The Douglas Monument.

President Johnson has promised the' committee in charge, that he would bo present at Chicago aud deliver an address 011 thc occasion of laying thc cornerstone of the Douglas monument, provided thti eerCn'iofty is postponed until aftfc'r the adjournment- of Congress. To this the committcc have consented. It was announced some time time since that Governor Oglcsby, of Illinois,- was to profane this sa'jrcd occasion by delivering the oration but it appears if the report was even true that the committee have wisely changed thc programme.- There is an appropriateness in- the selection of President. Johnson for this occasion, aside froni his character as chief executive, that is to bc met with in 110 other living statesman of the day. Douglas and Johnsoh wcro' both members of thc great Democratic party, were Senators together, and in the dark days of 'til both stood shoulder to' shoulder in a common effort to preserve thc institutions of thc country from that maelstrom of destruction into which it appeared wc were inevitably drifting. Now at thc close of thc struggle—at the end of five troubled years—tho people of thc Northwest propose to consumiiTatfe the work that was began shortly after tho' death of the statesman, and select a man whose peculiar fitucss for thc t»sk is above that of all others.
