gentlemen, there has not been an element lack

There has not been single circumstance lack
ing. They have gone on step by step, with a
tread of fato and destiny, trying to crush out
the brave and gallant spirits who have stood
forth asking for nothing but to be allowed to
do right.
Look at the South, in whose name this deed,
Lecomptonism, has been perpetrated after its
representatives in the Senate and the House
have assisted in bounding down Stephen A.
Douglas and David Q. Broderick aud their
gallant c0mpatriots in the House, the South be-
gins to say, as they see the Administration hell
hounds pursuing and attacking Douglas and bis
f, friends in Illinois: 'sThis is too much. We are
willing to accept Lecomptonism as gilded peis-
on which has been extended to US, aud which
IS to help US, though the ouly thing it has done
| has been to to commit our Representatives to
a gross wrong towerd the North. But we can
not bear this persecution" Read the letter
