Among the interrogatories that Judge Donglaa propounded to me at Freeport, there was one in about this language Are you opposed to the acquisition ot any further territory to the tTnit-" ed States, unless slavery ehall first be prohibited therein I I answered as I thoucht, in this wsy, that I am not generally opposed to the acquisition of additional territory, and that I would support a proposition for the acquisitinn of additional territory, according as my supporting it was or was not calculated to aggravate this slavery question amongst as. I then proposed to Judge Douglas another interrogatory, which Wis correlative to that "Are you in lavor of acquiring additional territory in disregard of how it may affect ns up- Ttcu in separate acta, were nevertheless in in the direction Mr.

He has used hard names has dared to tal about fraud and about forgery, and has insinuated that thve was conspiracy between Mr. lanphier, Mr. Harris auu to perpetrate a lorgery. Niw bear in mind that lie did not deny but what those resolutions were adopted by a majority of all the Republican party in tue First Congressional District, In the second, in tb third and in many counties in tbe north, and this became the platform of the party in a majority ot the counties unon which he notr relies for sap port.

He didn't deny the truthfulness of the resolutions, but he teVea exception to the spot where thev were adopted. Laughter. He makes great merit that they were hot adopted on tn right spot, as he thought the Mexican war was unjust because it was not begun on the right spot. He tries to make out that there was something very extraordinary simply on account of the place where the thing was done, and not of the thing itself. Now, IneVer believed before, that Abraham Lineoln would have been guilty ot what be has done this day tn regard to those resolutions.

Applause. In the first place, the moment It was intimated to me that the resolutions were adopteJ at Ploomipgton and then at Aurora the east.

The Legislative Department has labored this end by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, opening all our Territory north of 36 deg. 30 min. to the incursion of slavery, by sanctioning the lawless outrages perpetuated by Southern ruffians npon the Free State settlers of Kansas, by denying the latter all redress for their many grievances, and finally, by offering to admit Kansas into the Union as a State with 40,000 population, provided, she would come iu with a slave constitution, or compelling her otherwise to remain under her Territorial organization until she shall have a population of 2. The Judiciary has sought to accomplish At this point the rear end of the procession had ever said so, nntii the necessities of tbe present policy of the Democratic party in regard to slavery, had to invent that aKimiation. Tremendous applause.

And I will remind Judge Douglas and this audience, that while Mr. Jefferson waa tbe owner ot slaves, as undoubtedly he was, in speaking npon thia very subject, he used the strong language that "he tremblod for his country when he remembered that God was just(" and I will offer the highest premium in Iny power to Jndge Douglaa if he will show that he, in all his life, ever uttered a sentiment at all akin to that of Jefferson, Great applause and cries of "Hit him again," "good, The next thing to which 1 will ask your attention is tbe Judge's comments upon the fact, as he assumes it to be, that we canoot call our public meeliugs as Republican meetings and be instances Tazewell county aa one of the places where the friends of Lincoln have called a nublio meeting Kill Cries 01 yes, yes." 1 repeat, mat i op Douglas, a year afterwards, or more than a year afterwards, perhaps, when he first introduced bills for the purpose of framing new Territories, did not attempt to follow these bills of New Now 1 ask yon, my friends, why can't public men men avow their principles alike every tor of that paper.

Applause.

Here Judge kouglaa turned round to Mr. Lincoln and red. white and blue." On one aide wag the MIUVUI him, whir i aort Qf W4y answered. Tbe third one of theae interrogatoriea I have with me and wish now to make aame comments upon it It was In these vfcrds: "if tbe Supreme Court of the United States shall decide that the States cannot exclude slavery from their limits, are yon in favor of acquiescing in, and following auch decision, as a rule of political action To this interrogatory udge Douglas made no answer in any just sens of the word. He contented himself with sneering at the thought that it waa possible for the Supreme Court ever to make such a decision.

