State men from the Territory. the specious
scheme was plotted, and Douglas introduced
a bill into the Senate providing for the adj
mission OF Kansas into the nion. with or
without slavery as her inhabitants should e
lect. Then. all at once, the whole Demo
critic North changes its tone. and advocates
the very measures it has ever before de-
nounced Why is this ? The answer is
given above ITO terminate the scenes OF
outrage and murder that are daily occurring"
for the express purpose of "alaying the ex-
ci,.ment in the Northern States aud repair
inc the falling fortunes of the Democracy.
Thus. ta,ity admitting that such scenes Of
outrage had been committed with tie fell
purpose OF establishing Slavery IN the Terri
tory : but, that having aroused the North 70
such an extent a. to endanGer the chance OF
Buchanan's election, a more ingenious plot,
supar-roa'ed and delu>ive, must be r"Sorted
to. wh,h would as ctiectualy con.uu.i.ate
the same diabocal object.
This is what the Senate Kansas hil AS re-
ported by Douglas. proposes TO accomplish
\ more insidious scheme was never devise!
1t has already been thoroughly Gi,secird III
these columns but if any one wishes to re
view the subject, the letter OF Lieut.. Gov
Roberts. an original Democrat, published IL
TIE CALEDoHlAN of July 10, is the mos
concise and conclusive argument We hav,
seem And vet. in the face OF such evidence
the administration papers ask, with show
of canGor, why do the Republicans oppos,

from beginning to end Its woof is fa!se
hood, and its warp deceit; and il there is ont
maa more than another who can successful,
steal the livery of Heaven to serve the dew
IN, that man is Stephen Arnold Douglas.
Ii examination be made Of the extract frs
quoted it will tie seen that the enac'mrnts OF
thc'Shawnee uSurpers are Justly condemned
but we are left to infer that the power tia
passed them was a legally constituted body
The laws are BAT! enough. but even had tina
body of men passed good and wholesome en-
A, tments, they would not have been binding
