He 'passed into an adjoining cab inet, where be met sv couple ot nis intimate counsel and deyoted partisans. They told him that the decisive moment had come that, in fact, he must now choose whether he would go to prison as a cap or to the Touenea as an emperor that the allied factions in Parliament intended on the morrow to introduce and carry a measure that would Infallibly re in his impeachment and incarceration, unless energetically' prevented by the prompt execution of the counter stroke that had been long since prepared, and which he must now let fall.

All the entrances into the Palace in which sittings were held were guarded' by troops, with strict orders to prevent members of the Assembly from passing in. The first intimation that the Parisians of the audacious revolutionary movement which was in process of execution came from the placards which, by order of the usurping Dictator, were posted hp on the walls all over the city- -The President escorted by a strong body of horse.

There is no attempt to incite the slaves XoT runaway, ana. they themselves, catching the healthy tone of public sentiment, never entertain a thought, of such a thing.

It exhibits in a clear iighf and yet in a modest manner sta-cere and earriest struggle of this distinguished Senator to settle the dispute about California by extending the Missouri line to the PaaiflcT "irproves beyond question, that he was the first statesman in this country who proposed that just measure and shows that he never surrendered the plan until-it became hopeless and vain. Itis useless to disguise the fact, that Judge Douglas stands prominently forward among the group from which the nominee of the National Democratic Convention will probably be selected. It is also useless to disguise the fact, that bis nomination would be. much mpre agreeable to the majority of Democratic politicians in Virginia, than.that of. almost any other distinguished man who now seems to stand a chance for that high honor.

No portion of the South can object to Judge Douglas. He has never faltered or altered in justice to the South.

It is not now, whenthe.battie isiougnLand the Southern; states are Deaien.tnai ne has to make bids to the South, and talk about a Missouri line which can never be applied.

His age, his rapid rise, the humble station from which he has raised himself to the first dignities of the nation, and the spotless rectitude of his political escutcheon, are all reasons which impel upon us the belief that before the -National Convention meets for the nomination of a Presidential candidate, the nomination of Judge Douglas will be a foregone conclusion."
