the fremont House, where he welcomed in brief
speech in behalf of the citizens by Chas Walker Presi
dent of the Board of Trade.
Mr. Douglas after returning thanks for the magnificent
reception reviewed the action Congress the
Kansas bill. He eXtoed the Crittenden bill honest
and as the best proposition for the practical usra
ton of popular sovereignty He claimed that the struggle
with Lecomptonism for the integrity of principle.
| That struggle triumphant, and Lecomptonism was
virtually abandoned by its friends, and had been
feated forever. He had opposed the English bill,
although practically it sent back the Constitution
to be accepted or rejected by the people, because
the well the form of that submission
at variance with just principle of popular govern
ment 1t was submission of the Constitution the peo-
pie, with the threat that if they did not accept Slave
Constitution its 35 900 inhabitants in as
Free State until had 93 000 He could counten
ance such discrimination between free and slave States
The best energies of his mind had been years
voted to the great principles of the rights the people
TO frame their fundamental laws
he intended to devote all his life the
trine. He contended that compromise measures of
1850 founded that principle
in the Kansas Nebraska bill He affirmed the Cincinnati
platform and reairmed President Buchanans inaugural
He regretted to see, however, a political party of this
country determine not to acquiesce in this line policy
| The Republican Convention recently assembled at
Springfield nominated Mr.. Lincoln his tDouglas)
to the Senate to repudiae the popular
sovereignty. He Lincon proclaimed that Congress-
not the people of the Teri itoes had the right establish
the domestic institutions of the Territories Lincoln en-
dorsed not only this doctrine, but proclaimed line of
policy which incompatible with the existence the
unon for he declared that the Union, divided
equal number of free and slave States, endure
Mr. Douglas showed the dangerous tendency of this
trine, and said that it invited and proclaimed
termnation-one section against the other He regarded
it as subversive of the fundamental principles upon which
our complex system of government rested.
He denied that uniformity of local policy and of
domestic institutions in the different States was
either desirable possible; on the contrary,
he held that political system rested upon the
theory and the practice of dissmilarty of local
policy and Of domestic institutions in the different
States Our forefathers clearly perceived that the
Kind of domestic institutions which would suit New
Hampshire would be totally unfit for the rice plan
tations of Carolina. Hence they adopted constitu-
ton which provides that each State should
he sovereign and supreme within its own lin
| its, on the supposition that they would be
diversified States as they were numerous
Thus it would seem, the diversity and dissimlanty
of the domestic institutions the sovereign States
are the cardinal principles underlying trn whole
! system of our government. Its strength, harmony
and adaptation to the wants and interests of the
people all depended upon the right of State to
form and regulate its internal policy without
reference to its similarity dissmilary other
Safes Repeated uniformity is neither desirable pos
sibe If possible, how it be obtained? There is but
one through which it be accomplished and
that would be to abolish the Legislatures convert
the government into consolidated empire investing
Congress with full power to adopt police regulations
ulae internal policy and adopt domestic institutions
all the States. Let this be done and there would be uni
ormity. Then the States would be either all free all
slave States Then the negroes could vote everywhere
nowhere.
Then glorious confederation of thirty-two
eregn States would be merged into consolidated
pire and the uniformity of dcspotsm would reign
triumphant throughout the land. Mr. Douglas pro-
ceeded to answer Mr. Lincolns crusade against the
Supreme Court, account of the bred Scott de-
cson. He could sanction crusade, he said, against
the highest judicial tribunal in the land, yet
he prepared to yield obedience to the law;
| pounded by that Court He did not agree with Mr..
Lincoln, that it great wrong to deprive negro
of the rights of citizenship He did believe they
intended to be citizens Our government found
!
humanity required that negroes and other inferior
should be permitted to enjoy only rights prv
leges they capable of exercising with
the good of society. Mr. Douglas adverted the
sity of maintaining the organization of the Democratic
party While there might be differences of opinion with
respect to the true construction fparticular
creed party toeraon he said must be INDUCED. There
should be prescription of sound Democrat
such differences. Government office holders and Republi
acting in unison for the purpose defeating the reg
uar Democratic nominations, would be like Russians
at SebatOpol who kept firing, without caring which
! they hit, French English.
