constitution is formed. ms ought to be
satisfactory to the Breckenridge men. Is
it to the Douglas men? Does Larrabee
differ from Douglas? The latter in his
speech at Clifton Springs said hold
that the people of territory, while a ter
ritory and during territorial condition
may introduce, exclude. abolish VI regulate
slavery just as they please.
While Douglas holds that the Peop1e of
territory may exclude slavery, Larrabee
maintains the doctrine that it is an indirii-
ual right to hold slaves during the Terrific
rial condition. He is therefore with Breck-
enridgc ana not with Douglas What viii
Douglas men say to this? VIII they sup
port him with this open avowal of princi-
pies identical with those on which Brock
enridge is nominated?
Larrabee has no moral objections TO
slavery. He voted against the repeal Of
the slave code in New Mexico. He would
hold slaves himselfif he could only make it
profitable. Are these the doctrines Of the
Douglas party Of his district?
There were twenty-five men in the Con
ventlon who dissented from these views
Are they representative men? If so, what
are they and those who agree with tn I'm in
sentiment, going to do in this contest?-
Larrabee has since his nomination publicly
declared on the stump, that he stands by
that speech and every sentiment in it-he
has not one word or one sentiment to take
back. Come, gentlemen, be fair-be as
honest as Larrabee Come out plainly and
say you entertain the highest possible re-
spect for the old public functionary-th that
you maintain the right of every STAKEHOLDER
to hold his slaves in the Territories in
spite of the people-that slavery is morally
right That's the talk-that's what your
support of Larrabee must say. Don't
dodge or blink these doctrines in your
speeches or in your presses, but publicly
and boldly proclaim them, as does your
standard bearer.
a few other extracts from that same
speech might have been pertinently put
into the preamble of Mr.. Elwells' resolu-
ton, such as the following:
II have never subscribed to the doctrine Of
the unity of the human race. | believe in the
! pIeurality of the races.
! = The trouble with the African is, that with
us he is out Of his place and position on the
earth. Does he not differ from the white man,
| the yellow man, the red man
. would take these servants and | would
| expeud upon them my energies and my intel
lect, to train and protect them, and in every
way to do my duty before God to those thus
placed under my care and guidance.
. They are not capable of selfgovernment
They must be servants if they come among US
without power on our part to direct or guide
them, in their service, if free lacking as they
do, intellect and capacity for progress.
when you place him in contact with the
white race HE MUST BE sUBJUGATED INTO
sERvITUDE.
= We cannot take. care of them as well as
their masters can"
The Slavery Standard Of Judge Douglas
is not high enough to suit Judge Larrabee.
His motto on this subject is EXCELSIOR
VIII he. can he, ought he, to educate his
/ democratic constituency up to his standard?
After re-elccting Judge Larrabce, and
having given to these principles perma-
nency in the general government, if the
doctrines of his speech are correct, you
will then have home duty to perform. IF
slavery is right, it is acrong to prohibit any
of our citizens from enjoying it. Our State
Constitution needs reforming must be
looked to; you must give to Larrabee and
yourselves an opportunity to discharge
your duties in the sight of God The AZ
ricans here are out of their place on this
Earth, God made mistake in putting them
here, yet they are here by no peculiar in
strumentalities. They were never intend
ed BY their Creator to enjoy political priv
ileges, they were born to be servants and
unless they are enslaved, you will have no
power to direct and guide them, to teach
them religion and moral truths, to direct
them in your service. Poor ignorant crea-
lures, they believe in the truths of Rev
citation, they believe that Adam was the
original Father of the whole human race.
Unless they are enslavcd and thus put in a
condition to bear the light of truth, they may
die Ignorant of the fact, that there was
originally a white Adam, red Adam, a
yellow Adam, and black Adam.
They viii be lost through all eternity in re-
lying upon the Adam of Revealed Law, and
Him who came after as a Savior of the de-
scendants of the white Adam. Haste ye You
have no time olose. Only think, 5000, 900
of human souls are on their way to perdi-
ton unless they are speedily taught to look
to their black father Adam, for salvation
Douglas men of the Third Congressional
district--a great responsibility rests upon
you. You have Inscribed upon your ban
ner these newly discovered truths. and it
is now borne aloft by the gallant Larrabee
Shall that banner be allowed to trail in the
dust? If SO this light goes out. No other such
