~ tr..ed aside by Mr.. Douglas who makes the com

n doing it. He says that:

tincton In the struggle of 1850, the great north
ern anti-slaYery sentiment inundated and over
yhelmed in consequence of the succumblng temper
and faithfuness of rotten leaders. With their own
hands they destroyed the dykes and let the waters
flow in and wash away the rich fruits OF years. Inc
Thry-frst Congress inaugurated the era of subms-
sion to slavery. Since then everything has gone on
swimmngly in this line. Not only was the slavery
question compromised, but the character reputation,
and principles of hundreds of our public men were
also compromised by the same operation. There
was a general debauch and Generalization through
out all poice circles, as clearly manifested IN
the triumphant run of Gen. Pierce. The demorail-
zaton continues 1t is not to be expected therefore,
that we shall see for the present. in the acts OF pub
lie men who place before principle, anything
but unmanly submission to the demands of the slave
power If Gen. Taylor had lived, and if the Wilmot-
proviso doctrine had substantially triur1phed as it
would have done through the instrumcntality of his
policy relative to our Mexcln acquisitions, thenw
should have seen the reverse of what we now see.
Instead of finding Mr.. Douglas down on his marrow
bones at the feet of slavery we should see the
standing up firm and strong in behalf of the
glorious old ordinance of 1887. Freedoms battle
was fought and lost in 1850, and the towards and
traitors have all run to the winning side"
The New York Tribune, an active and decided
Scott paper, speaks of Judge Douglas as having
humbed himself at the feet of slavery "-as hav-
ing started movement calculated to abrogate the
Missouri line and make Nebraska slave State; and
the Raleigh Register another Scott paper printed in
saveholdng State, conceals the fact that Judge D.
is at all connected with such movement and ex-
presses qualification at the prospect of the extern
sion of slavery to the Territory in question We
call attention to another fact The Tribune distinctly
declares that if Cen Taylor had been elected, and
if the Wilmotprovso doctrine had substantially tri-
umphed as it would have done through the instru-
mentality OF his policy relative to our Mexican ac-
qustions, then we should have seen the reverse of
what now see ="
