Douglass on slavery Prohibition.

Dsagiass on slavery Prohibition.
The Times seems ignorant as to the orin-
ions of Henry Clay, and it also manifests
equal oblivion in regard to the antecedents
Of Stephen A. Douglass. In the benevo-
lence Of our heart we will recall some Of Mr..
Douglass opinions, set forth before his
mind and heart had become utterly debaucll-
ed by mad ambition, to fawn at the feet of
the Slaveholding leaders of the South.
In letter published some years since he
said:
81 desire to know whether Col. Benton
was to be excluded merely because he be-
licved that Congress possessed the power to
legslate upon the subject Of slavery in the
Territories when opposed to the exercise of
the power. q 30. the same rule rould ar
II Col. Benton was to be excluded on this
account, tho rule must be extended to all
others, and hence Democratic caucus would
lind itself in the sad predicament Of pre-
scribing test of faith according to which no
one of us would be competent to serve on
committees rs Democrats.
And in speech made by him on another
occasion, he uttered the following truthful
sentiment in regard to the Missouri Compro-
mise, which he and his party have since an.
nulled and pronounced unconstitutional
SIT had an origin akin to that OF the Con-
stitntion of the United States, conceived in
she same spirit Of fraternal affection. and
calculated to remove forever the danger
winch seemed to threaten, at some distant
day, TO sever the social bonds Of union. All
the evidences OF public opinion ut that day,
seemed to indicate that this compromise had
become canonized in the hearts OF the Amer
ican people as sacred thing, which no ruth
less hand would ever be reckless enough to
disturb.'
And still later, in 1854, he drew up the
Bill organizing the Territory Of Nebraska on
the professed principle that the Missouri
Compromise was not to be disturbed, and
that It's repeal would be n departure from the
principles OF the Compromise Of 1850. But
the siavery-propagandists, through Dixon Of
Kentucky, proposed an amendment to the
Dill, repeating the Missouri Compromise, and
Aschison ana others gave Douglass to under.
stand be must so modify his bill Or his polit-
ical damnation was sealed. Douglass knew
their determination, he knew their power
over the Democratic party, and succumbed
with the demagosae lie Of "popular sov.-
re'gnty" tackled %, to the bill, to humhur
the North.