He sneered at me for propounding the interrogatory. 1 had not propounded it without some reflection, and I wish by slavery is made the common law, and its question of slavery where tbe territory was acquired, to be settled by the people of the acquired territory. That's the doctrine.r May be it is let us consider that for a while. This will probably, in. the run of things, become one of the concrete manifestations ot this slavery question.

The Judge tells, In proceeding, that he is opposed to slaking any odious distinctions between Free and Slave States. I am altogether unaware that the Republicans are in lavor of making any odious distinctions between the Free and Slava States. But there etill is a dtTerence, 1 think, between Judge Douglas and the Republicans in this. I suppose that the real difference between Judge Douglas and his friends, and the Republicans on the contrary, is that the Judge is not in favor of making any difference between Slavery and Liberty that he is in favor of eradicating, ef pressing out of view, the questions of preference iu this country for Free over Slave institutions and consequently every sentiment he utters discards the idea that there is aay wrong in Slavery. Everything that emanates irom him or his coadjutors in their course of policy, care'- excludes 1 ll thmifrlil that 1 inscription "protection guaranteed in all the Territories I tell you ttat in my opinion this Chicago doctrine ot Mr.

Lincoln's declaring that negroes and white men were included alike in the Declaration ot Independence, made equal by Divine Providence, is a monstrous, heresy. The signers of the Declaration of Independbace never dreamed of the negro when they were writing that document. They referred to white men, men of European birth and European descent, when they declared the equality of til men. I see a gentleman here shaking his head. Let me remind him that when Thomas Jefferson wrote that Declaration he was the owner, and continued to the end of his life the owner of a large number of slaves.

Did he intend to aay that his negro slaves were created his equals by Divine law, and that he was violating the law of God every time of his life by holding them as slaves? Bear in mind that when tbat Declaration was put forth every one of the thirteen Colonies were slaveholding Colonies, and every man who signed the Declaration of Independence represented a slaveholding constituency. Bear in mind that no- one of them emancipated his slaves, mnch less put them on an equality with himself when he signed the of the United States iu uVQauce of the will of mc ifi-ieuus nuum toe tfuu.ue assumes to uc of Lincoln, calliug them the "Free Democracy."

Cheers and laughter. (Turning to Judge Douglas.) What do you think of this? Immense applause and roars of laughter.) So again, there another thing to which I wonld ask the Judge's attention npon this subject. In the contest of 1856 his party delighted to call themselves together as the "National Democracy," but now, if there should bela notice out np anywhere for aimeeting of the "National Democracy," Judge Douglas ami his friends would not come.

And these resolutions quoted by nams in debate in Congress as having been adopted by tbe first Republican State Contention in Illinois, I wrote to Major Harris asking him for the authority aa to place and time of their adoption. people. And yet I submit the question to you whether if it had not been for me, that Constitution could not have been crammed down the throats of that people against their consent. "That's so," and applause.

While you would all, at least ninety-uiue out of every hundred of the people here present, would agree that I was right in defeating that project, yet you can use the fact that I did defeat it by doing right, as a means of trying to break me down, and put another man in my place in the Senate of the United States. Applause.J The very men that acknowledges that I was right iu defeating the Le-compion Constitution now form an alliance with the postmasters, with the federal officers, with the professed Lecompton men to defeat me because I did right. My political opponents have no hope on earth. Mr. Lincoln would never dream tbat he had a chance of success but for the aid he is receiving from the federal officers, that is exerted against me in revenge for my having defeated the Leeompton Consiitution.

Now let me ask you what do you think of a political orgoniaation which will try to make an unholy and unnatural combination to beat a man merely because he was now to address to this audience some remarks nation sustaining both the action of Congress and of the Supreme Court in the premises, upon it. ci.7-- "ere is anytning wrong in all li ..1 ot-'ti imuTil if will in tbe second clause of the sixth article, I be On the other was the whole of the Declaration filling Kansas with officials and troops to force lull question is to oe ielt to tue jkuuib ui iuuoo countries for settlement.

