respO1sible men Of the party, and OF irresponsible men,
too, if you please, will be unable to find one word
from anybody in the Republican rsnks, opposed to
that Popular Sovereignty which Judge Douglas thaks
that he has invented. [Applause. ] suppose that
Judge Douglas will claim ia little while tins. be is
the inventor Of the idea that the people shodd govern
Themselves Icheers and laughter that nobody ever
thought Of such thing until he brought it forward
We do remember that IN that old Declaration OF indie
pendence it il said that 1--WE hold these truths to be
" selfevident, that all men are created equal; tha
"they are endowed by their Creator with certain IN
"sienable rgbts; that among these are ilie hoeny,
and the pursuit Of Happiness that to secure these
"rigbts governments are instituted amorg men, de-
irving their lust powers from the consent OF the gov.
"ened." There is the origin Of Popular Sovereignty.
Loud applause Who, then, shal come in at this
day and claim that he invented it. Laughter and
applause.
LECoMPTON CONSTITUTION.
The L<comptOn Constitution connects itself with
this question: for it IL in this matter Of the LecOmpon
Constitution that our friend Judge Douglas claims
such vast credit. agree that in opposing the LIE.
compton Constitution, 60 far as can perceive, he was
night. |" Good, good."l 1 do not deny that at all;
and, gentlemen, you Will readily why could not
deny It, even if wanted TO. But do not wish to;
for al the Republicans in the nation opposed it, and
they would have opposed it just as much without
grouLd against it long before he did. Why, the rea.
son that he urges against that Constitution urged
against him year before. have the printed speech
in my hand. The argument that he makes why that
Constitution should not be adopted that the people
were not fairly represented nor allowed 70 vote,
poikted out in q speech year ago, which hold in
my hand row. that no fair chance was to be given the
people %kssd Re- it, :a. not waste Taste
IT,. Gentlemen, reading from speeches is . very te-
dous business particularly for old man that has TO
put spectacles and the more % if the man be 30
tall that be has to bend over to the light Laughter
A little more, now, as to this matter OF popular
sovereignty and the Lecompton Constitution. The
LeeomPton Constitution, a. the Judge tells us, was
defeated. The defeat of it was good thing or it was

A VoIcI-Judge Douglas.
Mr.. LIscoLs-Yes, he furnished himself, and if yor
suppose he controlled the other Democrats that wen
with him. he furnished three votes while the Repuf
icans furnished twenty. Appause.]
This il what be did to defeet it. In the House Of
Representatives he and his friends furnished some

Mr.. LlscoLs-Why, yes, Douglas did It, TO be

Let us, however, put that proposition another way
The Republicans could not have done II without
Judge Douglas. Could he have done it without

A VoIcE-Who killed the bill
ANOTHER VoIcE-Douglss.
Mr. LISCoLS-GrOund was taken against it by the
Republicans long before Douglas did it: The pro-
portion Of opposition to that measure is about five to
one.

Now, who in al this country has ever found any OF
our friends Of Judge Douglass way OF thinking, aud
thought Of uttering word in behalf Of Judge Trum.
