to the conclusion that the invitation was a

into Slave State for the purpose Of doing
violence to his person.

the Northern Sectional candidate. to the
success Of Judge Douglas; and for oby;ons

Southern sectionalisln. Douglas combats
the enemies of:the Union wherever they are
to be found. He does not, like Abolition
orators, grow bold in denunciationof South
ern radicals, at Boston, while speaking to a
Northern audience but he goes right where
the evils exist, and face to face with the
Secession leaders, brands them as disunicn-
lists and traitors, before their own people.

who proclaims to the Southern iultraists,
from their own door-steps, that if they at
