Burlinsame Oh Doughfaces--His Tribute
TO the Douglas Men.

Mr.. Burlingame recently made a speech
on Kansas affairs 1t is short but cracks
like whip over the heads of the dough
faces, and gives back fire to the fre-eaters.
Hear him on the Northern tools of the ad-
ministratIon:
We shall beat you like threshing floor
We shall hereafter have majority in this
House. We shall strengthen ourselves in the
Senate, and We are to-day filing all the land
with the portents of your general doom in
1860. And | say, in the presence of this
state of things, that our iirst duty to God and
our country is to devote ourselves to the p0-
litical destruction Of dough faces, who say
one thing at home, and come here to vote
another and who fawn and tremble, and fall
down. in the presence Of the Administration.
No wonder that you, Southern men, call us
slaves, Judging us from these specimens of
the people. But | tell you they do not rep
resent the FIRE and flint of the grim and grizzly
North. They are but our walters on Provi.
denee, our Macsycophants; they are our Uriah
lieeps they belong with Dante's selfish men,
of whom he said, Heaven would not have
them, and hell rejected them. | tell you,
Southern men, | am ready to strike hands
with fire eaters, and exterminate the race.
Ii is becoming extinct. Look in their faces
for the last time; they are fading away
fading away. Oh for an, artist to take their
features, 10 transmit them 20 curious and
scornful posterity. Do it quickly, for the
places which now know them shall soon know
them no more forever.
He thus honors the Anti Lecompton DEM
ncrats -
| think it is the first duty Of republicans
to extinguish the doughfaces but / hold it
also their duty TO bear testimony as to the
manner in which the Douglas men-and they
will pardon me for giving them the name Of
their gifted and gallant leader-to bear testi-
mony to the manner in which they have borne
themselves. They have kept the faith they
have adhered to the doctrine of popular SOW
ereignty; they have voted it in this House,
and they have not fawned and trembled in
the presence of dcn0minating Administra
ton-in the presence Of that great tyranny
which holds the Government in its thrali at
Washington. They have given fash for flash
TO every indignant look and when gentle
man from Virginia, the other day tauntingly
told them that certain language which they
used upon the floor of this House was the
language of rebellion, they shouted out through
the lips of the gentleman from Indiana, Mr.
DAVIS, 1t was the language OF ireemen."
| say that it is due to them that we should
say that they have borne the Drunt of the bat
tle-aud that they, whether from New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois, have
kept the whiteness of their souls, and have
made record which has lain in light and if
my voice can have any weight with the young
men of the country where those men dwell,
| should say to them stand by these men with
all ynur yOunp enthusiasm stand hv them
without distinction of party; they may net
agree exactly with you, but they have stood
the test here, where brave men falter and fall.
Let them teach this tyrannical Administrator
that it's strong that the people are stronger
