IA Nehra.ka bill. which vas 70 be hls, Doug
lssl stepninr.stone to power proved to be the
ebtSs which eneued bis honor, Bis manhood,
bls strength and his hopes. There ere those who
mean 10 reverse lhe Judgment Of history. Vain
undertaking That man is marked by the hand |
ofeterual retribution. On his very front stands |
the fatal touch. DO not attempt TO arrest the
hand of Supreme Justice. You cannot save
him from his ruin. Why are you SO eager to
share his disgrace Leaders Of the Douglas
Democracy, what meuns your empty brayadO
of strength You cannot deceive Others why
are you working so hard to deceive yourselves
You know that your orators are but endeavor-
ing TO galvanze dead body into artificial life.
You are wen aware that your mass meeting
demonstrations are huge galyanie batteries OF
pay. What meOns your desperate attempt TO
glue your broken fortunes together with those
of other parties Do you think this is the way
to cheat destiny out Uf its dues is it your
ambition to have your descendant read in the
history of our days there were men living in
1860 that with instincts so depraved that when
they could not accomplish that which was evil,
they endeavored at leastto prevent that which
was good. -tt
Aud you who are warned by this sacred
voice Of conscience that you are doing wronglu
|. adheriug to Douglas, aud yet obey The com
mand of party, hear me Is this party drill
: discipline SO omnipotent an idol that you would
} sacrifice upou its altar your independence your
| | manhood, and oil that constitutes your moral
worth
4 And YOU who claim the privilege Of swearing
5 by the Constitution and the laws will you
a stamp the evidence OF hypocrisy upon your
o brow by indirectly endorsing him VINO mas uone
o more than other living man to undermine the
r Constitution aud prevent tie laws Viii you
a "a. huc ckafe barter
' not only your votes, but your conSciences and
J. your bouUr
! But let the cousprators come on we defy
[ them. 90 on with yo1r coalitions, which are
/ made with the distinct understanding that those
, who unite today are to cheat each other to-
, morrow Has it become ruling principle 10
your parties that the rank aud file have no
rights winch the leaders are bound to respect 2
, You will fnd out your mistake. Look around
YOU. Do you not see thousands leaving yours
banners, unwilling to submit to your treacherous
scheme TO rob tie people Of their elections. Do
you know what all this means 1t means that
the man rises above the partisan. 1t means the
revival OF conscience in politics. 1t is the true
! sovereignty of the people yudicating ITSELF
5 ICheers.l Now, build up your mole-hiils, and
Gull them impregnable lorlreSses. 1t seems you
' do not know how small they are. The logic
: ofthis will roll its massive will over them. our
puny contrivances will leave no trace behind
them to tell the dUlefal story
Sir only those whose hearts are unmoved by
great moral impulses can fail to see that we are
in tie midst OF great moral revolution. They
cannot prevent iual victory firmly believe
they caaUot retard it. No, they are aiding il in
spite of themselves for their general rOtteu-
ness demonstrates its necessity. Douglas him
self is powerfully promoting IFS progress lie
, has taught the people Of America great, sub
lime lesson. u.-
think it was Senator Pugh who one said
that il Douglas was struck down by the South,
. he would take his bleeding corpse and show it
:. to the youth Of the Northwest as an example
:. of Southern gratitude Let that modern Mark
Antony come 10 with his dead Cesar (pardon
d me, it is neither Caesar dead nor Mark Antony
: iving,) let him bring 10 his bleeding corpse, and
h would suggest the funeral oraton. Let him
i say to the youth of the American Republic
A. This is Douglas, Look at him. For every
10 wound the South Inflicted upon him he has
pr struck blow at the liberties Of his country
\ men. Let him serve as a warning example that
i. a man be atraitor to liberty, and YET not be-
d come favorite of the slave power Mark him.
a BY false Popular Sovereignty he tried to ele-
AT Y.te himself ; a true Popular Soyereignt!
"a strikes him down. Loud applause.
ne II the youth of America profit by this lesson
10 some service TO his country. Laug ghter The
es peace be with him--his mission is fulfilled.
Ne But now we have 10 fulfil ours. False Pop
an uIar Sovereign is down. Freeinen, il is for yot
ID to see 10 it, that true Popular Sovereignty tri
Mt umph.
