ter he had first written the speech out and
read ii over, he fattered himself on his sue

tor of that sheet. he wrote an article on the
Bargain and Corruption lie against Hen
dry Clay, who was then the Wing candi
ate for the Presidency, reitera,ing that
bald falsehood for the truth. in the same
style he now repeats the falsehoods in re-
gard to the objects of the Republican par
ty. He read it to an individual in his
Office, who reminded him that the charge
of bargain and corruption" against Clay
was utterly false and groundless. and he
(Perkins,) knew it. "Oh yesl (said Per-

ment on his speech here at the Douglas 6z

Douglas asserts that he does not care
whether slavery is voted up or voted down.
His record proves that he does care.
In 1890 Congress. after mature deliber.-
ton and long discussion, '.voted slavery
down. in all the territory north Of thirty.
six and half degrees. In 1854 when it be-
came apparent that emigration could no lon
ger be kept from the territory in which sla-
very had thus been interdicted, Douglas
procured the removal oil the prohibition--
He Was not willing that slavery should stay
'v",ed down." He does care.

Guard the Polls.

The Republicans of this State have nothing
to fear 10 the coming election but the importe.i
frauanless voters brought here by the democrat
ic party. and the stuGing of ballot boxes by the
Douglas officers of TOE election. We commend
the following law to the notice of all interested
in the purity OF the ballot box. Let it be en-
forced to the fullest extent. We suggest to the
Republican and the Democratic clubs of this
place, that they jointly offer reward of fifty
dollars for the detection and conviction of any
person who may cast an illegal vote. DO matter
what party he may belong to. What cay you
Democrats, will you stand up to the work. But

them as ''slaves'--as men .'owned by their

''capital should own labor" by asserting
that capital does own it. In speaking Of
Slavery. We copy the Gazstte's report, he
said:

It must not be inferred from this that Mr.

and an honorable instinct, proudly recognizes
him as its head. In letter which he has
already written 10 Committee in New York,
In reply TO an invitation TO attend q ratihca-
ton meeting he expresses his satisfaction
with the nominations at Chicago-his entire
approval OF the platform adopted there-his
belief in the fidelity Of Lincoln and Hamlin
to its principles, and his ardent hope that no
feelings Of disappointment on the part of his
friends will be permitted for moment to
hinder or embarrass their election and the
triumph of the cause which they represent
1t is not likely that he will feel called upon,
or that his friends will expect him, to take
any active personal part in the pending can

both in the Senate and in the country, will
continue to be thrown as they have been
hitherto, into the Republican scale.