Tbat is perfectly logical, if tbe two species of property are alike and are further than they, the President and ths Senate can be considered the representatives of the the college grounds the platform having been right. My mends, Know that political parties are prone to avail themselves of all the means in their power to carry the election When they think they have got a chance, and the Republican parly, if this one chance was taken from then, they won hi never have another, and their ngent of the Slavery Oligarchy in bringing breaking the constitution durable as tne Constitution, and part of the Constitution. Now, iorever, anu was lntenuea to ne administered in all time to come by White men.

"That's so." But while I hold that under our Constitution and political system the negro is not a citizen eannot be a citizen ought not to be a citizen-yet it don't follow by any meana that he should equally founded in right. But if yon admit that about the three fold effort of the coordinate erected on the east side of the fine college building. The crowd was unprecedented.

Hurrah for Lincoln But the Judge will have it that if we do not confess that there is sort of inequality between the people.

lt me illustrate tbat by a ease we nave in our history. When we acquired the territory from Mexico the Mexican war, the remembering the provision of tbe Constitution which 1 hare read, affirming that that instru branches of the Federal Government to per ber on the ground during the afternoon must ment is the supreme law of the land; that the Judgea of every State ahall be bound by it, any petuate its dominion.

Now let me exk yon whether or sot this country has any interest in sustaining this organization known as the Republican party That Re one ot them is wrong, yon cannot institute any equality between right and wrong. And from this difference of sentiment the belief on the part of one that the institution is wrong, and a policy springing from that belief which looks to tbe arrest of tbe enlargement of that wrong; and thia other sentiment, that it is no wrong, struck down the Missouri Compromise, lie white and black races, whicb justifies us in making them slaves, we must, then, insist that there is a degree of equality that requires us to law or constitution oi any state to me contrary notwithstsnding that the right of property in time insisted that the territory thus to be acquired should be brought in upon condition that every privilege, every immuuiiT wnicu ne can safely exercise consistent with the good of society where he lives.

Again you ask me what is the nature and extent of these rights and privileges. My answer to that question is this: It is a it follows, and i aubmit to the consideration of things, arises tbe real diuerence between any territory thna acquired ahould have that prohibition in it, ao far aa tbe House of Repre men capable of arguing, whether as I state it udge Douglas snd his friends, on the one hand. sentatives waa concerned. Hut at last the syllogistic form the argument has any fault in it the Constitution of Kansas to be submitted to a vote of the people. He was the first leading man in the North to indorse theDred Scott decision.

The weather continued r-oM and raw all day, but very few left the grounds until the speaking was concluded at half past five. Mr. Douglas said; Lambs and Gbhtlbh sit Four years ago I appeared before the people of Knox county for the purpose of defending my political action upon the Compromise measurea of 1S50, and the passage of the Kansas Nebraska Dill in 1851. Those of yon who are now present will bear in mind that 1 placed my defence on the support of these two measures Upon the fact that both rested upon a great fundamental principle, that the people ef each State, each Territory have the right, and should be permitted to exercise thj right, of regulating their own domestic affairs in their own way, subject to no other limitation than that which the Constitution of the United States imposes upon them.

I then called upon the people ot Illinois to decide whether President and Senate acquired the territory case, and now is, with the Democratic party. Whigs and Democrats could proclaim their principles boldly and fearlessly in the North and in Nothing in the Constitution or lawa of any without asking the House of Representatives State can destroy a right distinctly and express question which the people of each State mnst decide for themselves, liiinois has decided that question for herself. We have said th.il in this State the negro shall not be a slave, nor shall ho anything about it, and took it witbout that prohibition. Thev bave the power of acquiring the South, in the bast and in the est, wherever tbe American Constitution ruled, or tbe ly alhrmed the Constitution of the United and the Republicans on tbe other. Now.

