IS throwing the bullock TO the starved,
wolves thst they may make a Peaceaole
solution OF it.
WHY. my friends, This doctrine Of Squat
ter Sovereignty is more barbafous retro
cession than slavery itself II lavokes ra--
pine. 6esolaticn, and slaughter; the rule OF
the red right hand, the government Of the
strongest.
But lei us turn to some consideration OF
the man by whom this dangerous and I'M
precelentelt doctrine is announced.
Great virtues excuse great errors. n
nulinu,' says distinguished philosopher,
"w'l pardon many things in those who
serve ltegn.'
By the character Of this man, Douglas,
additional light win be thrown upon ms
doctrine.
4 statesman who aspires to lead the
American people should possess in an emi.
rent desree those moral attributes which
distinguish us from all other nations.
In the first place he should preominently
possess a keen, an undying love for that
principle OF liberty which originated US,
lifted W. up, buoyed Us forth Oh the great
tide Of time. ana whose Development seems
under the hand Of God, the primal purpose
o! our being
Not a love for liberty in the abstract, IS
align memory or vague conception, bat
practical, actual liberty, rs gp2ascd to hu-
aszn 5sjags, 20 the ameNoratlon Of Their
condition, 10 the blessing and the benefit
.ing Of them.
For who among Us, my friends, has no.
been the better for this gift, Liberty:
History, chanting the worlds advance,
Sings through all her varied recital, one
ever recurring refrain:
