devotion to the great principles which you
have this day promulgated
On many public questions, not now direct
ly in issue,l have had occasion heretofore to
express my opinions in various forms These
opinions remain on record and unchanged
On the great issues now before the people,
my opinions are expressed Ill the platform
you have this day adopted.
On this point there is the most pressing
need Of union and resolution. kanzas must
be saved from slavery by the voters Of the
free states.
1t was my fortune to bear some humble
part in the memorable struggle which issued
in the repeal of the Missouri prohibition.
tpon that occasion, though among the most
determined opponents Of the Compromises Of
$3.50, | declared in my place that | was
ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with the
supporters of those Compromises, now Justly
incenscd by that violation Of plightcd faith
for the redress Of that last greatest wrong.
In this spirit | am prepared to act to-day.
Side by side with all men who are willing to
unite with me for the defence Of freedom, |
am ready to contend to the last for the rescue
Of the territories from slavery
| would do no injustice to the slave states
MI rights guaranteed to them by the con-
stitution should be fully and chccrtuly con-
coded Whatever can be COnstitutiOnally
done by the national legislature to promote
their progress and improvement, should be
unhesitatingly and ungrudgingly done
We should insist only that outside OF
slave states, we shall not be responsible lol
the maintainanco Of slavery, and that the
Just and constitutional influence of the gen
eral government shall be cNcrtcd ON the
side OF liberty.
The question Of slavery in the states may

MIGHT RUNNING UFON hhLhoADs.-We nave
some times heard II remarked by thnid persons
that they would not travel by night on a railroad
their impression being that there is moro danger
Of accidents in the dark than during daylight.
Upon first thought this would seem to be the fact
but a writer in tho Railroad Advocate takes diff.
fercnt view Of the natter and certainly makes out
a good case. He says that there are many circunl-
stances which make night running comparatively
safe. All work upon the track is stopped Com
paratively few other trains are on the road. No
drawbridge would ever be likely to remain open
in the night Switches are more likely to be right
than at other times they are not in use for other
trains, and are locked. The signals made for the
night trains being made by lights, would scarcely
fail to be observed and obeyed, and, what Is Inn
portant, would be seen ut greater distance than
any other signal in daylight. The engineer has
esa TO attract his attention than in the day time.
While. after all rock or tree falling across bend
| In the track in broad daylight or an intended OBJ
struction, Is nearly as much a"hidden danger 60
if encountered in the night There are many places
In nearly all roads where the range of view y less
than thu reflection Of the headlight at night
SO. after all IL would appear that one can tsse
nights rest in railroad car with comparative
safety.