1 confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil, having due regard for its actual existence amongst us and the difficulties of getting rid of it in any satisfactory way, and to ail the constitutional obligations which hsve been thrown about it; but, nevertheless, desire a policy that looks to tbe preven of the Slavery Oligarchy, lor nomination to States. territory without the immediate representatives of the people being called upon to aay anything The right of property in a alave is distinctly be a citizen.

People of Illinois! if you there is in these dinerent speeches which he arrays here, and the entire reading of either of the speeches will show that that distinction was made. Perhaps by taking two parts of tbe same speech, he could have got up as much of a conflict as the one be baa found. I have all tbe while maintained, that in so far as it should be insisted that there was an equality between tbe white and black races tbat should produce a perfect social and political equality, it was sn impossibility. This you have seen in my print-el speeches, snd with it I have said, that in their right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," as proclaimed in that old Declaration, the inferior races are our equals. Long-continued cheering.

And these declarations 1 have constantly made in reference to the abstract moral question, to contemplate and consider when we are legislating about any new country which is not already cursed with tbe actual presence of the evil slavery. 1 have never manifested any impatience with the necessities that spring from the actual presence of black people amongst ns, and tbe actual exist-ence of slavery amongst us where it does already exist but I have insisted that, in legislating for new countries, where it does not ex Therefore, nothing in the Constitution or laws of any State can destroy the right of property in a slave. 1 believe that no fault can be pointed out in tion ot it as a wrong, and looks hopefully to tbe time when ss a wrong it may come to an end.

It ia, therefore, aa I think, a very important question for tbe eonaideration of the American people, whether the policy of bringing that principle was right or wrong. If that great cisely alike in regard to the relat ion of the white mau with the negro. Von cannot reconcile them and make them alike. Kuril must do as it pleases.

Illinois has as much rixht to adopt the polii'y we have on this subject as Kentucky has to a dillereut policy. The great principle of this government Ofcief Executive of the Nat ion, and the Feder that argument; assuming the truth of tbe premises, the cooclnsi so far as I hsve capacity at ail to understand it, follows inevitably.

The Kansas Nebraska Bill declared in so many worda that it was the true intent in the hands of the Slavery Oligarchy, vote tor Representatives to the Legislature who reiterated his charge of a conspiracy or combination between the National Democrata and Republicans. Wbat evidence Judge Douglaa has upon this subject I know not, inasmuch aa he never favora us with any.

Laughter and cheers. 1 have aaid upon a former occasion, and I do not choose to suppress it now. tbat I element in our nations! polities, shall be adopt- is that each Slate lias a right to do us it pleases on all these questions, ami that no oilier power on earth has a right to interfere with ns or eim- American flag waved over American soiL But now you have a sectional organization, a body appealing to the Northern section against tbe Southern section, a party appealing to Northern hopes.

And hence you find that the Republican leaders now make speeches advocating principles and measures which cannot be advocated in any slaveholding State in this Union.

These resolutions were the platform of the Republican party tbat year.

Tbey were adopted in tbe majority of all the Republican counties in the State, and it was those resolutions tbat 1 asked him to answer at Ottawa, and be won't answer. At Ottawa he himself believed that those resolutions were adopted at Springfield. He did not deny it, but aaid he wan there when they were adopted, bnt waa attending Tazewell Court. He thought he bad seen tuem fublisbed as having been adopted there just aa did. He knew that if there waa a mistake I had nothing nnder heaven to do with that mistake.

Bnt yet yoa find in all these northern counties candidates running pledged to bim tor the Senate, yet adopting that political platform. One cardinal point in that platform which be shrinks from is that there abonld be no more Slave States admitted into thia Union even if the people wanted them. Lovejoy standi pledged against sny more Slave States. A Voice So do Judge Douglas So do yoa say Farnsworth too stands pledged against more Slave States, Washburne stands pledged against any more Slave States being received npon any condition. The candidate for the Legislature, who ia running on Lincoln's ticket in Heudeteon snd Warren Counties, atands pledged for the same ttnng.

and 1 am informed, though I do not know the fact certainly, tbat your candidate atands pledged to the same thing. A Voice Good tor bim. Judge Doi'Olas Now yoa Republicans all hallow "hurrah for him, and yet Mr. Lincoln tells you thst hia conscience won't enable him to sustain that doctrine. Mr.

