would forfeit his self-respect. He knew of
10 other Democratic party than the party
which nominated Douglas, and if the Conven-
ton at Charlottesville will come back, like
stray sheep returning TO the fold and ask tor
forgiveness, he would receive them. They
have thrown this fire-brand into our midst,

Stephen A. Douglas, the statesman who has
manfnliy stood up for the rights of the South,
and has successfully breasted the flood Of
Ab0li ti0nism.
