HON. F. w. GREEN.
For some months past the abolition agators of the
country have well-ngh deaened the public by their
hdeous yes upon the slavery question 1t has been the
aim of the democratic party the true conservatos Of the
constitution and the rights Of the people of the States for
years past to quiet those disturbers of the public
peace by such series of legislative measures as would
fecualy and forever from the national councils
the dsractng questions OF the restriction extension
slavery Among the first and most important Of these
the compromise measures of 1850 1t is yet in the recol-
lection of readers that the abolition camor
heard throughout the country upon the adoption Of those
measures, that with which the aboonists now assail
the But few years Of experience however as pre-
diced by the friends of the compromise measures have
clearly demonstrated the wisdom and sagacty displayed
in their adoption To which might be added as further
attestaon the general acquiescence Of the country that
they remain unaered the laws of the land. But time
and circumstances have also developed the necessity
some further which should bring the country
lasting and final peace upon the question Of slavery Judge
Douglas with that bodness which has distinguished
him. with that sagacity which to comprehend
whole future has when his Nebraska bill shall hare be-
come o accomplished this great end and REMOVED FOR
EVER from the national legislature the agitation and discus
sion OF the question of slavery When that bill shall have
passed. abotonsm must look field of labor other
than Congress to find aid and comfort" The exclusion
OF abolition discussion in Congress will give to the people
guarantee that our country is no longer to be dsgaced
by the hows OF dsunioniss agators, and abotonists
in the high places of the nation sacrifice of its
prosperity, and permanent welfare.
In this crisis when the abolition phrenzy had apparently
the country and alarm seemed to have seized the
best and purest of men, source of pride and qrat-
cation that the representative Of this district Hon F. W.
reen found no terrors in the abolition eervescence of the
day but firmly and nobly rallied the support of Judge
Douglas and gives the Nebraska bill his earnest support
TO those who have known his sentiments upon this
uon-hs rm reliance upon the wisdom intelligence and
ultimate Judgment OF the people, whether in States or Ter
rtores IN all matters concerning their government and
weiarehis strong personal and political attachment 10
Judge Dougashis is but fulfment of their expcca-
TONS but IN these piping times" when good men fail bold
men become mid the courageous when
the hrmest OF the firm and abolition manifestoes are more
appalling than even lifelong service in the democratic
ranks can II seems resist is but justice faithful pub
lac who dares stand by the administration
OF his political friends TO the best and ahles men of MS
party and, above ALL to the great and enrolling principle
Of sefgoyernment for the people-that public
men DC made OF the general approval Of so bold
manly ana nnequiyocal IL cannot fail to be cause Of
congratnauon among the democracy of this district that
our representative in these trying times proved himself
worthy OF MS gallant constituency Upon this question
upon every other believe he has faithfully reflected The
WIZ oil his constituents and in the past we have an ample
guarantee that in the future he will pursue course alike