Lincoln's complaint is that these resolutions which I bsre read, make him, aa a member of tbe party, responsible for and aaactionmg the doctrine of no more Slave States, while he went be committed to it. Now yoa are one way, as you confess, and he pretends that he ia tbe other, and yet yoa are both governed by principle, and yoa are governed by principle, I suppose, ia your vote. Now if it be true that in all thia north half of the State, the Republican party stands committed to the docttine of no more Slave States, while that doctrine is repudiated by ths Republicans in the other half of the State, 1 wonder if Mr. Lincoln and his party haa not presented tbe case tbat he has cited in tbe Scripture, that a boose divided against itself cannot stand. Applause.

1 desire to hnd out wbat hia principlea are on tbat point. 1 want to know the principles of his party.

Cheers.

He got it op himself. It was all his and their work. He had, 1 think, a great deal more to do with tbe steps that led to the Lecompton Constitution than Mr. Buchanan had I applausel though at last, when they ist, there is no just rule other than that of clear and certain way ot determining or demon where tbe right ot property in a slave is distinctly and expressly sttirmen.

But Mr. ror the last tour years 1 have devoted all my cessities of tbe country.

Bnt it is true with Judge Douglas.

It is true with the Supreme Court who pronounced it. They are estopped from denying it, and being estopped trom denying it, the trienda divided npon it. Applause. i am very free to confess to Judje Dcnglas that I Head in the Same Basket. Another of Mr.

Douglas' friends has ielt the keen edge of the Executive axe. The head of L. M. Webber, P. M.

at Rock Island, is in the basket, and the blood is spouting from his severed carotids as he walks about, a pitiable spectacle to men. Ilia successor to the emoluments of office, is Herman Field, an insurance agent, sod lately a mail agent on the Chicago and Rock Island road. We are all time in private and in public to commend that principle to the whole American people. Whatever else may be said in condemnation or support of my political course, 1 apprenend tbat no honest manwill doubt the fidelity with which under all circumstances, I have stood by that stantly referred to. There is no misunderstanding this, except try men interested to misunderstand it.

Lincoln cannot be made to understand, and those who are determined to vote for him, no matter wliich side, whether in the North or Sonih, whether for negro equality at one end of the State or against it at another you cannot make one of them understand how it is that in a Territory the people can do as they please on the have no objection to the division, lond ap conclusion follows that tbe Constitution I Applause. I 1 lake it that 1 nave to address an out fillibustering, then, thinks that more territory ia needed. Whoever wanta wider alave fields, feels sure that some additional territory ia needed aa slave territory. Then it ia as easy to show the necessity of additional alave territory as it is to assert anything that ia incapable of absolute demonstration. Whatever motive a a man or a set of men may have for making annexation of property or territory, it is very easy to asaert, but much less easy to disprove, that it intelligent and reading commuuity, who will pe- ot tbe United states being ths supreme And we find that this Republican party is una law, no constitution or law can in plause and laughter but I dety the Judge to show auy evidence that I have in any way promoted that division, unless be insists on being a witness himself in merely saying so.

1 can give ail fair friends of Judge Doug terfere with it. It being affirmed in the decision tbat the right of propertv in a slave is dis slavery question under the Dred Scott decision. Let ns see if 1 cannot make all impart. al men see how that is. Chief Justice Taney has said in his opinion in the Dred Scott case, that the neirro ulave principle.

