I can conceive it possible for men to conspire to do a good thing, and I really find nothing in Judge Douglas' course or arguments that is contrary to or inconsistent with his belief of a conspiracy to nationalize and spread slavery as being a good and blessed thing, Continued Laughter. and so I hope he will understand that i do not at all question but that in all this matter he is entirely conscientious." More laughter and cheers. But to draw your attention to one of the points I made in this case, beginning at the beginning. hen the Nebraska bill was introduced, or a Bhort time afterwards, by an amendment 1 believe, it was provided that it must be considered the true intent and meaning of this act not to legislate slavery into any State or Territory, or to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their own domestic institutions in their I'KKSS AND TRIBUNE.

Two Dred. Scott Orators Refused to "Trotted Out." be After the discussion at Freeport between Lincoln and Douglas ended, the crowd adjourned to the front of the Brewster House in vast numbers, blocking up the entire street for a great distance, to hear the Hon. Owes Lovkjot. We regret that we were unable to obtain a report of hid speech, lie commenced where the expiration cf Lincoln's half hour, obliged him to leave cS in his rejoinder to the little dodger, and took up the thread of the argument and concluded" upon Douglas. For about forty minutes he poured into Douglas and his worshippers a succession of volleys of facts, deductions end denunciations that were irresistible and withering.

He showed up Douglas' skulking and dodging on the Dred Scott decision and popular sovereignty, with a master's skill. He rapped him over the sconce for his pettifogging about village resolutions and his cowardly firinking from a fair encounter with," Abraham" on the real issues novo betore the people. He waded into Douglas on his nigger-catching propensities, and said that Judge Douglas might ia his great Union-saving zeal, play dog to his heart's ntent. He might pursue the fleeing fugitive, and loll out his tongue and lap water from the pro-slavery puddles on the wayside he might seize the escaping doou woman ana fasten his canine fangs in her quivering flesh, and hold Uer until Jlas-a" arrived with his handcuffs and miuades, but Lovejoy would not join in the iha-e nor help m.t'ie the arrest, and ilr. Douglas might make the most of it either Egypt or Ca-nanon the stump or in the bar-room, before his worshippers or in presence of freemen The eilct was electrical.

The great crowd swayed to and fro, and roared their applause in a voice of thunder. The Douglasites were filled with shame and confusion and skulked from the ground. The harangues that had been announced that their Dickey's and Maloney's were to make that night, were indefinitely postponed, and the doughface heroes of negro breeders made themselves invisible to the naked eye. They had no bowels for a discussion with the giant of the Third District, and considering discretion the better part of valor, kept out of the way. We never saw anything wilt as fast as the Douglas worshippers under the logical castigation Lovejoy administered to their idoL Their downcast or averted laces told the tale of their discomfiture.

Their conceit in Dug was completely taken out of them. They quietly beat a retreat and left the hbid in possession of the Republicans, who continued the speaking in front of the Court House until a late hour at night. This is no fancy picture, but the actual tacts. A worse whipped crowd than were the Douglasites we never saw. Lovejoy reminded us of Sampson among the l'hilistines.

And bo ended the great Freeport demonstration. A Great Regulator. The V. S. EiOR.om.ut states that some of the moat sagacious of the New York merchants have recurred once more to the idea of "a great regulator," rut, however, in the Bense of a regulator like the late National L'ank, operating by a charter, to control credits by a still more expansive and overshadowing system of credits, but by applying a stringent system to the credits, and raukiui; money more valuable in New York than elsewhere, that ia to say, to prevent discounting on credits to compel banks to lend no more money than they have got.

If they have $1,000,000 of capital, and 100,000 of money actually deposited with them, they may lend $1, 100,000 and no more. They shall not be alii vai to return thit moaiiy to other parties on the ground of a chance that the first borrower uuy not draw it immediately. It is believed that by the adoptian of a system like this, the great fluctuations in credits will be prevented, and a consequent steadiness in business secured. It is supposed that a large conservative specie bank would moderate the prevalent antagonism between the bank interest and the commercial interest. Obituary.

The second great debate between Lincoln and Douglas came off at Freeport, on Friday afternoon. The day broke chilly, cloudy and lowering. Alternations of wind, rain and sunshine filled up the forenoon. At 12 o'clock the weather settled dismally cold and damp, and the afternoon carried out the promise of the morning with the single exception of the rain. The crowd, however, was enormous.

