He referred somewhat in detail to the political
record Of John Bell, I'm order 10 show his utter
Inconsistency. To sustain himself in the assertion
that Mr.. Bell was inclined to abolitionism, he

by him in the Halls Of Congress on various prop

Hew particularly severe upon Mr. Douglas

the leader he would be willing to spare the rank
and file, for be thought they had been msled-
deluded. He denounced the doctrine of 50 uatter
sovereignty most fatal to the best interests of
the South. What was Ii in effect Why Just
this; Mr.. Douglas says "Stand back, Mr. Lincoln,
this pill Of abolitisnism which you are giving to
the south is too bitter too unpaiatable to Southern
throats; but let me sugar II with coat of popular
sovereignty; so they get 1t into their stomachs.
You know the result Is about the same.
As he supposed there were no sympathizers with

mocracy of the District to be Jealous i'm the great

October, commenced the delivery Of a very In
teresting speech. He regarded the Constitution
Of the United States as In imminent danger. Il

come what might, he did not intend to permit,
as Tar as he could prevent 1t, any attempt to over

small potatoes anyhow. Laughter III he Is
giant, he 10 but a little giant. tLaughter.l In
his county he didn't think he had more than six
