made laborcd plea In defense Of bis trcachery
and duplciy IN Congress, such as we!l-foodat

for murder or grand larceny. The meeting, both
In point Of numbers and enthusiasm was an entire
failure, as the wo begone visagos Of the "Clique"
amply testified. The meeting was advertised 20
be held In the Court House. The bell was rung
and auSo and RUNG, but still the people didn't
come Andus few "un,euiGsi" looked horror
struck. The pcals Of the bell sounded to them
more like the death knoil Of Democracy tian any
thing else. Although the meeting hal been ad-
vertlscd more than a week In the Advertiser and
plaoarded all over The sounify, there we're not a
bakers dozen Of Democrats present outside Of
the corporate limits Tho people didn't respond
aud tho "Ciiquo" was IN fi1. Finally they
hired somo OF the boys 10 mako bonfire In the
street and tho meeting was adjourned TO the a.
foresaid corner A crowd Of about my locos, as
many Republicans aud host Of boys gathered
round to see the fun The Clique" gave faint
squeak Tor The Judge, but the oh cohng Of the
boys around the FIRE completely drownoiboth them
and ths speaker aud this was the case throughout.
Verify, they thought, "thIs may be fun for the
boys, but Il Il death TO US" The Judge com.
menood by rctentlug the exploded doctrine Of
'fquatter sovereignty, a. a cardinal principle
Of the democratic faith. rhis,oyoybody knows,
ls repudiatod by tlIo leaders Of party, North aud
South, and Buchanan himself declared 10 Brown
Of Mississippi that he would "throttle" G.. The
Judge luayotto tellus that this doctrine had been
act aside entirely by the Drcd Scott decision,
which has become the shlbbolcth Of democracy
The party stands squarcly on that doctrine, that
the Constitution carries slavery into all the ter.
ritores and that no power, whether ofthc people
or Of Congress, can exclude Il. Tho whole puc
toe of the democratic party in relation to Kan.
sas, and particularly in the passage Of the Eng.
ish Bill, has been that the people shall not rule.
The Judge proceeded to say thatthe Loeompton
Constitution appeared "iair" and Irregular on
its face, when he knows that Il had H. origin In
fraud Of the backest kind aud that Il was IN de-
diuce Of the expressed will Of the people. No
man can fail 10 see this who docs not shut his
eyes 10 the truth aud "go Il blind" Yet Hall
says this constitution was fairly and regularly
formed, and that Congress was bound 10 eonad
crit.
He then came down 10 tho brlbe, offered III,
people Of Kansas In the English Bill. He admit
cd the bribo, by aging expressly that Congress
offered the people Of Kansas so much land pro
viled they would como into the Union, AZ a state
Now the only way Kansas could come into IN,
Union under the English Bill was as slave stat
under the Locompton Constitution. Therefore
according to the judges own admission, he vote,
to give Kansas 50 much land, provided she woul,
come into the Union a. slave state, under IN,
Lccompton constitution Ills only excuse wa
that the Republicans did tho very same thing II

isa No. The Crittendeu- Montgomery Bill pro
yidcd for n fair and honest submission and, Il
case Lecompton was rejected, allowed the peop
to come In Immediately, with whatever oonstitu
ton they might choose. Tho Judge forgot Il
tell us why he deserted Douglas and the Crlttcn

The Judge then came to the disabling clause II