At nine o'clock the Carroll County delegation came in with a long procession headed by a band of mu sic and a banner on which was inscribed CARROLL COUNTY fje ABRAHAM LINCOLN. i At 10 o'clock a special traia from Amboy, Dixon and Polo, arrived with twelve cars crowded full. Mr. Lincoln was on this train, and some two thousand citizens of Freeport and vicinity had assembled to escort him to the Rrew-ster House. Six deafening cheers were given as our next Senator stepped from the cars alter which the whole company formed in procession and escorted him around the principal streets to the elegant hotel.

Here the reception speech was delivered by Hon. Thomas J. Turner to which Mr. Lincoln responded in a few ap propriate remarks. Half an hour later a train of eight cars arrived from Galena.

Another procession was formed, preceded by a banner on which was inscribed THE GALENA LINCOLN CLTJB. The delegation marched to the Brewster House and gave three rousing cheers for Abra ham Lincoln. Mr. appeared on the balcony and returned his thanks amid a storm of ap plause. But the the special train on the Galena road from Rock ford, Marengo and Belvidere, eclipsed the whole consisting of sixteen cars and over a thousand persons.

They also marched to the Brewster House with a national flag bearing the words WINI.EBAGO COUNTY fob "OLD ABE." Mr. Lincoln was again called out and received with loud cheers. Douglas arrived in the town on Thursday eve ning and was escorted from the depot by what purported to be a torch-light procession. It was held to be a torch-light procession by a number of Dred Scottites who were in the se cret, but with the mass of the community it passed for a small pattern, candle-box mob of Irishmen and street nrchins. "Plenty of "torches, gentlemen cried the chief lictor, 'plenty of torches; won't cost you a cent.

"Don't be afraid of 'em." He succeeded in passing" about seventy-five of them. The rest will be good for next time. At two o'clock the people rushed to the grove, a couple of squares in the rear of the Brewster House. The crowd was abont one-third larger than that at Ottawa, It formed a vast circle around a pyramid of lumber in the cant which had been erected for the speakers and re porters. JHr.

Lincoln's Speech. Mr. Lincoln was introduced by Hon. Thomas J. Turner, and was creeted with loud oh When the applause had subsided, he said: Ladies and Gentlesibx On Satnrdav last.

Judge Douglas and myself first met in public uiscussion. ne spoKe one nour, an nour-and-a-half, and he replied for half an hour. The order is now reversed. I am to speak an hour. he an hour-and-a-haif, and then 1 am to reply for halt an hour.

I propose to devote myself during the first hour to the scope of what was brought was brought within the range of his half hour speech at Ottawa. Of course there was brought within the scope in that half hour's speech something ot his own opening speech. In the course cf that opening argument Judge Douglas proposed to me seven distinct interrogatories. In mv speech of an hour and a half, 1 attended to some other parts of his speech, and incidentally, as I thought, answered one of the interrogatories then. I then distinctly intimated to him that I would answer the rest of his inierrogatories.

He made no intimation at the time of the propo sition, nor did he in his reply allude at all to mat suggestion ot mine. 1 do him no mpistice in saying that he occupied at least half of his reply in dealing with me as though I had refused to answer his interrogatories. I now pro pose that I will answer any of the in terrogatories, upon conditiou that he will will answer questions from me not exceeding the same number. I give him an opportunity to respond. The Judge remains silent.

I no.v say to you that I wilt answer his interrogatories, whether he answers mine or no! applause and that I have done so, I shall propound mine to him Applause. I Owing to the rres of people against the plat form, oar reporter did not reach the stand until Mr. Lincoln had spoken to this point. Tile pre vious remarks were taken by a genth mtn in Fiee port, wao uas politely iurmshed them to us.j 1 have supposed myself, since the organization of the Republican party at Bloomington, in May, lS5t, bound as a party man by the latforms of the party, then end since. If in any interrogatories which I shall answer I go beyond the scope of what is witbin these platforms it will be perceived that no one is responsible but myself.

Having said thus much, I wiil take np the Judge's interrogatories as 1 find them printed ia the Chicago Times, and answer them seriatim. In order that there may be no mistake about it, I have copied the intern gat ories in wriiinir, and also my answers to them. The first one of these interrogatories is in these words Question 1." 1 desire to know whether Lincoln to-day stands, as he did in 1S54, in favor of the unconditional repeal of the fugitive slave law Answer. I do not now, nor ever did, stand in favor of the unconditional repeal of the fugitive slave law. Cries of Good' Q.

2. "I desire him to answer whether be stands pledged to-day, as be did in 1354, against the admission ot any'more slave States into the Union, even if the people want them A. I do not now, nor ever did. stand pledcsd against the admission of any more slave States into tne nion. y.

