Such is glance at some of the points in
Senator Atchison's speech.
1t appears from the above that Dough- as
was the mere catspaw of Atchison, and that
he agreed to fulfill his demands after twenty
fours hours consideration 1t will be seen
that not one word is expressed in regard to
"squatter sovereignty as an object to be
accomplished by the repeal. That was a
mere after-thought. 1t also shows that the
idea that the Missouri restriction was in
conflict with the compromise measure Of
1850, which has been advanced by Douglas
and his followers, was not thought of
at the time, and that therefore it was
an fterthought like the other, The object
to be attained by Mr.. Atchison, and which
he has the manliness to affirm, was to per-
nit the spread of slavery into the new
territory. This is not new with Mr.. Atchi-
son he has affirmed it time and again and
it was we'll known to Mr.. Douglas, and was
doubtless urged by Mr.. Atchison during the
interview which he had with Mr.. Douglas
in Washington. And Douglas, after think
ing the subject over for twentyfour hours,
agreed to it. He agreed to betray his con-
stituents in much less time than Arnold did
to betray his country.
Again, Mr.. AtChison is in fact the Vice
President of the United States. He presides
over the deliberations of the Senate, and yet
he says in the above speech &c that he is
ENTIRELY deUoted to the interests of the
South mot to the interests of the whole
country, but to particular portion of it
How far short Of the true patriot does he fall
when he thus speaks, and how unfit to leg
islate for the people of the Union! Nor are
his manners any better than his patriotism
He vulgarly calls two of the most distin-
guished Senators, members of the body over
which he presides, "poor miserable deUils.'
We mistake much the spirit of John Bell
and Gen. Houston, if they don't demand an
explanation of this language when Congress
meets, and if it is not denied by Mr.. Atchi-
son, the Senate should no longer permit him
to preside over their deliberations.-[C Gin
