The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1859-12-03

The WASHINGTON Constitution having Civ
en- up all hope of killing Douglas has now
taken in hand another Traitor That
traitor j. the Hon. 4. u. Brown, OF Missis-
.ippi. 1t viii be remembered that in 1858
Mr. Brown in speech in Mississippi, ex-
pressed the earnest wish that Douglas
would beat Abolition Lincoln. The ex-
preston of such wish was his first overt
act OF treason Old Buck and General
Bowman. and the Attorney General have
had the detectives tracing Brown ever
since. Finally, Mr. Brown, in his recent
speech az Jackson, Mississippi stated his
own positions with great frankness clear
ness. and ability lie expressed his di~ap-
proval Of Judge Douglas doctrines He
condemned in no very measured phrase
the doctrines Of Seward, and then, with
frankness becoming an honest man, he
said that the doctrines protested by Mr.
Buchanan. through his organ and his A.
torrev General, were the most absurd and
ridiculous that could be imagined He
said that the policy avowed by the admin
istratiou was more abhOrrcut than even
Stewards 6. and III that opinion we suppose
every intelligent man Of the country will
cordially unite Mr. Buchanan says that
neither Congress nor the legislature Of the
territories can pass any law upon the sub
Law for the protection Of slavery in the
territories. the Judiciary must protect il
SJch 4 position rs that-to compel the
Judiciary TO provide law for protecting
slavery where no law EXISTS SO absurd
: that we doubt whether any lawyer in the
/ United States except Black. even at the
/ Executive command, could be found 10 as
sumo the responsibility Of advocating il,
! But Mr.. Brown, having laid his rude,
honest hand on the royal purple, must be
/ punished. and here Is the roya. procianla-
ton of outlawry gainst him
With regard to Mr.. Browns present
preference for Mr. Seward over Mr. Blu
q, chanar, IN mercy n Mr. Brown we shall
not express at length the feelings which
| the utterance Of such an outrageous senti-
ment hv Senator Of the United States
protesting to belong TO the Democratic
: party hoe inc,.ired We would hnsevar,
remind Mr.. Brown that when he was re
elected to the high position which he now
occupies, it was believed that he was q
staunch supporter Of Mr.. Buchanan and
his administration. We believe that he
mainly owes MS election to that belief. and
we believe now that were he to seek re-
election on the issue which he has raised
in his recent speech-pre.ercnce Of Mr.
Seward to Mr.. Buchanan on any question
he would not receive five votes within
the limits Of the State Of Mississippi, and
that there are not five Democrats within
the limits oi this broad Union who do not
feel astonishment, not unmiSed with dis
gust at the avowal by o,ly n..,. lcho ie not a
Blgck ReppLLcg IN hts heart or 4 t-aitor 4
tie Democratic party OF so monstrous n sen
timent.
If Mr. buchanan wishes to test the reia
tive popularity Of his own and Mr. Sew
ards principles, will he tell the people IL
what Northern State Ullinois excepted
the people would not, by the most decided
maiorites, prefer Seward to any man pro
, Tossing the wretched doctrines expressed
by Black in his series OF pamphlets. II
, Illinois the Democracy can beat Seward o
any other Republican, but that they car
do so is owing to the fact that, in repudi
! ating Sewardisin, they have avoided B!acl
, Buchananisnl.