3. I want to know whether he stands pledged against the admission of a new btate into the Union with such a Constitution as the people of that state may see lit to make." A. I do not stand pledged against the admis sion of a new State into the Union, with such a constitution as toe people ot that State may see fit to make. Cries of good, "good Q. 4.

I wan't to know whether he stands to day pledged to the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia A. I do not stand to-day pledged to the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. Q. 5. I desire him to answer whether he stands pledged to the prohibition of the slave trade between tne omerent states A.

I do cot stand pledged to the prohibition of the slave trade between the ditlerent Stat-. Q. 6. 1 desire to know whether he stands pledged to prohibit slavery in all the Territories of the United States, Xorth as well as South of the Missouri compromise line. A.

Iam impliedly, if not expressly, pledged to a belief in the right and duty of Congress to pronioit slavery in an tne united estates Terri tories. Great Q. 7. I desire him to answer whether he is epposed to the acquisition of any new territory unless slavery is first prohibited therein." A. I am not generally opposed to honest ac-ousition of territory: and.

iu anv eiven case. I would or would not oppose such acqusition, ec- coraipgiy as i mignt mine suca acquisition would or would cot agitate the slavery question amonrj ourselves, cries ot good, srood. Now, my triends, it will be perceived upon an extminationv of these questions and answers. that so far i have only answered that I was not pledged, to this, tnat or tne otner. The Judge has not framed his interogatories to esk me any thing more than this, and 1 have answered in strict accordance with the interrogatories, and have answered truly that.

I am not pledged at swered. But I am not disposed to hang upon the exact form of his interrogatory. 1 am au v. LUIUba TV 1 1 I I I 1 1 rather disposed to take up at least some these questions, and state what I really think upon them. As to the first one, in regard to the Fugitive Slave Law, 1 have never hesitated to say.

and I do not now hesitate to say. that I think, under tha Constitution of the United States, the people of tub oonioern otaies are euuuea to a Congressional Fugitive Slave Law. Having said that. I bave had nothing to say in regard to the existing Fugitive Slave Law further than that 1 think some of the objections that pertain to it, without lessening its efficiency. And inasmuch as we are not now in an agitation in regard to an alteration or modification ot that law, I would not be the man to introduce it as a new subject of agitation npon the general question of slavery.

In regard to the other question of whether I am pledged to the admission of any more slave States into the Union, I state to you very frankly that 1 would be exceedingly sorry ever to be put in a position of having to pass npon that question. 1 should be exceedingly glad to know that there would never be another slave State admitted into the Union applause but I must add, that if slavery shall be kept out of the Territories during the territorial existence of any one given Territory, and then the people shall, having a fair chance and a clear field, when they come to adopt the Constitution, do such an extraordinary thing as to adopt a Slave Constitntion, uninfluenced by the actual presence.of the institution among them, I see no alternative, if we own the country, but to admit them into the Union. Tne third interrogatory is answered by the answer to the second, it being, as I conceive, the same as the eecond. The fourth one is in regard to the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. In rela tion to that, have my mind very distinctly made up.

I should be exceedinsrlv clad to see slavery abolished in the District of Columbia. Cries ot "good, I believe that Con gress possesses the constitutional power to abolish it. Yet as a member of Congress, I should not with my present views, be in favor of endeavoring to abolish slavery in the District of IVl wwmuiuia, u'jietss is wouia ne upon tuese conui-tions. First, that the abolition should be gradual. Second, that it should be on a vote of the majority of Qualified voters in the District.

and third. that cnmnpnRAtinn should be made to unwilline owners. With these three I contess I would be exceedingly clad to see Conirrps-i aimlUh Klvonr in the District ot Columbia, and, in the langujge of Henry Clay, sweep ft om our Capital that foul blot upon our nation." Loud applause. Ia regard to the filth interrogatory, I must say here, that as to the question of the abolition of the Slave Trade between the different States, I can truly answer, as I have, that I am pledged to uuiuiMg auout ii. it is a suDject to which 1 have not given that mature consideration that would make me feel authorized to state a position so as to hold myseif entirely bound by it.

