Gas tho editors Of the BugIs have re-
pudiated Senator Douglas since his great
speech for the Union, and have taken par
sicular pains 10 quote in a commedatory
/ style from JEFF. Davis message, We would
suggest tRat they take down the portrait
of the MIaasis Sematog In aheir efaea, and
put up that fthe pirate President of the
G. s. A, with the death head, and cross
bones under it. 1t would be very apFoprs-
ate"
For the benefit Of the aforesaid individ-
ual, we will say that we are not in the
habit of hosting either fgss oFportrsits
to be taken down By our ot0m hands the
next morning after hoisting them. The
following extract from speech delivered
in the q. s Senate On the l5th Of Aarah
1851, by Senator DouGLAs We heartily
approve, and for this patriotic speech
we could afford 70 allow his portrait to
hang in eus of6cs while time shall endure.
Lea thssa VINO have quite recently taken
Senator DoUGLAs to their fond embrace
read the following and then say who
should be repudiated:
| 81 prefer such an amicable settlement
to peaceable disunion; and prefer IL Q
\ thousand times to civil war. LIZ we car
adopt such amendments as will be salts

Cotton States which will soon embrace
large majority of the people in those
States, and bring them back of their OWE
