Ahigh Compliment from a Republican
to Mr.. Douglas

The Boston Traueller, leading
Republican paper, in speaking of
him, says that in his contest in
1858 che won the greatest personal
political victory known in our his
tory" In reviewing his political
career the same paper says:
Thus he has had eighteen years
of Senatorial life conferred upon
him, and six of that of Representa-
tive, beside having held half doz-
en- other offices, though he is now
only forty-seven years old. Should
he be elected President, his con-
gressional career will have covered
exactly eighteen years, fourteen of
which will belong to his Senatori-
al history. 1t is seldom that the
life of any man presents 80 much OF
success, in so short a time as we
fndin the twenty six years that have
passed away since his majority was
completed. AS general thing this
success has not been undeserved; if
we look only at the intellectual side
of things. Mr.. Douglas probably
has no intellectual superior among
the statesmen and politicians of the
United States. His speeches and
writings are strong, clear, precise
and logical. lie has participated
in all the great Congressional de-
bates of the last seventeen years,
not to speak of his enormous labors
con the stump" and in conventions
and caucusses. Rarely has it been
his lot to be beaten. He was more
than a match for Mr.. Webster in
1850, when that illustrious mar
endeavored to show that the De.
mocracy were responsible for thc
pro-slavery character Of the Gov
ernment.

/ $4,000 Reward.

We will freely give the above re-
ward for the name of any man living
in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wiscon-
sin or Iowa, whom the Republicans
will certify to be a genuine, true
blue abolitionist. A few years ago
all parties in the land were free to
admit-not only admit, but con-
denim and execrate the fact that
certain men were abolitionists.-
According to republican authority
there are no abotittohists in any of
these States now. Lovejoy was once
dispised by all classes of decent
men for a foul negro thief. Heran
for Congress and received about
thirty votes. He is the nominee
of the Republican party (of course
not aboIitionis0 by acclamation.-
Lovejoy is not an abolitionist now;
oh! no he is a republican. Hold
ing the identical views now, that
he has for years, he has ceased to
be an abolitionist in the estimation
of this bring-government-b t-back-to
first principles party and becomes
q star republican. So it is with
the whole race of abolitionists.-
Their tracks are lost. They do not
find it necessary to run an abolition
candidate now. Wonderful Henry
Clay followers! Beautiful conser-
vatism! Fine way to bring every
thing back to the principles of the
fathers! Lovejoy, Giddings, Hale,
Sumner, Trumbul, Oglesby, Wade,
Schurz, and a little fellow in this
town that we heard say that a mig
ger was as good as q white man
we would like to see this crowd all
standing in a row dressed up in the
old "continentals" of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Hancock and
others of the fathers, and bring the
government back to first principles,
to wit: that ga white man is as
good as niger"
Our offer at the head of this ar
ticle is standing one. We will
give it freely just to see q man who
is so doubly distilled black that
the republicans will admit that he
is an abolitionist. Who takes p

nA.A few days since one of our

from gentleman in a neighboring

had been misplaced or lost, adding
by way of description. "The trunk

ter careful inspection of all the

mature deliberation thereupon, we
are of the opinion that both ends

Who made Kansas Free.

The Toledo Herald and Times
say to Democrats who are in favor
of heprinciples of self government,
ask your Republican neighbors who
made Kansas free? Ask them who
it was that prevented Congress in
the exercise of Sovereign power
over the territories from forcing
Kansas into the Union as a Slave
State? And then who it was that
defeated the "Lecompton fraud"
Ask them whoit was that secured
to the people of Kansas the right to
make their own Constitution and
enact their own laws? Ask them
if, when Douglas was battling
against overwhelming odds, against
an Administration that he himself
helped to place in power, against
every branch of the government,
against all the patronage of the
President, for the right of the peo-
pie of Kansas to decide the question
of slavery for themselves, they did
not approve of his course, and laud
him for his courage and fidelity?-
Ask them if he does not stand now
precisely where he stood then?-
And ask them what he has done
since this noble act of heroism in
defeating the stupendous fraud at
tempted to be perpetrated upon the
people of Kansas, to forfeit their
confidence. Tell them he is the
same gallant Douglas, standing be-
fore the people as the representa-
tive of the great principle for which
he so nobly and fearlessly contend
ed in the memorable Lecompton
struggle. Ask them if they are in
favor of surrounding the territories
and the people thereof" to the
supreme control of Congress! and
if they are not, but believe that the
people of the territories are as ca.
pable of self-government as aretht
people of the State, and tell then
that STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS il
the great advocate of this doctrine
of "self government" and that fol
defending this right of the people
he is persecuted by a faithless Pres
ident. Tell them that the republican
party are in league with the Presi
dent, to defeat the man who rescu
ed the people of Kansas from tn,
clutches of the slavery propagand
lists, and prove it to them by read
ing from the Republican papers tn
glowing accounts of the progres
and strength of the Yaneey-Breck
inridge party. Ask your republi
can neighbors all these question
and keep asking them, and you will
secure for Douglas the support 0
every honest Republican who i
not SO blinded by partisan preju
dice that no evidence of his erro
will change his opinions. Keel

who believes that the people ar

Free Homes"

The record of Hamlin against the
homestead bill troubles the Black
Republicans. Mr.. President said
he, in the speech he delivered on
the Goth of July, 1854, "from an
examination of this measure I have
found myself unable to support it
in any of the aspects in which it
has been presented to the Senate.
I speak of original bill. I see
no sound principle ofpolitical econ
omy upon which such a measure
can be based. I think there is
none. At least there is none which
carries conviction to my Judg-
ment."