In other words, that question has never been prominently enough before me to induce me to investigate whether we really have the Constitutional power to do it. I could investigate it if I had sufficient time, to bring mvself to aconclu-sion upon that subject, but I have not done so, and 1 say so frankly to you here, and to Judge Luuitu. must say, nowever, tnat it 1 should be ot opinion that Congress does possess the Constitutional power to abolish Uavery among the different I should still not be in favor ot the exercise of that power unless upon some conservative principle as I conceive it, skin to what I have said in relation to the abolition of slavery in the District ot Columbia. Ky answer as to whether I desire that slavery should be prohibited in all Ue Territories of the United States is full and explicit within itself, and cannot be made clearer by any comments of mine. So 1 suppose in regard to the question whether I am opposed to the acquisition of any more territory unless slavery is first prohibited therein, mv answer is finrh that could add nothing by way of illustration, or mjocii ueuer unuerstooo, man the answer which I have placed in writing.

Now in all this, the Judge has me and he has me on the record. I suppose he had flattered himself that 1 was really entertaining one set ot opinions for one place and another net. fnr on- other place that I was afraid to say at one place what 1 uttered at another. What I am saving here I suppose I say to a vast audience as strongly tending to Abolitionism as any audience iu the State of Illinois, and I believe I am Baying that which, if it would be affirmed to any reuuer mem enemies to myself, would be offensive to persons in this audience. I now proceed to propound to the Judire the in terrogatories, so far as I have framed them.

I will bring forward a new installment when I get tuem ready. Laughter. I will bring them lor- am now, only reaching to number four. iue nrsi one is Question 1. It the people of Kansas shall, bv means entirely unobjectionable in all other respects, adopt a State Constitution, and ask ad- mm un union unaer it, oejore they have the requisite number of inhabitants accord ing to tho English Bill some ninety-three thotsand will you vote to admit them Applause.

Are youm favor of acauirin? additional territory, in disregard of how such acquisition may afleet the nation on the slavery question? Cries ot "good," "good." As introductorv tn these interrntvcttni-iea nrfcltr. Judge Douglas propounded to me at Oitowa, he resda set of resolutions which he said Judire Irumbull and myself had participated in adopting, in the first Republican State Convention held at SprinL'tield. in October. 1954. He in.

sisted that I and Judge Trumbull, and perhaps, the entire Republican party were responsible iur iue uucinnes contained in tne set of resolutions which he read, and I understand that it was from that set of resolutions that he rieHnced the interrogatories which ha Tirnnonnnen to me. U3ine? these resolutions a a tnrt of authority for propounding those ques- nuua io me. iow say nere to day that I do not answer his interrogatories because of their springing at all from that set of resolutions which he read. 1 answered them because Judge Douglas thought tit to ask them. Ap plause, i ao not now, nor never did recognize any responsibility upon myself in that set of resolutions.

When I replied to him on that oc casion, I assured him that 1 never had anything io uo wua mem. i rejieat nere to-day, that 1 never in any possible form had anything to do with that set of resolutions. It turns out, I believe, that those resolutions were never passed in any Convention held in Springfield. Cheers and Laughter, It turns out that they were never passed at any Convention or any public meeting that I had any part in. I believe it turns out iu addition to all this, that there was not, in the fall of 1851, any Convention ho'ding a session in Springfield, calling iisell a Republican btate convention yet it is true there was a Convention, or assemblage of men cal iiig themselves a Conveution, at Springfield, that did pass some resolutions.

But so Utile did I really know of the proceedings of that Convention, or what set of re solutions lUeyhad though having a gene hnowieuge mat there had been such an assemblage of men there, that wliea Judge Douglas read the resolutions, I reaily did not know but they had bzea the resolutions passed then and there. I did not question that they were the resolutions adopted. For I couid not bring myself to suppose that Judge Douglus could s.iy what he did this subject without knowing that it was true. Cheers aud laughter I contented myself, on tnat occasion, with denying, as I truly could, all connection with them, i.ot denvins or affirming whether they were passed at Spriug- ueiu. avw it mrns out mat ne uaa got noia of some resolutions passed at some Convention or pnblic meeting ia Kane County.

Renewed laughter. I wish to say here that I don't conceive that in any fair and just mind this discovery relieves me at all. I had just as much to do with the Convention in Kane County as that at Springtteld. I am iust as much responsible for the resolutions at Kane County us those at Springheld, the amount ot tne responsibility being exactty nothing in either case; no more "than there would be in regard to a set of resolutions passed in tha moon. Laughter and loud cheers.3 i to extraordinary matter this canvass for some farther purpose than anything vet advanced.

