We make The following extract from the
strong, able and logical speech Of Senator
Douglas, recently delivered in New York. Mf.
Douglas said;
Instead OF carrying out their pledges they
now wish TO ignore every plank in their plat
form, they desire 10 dodge all the issues, and ia
lieu Of il make up side issue upon the recent
events in the Territory OF KanSaS. Now, what
are those eventsl They tell US tina: civil war,
bioodshed aud violence prevail IN Kansas.--
| Why is thatl Ii Is the result Of the Kansas.
| Nebraska Bill. Bear in mind, my counlrymen,
that the same lsw, The same act Of Congress
which created Kansas created Nebraska; both
Territories depend upon the same organic law,
and have the same rights, the same principles
secured 10 them. And yet in Nebraska there
has beer peace, harmony, quiet, good will
Everything 10 gladden. the heart OF patriot. =

| On The other hand, in Kansas, you have re-
bellion against the law, violence, murder,
house burning, bloodshed--every crime thai
can disgrace humanity Why il il that--bott

Nebraska, where peace prevails, the Aboli'

was kept out; the people were allowed toreg
