declared that the Missouri restriction had its origin In
the hearts Of all patriotic men that 1t had origin akin
70 the constitution and that sacred thing that no
ruthless hand would be reckless enough TO disturb
Judge DOUGLAS made such assertion The reporter In
giving account Of that speech strangely mingled up the
remarks Of Judge DOUGLAS upon the restriction OF 1920
and the compromise OF Mr. Clay Of 1921 But the Ian
guage used by Judge DouGLAs that occasion sub
stantaly that ii TO claim for Mr. Clay the
authorship Of the line Of restriction Of 1920 that the opPo-
nens Of Mr. Clay had asserted that that honor W honor
was was due TO others as well as TO him; that II was
urged by opponents OF Mr. Clay that II had its origin
akin to that Of the constitution" lie asserted such
thing himself and report Of that speech which have

quoting the arguments Of others and showing the danger
tendency of their acts And yet this speech of his has
been garbed and perverted and missated and alsied
like everything else that he has sador the purpose Of
creating prejudice against him. and the principle he has
supported. But the attempt has failed. You might as
well expect squad OF pismres TO gnaw down mighty
oak like his assailans and asers to overturn
the character principles, and position of the senator from

On some tall light house dash their little forms;
And the rude granite scatters for their palms,

| Yet the proud fabric, in the morning sun,
Stands all unconscious OF the mischief done.
