The Eastern Illinosan says of recent speech of this
able and orthodox democrat:

lent speech defence Of the principles of the

Among the resolutions adopted we find as follows.
Re.ovsd That our distinguished stephen A..
Douglas representative james c. Allen have taken
the true democratic ground in their advocacy of the repeal
of the Missouri restriction and deserve fully confidence
and esteem.
esoped That we will resist all attempts at repeal Of
the Nebraska and Kansas territorial measure"
The same paper speaking of the great wing and abol-
ton mass meeting, says:
