Is the history Of this repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise1 Was its repeal the long thought Of carefully
scanned measure of most importance weighed
deliberately in the MIND Of jndieious statee-
mani Far from it. The truth of its history Is
this After Mr.. Douglas had from bis Co mmfttee
reported bill for the organization of the Territories
of Kansas ard Nebraska In the usual form of Terri
toria bills and after too he had advocated The ex-
tension of the Missouri Compromise line to The Pacific,

substance; Why don't you, Douglas, report bill for
the repeal of the Missouri line Such measure
would be supported by the South and give you the
lead of the Administration. Douglas st once said:
will do iii and within forty.eight hours ths
the Ksnsas and Nebraska bill, uncalled tor ~ the
Southern Democracy, but which they were obliged 70
support as it was right in itself and advocated By
ts author as measure In their favor, which would
open equally all the Territory Of the country to the
citizens of all the States for emigration with their
specious, but fallacious argument, be.
cause it is utterly impossible from the very nature Of
slave property itself, that it should compete with the
emigration from free States, into country whore free
labor could be successfully carried on, and where the
climate suspension Of agricultural labor for
any considerable portion Of the year. Sill the measure
Of Congress- and was claimed BY Douglas TO be boon
to the South which he had given them. For this he
was burned in efigy by the Republicans, for this he
quareled with the 900 ministers North, for this ne
Convention in 1885, bis second attempt to DO Pres
dent by bid for Southern support The Administra-
ton Of President Pierce having been brought into the
support of this measure, aud being conducted upon
strictly constitutional basis, commanded the respect OF
Southern statesmen, and growing distrust OF Douglas
prevented his receiving the votes IN that Convention
which he coveted, and they were then given TO Mr..
Pierce. The entire prostration OF the Democratic
party North, however, because of the evils which
bowed from the KsDsss bill as plaques from Pandoras
box, made Mr.. Buchanan necessity, and be was
nominated"
A business letter to TIE TRIBrsE, dated Fort
Edward, Aug. 10, incidentally says:
"You may set down Old Washington az safe for
300 majority for Lincoln over the united vote OF
Bre ekinridge and Douglas. Two-thirds of the Fill
more men Of Sc are now Republicans"
The Democrats having threatened to send for Mr..
Douglas and attempt to rival the recent Republican
meeting at Springfield, H., TIE Chicago Press and
Tribune heartily agrees saying:
ave repeat, let Mr.. Douglas come! Let as see
whether his presence will induce 500 men in Cham.
paign County to harness their teams and drive hum
dred miles, camping out two nights In the open air
and losing weeks time-as they have Just now done
10 greet Abraham Lincoln. Let US see whether his
presence induces Wide-Awake company, or any
other company to march from Beardstown 70 Spring
field on foot forty miles, snsy have JAZZ now
Lincoln. Let us zee whether bis presence induces
another company from Slaveholding State TO right
their to ferrybodt for the purpose OF coming
nearly hundred miles to Join in the Same procession
as did the Wide-Awakes of Hannibal, Missouri, 10
wave their torches before the next President Of the
United Statee Let us see whether his presence re-
quires the services of fy-two from the City Of
Chicago to carry the multitude hrongng thher nearly
two hundred miles to salute his coming. Let Us see
whether 205 extra summoned to bring the
people from distant quarters 10 applaud his movemeus
Let whether the procession of vehicles occupies
three hours in passing given point where be stands
to answer the salutaiions of his friends. These
questions which we should like 10 have answered by
Mr.. Douglass personal presence in his own State.
We invite his friends to take him off the New England
course and trot him out Illinois prairie soon rs
he can be spared from other engagements"
The Hon. T. B. Flournoy of Arkansas has ad-
dressed the following letter to the Editor Of The Chico
90 Times q, Herald:
CHICAGO, Aug. IL, 1860.
To Gov. McCoMAs-Dear SIR: desire, through
your valuable paper to correct statement going the
rounds of the press to the effect that have changed
position on the Pre- :idential question: have abandoned
The nominees of the National Democratic party, and
hoisted the flag of the seeding Candidates, Breckn
ridge and Lane. wish to say there is not word Of
truth in the statement. 1t may have originated in the
fact that l have nephew, T. C. Flournoy, living in,
who lie terrible fire. eater and he has been
making speeches for Breckenridge and Lane. Thus T..
c. has been mistaken for 7. b. FLoURSoY.
