WAsHIsGToS, Monday. Jan 30, 1854
Slavery discussion and agitation commenced to day in
the Senate Of the United States Mr. Douglas made very
successful effort in opening sesh those wounds for which
The COMPROMISE measures Of 1850 were declared 10 be
remedial fDeliy The teeraphc report Of his speech,
which you will receive convey but imperfs idea
Of the erocous and exaeraed feelings and temper Of the
Little Gian-to hear and his defiant tone and pugna
cous naturalization, necessary appreciate he
rife tornado raging within him The Senatorial lobby and
galleries densey crowded, and anxiety and excite
nent pervadingly apparent. The speech in tone
manner and matter was exceedingly un SenaiOrai-
velemently dCHuncistory and abusive, and portions
thereof were only appropriate for the barroom He com
planned Of being magned by the public press and BY
Members OF congress as regard his Ambiguous ana dc
ceptye in relation 70 the Nebraska bills and then
INDUCED In fpams Of such choice specimens of ebu
epithetical nuncaiiOn bis familiar knowelg re OF BIZ
Ingagate explosives readily suggested.
HI referred to the dgnfed aud truthful appeal Of
tain Senators and Representatives touching the Nebraska
bills and which has been widely disseminated in the spirit
and language Of domonac yndiotiveness-coiDg it the
ftlfe and oalumnous manifesto Of Abolition confederaesi
and when Senator CHASE whois his superior in intellectual
ability and worth, and moral who signed the appeal
for explanation Ike the backguard he Refused 10 give
way exclaming"l win yeldt the floor to no Abolonst.'
In bis rage lac blindly his head agains, the old
dngpce wall Of 81 insisting thai the builders thereof
were ropectve Constitution yolator, and that
had any slave prohibiting effect upon the great North
western Territory; he asaed tie Compromise act Of 1922
was me uDcOlsWuUOnHl run OF n ianhNea
element which had frequently since been disregar1ed aad
repud1ted and proclaimed that the Compromise
SUES of 1880 ratified by the great National Democratic
party, in Baltimore Convention assembled "superseied
and rendered 4" imperative al anecedent compromises
and compscts well all previous legislative restric
ton Of slave extenson-tha they WERE III fact the
prehensiye repeating "fnaly of slave restrictions and
tie perpetual Injunction TO Slavery discussions and aga
lions.
Tie enraged Senator made life Ike exhibition OF vault
irg ambition Overlapping ITSELF and represented most
udicrously the acngs and sayings OF who had lost
lis balance in trying to carry bucket Of water each
shoulder.
Senator Douglas of decided ability and is the
arfcer Of his fortune-but his rregulated and
gove1nabe aspirations for the Presdedcy have caused
him TO act deceptively and hypoeritically lie va.ny
thought he could deceive both the North aud the South
v the use Of indefinite and ambiguous language he fool
by sought TO sten the Southern Shareholders and tbs
Free Soil Democrats the end Of the tanning
his Presidential aspirations but unfortunately for him he
finds them pulling at opposite ends and the prospect of
reuding IN twain has made him insaney mad and hence
his unidentified Senatorial denuncatOry and offensive
defamation of oday.
From this beginning, might reasonably expect " to
see sights before the end is attained but is well
derstood here that this e1posioH, which only sofde
sructive occasoned by too long retention ofsteam
and reckless firing up which under the peculiar cir
ctmstanco of this il is thought is not likely to occur
in any other OTsEGo
