DOUGLAS TURNED REV E VER.

Senator Douglas, in order to rally his faltering followers, and turn back the wave of opposition so strongly set against him in the Democratic camp, has come out in a long article on his hobby of “Squatter Sovereignty” in the last Harper's Magazine. The Chicago Herald, (Administration,) in commenting on the article, winds up as follows: “Against the clearly-expressed wishes ol conservative men ol all parties, against the successlul endeavors of Mr. Buchanan to allay a most mischievous and profitless agitation, and against the palpable interests of the nation, this ambitious aspirant is determined to keep ulive the slavery excitement, with the hope of riding into power upon the whirlwind and the sKirin. ’Lt him ride on. YVe trust that his political career is near its end, und that the day ot redemption is at hand.”