Judge Douglas did not make his statement upon that occasion as matters that he Deiieved to be true, cut ne stated tbem roundly as being in such form r.s to pledge his ve racity for their truth. When tLe whole matter turns out as it does, ana wnen we consider who Judge Douglas is that he is a distineuished Senator of tho United States that he has served nearly twelve year as such that his character is not at all limited as an ordinary Senator of tne united states, out mat ms name has become of world-wide renown it is most extraordinary that he should so tor forget all the suggestions of justice to an adversary, or of prudence to to himself, as to venture upon the assertion of tnat wbica tne Eiigutest investigation would bave shown him to be wholly false. Cheers. I can only account for his having done so upon the supposition that that evil genius Which baa attended him thrauga Lis lif giving to him an apparent astonishing prosperity, such as to lead very many good men to doubt there being any advantage in virtue over vice Cheers and lauahter.l I say 1 can only account font on the supposition that that evil genius has at last made up its mind to forsake him. Continued cheers and laughter.

And I may add that another feature of the Judge's conduct in this canvass made more extraordinary by this incident is that he is in the habit, in almost all tho speeches he makes, of charging falsehood upon his adversaries mvself and others. I now ask whether he is able to find in anything that Judge Trumbull, lor instance, nas saiu, or anything that 1 have said, a justification at aii compared with what we have, in thu instance, for that sort of vulgarity Cries of "good," "good," "good." I have been ia thebabit of charging as a matter of belief on my part, that, in the introduction of the Nebraska bill into Congress, there was a conspiracy to make slavery perpetual and national. 1 have arranged from time to time the evidence whicn establishes and proves the truth of this cnarge. 1 recurred to this charge at Ottawa. 1 shall not now have time to dwell upon it at very great length, but inasmuch as Judge Douglas in his reply of half an hour, made some points upon me in relation to it, I propose noticing a few of them.

The Judge insists that, in the first speech I made, in which I very distinctly made that charge, he thought for a good while I was in fun that I was playful that I was not sincere about it and tbat be onlv crew annr and somewhat excited when he found tbat i insisted npon it as a matter of earnestness. He says he characterised it as a talsebood as far as I implicated his moral character in that transaction. Well, I did not know, till he presented that view that I had implicated his moral character. He is very much in the habit, when be argnes me np in to a position I never thought of occupying, of very cosily saying ho has no doubt Liucoln is conscientious in saying so. He shoul 1 remember that I did not know but what he was Atrorrnrs his free- Dred Scott Swallowed ia Chicago and thrown up In Freeport.

WHAT THE SIPEEJ1E COIET SATS, What FresicTant Buchanan Says. THE LITTLE DODGERCORNERED AND CAUGHT. Mr. Douglas has at last, to use his own chaste and classic language, been trotted out," and brought to his milk." The" effort has boon iu progress for four years, with very little prospect of success, but on Friday last he was brought up tb. a round turn by Mr.

Lincoln, and made to let down." During the struggle over the Kansas Nebraska bill, Mr. Douglas voted in the Senate against an amendment asserting the right of the Territorial Legislature to exclude slavery, lie was interrogated upon the point as to whether a Territorial Legislature had the right to exclude the institution, both in the United States Senate and upon the stump in 1S54 and in 1856 all along through the exciting discussions which have grown out of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise fend in every instance, without a solitary ex ception, when so interrogated, his reply was, That is a question for the Su preme Court of the United fctates tojletermine." Well, the Supreme Court did determine the question in its decision of the famous Died Scott case. Here is what it said: We are satisfied that no ore who reads at tentively the page in Peter's Reports to which we nave reterreu, can suppose that tne voun meant iu that case to say that Congress had a right to prohibit a citizeu of the United States iromtamng any property ne lawiuny held into a Territory of tue United States. And if Congress itself cannot do this ii it is beyond the powers conferred on the Federal Governmentit will be admitted, we presume, t-iat it could not authorize a Territorial Government to (xercise them. And if the Constitution recognizes the right of property of the masterin a slave, and makes no distinction between that descrip tion ot property and other property owned by a citizen, no tribunal, acting under the authority of the United States, whether it be LEGISLATIVE, executive or judicial, ha aright to draw suck a distinction, or deny to it the benefit of the provisions and guarantees which have been j'fovi- aearor the vrottctionot nrivate vroveriil auamei.

the encroacirnents 'of the Government." Dred iSeott decision delivered bu Chief Jmtici 'Taney, p. 451. There is no chance for mistaking the language here cm plojed. It is clear and con clusive upon the point which Mr. Douglas had always said could be decided only by the Supreme Court.

