Burlingams on DoughfaOss,


We are indebted to Hon A Burlingans
Of Massachusetts,. fOr q copy Of bis Ksnsa,
speech. II Is short but cracks like q whip
over the heads Of the dOughfaces, and
gives back fire 70 the hre-eaters. Hear
him on the Northern tools Of the Admin.
istratiou.
1--WE shall beat you like a tlrreshing
floor We shall hereafter have q msioriiy
10 this House. We shall strengthen our
selves in the Senate. and we are to-day
fllling all the land with the pOrtents Of
your doom in 1862. And say, In the
presence Of This state Of things, that oul
first d1ty to, God anil our country Is tc
devoteOurselyes to the politieAldestruchon
Of doughfaces, who say one thing at home
and come here to vote another; and who
faWn and tremble aud fall down. in the
presence of the Administration. No Won
Ger that you, Southern,lDeo, call US slaves,
Judging us from these specimens Of people
But / Tell you they don OF represent the fire
and flint OF that grim and grizzly North,
They are but our walters on Providence
our Mscsycophants; they are our Uriah
Heeps; they belong with Dante's selfish
men, Of whom be said; Heaven would moi
have them, and bell rejected them. I5telI
you, Southern men, l am ready to strike
hands with fire eaters, and exterminate Ihe
race. 1t is becoming extinct. Look in
their faces for the last time, they are fa-
ding away-fadiug away. 0hlfor an ar.
tist 10 take their features, to transmit them
to curious and scornful posterity. Do il
quickly, for the places which know them
now shall soon know them no more for
ever" E.E...-.
He thus honors and lauds the anti !Le-
compton Democrats: 3I
IL think it the first duty Of Republicans
TO extinguish the doughfaces; but 1 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 gallant and gifted leader
to bear testimony TO the manner in
which they have borne themselves. They
have kept the faith they have adhered to
the doctrine Of popular sovereignty; they
have voted it in this House, and they have
not fawned and trembled in the presence
of dominating Administration-in the
presence Of that great tyranny which
holds the Government in its thralE at
Washington. They have given flash for
flash to every indignant look; and when
a gentleman from Virginia, the other day,
tauutingly told them that certain language
which they used upon the floor of this
House was The language ofrebellion, they
shouted through the lips Ofthe gentleman
from Indiana, (Mr Davis) 1t was the
language of freemen." l say it is due to
them that we should say that they have
borne the brunt of the battle--and that
they, whether from New York, Pennsylva-
mia. Indiana or Illinois, haye kept the
witnesses Of their SOULS and have made a
record which has lain in light; and if my
voice csn Lave any weight with the young
men of the country where those inen dwell,
should say to them stand by these men
with all your young enthusiasm, stand by
them without distinction Of party; they
may not agree exactly with you, but they
have stood the test here, where brave men
falter and fall. Let them teach this tyr
annical Administration, that If it is strong,
The people are stronger behind it."
