Dougiasism.
We quoted from the keokuk Journal, the
Dubuque Herald, and Douglas himself, three
distinct, diverse and irreconcilable positions
as to slavery in the Territories. The Jour
nal, instead OF attempting TO defend or recon-
cile these positions, adds still another varia.
ton quoted from Douglass Magazine arti-
Gle. We did not need the aid Of the Journal
to expose the inconsistencies of Doug lasism,
but We tender it our thanks for this new in
stance OF "irrepressible conflict" In senti-
ments Of Douglas and his followers.
By the way, Senator Benjamin says, with
much show Of truth, that Douglas stole Linz
coln's thunder In the position and argument
quoted by the Journal.
