Judge Douglas has quoted from, when sAy thai
thIk the opponents Of Slavery Will reest tue f1rthei
spresd Of it. and place it where the public mind shsl

tpction, only mean to say that they will place it
where the founders Of thH Government org naly
placed it.
/ have said hundred times ard have nov no
Inclination to take it back, that believe there is 10
right and ough, to be inclination, 10 the people OF
the Free States 70 eLter into the Slave Ssates, and
interfere with the question OF Slavery at all have
said that always. Judge Douglas has heard me ssy
tiff not quite hundred times, at least as good a.
hurdred times; ard when 1t IL said that am in favor
Of nterferipg with Slavery where il exists, know IL
unwsnsLted by anything I have ever intended, and,
az believe, by anything I have ever ssid. II, by
any means, / have ever used language which couh
fairly be 20 eorsiued lac, boSever, believe never

Here the shouts Of the Seventh Ward Delegation
announced that they were coming in procession I1ey
were received with Enthusiastic cheers.
So much, then, for the inference tina. Judge
Douglas draws that am in favor OF setting the &c
tons at war with one another. ] know that never
meant any such thing, and j believe that No fa'r
mind can il fer any such thing from anything have
ever said. y" Coed, good.
Now in relation TO his inference tina. am 10 favor
Of general consolidation Of all the local INSTITUTIONS
Of the various States. will attend to tina. tor LITE
while and try to inquire if csn how on earth II could
be that any man could draw such an inference from
any thing said. | have said, very many tmee, 10
Judge Douglass hearirg that no man beheved more
than in the principle Of sefgovernment; that It lies
at the bottom of al my ideas Of Just government from
be ginr ing to end have denied that his Of that
term applies properly. But for the thing itself deny
that any man bse ever gore ahead Of me in hs devo'
titn to the principle whatever he may have done 10
efficiency in advocating it thsk that have sa'd !,
in your besrDg-thst believe each individual nat.
uray entitled te do az he plesses with himself and
the fruit Of his labor far as in no wlse Ioehores
with any other mans rights apolsuse inst esch
community as State, has right to do exactly a. 1t
y,of With 10 q
terfere with the rights OF other State and that the
General Government upon principle, has NO rgnt 10
interfere with anything other than that general class
of things that does concern the whole. i have said
that at oil times. have said a. illustrations that
do not believe in the right of Illinois TO interfere with
the cranberry laws OF Indiana, the oyster avs OF VIZ
ginia or the Liquor Laws Of Maine. have SAID
these things over and over again and repeat tnem
How is il, then that Judge Douglas infers, becauss
hope to Slavery put where the public mind shall
rect in the belief that it is n the course of ultimate
extinction, that ain in favor Of Illinois going over
and interfering with the cranberry laws OF indisna
What can authorize him to draw any euch inference
suppose there might be oDs thing that at least en-
abled him to draw such al inference that would not
be true with me or with many ohers-thst is because
he looks upon all this matter OF Slavery &c IN exceed
i.Rly little thrg-this matt9 OF keeping ss1th OF
the population Of the whole nation in state Of 0p.
preston and tyranny unequaled in the world He
looks upon it being an exceedingly little thng-onlv
equal to the question Of tho cranberry laws

land with cattle plant it with tObsccoso little and
20 small thing that be concludes that if could DO.
sire that anything should be done 70 bring about the
ultimate extinction Of that little thing Unjust be in
favor Of bringing about IL amalgamahon OF al the
other little things in the Union. Now it 30 happens
and there presume, 10 the foundation Of this mistake
there is vast proportion Of the American people that
do net ok upon that matter a. being this very little
thing They look upon 1t a. vast moral evil; they
can prove such BY the writings OF those who gave
us the blessings Of liberty which We enjoy, and that
they looked upon it, and not Is an evil merely eonan-
ing itself to the States whore it 10 stusted and while
We agree that by the Constitution We ssesnsd to, IN
the States whore it exists, have NO right TO inter
ave by both duty and inclination to stick by the Con-
stuion in oil its letter and sprk from beginning to
end. Great applause.
So much. then a. to my disposition-my wsb-to
have one general consolidated government and ur-
foamity Of domestic regulations in al the States BY
which suppose it il meant, if We raise corn here
must make sugar cane grow here too, and met make
All this suppose the Judge understands an in
favor Of doing. Now, 70 much for eli this nonsense
for must call it 80. The Judge can have no issue
with on question Of establishing uniformity in the
domestic regulations Of the States.