The doctrine embraced, to wit that the federal constitution carries slavery into all the Territories belonging to the United States, and protects it there indefi- ance of Congressional intervention or the en actments of the Territorial Legislatures, Las been accepted by all the slaveholding States and adopted by the Democratic party without a dissenting voice. Mr. Buchanan, the present head and chief exponent of that party, in his famous Siliiman letter of last Septem ber, declared tliat "Slavery existed at that period, and still exists, in Kansas, UNDER TUE CONSTITUTION Or' THE UNITED STATES. This point has at last been fiualhj settled by the hiqhet tribunal known to our laws. How it could ever be seriously doubted is a mystery." Mr.

Douglas, himself, again and agaia indorsed this decision. He indorsed it in all his speeches in this State last summer and fall, he indorsed it during the wiuter upon the floor of the Senate, he has indorsed it in all his speeches delivered since his return from up to last Friday. The point of his acquiescence in that decision has been made upon him scores of times, and still in every speech his reply, in substance, has been The Supreme Court ha3 fo declared.

I have no crusade to preach acrainst that august body. I have no warfare to make against it. 1 receive the final decision of the Judeesot that Court, when pronounced, as the final adjudication vpon all questions within their jurisdic The Eame language was substantially held by Mr. Douglas in his subsequent speeches. His followers throughout the State took their cue from the bold manner in which he uttered his approval of that decision and indorsed all its consequences.

A writer in the Chicago Times elaborated a series of articles to establish the wisdom and ju-tice of the dictum which makes slavery the common law of the land; and the editor of the limes indorsed the views of the writer. Other Douglas organs followed in the wake of the Times. The Douglas party in Illinois was as fully committed to the doctrine as its acknowledged leader and his subalterns had it in their power to commit it. Those who took the stump for Douglas came square up to the owing Dred Scott at a single gulp. At Vandalia, on the 18th Captain Post, a prominent Doug las candidate for nomination to Congress from the 7th District, discoursed on the sub- on the subject after the following fashion I know.

I once preached the doctrine, that the people of a Territory had the right, by the passage of a territorial law, to establish or exclude slavery. I know that was the doctrine formerly maintained by the Democratic party but have become satisfied that we were wrong. If 1 own a horse in Kentucky I am at liberty to take that horse into any Territory of the United States. Why? Because he is my property. The case is "precisely the same with my nigger.

The Constitution of the United States protects me in the enioyment of my property anywhere in the Territories." Captain Post had just heard Douglas' speeches all through Csntral and Southern Illinois he had conversed and counselled with him in private. He understood the position of his master fully. He knew what his opinions for that latitude were. He gave free expression to them, not dreaming, we presume, that Mr. Douglas would Eeek to convey a different impression in another part of the State.

Ve now call the reader's special attention to the extract which we have copied above from t'je Freeport speech. Mr. Douglas, with an audacity that no one but himself could assume, boldly declares that he has asserted on every stump in Illinois that in (his) opinion the people of a Territory can, by "lawful means, exclude slavery, before comes in a3 a State." Now we assert that Mr. Douglas has not declared any such thiog oa any one stump in the State. From 1854 to 1857, when asked for his opinion on this subject, and he was often asked, he invariably referred his interrogator to the Supreme Court for an answer since the Dred Scott decision of that bo3y, when asked for his opinion, his answer has been such as he gave in his Chicago speech I respect that (the Dred Scott) decision I bow with deference to it." We ask the people of Illinois, of every party, if this is not so.

And if it is, what shall we think of the man who thus impudently and unblushingly falsifies his own record in the face of assembled thousands 1 The other point to which we direct atten tion is, that while Mr. Douglas sought to impress his audience with the belief that he repudiated the most objectionable feature if the Dred Scott decision, he in reality did not commit himself against it. His position is, that notwithstanding the Dred Scott decision carries slavery into the Territories, still the people thereof can exclude it or admit it just as tney please, for the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or an hour anywhere, un less supported by local police regulations that these police regulations can only be furnished by the local legislature and hence a people who do not desire slavery in their Territory, have only to elect a legislature of their mind and the federal constitution and that august tribunal," the Supreme Court, are nowhere I Mr. Douglas was once a Judge of the Supreme Court of Illinois he still claims to be a lawyer, and boasts of being deeply learned in the constitution. If he is honest in this exposition of constitutional law, what becomes of his claims as a statesman If it was his intention to practice a deception upon the people as to his real sentiments, his claims to honesty and truthfulness are still less.

Look at the fallacy of the petition. What local police regulations are necessary for tue protection of slaves? Mr. Douglas is a slave holder will he in his next speech have the goodness to name the local police regulations by hich he holds his slaves in Mississippi 2 If any one is desirous of provoking h's rage and hearing him pour out his choicest billingsgate, let him propound that question to Douglas at his next appointment. So far as the Territories are concerned, the argument of Douglas carries its refutation upon its face, and is in direct conflict with the dictum of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case. The language of the Court is And if the Constitution recognizes the right of property of the master in a slave, and makes no distinction between that description ot property and other property owned by a citizen, no tribunal, acting under the authority of the United States.

