The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1860-11-22

We last week gave an account of
the insult to Douglas, by being pelted
with rotton eggs, at Montgomery, Ala
bama, on the occasion of his recent
campaign visit to that city. Since
then we find the following account of
the affair, taken from the Southern
Co'.federacy, paper printed at Mont
gomery, and. whose editor was in the
carriage with Mr.. Douglas at the time.
It will be recollected that during Mr..
Douglas recent campaign he once or
twice took occasion to repeat and give
credit to the foolish statement that Mr..
Lincoln wished to but dare not visit the
graves of his parents in Kentucky.
His object in referring to the story, was
to show from it that Mr.. Lincoln's po-
litical opinions must be wrong, be-
cause he could not travel safely in the
South. He used it to sustain his form
err assumption, tina. any political faith
must be wrong, because he could not
be safely advocated in all parts Of the
country, and in doing so he Of course
assumed that Southern mob would
be justified in lynching Mr.. Lincoln on
account of his principles. e
The man who thus stood up and in
vited the Infatuated rabble of the South
to mob Republicans, little thought that
on his first trip thereafter to the South,
his plan of testing the soundness of
of mems political faith would BE- ap-
piled, not to Abraham Lincoln, in Ken
lucky, but to Stephen A. Douglas, in
Georgia. Not to an "Abolitionist,"
as he habitually terms Mr. Lincoln, but
to "National Democrat" as he de-
lights to call himself The following
is the extract alluded to above:
"SENAToR DOUGLAS RECEPTION IN
ALABAMA.-A gentleman, and mem
Der of the Breckenridge party, informs
us that he was present when Judge
Douglas arrived in Montgomery from
Columbus on the night of the 1st of
November. This gentleman says
Whose statement has been corroborat-
ed by half-a-dozen witnesses that
when Judge Douglas alighted from the
carriage to ascend the steps of the Ex-
change Hotel, Montgomery, that there
were three rotton eggs thrown. The
first egg struck Colonel Seibles, editor
of The Confederdcy, the second egg
struck Colonel Gilmore, and the third
egg struck the hat of Judge Douglas
bursted and discharged its contents IN
the face Of his aoiffe, who stood immedi
ately on his left. These are the facts
as detailed to us by several gentlemen
who witnessed the disgusting affair"
We find no justification for SO beast
ly an outrage az this. 1t would dis
grace Hottentot village. The pres
ence of an amiable and worthy lady in
all truly civilized communities is suffi
cient to restrain the worst passions
Bat so far as Mr.. Dougles is concerned
we think he has little to complain Of
He has repeatedly winked at and even
encouraged far greater outrages than
that-with the only difference that the
victims were his political opponents
This outrage is just as much worse thar
those he has approved, as he is bet
ter man than the hundreds who have
for years past been the subjects O
Souther violence. How much that is
the reader can Judge for himself. 81

The unfortunate Territory of Kansas,
whose people, from 1854 to 1859, plead
to us for protection from political op.
preston, now pleads to US for bread.
Many of her people are actually now
suffering for the comforts of life, and
unless relief is sent them, not only will
they suffer for the bare necessities of
life, but starve to death
Their political troubles were followed
by the sad effects of the general finan-
cial revulsion of 1857, which did not
fairly reach them till 1858, and, owing
to their location and peculiar circum-
stances, bore down upon them more
severely than on any other part of the
country. They hoped to recover them
selves from the impoyerishing effects
of that crisis, by an abundant harvest
the past season, and labored hard last
Spring to get in good crops. The seed
they sowed sprang up, bat then came
drouth that has never had an equal
for its scorching hot weather and its
entire absence of moisture. The burn
ing sun dried up the soil--not drop
of rain fell all the Summer-and the
fields of young grain were literally
burned up. The consequence was a
total failure of everything that grows
from the ground. Though possessing
a soil that is unequalled in richness and
productiveness, yet this year, the great
err portions of Kansas produced not
enough to feed one quarter of her peo-
pie.
These unfortunate people come to us
now asking for help. "Help us, or we
will starve "We are beggars un-
willingly, reluctantly, but our wives
"and children cry for bread. Help us!''
We have seen strong and honest
hearted men, who came direct from the
Territory, and have heard them tell
the terrible story of their sufferings and
their desperate prospects, with tears in
their eyes = weeping, with bursting
hearts, like little children! Let us help
these needy people. For sweet Chair
ty's' sake, for Humanity's sake, let us
do all we can for them. The sufferers
number from $4,000 to 10000 souls
and since we here-the States of the
Northwest : have plenty and to
spare" let us not be deaf to their ear
nest pleadings.
The Winter is close at hand. Nc
time is to be lost. God, in his good
Providence, has blessed us with pros
perity. Shall we hesitate to give al
that we can for our impoverished, dis
tressed and starving fellow men an6
women of Kansas? No, no! Let u.
at once divide with them our clothing
our food and our money, and thank Goo
that he has saved as from the visitation
under which they are suffering, and
given us the ability to relieve them !

The Mayor to-day notified agents of
Northern steamship lines that he would

1t has heretofore been stated that the
subject of an address was under Exc

There was considerable discussion
in the Senate, to-day, on the motion re-
ferring the million dollars appropriation
bill for arms and ammunition to the FL
nance Committee. The bill provides
that the money be subject to the con-
troll of the Governor. Many Senators
object to the placing of the sword and
purse in the same hands, when the pro-
posed reference failed. The bill will
proceed in regular order, and will pass.
A bill was introduced suspending the
collection of debts until 1861, which
was laid over.
A resolution was introduced giving
power to the Governor in case of Fed
eral coeration being employed against
a seeding State, to employ the effectu-
al military resources of Georgia to re-

CARL sCHURz AT SAINT LOUIS
A GREAT SPEECH.

Carl Schurz made speech q ST. Louis
Wednesday night, that will add even TO
the brllllancy OF his reputation as an ora
tor. He spoke ut very great length, and
is fully reported in the Democrat We
have room Tor only few striking passages.
He opened the subject rs follows:
MIR. PRESIDENT AND GExrLEMAx:-To
deny the existence of an evil they do not
mean to remedy, 10 ascribe to paItry causes
the origin OF great problems they do not
mean to solve, to churgc those who define
the nature of an existing difficulty, with
having originated it-thcse are the expc-
dients which tue opponents of reformutory
movements have resOrtcdto since mankind
has history. An appeal to ignorance or
timidity is their last hope, when all re-
sources of logic and argument are ex-
hausted. The old comedy ia rHneat"h rai,,
anu again.
The assertions that the great contest
between free and slave labor has no foun-
datiOn in fact, that the origin of the slavery
controversy is to be found in the tanati-
cism of IL few Northern Aboliliouists and
that those who speak of au ''irrepressible
conflict" are to be made responsible for
Its cxistence-these form the nrgumenta-
tive staple OF those who possess either not
sagacity enough to discern, or not courage
enough to state facts RS they are.
Speaking of
