Tbs Chicago Dem. Press ofthe Ssh
lust, speaking Of Douglass "~hipp'ns
in srcch, remarks as follows
.ros weeks before Judge Douglas' arrival
here Il was given out, that whsn b did come
sscse democrats who opposed the repeal OF me
M,ssoar, Compromise wcnld crouch to his feet
ike whipped eurs--that he would whip them
al ,n,c the traces again-that in word ne
would ride triumphant over the popular sent-
men, Of the city and ountry, end that no one
would dare thereafter to question the corFsce-
ness Of any measure which Judge Douglas had
ever advocated or might here after advocate.
saeh were the spirit and Substance Of the re-
marks daily made on the street corners, in the
hotels, saloons. and public pleaces generally
of the city. They were persisted in until the
meeting had assembled to bear Judge Douglas
Ara with such an air and tone OF defiance Us
could no, fail 10 excite corr responding spirit
in those 10 whom they we're addressed. Du-
ring Friday somewhat distinguished politician
form abroad had the imprudencs to remark in
, pablo place, that unless Mr.. Douglas had
fair hearing measures would be instituted to
bring forces into the city that would compel It.
And another person, citizen OF Chicago, said
during the day in an equally public manner,
shat Dag' should be heard-ihat one thous-
and ak shooter would be on the ground for that
purpose We might add mary other like re-
marks openly and boldly uttered with the de-
sign OF oyerawing those who differ with Mr..
Douglas on the measure upon which he had
.,sked his political fortunes, but let these SUI
sce AZ ,hey are sufficient TO indicate the spirit
manifested BY those claiming TO ACT in the mat
Ter as his special friends"
"Then again, Mr. Douglas seemed on this oc-
ca.son 10 have lost siga, Of a very important
and essential feature Of our republican govern
nent. Ii is generally understood by citizens Of
the United States that the people are the sove'
re,rn,-,ha, those whom they place in Office
are tseir ssrraats, delegated 10 carry INTO effect
..sar wishes. and under obligations to account
to asm for The manner IN which the trust 10 ex-
ecuted. Mr.. Douglas came before his consti.
.ueots-.,hose who had made him--who had en-
rus.ed 10 hun the execution OF certain duties,
ather IS a master than servant. The sprt!
of dicia or dashed out from bis eye, curled
upon bis lip, and mingled its cold irony in every
tone Of his voice and every gesture of his body.
His manner as well as his language furnished
: practical illustration Of the possibility OF 70
veysiag the natural order of master and servant
Of representative and constituent, in free gov
eminent. The Car of all the Rassias could
not have exhibited more domineering and in
tolerant spirit than he. What wonder them
taking iato consideration the injudicious and
insulting cenbuc; Of his particular friends, hi,
own oreEhearing course and offensive charge
Of ignorance, that disturbance followed?
:. Ia i. acaisr f.os ass1e,ssa y fsos so the hear