Whether LEGISLATIVE. Exe cutive or judicial, has a right to draw such a distinction, or DENY to it the benefit of the provisions and quaranieesuhich have been provided for the protection of private property against the encroachments of th Government." Here then, if local police regulations are necessary to the maintenance of slavery, the Supreme Court has decided that the local Legislature has not the right to DENY the benefit of the provisions and guarantees which Lave been provided for its protection. In other words, the local Legislature is EE- QUIUED to furnish the necessary police reg ulations. But suppose it refuse and neglect the requirement, what Is the federal government powerless fcjj protect private rights within its junsdn. on here are the Governor, the U.

S. Marshal, the United States Army, and what their business in the Territories if it be not to protect private lights and enforce he guarantees of the Con stitution against the encroachments of the local government Is Mr. mglas a knave, or does he consider the people of Illinois to be fools, and so believing, insult their intelli- e-ee with such nonsense as all this talk about local police regulations," and the inability of the fcderil government to en force the guarantees of the Constitution 1 Here, then, is Mr. Douglas' last definition of the right of the people of the Territories to govern themselves. Their right is a mere negation.

If they do not wish to have slavery, they cannot exclude it, for the Dred Scott decision is in the way but they may refrain from passing local police regulations for its protection That is all there is of Popular Sovereignty left by his own admis sion and even that can avail nothing, since the Dred Scott decision declares that the Con stitution guarantees the right of property in slaves in the Territories, and the federal government has the power and is compelled to enforce that guarantee. Said we not truiy, that the little dodzer is cornered and caught Fatal Accident on the Rock Island lsauroad-1 wo rersons Killed and Two Hounded. Yesterday evening, about about 6 o'clock, a gravel train cuuiiug nts iau iuiu wagon, which attempted to cross the track at Uougers. and instantly killed two persons in it, and wounded two others. The persons killed, were Mrs.

Ulrich Cassens. and a boy about fifteen years ol age. named Folkert Folkers. Ulrich Folkers, the father of the boy was badly wound ed, having an arm and a leg brosen. Ulncn Cassens, the husband of the woman killed, was sligntly cut on the bead.

Mr. tl. J. Aiarsn, tne efficient agent ot toe Rock Island Railroad, was promptly on hand, auu uiu every miujc in ms power to alleviate tne sufferings ot the injured persons. Drs.

The coroner's jury returned a verdict exonerating the employees of the road from all criminality or blame in the matter. Jolttt own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States." I have called his attention to the fact that when he and some others began arguing that they were giving an increased aegree ot liberty to the people in the lerritones over and above what they formerly had on the question of slavery, a question was raised whether the law was enacted to give such uncondi tional noerty to tne people, and to test the sincerity of this mode of argument. Mr.

Chase, of Ohio, introduced an amendment, in which he made the law if the amendment were adopted ixpressly declare that the people of the Ter ritory should have the power to exclude slavery if they saw tit. I have asked attention also to the fact that Judge Douglas and those who acted with him, voted that amendment down, notwithstanding it expressed exactly the thing they said was the true intent and meaning of the law. I have called attention to the fact that in subsequent times, a decision of the Supreme Court has been made in which it has been declared that a Territorial Legislature has no constitutional right to exclude slavery. And I nave argued and said that tor men who did intend ihat the people of the territory should have the light to exeiude slavery absolutely and unconditionally, the voting down of Chase's amendment is wholly inexplicable. It is a puzzle a riddle.

cut nave said that witu men who did look forward to such a decision, or who had it i contemplation, that such a decision of the Supreme Court would or might be made, the voting down of that amendment would be pertectly rational and intelligible. It would keep Congress from coming in collision with the decision when it was made. Anybody can conceive tbat if there was an intention or expectation that such a decision was to follow, it would not be a very desirable party attitude to get into for the Supreme Court all or nearly all its members belonging to the same party to decide one way, when the party in Congress had decided the other way. Hence it would be very rational for men expecting such a decision, to keep the niche in that law clear for it. After pointing this out, 1 tell Jndge Douglas that it looks to me as though here was the reason why Chase's amendment was voted down.

