is new wonder of the world. 1t is based
upon falsehood in the main as to the facts
at all in many instances and no decision
made on any question-the first instance
of a decision made under so many unfavor-

been held by the profession as law, and il
has always needed confirmation before the
lawyers regarded it as settled law. But
Judge Douglas will have it that all hands

NATIONAL BANK DECIDED CONSTITUTIONAL.
Circumstances alters eases. Do not gen.
tlemen here remember the case of that
same Supreme Court, some twenty-five or
thirty years ago, decided that a National
Bank was constitutional? eyes" "yes.")
Such is the truth, whether it be remem
bered or not. The Bank charter ran out,
and re-charter was granted by Congress.
That re-charter was laid before Gen. jack
son. 1t was urged upon him, when be de-
MED the constitutionality of the bank that
the Supreme Court had no right to lay
down rule to govern a coordinate branch
of the government, the members of which
had sworn to support the constitution as
he understood it. l will venture here to
say, that l have heard Judge Douglas say
that he approved of Gen. jackson for the
act. What has now become of all his IL

Don't ENDORSE DOUGLAS.
If you endorse him, you tell him you do
not care whether slavery be voted up or
down, and he will close, or try to close,
your mouths with his declaration repeated
By the day, the week, the month, the year.
Is that what you mean? (Cries of "no;"
one voice "yes." Yes, l have no doubt
you have always been for him, if you mean
that. No doubt of that. Soberly l have
said, and repeat it, think in the position
in which Judge Douglas stood in opposing
the Lecompton Constitution he was right;
he does know where to find him, and if he
docs moi, we may know where to look for
him, and that is on the Cincinnati Plat
form. Now could ask the Republican
party, after all the hard names that Judge
Douglas has called them by all his repeat
ed charges of their inclination to marry
with and buy negroes-all his declarations
of Black Republicanism, (by the way we
are improving, the black has got rubbed
off,)-but with all that, if lie be endorsed
by Republican votes, where do you stand I?
Plainly, you stand ready saddled, bridled,
and harnessed, and waiting to driven over

We were often-more than once, at least
in the course of Judge Douglas speech
last night, reminded that this government
was made for white menl Well, that is
putting it in shape in which no one wish

to his passion for drawing differences which
are not warranted. protest, now and for
ever against the counterfeit logic which
presumes that because do not want a
negro woman for slave, do necessarily
want her for wife. My understanding
is that l need not have her fol either, but
as God made US separate we can leave one
another much good thereby. There are
white women, and in Gods name let them
be so married. The Judge regales US with
the terrible enormities take place by the
mixture of races; that the inferior race
bears the superior down. Why Judge, if
we will not let them get together in the
