For the Gate City
kichsrAses's speech, No. ..
am sorry that cannot consistently with
my sense Of propriety "oblige" Glover Of
Truth" by giving much heed to his string Of
questiors. The person to whom they are
addressed is not . candidate for any Office,
and Heaven forbid that he ever should be.
They are therefore as impertinent a. they are
irrelevant. An answer to them, however
full aud explicit, would throw no light On any
issue before the public. II thought il rig 1t
to obtrude such matters into the newspapers.
should cay yes, to his Sd and 5th questions,
aud NO, to oil the rest. But do not choose
to mix Up the private history Of any man,
however important, much less my humble
self,-with the discussion of political quos-
lions. "A Lover Of Truth" will please cx-
cnse M for turning his attention from these
small-potato personalities to the more i'm
portant subjects Of Mr.. Richardson's speech.
The remainder Of that speech il soon dis
posed of. But before adverting TO its con-
GLIDING topics, permit me again to refer TO the
frequen, boast of confidence in the virtue
and intelligence Of the people," boast that
il fatty controdicted BY his refusal to post
pone the Kansas Nebraeka bill to the merit
Congress, so az to let the people hare their
say in The matter. Let it be kept constantly
in mind, that the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise was sprung suddenly upon Con-
gress, without being asked for by any section
Of the country. wish to call especial At
tention 10 this point, and would commend it
to the serious consideration of the legion Of
Democratic stumpcrs in keokuk. Those who
voted for the repeal, without consulting the
wishes of their constituents, and in many
cases in conscious violation OF their earnestly
expressed desires, are the last men on earth TO
talk about "ths right Of the people to govern
themselves" There is in my opinion no i'm
stance on record, in this or any other coastry,
where the public sentiment was so openly and
knowingly sparned. Can man be honestly
in fayer of "Squatter Sovereignty in
Kansas, while no is mocking and scorning
the wishes Of his constitusnAs Mt home
Those Northern members Who voted for the
repeal, knesc BY were violating the wishes
Of those who had con6ded in their honor.
They kneW they were trampling under foot
every principle Of that Democracy which is
the themn Of SO much hypocritical blather.
They kneU they were not fairly represent
ing, but wilfully and wickedly mis-repre-
senting those who Ind trusted them. They
would not postpone the bill to the next
Congress, because they knew the people
would bury it beyond the reach Of resurrec-
ton. These hardened and audscious men
did no. mean to carry out the will of their
constituents, as that will has since been ex-
pressed at the ballot box. No! Instead Of
acting rs the peoples servants, they inso-
solentl, assumed the function Of .relentless
masters, and despotic dctators. Is any one
green enough to believe that such characters
as Richardson nnd his fellow Dough Faces,
rho road not aiIoU the people Of the
Uaiffd States 10 decide for themselres
the qussfiow ~ The continued invioIability
Of compact, arc really concerned about
the principle Of " Intervention" or "non-
intervcntion' in ths Territories /? The very
idea is 10 absurd and preposterous, that
dismiss it with that unspeakable disgust it
must ever inspire.
Fremonfs votes in the Z. S. Senate, Jor
the security Of Slavery rhere IL noU is;
Dayton's votes against abolishing a certain
rule in the Navy, which is in vogue on the
plantation, and in which he Was sustained
BY nearly every stakeholder in Congress;
and that arfu! Flag, on whose lurid face
was seen'only sixteen stars!!! These wore
the topics OF the last half Of "Col. Rich
ardson's able speech" They will be mo-
tced MS they deserve by
AN OLD DEMOCRAT.
