In the speech which Douglas made from the steps OF

papers which are struggling to keep their feet in the
North under the pressure of the Nebraska infamy it

right to establish exclude Slavery as they choose

hsehood and hollowness of this pretense be every

FREE DISCUSSION is vital TO the existence OF this
republic This discussion is entitled to range as
wide as thought and all subjects scientific and practl-
esl tangible and spiritual alike come under its do
rsin This discussion to be free must not be confined
to DAYS or places Liberty knows no particular day
il the week. and no special place. For purposes OF
convenience, simply, it is agreed that when the dis
eusson is in the open air and in large city the high
wsy should not be blocked up, and here the police
have very simple duty to perform. When how
ever there is no such impedmen the discussion may
a. properly take place in the open air as under cover
Il fact there are not reasons wanting for open air
preaching but these need hardly recite, as 1t does
not touch the question in hand.
We do not stop to inquire what were the religious
sentiments Of the preacher and his auditory who were
assaulted by mob in Brooklyn Sunday Sufficient
70 say they had right to do they did-the one to
dec'am in the open air and the Others to listen To
attack them in any way was illegal low and brutal.
Il is worthy of all execration and rigd punishment.
The liberty of speech must be preserved at all haz-
ards Ii foreigners DO not understand its value,
Americans must and they must insist on it, come what
may When they lose the right to speak fearlessy
On religions and creeds and representatives of re.

but one step further that the lnqusiton The stapd
then must be taken that preaching or discussion IN

III inaienable right of citizens and is not to be
surrendered to any threats menaces, or acts of vo-

1t is argument to say that this or that class OF citi-
