Under the above caption, the Chicago Un•
ion, the leading Democratic paper in Illinois,
thus discourses :
• In the first numberk issued of the National
Union we defined the true position of Setta
tor Douglas. We told our readers in good
faith that the Anti Lecompton police of our
Senator was the first step - towards affiliation
with the opponents of the Democratic party
that it was a premeditated and understood
plan, fully'arranged, and not a mere acciden
tal opposition on one point. We know that
"he had made up his mind to act against the
Democratic Administration, even before he
understood' what was the character of the
Lecompton COnstitution s , and long before he
left Chicago to resume hie'Setratorial duties.
Directly ho spike in dehate, we knew his
converSion was no mistake-, but told our
friends that he had united with Mr. Seward.
The Senators rowed their mutual love and
admiration in this city. It was a strange
spectacle to see two men so averse, suddenly - 1
grow so fond of each other, and some.folks
said their lose only‘shoived the ho lowness of
Congressional asperity': and they couCluded,
therefore, that it was Senatorial courtesy to
snarl at each other in Washington, and to
profess undying attachment
_to each other in
private life. We felt the union was complete.
notwithstanding the assertion 'of Senato - r
Dowdas that he was still
, a Demerit% and
that he would
remain the same effirient and
undying opponent orfanatical Republicanism
and hypocritical Americanism that" be has
ever been. There were °Mere besides us who
paw whither Douglas was drifting, and they
left the vessel sailing under false colors,
manned the ship of the Constitution, and ral
lied beneath the letnrier of the Union. But
there were those who had sailed so long in
the vessel of politics which had been steered
so truly by their honored.. conunander, when
they had elevated for his tried devotion to
th e inteiests of Democracy, that they could
not believe that he was platting -them false,
that he of nil others would mislead them,
atilt he would date, even - if he wished, to land
the Democracy in the frightful haven of Re
publicanism. They could not, would not,
dared not. harlmr the thought, and so thev
followed him blinik, and even when he bro't
them to the very shores of Republirani-tn,
they' thought' be would change his course and
land them safely, after their perilous enrage,
'once more on-the shores of true Democracy ;
but they were doomed to disappointment.-=
The true but deluded% Democrats . find they
have been deceived, and aie rallying under
that banner, which it is -to be regretted they
should have deserted, even for a Douglas.
Our friends find nosy that we were 'right in
our conclusions relative to the political trea
son of Mr. Douglas. Our
_progwistientiims
are verified and fulfilled ; be:is a Republican
in full favor with Llorace Cheeky who, desires
to pay him the price of his treachery—a re
election to the U. S. Senate. Dow cheaply
has Mr. Douglas sold his splendid - chan'g'e for
th e Presidency, which the growing North
west in '64 would have been strong enongh
to have conferred upon trim, despite any re
sistance from atty other sources I But aim,
he has gone the way of Fremont, of Preston
Ring, of W. Cullen Bryant and Wentworth.
They too, contend they are ]democrats
yet are they Reptiblieans. They are elldwed
to differ on Banking, Free trade, and Harbor
and Riser Improvement'•, ani this priwilega
is to be given to Senator Douglas, as it has
been to all the Democratic renegades in the
Republican camp. By this means, they, still
claiming to be Dernoemts, draw off a few
Democratic votes ; they'can assert that the
Party has changed and not they (an original
idea with the first great Democratic deserter,
Henry Clay', surd not with Mr. Douglas).

LETTERS BEARING FIETITIOIIB ADDRESSES
NOT TO BE DELIvERED.--The following letter
to the 'Po.tmaster at Nashville settles the
disputed, point :
Post Office Departnient, June 3, 1858,
Dear Sir : In answer, to your inquiry,
whether the newspaper statements that the
Postmester•Generat has decided that "where
!letters reached any Post OffiCe, addressed to
fictitious names or parties, they should not
be - defivered to any one claiming to be.,the
representatives of the addressed perties,,but
be sent to the Department as dead letters." I
have to inform son that such decision Jas
been made, and the instructions, givelv'are,
that all such letters, not being deliverable
according to the standing regulations,shcluld,
in due course of time, be retarped we dead
letters.
I m, respectfully, your obedient savant;

*ho has changed
The above pertinent question is tints
answered by the West Chester Affersonian . .
The Wig is a lit0(1 one, lint It ill &Waned.:
'ln August, 1857, a•daily journal, called
"The Press," was commenced-in Philadelphia:
It was hailed with pleasure by many Dernq
criits, who anticipated irf it, a paper that
would ever be .true to the Democratic psity,
its-organization, its mensoresoind its public
,men and always hostile to Abolitionism,
Black Republicanism, and Know-Nothing
ism. Because it was -supposed such would.
be its• course, Democrats patronized, - while
the enemies of Democracywould give it no
countenance or support.
What is the aspect of the case in June,
'5B ? Let any one who happens to be, at or
near the Railroad Depot in our borough, on
the arrival of the 4norbing train from Mita
delphia,notice the men who make a rush for,
and carry Mt the "Press," and be can answer
the question. He will see a score and more
who have been Anti-Masoas, National Re
publicans and Whigs, and are riow either'
Black Republicans or Know-Nothings, turn
their backs upon the '''Daily News," and
"North Anaeriean,"anrl grasp for the "Press,"
as the paper of their choice—the paper whose
politics suits their views, and whose course
snits their purposes. '
Now,. how and why is this Who has,,
changed 4_ These men never - ;ere Demo
crats—are always ready to enter tiny com
bination against the Democra6l. • They re
main—as they Lave always been, oppored to
the Democratic party, There can, therefore,
be but one answer to the above question. "The
Press" has changed from being a Denierciatic
paper, into a journal that meets the views
•and purposes of the Know• Nothings and
Black Republicans. __These politicans regard
it as a co-laborer with Greelev's "Trikune,"in
war upon the Democracy and National Ad
mini tration, and because they see and. be
lieve it to be such, they recognize-and patro
nize it as their Plrila,delphia organ.
And it is this "Press"—now known to be
partly edited by D-. Ider, one of the Fre
mont Writers and mowers of 1856—this
thui changed and goce over to the
enemy—that presumes to call •President
Buchanan to account for the policy of his
administration—and to dictate to the Demo
crats of Chester and Delaware, whom they,
shall .nominate and support for Congress.
Why In all o f it, th e "Press" is
but conforming to, Black Republican senti
ment and feeling.. The Black Republicans
and Know•NGiiiings are hostile to President
Buchanan's Administration ;- they make such
hostility the basis .of - their union. The
Black Republicans and Know Nothings are
unceasing in' their assaults upon prominent
and active supporters of the National Ad
ministration. The Black Republicans and
Know• Nothings are moved with a r bitter and
unyielding !retied of the. Democracy of the
State and Union, because that Democracy are
true to the Constitution and the Union and
to Pteiident Buchansur?
CONGRESS AGJOURNEI3.—The Congress of
the United States adjourned on Monday
evening of last week, at half past - six o'clock,
:trier a session of a little over six months.
TheapproptiatiOn bills were all -disposed of
before adjourning, but a large amount of
basiness was had over until the next Meeting,
in December next.
'The Senate was immediately convened in
extra -session by the President. DM great
feature of the extra session, which ended On
Weenie.-day, was the unanimous
,adoption of
the Resolutions offered by_ Senator Mason cf
.They are as follows:
Resolved, (es the judgment of the-Seente),
ThatArnelican vesrels on the high sea, in
time of peace, bearing the American Hag.
remain tinder the jeirtsdiction of the country
to which they belong, and therefore, any
vi-itation, molestation, or detention of such
vessels by force, or by exhibition of force, on
the part of a foreign power, is in derogation
of the sovereignty of the United States.
Resolved, That the recent and 'repeated
violations of this immunity, committed by
vessels-of-war belonging to the navy of Great
Britain in the Gulf of Mexico rind the • adja
cent seas, by firing into, Interrupting; and
otherwise forcibly detaining them on their
voyage, requires, in the judgment of the Se
nate. such unequivocal and fitral disposition
of the subject, by the government of Great
Britain and the United States, touching the
rights involved, as shall satisfy the just de
mands of this gOvernment, and preclude here
after-the occurence of like aggressions.
Resolved, That the Senate fully - appro - yes
the_ action of the . Fiecative in pending a
naval fume inro . 4 he infested taftss with orders
'to protect all vessels of the United States on
the high seasfrciun search or detention by the
vessels-of-war of any other nation." And it
is the opinion of the Senate that, if it becotno
necessary, such additional legislation should
he supplied in aid to the executive power as
will make such protection effeottnd.
These Resolutions, we understand; as set
ting forth the position of the National Ads
ministration with reference to the . right of
visitation and i search, and - their unanimous
endotsetneUt is a just tribute to the wisdom
and patriotism of the Chief Magistrate of the
Nation. Even- the bitterest reviler of the
Administration was forced to vote for the.,
resolutions. and thus virtually refute the po
sition _which has been advanced during the
session, that the foreion policy of James
Buchanan was not up to. that high mark
which was required by the exigencies of the
times. These'Resolurions not only deny in
the most positive manner the right of Great
Britain or any other nation to molest, visit
or detain the v e ssels of this country. but they
'also announce the doctrine that the time has
now arrived when an "unequivocal an#fmal
disposition of the subject" mist be made, in
order to poitect Anr&c . an rights in the
future. This goes deeper than mete apolo
gies for the past offences, which carry with
them no disavowal of the right of search' as
claimed by Great Britain. The butt at which
tbis -arrow is aimed is that which stands
mrdway'in this great controversy, and over
looks the whole. Great Britain must'now
took this question fairly in the faces She.
must either renounce the absurd pretences
set up with reference to her rightitointerftre
with our ships on the high seas; or openly
claim it and taltejlte consequen ces. When
this - alternative is once`fairlv presented, as
it is in the Resolutions of Mr. 11.1a.son,then will
have arrived the Cute for final and satisfac
tory adjustment of the whole difficulty, upon
a Basis compatible with the dignity of the
nation and• the right of the citizens.
The Senate -hating adjourned, the:Whole
matter is now left in the hands of thr;:-Presi
dent. With the light stied from thtfßesolu
tions passed by the Senate, ibereistin tliffi
cultrin understanding what course the Pre
sident will pursue. It will be - stich as to
command, the , support of the country, and en
force its sovereignty over all the yessetti that
bear its 111 and sail . under its protection.
The nation will repose with a perfect seenfitY
on a long tried' Statesmanship and sound
pattiotisnirof the'crtief Magistrate at-thlivinvs
.portant crisis of its history.

