that a slave owner could be kept out
hy untricndly territorial legislation
then he denied in the Senate that pop
ular sovereignty was his measure at
all next he boasted that under his
great principle New Mexico had be-
come slave territory E; shortly after
ward he accepted a platform which
surrendcrs the matter to the Supreme
Court; now he comes back and claims
here III the North, that the Nebraska
bill gives the people Of the territories
/ sovereign power over the subject.
irolonged laughter. He las, in
truth, changed ofteucr than | have
SO atcd ; for the number is so great
that have forgotten half dozen Of
them. Laughter have heard be-
tore that some men were turn-coats :
but this man has turned his coat, pam
falcons, and every rag of principle
about him. Roars of laughter.
II. '. Johnson declares that capital
should own its labor Abe Lincoln
has been himself a laborcr, and don't
think so. Cheers. And you, farm
crs and mechanics, don't think so 7:
and no decent white man thinks SO
and 10 white man should vote for a
candidate who does. Prolonged
cheering
Richard Oglcsby was the next to
take the speakers stand. We give
one or two extracts from his speech
One reason why | won't vote for
Douglas is, his former abuse of CLAY.
l have heard him call that great man
a horsc-raccr, a gambler, u duclist, an
ahoIItIonlst, receiver Of brides, an
Infamous drmagoguc. Kisses and
groans for Douglas. Now he is i'm
pndent enough to go about preaching
funeral sermons over the dead states
man. But his slanders of Clay alive
were as nothing to his ISLANDERS of
Clay dead. He has lately gone 50 far
as to say that the principles advoca-
ted 10y the iIlustriOus kcntnckian were
the same as his. Cheers and laugh
ter. can never forgive him for that.
Loud applause.
have heard many people call
( NouglaS smart but | never heard
one call him. honest. Laughter
DID ever any man here to-day Vo-
citcrous cries of "No7l All men
say SD Of our good Old Abe. Cheers. !
/ Here is u difference between the two
men which think of some import
ancc. 1t should have weight at the
polls and it will. Applause.
came myself from slave State
Poor white girls washed there all day
over hot and steaming tub, and un.
der blazing sun, for ten cents dav.
I Cries of That's fact; | saw such
things" And why was this ? Simp-
y because negro wench, equally
strong, could be hired for that price
In kentucky | was a lahoring man.
hired out for six dollars a month
Why couldn't | get more? Because
a negro man, Of equal physical
strength, could be hired for SD per
year. He could be fed on coarscr
food than |, and would be submissive
Vast numbers Of slaves are thus hired
out, and fully their number of poor
white men are driven to the wall or
banishcd by slave competition from
the land Of their birth. Do you want
snch an institution in your territories !!
Cries Of :" No; no."
Who ever heard Republican
preaching disunion? More than hall
the Democratic members of the pres
cnt Congress are rank disuniouists.
The Douglas men were determined to
have one on THEN ticket. They nomi-
mated one in the person of Fitzpat-
rick. He refused to run. Then they
nominated another in the person of
johnson. Laughter. Jim Allen
and Bombastcs Bustamento Sancho
Panza Ficklm rcvile the Republicans
because they have incorporated in
their national platform part of the
Declaration of Independence. Now,
what old Black Republican was the
author Of that Declaration? One
Thomas Jefferson. Cheers. Did
any Of my Democratic friends ever
hear Of such man? Laughter. !
IN American citizen ashamed Of any
thing in that Declaration would be
ashamed to look his wife in the face :
and she ought to be ashamed to look
on him. Luproarious applause. !
From Mr.. Lovcjoy's speech we take
the following
The ancient poets relate that men
have been turned into stones, trees,
fishes, birds, and animals. This, of
course, was a monStfous absurdtv ::
but not more monstrons or absurd
than for an old line Wing to turn mod.
ern Democrat. Applause. Wings
were for prohibition of slavery Dem
ocrats were formerly for it. Now.
would say to them in the language of
Paul, Therefore, brethren, give the
more earnest heed lest at any time We
make slip" Laughter The De-
mocracy have let all their sound old
principles slip. No man changed to
become Republican. He was op-
posed to slavery extension, and he
continued to be SO. That is all.
Mr.. Allen told of the Douglas wing
of the Democracy. He admits, then,
that there are two wings. Both, how
ever, belong to the same carton bird.
Applause. Douglas destroyed pro-
hibition--why? Simply to illustrate
my great principle" And some OF
his friends tell us that freedom can
now increase just as fast as before
What would you think of quack
who should break your child's leg,
and ask you to employ him to set it,
just to illustrate great principle he
had OF bone-sctting, by which broken
bones became just as good as before ?
Great laughter
see in Imagination $4,000 people
in a territory trying to exercise popu-
lar sovereignty. They elect an anti
slavery Legislature, and its legislation
is unfriend!y to slavery. They think
Douglas meant what he said at Free,
