II this is what the Gazesx calls dodg-
ing this question on the 18th Of Fsbru-
airy, when Mr.. Douglas voted twice on
the same day-olce in favor Of pre-
clsely similar ,uetion as the one on
which he did not vote, and once against
setting aside the Homestead Bill, then
every friend Of the Homestead measure
NAV at some time have lodged 1t.
The next pretended statement from
the record, viz:
Agais, on the came day. when : vote VA
taken to keep the Homestead bill before the
Senate. (page lO76) Mr.. Hamlin voted yea ;

is wilfuIly and deliberately false. DOUG
LAS voted YEA.
And the following reference to the
| ccord is q gross and Infamous misrepre-
seutation of Mr.. Douglas:
! Again. on the 25th Of February. (pags 362]
Mr.. Doolittle moved to postpone the bill for the
acquisition of Cubs, aud take up the Home'
stesd bill, and upon this motion Mr. Hsmhn
voted yss; Douglas vstsd VOTED rssisrring
"liggsrs for the niggerlsss" to LANDS Tor the
landles"
Tho record shows that on February
25th, the Homestead bill, being the pri'
or order of the hour, Mr.. SlidelI moved
to postpone all prior orders for the pur.
pose of taking up the Cuba Bill.
DOUGLAS voted NAY.-Cbngressionol
Globe, page 1926.
The motion of Mr.. SlidelI was agreed
to, and Mr.. Doolittle moved to post
pone the Cuba bill and take up the
Homestead bill, pending which motion
Mr.. Douglas spoke as follows:
| 81 think it unwise in the friends of the Home
stead Bill to occupy time by crossing motions in
this way, and thus defeating the Bill. The right
way now to pass the Homestead Bill, and the oal,
| chance it has is, to stand By the Cuba Bill until
we get through with it, then take up the Home
stead Bill and 60 through With it. VOTED re
! GIVE THB HOMESTEAD BILL PRIORITY OVER TIL
CUBA BILL. BUT THIS BEING UP AS FRIEND OF
THE HOMESTEAD MEASURE l THINK THE sURRs1
| WAY TO PASS 1T Is TO STAND BY THIS BILL UNTIL
! VIZ DISPOSE OF 1T, AND THEN TAKE UP THE HOME
| STEAD BILL"
Consequently he voted against the
motion of Mr.. Doolittle, preterring
LAND TO THE LANDLESS to MIG.
GERS FOR THE NIaGERLEss. What an
| atrocious perversion Of the record is
the pretended record of the Gazette!
On the 9Th Of April. ON motion to postp one
the Homestead Bill for the Indian Appropris'
ton Bill, Mr.. Hamlin voted nay. and Dougla.

On the tenth Of May. on . motion to substi.
tuts the House Bill for that Of the Senate,
Hamlin voted yea.-Gasette.
The Gazette would leave it to be in.

the fact is he did vote Cong

In reference to HAML1N's VoTE on the
10th Of May AGAINST the Homestead
Bill, which every friend Of the Home.
stead measure voted for, the Gazette
says:
And he did vote against it. while those Re-
publicans who voted for it did so under pro-
test. Douglas lodged.
This is is false. DOUGLAS VOTED FOR

Senator from Illinois, and the Senator
from Alabama (Mr. Clay we're paired
off on this question before, and it is so
understood Congregational Globe
lst Session, 80 Congress, page 1912.
Clay of Alabama did not vote on the
Goth of May nor on the final vote.
Dare the Gazette again make the as.
sertion that Douglas DoDGED the Homo
stead question at the last session of Con-
gross We have now PROVED that as
settion to be a ,cilful falsehood, and we
have PROVED that the Gazette has at
tempted an Infamous fraud, and hase
imposition, by publishing - true = 1alse
record. Out on such shameless polit,c: !
prostitution.
