Mr.. Farnsworth had in effect charged hin
with having expressed certain resolutions
of the Illinois Democracy on the subject
of slavery in his (Farnsworth's) speech the
other day. The charge was compounded
and supplementary rejecting upon hin
(Mr. McClernard.
Mr.. Farnsworth replied, that all be
sought to do was to let the South and the
country know where the Douglas Democ
racy of Illinois stand. They declare they
want no new Congressional test on slavery
no slave code, no revival of the African
slave trade, and assert that slavery is a
more municipal local institution.
He heard yesterday the speech of Mr..
Douglas, who proposes slave code, by
making it a penitentiary offence for any
person to interfere with the relation of mas
Ter and slave.
Mr.. Logan said that SO far as the Demo
racy of Illinois were concerned, they can
take care of themselves, and if bis collea-
que Farnsworth) would attend to bis own
platform he would act with little more
propriely to the Slave Code, it was none Of
Mr.. Fransworth's business. The distin-
guished gentleman proposed that law be
passed to open the doors of the penitentary
to those who incite treason and insurrec-
ton, and those who band together to run
away slaves from their masters. He sus-
pected bis collegue desired no such law,
for fear i might afflict some persons living
where Mr.. Farnsworth does.
Mr.. Farnsworth inquired what did Mr..
Douglas propose but Slave Code?
Mr.. Logan said he endorsed every point
of Mr. Douglas Bill, which was merely to
suppress conspiracies for infracting the
rights of sister States. He did not know
his colleague was engaged in such things,
but his constituents had endorsed them
and ministers had preached sermons holding
up John Brown as martyr.
Mr.. Farnsworih repeated that Mr.. Doug
las proposed to pass Slave Code for the
protection of Sla7ery wherever it exists,
notwithstanding the Douglas Democracy in
Illinois had declared Slavery a mere local
and muricipalinstitution. That IS the mis-
erale sophistry and position of the men
his colleague, Mr.. Logan, worships. 1t