During tbe last year a question arose ia the Congress of the United Slates whether or not that principle was not being violated by the admission of Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton Constitution. In my opinion, the attempt to force Kansas into the Union un las here to understand exactly the view that tinctly and expressly atlirmed in the Constitution, tbe conclusion inevitably follows that no rnse wuat say, weign it, ana men judge Whether I advance improjier or unsound views, or whether 1 advance hypocritical, and deceptive, aud con-trarv views in diiferent portions of the country. I believe myself to be guilty of no such thing as the latter, though', of course, 1 cannot claim tliat 1 am entirely free from all error in the opinions 1 4ilvan.ee. The Judge has also detained ns a while in re republicans take in regard to that division. Don't von remember how two years ago the op is necessary lor the wants 01 tne country.

And now it only remains for me to say that ble to proclaim its principles alike in the North and in the South, in the free States and in the slave States, but they cannot proclaim them in the same sense, and give them the same meaning in alt parts ot the same State. Aty friend Lincoln, here, finds it extremely ditiicntt to manage a debate in the central part of this State, where there is a mixture of men from the North and the South, la the extreme North he can advocate as bold and radical Abolitionism as oeiug property, stands on an equal looting with other property Jind that the ownermay carrv them State law or constitution can destroy that right. 1 then say to Judge Dongias and to all others. think it is a very grave question for the people ponents of the Democratic party were divided to a nited States Territory the same as be does der that Constitution was a gross violation of the principle enunciated in the Compromise measures of 1850, and the Kansas Nebraska between fremont and ralmore?

Editors Press and Tribune I see the Tuntf correspondent at this place claims 600 majority in this county for Fred. Strockey, the Know-Nothing Douglas candidate for Senator in this Senatorial district. This bragging oa majorities in this county by the Douglasitea has its significance. It is to pre. pare the public miad for the stupendous frauds they contemplate on the ballot-box.

At Dun-leith, immediately across the river from Dubuque, the leaders have been impudent enough to their infamous purposes, by resolving to give 800 majority for the Democratic ticket. This is a fair notice to the world that they intend to poll at least 200 fraudulent votes. Two years ago 1S56 -there were only 254 votea polled in the town, and Fremont got 91 of them. Since that time the vote of the town has notoriously decreased very much, and to give now 800 majority would require at least two BUKPRio illegal and fraudulent votes. Wa thank the Dunleilh conspirators against the purity of the ballot-box for their timely notice.

Forewarned is forearmed." Full and ample provision is being made to protect the polls at that place from pollution, and and the parties to the proposed fraud, Strockey, indeed, will be duly notified of the consequences that will result from any attempt to play the "Kansas game." It is said reliance is had upon Charles Bogy to carry out this fraud. Mr. Bogy is the proprietor of the Dunlcith and Dubuque ferry, and a Doaglaa man, and be is the last man to enter into those schemes. He fully understands that the Illinois Legislature did not grant him his valuable terry privilege in order to bring over illegal voters from Dubuque, and that if it were used in that way it might give rise to investigation next winter. I will only add that if any of your Douglas men want to make investments in Strockey's election, they can be accommodated to any amount.

There is another thing to which I wish to ask tney snouia turn it aooat ana consider tne importance of the question, snd arrive at a just conclusion as to whether it is or ia not wise in the people of this Union, in tbe acquisition of new territory, to consider whether it will add to the disturbance that ia existing smongst us whether it will add to the one only danger that has ever threatened the perpetuity of the Union or our own liberties. I think it ia extremely important tbat they ahall decide, and rightly decide that question before entering upon that policy. And now, my friends, having said the little I wish to say upon thia head, whether I have occupied the whole of the remnant ot my time or not, I believe 1 could not enter upon any new topic so aa to treat it fully without transcending my time, which I would not for a moment think of doing. I give way to Judge Douglaa. Three tremendous cheers for Lincoln from the Congress, and there you hnd this who.e doctrine argued out at full length which I have now advanced.

Applause. 1 He then lutions as Judge Docglaa read.

That is the idea which prevails which he acts, speak oat their principlea, so thst they would not be misunderstood, and not claim to be one way in; one part of the State, and another in a different part of the State Whenever I advance these Abolition doctrines, which he complains of as being slanderous when applid to him whenever I advance them np here, yoa halloo out "That'a right," not knowing that your candidate ia the other way. Now I have a few worda to say on the Dred Scott ease, which baa troubled the brains of Lincoln ao much. He goes on and insists tbat the Dred Scott decision would carry slavery into the free States, notwithstanding the deci-cion itself saya the contrary.

He made an argument to make me believe that I waa in favor of and would sanction the doctrine thst aiavea could be brought here to Illinois aa slaves, contrary to oar State Constitution and laws. Now Mr. Lincoln knew the facta about that. He knew that bnt one newspaper in America, and so far aa I know but one, ever asserted the doctrine, and that I was the first man in either Houses of Congress that read the article in a speech in the Senate, denouncing it on tbe spot aa revolutionary. When the Washington L'nwn on the IT tb of November, published aa article to that effect I branded it, and hence the Union haa been pursuing me ever since.

Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, replied to me by saying that there wan't a man south of the Potomac River in ail the Slave States that held any auch doctrine. Mr. Lincoln knowa that there ia no member of the Supreme Court that holda that doctrine. He knowa that every one of them in tbeir opinions held tbe reverse.

Why then thia attempt to bring the Supreme Court into disrepute among tbe people It looks as if there was an effort to destroy public confidence in tbe highest judicial tribunal on earth. Suppose a man succeeded in destroying public confidence ia the Court, so that the people wonld not respect its decisions, so that men will feel at liberty to disregard and resist tbe laws of tbe bind, what will he have gained? will have changed thia Government from one of lawa to that of a mob, in which tbe strong ami of power and violence will be substituted tor the decisions of tbe courts of justice. Pretty good." He complains that 1 don't go into tha argument and review Justice Taney'a opinions, and the other opinions of the different Judges, to determine whether their reasoning ia right or wrong on the question of law. Wbat use would that be He wants to take an appeal from tbs decision of the Supreme Court to the meeting to decide whether a Question of law waa rightly settled He is going to appeal from tbe Supreme Court to every town meeting, in the hope of exciting prejudice against tbe Supreme Coon, and on the wave of that prejudice, ride into the Senate of the United Slates, when he couldn't get there upon his own p'inciplesor his own merits. Suppose be should succeed in getting into the Senate, what then Will be have to do with tbe decision of the Supreme Court in the Died Scott case Can he reverse tbe decision when be gets there Can be act upon it Has the Senate any i ight to reverse or revise it He will not pretend that.

Then why drag it into this canvass, unless it is to make a false issue, upon which he can divert pnblie pinion from tbe real issue. He then cites Gen. Jackson for bis justitieatioa, in making war upon tbe decision of the Supreme Court. Mr. Lincoln mw-nnderstands the history of tbe country, if be be-Ueves there is any paraUcL ItistraetlieStiprroa cU wj ikiuK uu me union until they had nearly three times that number.

I then said in my place in the Senate what I now say to yon whenever Kansas has nnnnl.tin anything in it that is wrong. Cheera I ask you all to recollect that. Judge Douglas turns away from the platform of principles to the fact that he can find people somewhere who will not allow us to announce those principles. Applause. If he bad great confidence that our principles were wrong, be would take hold of them and demonstrate them to be wrong.

But he does not do so. The only evidence he baa of their being wrong is in the fact that there in "This Diugiss." tbe resolutions ot an Anti-Nebraska Convention, States cannot permanently endure, that they must be all free or all slave, all tbe one thing or all the other," what do you think would have been the result? (I don't pretend to quote bis the same speech, Mr. Lincoln says, in talking to the Chicago Abolitionists: "1 leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer be a doubt that all men are created free and equal."

Tbe principal point of complaint 1 make of htm ia, that he makes one speech North and another South one set of sentiments in the Abolition counties, and another aet in those counties opposed to Abolitionism.