I tell him that as he did it, and knows why he did it, if it was done for a reason different from this, he knows what that reason teas, and can tell us what it was. I tell him, also, it will be vastly more satisfactory to the country, for him to give some other plausible, iu-telligible reason why it was voted down than to srana upon ms dignity and can people nars. Loud cheers. Well, on Saturday he did make his answer, and what do you think it was? He says if I had only taken upon myself to tell the whole truth about that amendmeut of Chase's no explanation would have been necessary on his part or words to that effect. Now, I say here, that I am quite nnconscious of having suppressed anything material to the case, and I am very frank to admit if there is any Bound reason other than tbat which appeared to me aterial, it is quite fair for him to present it.

What reason does he propose? That when Chase came forward with bis amendment expressly authorizing the people to exclude slavery from the limits of every Territory, Gen. Cass proposed to Chase, if he (Chase) would add to his amendment that the people should have the power to introduce or exclude, they would let it go. (This is substantially all of bis reply,) And because cbaee would not do that, they vo ted his amendment down. Well, it tnrns out. I believe, upon examination, tbat General Cass took some part in the little run ning debate upon that amendment, and then ran away and did not vote on it at all.

Laughter, la not tbat the fact? So confident, as I think, was Gen. Cass, that there was a snake somewhere about, he chose to run away from the whole thing. Ibis is an inference 1 a raw lrom the fact that though he took part in the debate, his name does not appear in the ayes and noes. But does Judge Douglas reply amount to a satisfactory answer? Cries of "yes," "yes," and no," no." There is some little cifi'er-ence ot opinion here. Laughter.

But I ask attention to a tew more views bearing on the question of whether it amounts to a satisfactory answer. The men, who were determined that that amendment should not get into the bill and spoil the place where the Dred Scott de cision was to come in, sought an excuse to get rid of it somewhere. One of these ways-one of these excuses -was to ask Chase to add to his proposed amendment a provision that the people might introduce slavery if they wanted to. Ihey very well knew Chase would do no such thing tbat Mr. Chase was one of the men differing from them on the broad principle of his insi-ting that freedom was better than slav ery a man who would not consent to enact a law, penned with bis own hand, by which he was made to recognize slavery on the one hand and liberty on the otber as precisely equal; and when they insisted on his doiog this.

they very well knew they insisted on tbat which he would not for a moment think of doing.and that they were only bluf- blulling him. I believe (I have not, since he made his answer, had a chance to examine the journals or Congressional Globe, and therefore speak iron: memory) believe tne state ot tne bill at that time, according to parliamentary rules, was such that no member could propose an additional amendment to chase amendment. I rather think this is the truth the udge shakes his bead. Very well. 1 would like to know, then, if thev wanted hone's amendment fjeed over, why somebod else could not have offered to do itf If they wanted it amended, why did tbey not offer the amendment Why did they stand there taunting and quibbling at Chase? Laughter.

Why did they not put it in themselves But to put it on the other ground; suppose that there was such an amend nent ottered, and I Chase'B was an amendment to an amendment; until one is disposed of by parliamentary law, you cacnot pile another on. Then all these gen tlemen had to do was to vote Chase on, ana then in the amended form in which the whole stood, add their own ameudmeet to it if they wanted it put in that sbape. this was all tney were obliged to do, and the ayes and noes show tbat there were 36 who voted it down, against 10 who voted in favor of it. The So held entire sway and control. They could in some form or other have pat that bill in the exact shape they wanted, it mere was a rnie preventing tueir amending it at the time, they could pass that, and then Chase's amendment being merged, put it in the shape they wanted.

They did not choose to do so, but they went into a quibble with Chase to get him to add what they kuew he would not add, and because he would not, they stand npon mat uimsy pretext for voting down what they argued was the meaning and intent of their own bill. They left room thereby for this Dred Scott decision, which goes very far to make slavery national throughout the United States. I pass one or two points I have because my time will very soon expire, but I must be al lowed to say that Judge Douglas recurs again, es he did upon oue or two other oc casions, the enormity oi jumcom an insig nificant maiviauai line lancoin upon his ipse dixit charging a conspiracy upon a large number ot members of Congress, the Supreme Court and two Presidents, to nationalize slavery. I want to say that, in the hrst place, I have made no charge of this sort npon my ipse dixit. I have only srra ed the evidence tending to prove it, and picsented it to the understanding ot oth-eis, saying what I think it proves, but giving you the means of judging whether it proves it or not.

On this occa sion, 1 wisn to recall ms aiieunuu iu a of evidence wnicu i urousut lorwaru at Ottawa on Saturday, showing that he had made substantially the tame charge against substantially the same persons, exciuamg his dear self from the category.