We rejoieo6 perceive. that the true Na

ed boldly and , as became-their faith and their
prirtrat the late SpringfiAd State Convention.
They have shown that they are not to be af

whether big or little, have no fears'for
And while we must regret any . semblance of
division or disagreement, in any portion of

_upon the; firmness with which our Illinois
brethren have met the issue forced upon them
by the fallen demigod - they had so tong. wor
shipped—so long borne aloft upon their
shoulder& When he departed from the strict
line of his_ duty, they left him where befall
—sorrowfully. but sternly._
Had the trite - Democracy of New-I , Wrk,
Ohio and other States met as made* :the.
first beginnings of party ilefection. when ths
anti-slavery agitators raised their heads in our
ranks—all 'would have been well with ,us,
long since. Here in New York, we dill crush

- Reuse Convention—of 1847, but unhappily
we suffered it again ,t9-__Wize forth after the
re-union of the party in 1847. .It requires, iu
deed, air nnttsuai detenfiination and courage
to deal with these heresies which exhibit
themselves 'in the midst of our -organization ' ,
from time to time. There is but one way,
however,.to encounter them, and the Illinois
Democracy have"shown that they know it :
it is to give no quarter to die insidious error:
Donglasism in Illinois is now a thing cut
off from communication and identity with.the
Administration Democracy of other . States.
Time will heal the wound ; but the lesson
will-be taught that is much needed, alp! .fu
tote malcontents-will, we hope,Are.warned by
• it, from this time forth. , --
The course pursued by the friends of the
Administration in that State,deserves the
sanction and app - ioval of the Regular Democ
racy everywhere. These "Douglas Demo
mats," at the former :State Convention, as :
sumed to set them-elves in opposition to Mr.
Buchanan and his policy, on the ground of
principle. 'They ch erred him with departing
from Democratic principle, and claimed- that
Douglas had maintained what Buchanan
bad abandoned ! The friends of the Adnitn
istration acted promptly and nobly in at once
Convoking another State Convention. Then,
the Douglas people were frightened. Ap
peals were made at Government quarters, to
induce the Administration to stop all this,
and cause its friends to surrender to Mr.
Douglas. at discreticin.' This 471.4 very -prop
eilv declined.
The AdMinistration Convention has now
met at the Capital of Illinois with full ranks
and firm determination, nominated what mini
he considered the regular Democratic State
Ticket, transacted its businevi with decorum
and deliberation, re-affirmed in its resolutions
the confidence which the Democracy every
where repose in the PreAdent and his Meas
ures, and thus adjourned. The responsibility.
therefore, of Airthcr difficulty, is placed• upon
Senator Douglas and his Anti-Lecompton al
