Douglas At Home.-- The course pursued by Douglas on the Nebraska question, meets a just and merited rebuke at the hands of his neighbors at Chicago. A large Anti-Nebraska meeting has been held there, at which many of Mr. Douglas' most influential supporters, hitherto, took strong ground against his course. We notice that the figure-makers at Washington, count upon four dough-faces from this State, whom they expect to vote for the Bill in the House. God forbid! that the First District shall be represented by any such men.
