Of suppression and mutilaliun n the memorial ana

his. i'm the memorial. lie. said that when the pre-
,nIyd constitution of Kansas was submitted TO the
r.e.S,ae party for ratification there was clause
admitted which iorbds any black man, whether
lave or free ever to come into Kansas. This clause,
aid Mr.. Douglas, Is suppressed III the constitution
the memorial. This disclosure pro-
!uced wonderful tucrng amongst the abuli-
ion senators. They telt that their fraud was now
ully exposed. Mrssrs. Seward and Wilson under
ook to explain They said The clause referred 10
vas not adopted 10y the people ~ part of the con-
tituiiun but instructions the frs; legislature.
lr Douglas said that on aggravated The fraud. The
lause thus adopted was virtually part of the con.
and Yet It WAS kept out Ut sight to avoid
he objection which il was known Messrs. Seward
nd Wilson both had TO such provision These Sen.
tors had both expressed their opposition 10 such
lauIe and when the constitution Is presented 10 the
eua.e this obnoxious clause was suppressed. MIR.
Douglas closed with most witheriuy and scathng
cuunCiatiou OF Mr.. Wilson's charge that he had been
breed by Cen Achison 20 insert the clause repeating
he Missouri line in the Nebraska bill. He denounced
he charge as false and untuundcd i'll ell lis length
nd breadth, and denied that he Gen. Atchi.nn) had
yer made such speech MIR. Wilson had pretended
quote. He asserted and appealed 10 the President
Mr.. Bright for proof, that the bill drawn and
greed upon by consultation with Northern Senators
rtore il was shown 10 any Southern Senator. We
ave never heard Mr.. Douglas iaore impressive and
Ioqucn, than he in rr;riliug these charges Mr..
wilson vas compelled Ia admit that thc only cvi
ence he had was in having seen the charges in
one r-put.d speech ul Gen. Achi-un. Gen. Rusk
ta;cd tint he knew the charge 10 be false To his
ullrague, who also imI!cated. He had been
old by Gen. AtchisOn that lac had made no speech
,Hccting oil Mr.. Douglas, General Houston, and Mr..
Bell, as stated by Mr.. Wilson.
Mr. Stuart closed the debate in one Of the most
.ouucu speeches we ever listened tn in the Senate.
Ii, rebuke of the conduct OF the abolition agitntcrs,
md especially of Mr.. Harlan for Introducing the
memorial, and Mr.. Wilson for hls violent mode OF
liscussIn. it, was the most scarhinS thing oi the
whole debate. His manner WIS so calm, sell
possessed, and yet earliest and pointed anu
emphatic, that the effect Was overwhelming. lie
alluded with telling effect to h. remark nt Mr.. W son
.bout lighting another day. He said Mr.. VII son
vas not present when the vote was taken on iast
Thursday; whether he had then run away or not,
IL was here now 10 flight another day. The
ru,nph oil the democrats in the whole discussion was
lot more complete than it WAS on the final vote Mr.
Stuart moved to lay the question of receiving the
memorial on the table; which was Carried hya vote
