Dent Care whether slavery is IUt>a
Down OK p.'

This expression, used by Judge Dougias
has been torn from lis surroundings, and
wholly and utterly perverted The Re
/ publican press, with that iGburn love Of
peryersion and misrepre >eutstiou, which
characteriZes many Of them, have so
emasculated the record a to make this
expression indicate that Judge Dou Elas
had no opinion upon the sU.ject ot slavery,
and was perfectly indifferent aa TO whether
he should vote for slavery or against 1t.
The men who quote this remark must
know that Judge Douglas meant no such
thing The expression occurs IN Nr Dou--
las speech on the Presidents Message on
the Lecompton bill As is known, Mr..
Douglas had pledged himself in every
form 10 allow the people OF Kansas 10
come iuto the Union, with or without
slavery" as they might determine. 1t l.
known also that base fraud was perpe-
trated on the people Of Kansas, whereby
they had been deprived Of a fair vote On
the Lecompton Constitution. Ia the
speech referred to- Mr. Douglas was attack
ing that fraud upon the rights Of the peo-
pie and the Infamous evasion OF the Kan.
sas and Nebraska bill. He was urged to
suspend his action until the Of DIST OF
December was heard from, upon the
ground that the slavery clause might be
voted down. IN reply 10 this Mr. Douglas
showed that his ground Of attack WAS not
that slavery wound or wCuld not be estat-
lished. but that the people had the right
10 a fair vote on thai question. and that he
was determined to " dicate that right.
whether slavery was voted down or up

We can most heartily endorse this nom

the last fifteen years, and can vouch for
his Democracy AID purity OF character
We believe he is one Of the oldest resi-
dents in this part of the district H. is
enterprisine and public spirited as man
and citizen, and possesses all the ele-
ments of popularity necessary in candi-
date.
Indeed, We ara confident that better
selection could not have been made Mr.
Murray is a live democrat in every sense
OF the term. Enthusiastic. sanguine and
firm in his political predictions, he is just
the man to canvass this benghted district
Already we have heard of scores of old
line Wings who will vote for him in pre-
ference to Loveioy, the Abolitionist Mr.
Murray is good speaker. and we learn
has invited Lovejoy to joint discussion
of the political issues of the day before
the people OF the district If Mr. Loyejoy
accepts we may expect lively times be-
tween now and election. We apprehend,
however. that the reverend gentleman,
Yates-like, Will decline joint discussion.
We appeal to the conservative, Union
loving men Of this Congressional district
Shall Loyeioy continue TO miSrepresent
and d sgrace this district, or shall we elect
a man who will stand by the constitution
and laws? The issue is abolitionism and

LincOIn.s Opinion of Jefe rson.

Since Abraham Lincoln has been talked
OF for President. we believe he has written
a letter to some Yankee AbOlitIOnists, eX-
tolling Thomas jefferson, and claimln =
him as the father and founder oi the
modern Republican party. 1t seems, how
ever that, Sir. Lincoln entertained very
different opinion of Jefferson 3 few years
ago The Macomb Qllinois) E,3ls, has
had the unkindness to rake up from the
old files speech made by Mr. Lincoln in
1915, in which he thus spoke If the author
of the Declaration of Independence:
Mr. Jefferson i d statesman whose
praises are never out of the mouth ot H. G
Democratic party, Let Us attend to this
unconprom;sing friend OF freedom, whose
name Is continually invoked against the
Wing party. The chara ter of Jefferson
was repuis!ve. Continually sroutirg about;
liberty, equality, and the degrading curse
o. slavery, he brought his own children 10
the hammer, and made money OF his de
baucheries. Even at his death he did not
manumlt his numerous offspring, but left
them, soul and body, to degradation and
the cart whip. 4 daughter Of this vaunted
champion Of Democracy, was sold some
years ago at public auction in New Orleans
and purchased by society of gentlemen,
who wished to testify by her liberation,
their admiration of tie statesman, who
''Dreampt of freedom in slaves embrace"
This single line | have quoted, gives
more insight to the character OF the man,
than whole volumes of panegyrle III VIII
outlive his epitaph, write it who may -.
And the man who uttered these sentl-
ments sixteen wears ago. would now have
the people believe that jefferson was as
much of an Abolitionist as he himself is.
