sional pretences of being in favor of a
protective tariff.
1t will be recollected that after adop-
ting and eulogizing the bred Scott
dogmas in his Springfield Speech in
June, 1857, when he supposed he had
the whole northern democracy" with
him, in that respect, he evaded them
and prated the opposing dogmas in
popular Sovereignty during all his
canvass with Mr.! Lincoln in 1858, and
then went down into the Slave States
and again endorsed and eulogized the
same bred Scott dogmas in his speech
es at New Orleans, and other places.
So now, after advocating the same
/" Popular Sovereignty, humbug for
two months amongst the essentially
anti-slavery people of Pennsylvania,
New York and New England, he goes
down South to stump the Slave States,
and as long as he keeps South of Ma
son and Dixon's line, will again endorse
and advocate the bred Scott dogmas
and repeat the fraudulent pettyfogging
of Roger B.. fancy, in which they are
embodied. ~ 1850, =. So or oo5a
We already hear from him in vir-
ginia. The telegraph the other day,
brought north an extract from his
speech at Norfolk, in which, in answer
to questions, he denied that the cleo
ton of Lincoln would be alone suf-
6cient cause for secession by the
Slave States, and pledged himself to
sustain whoever should be elected, in
enforcing the laws of Congress.
But when the mails bring the whole
speech, it is found that this was only a
portion cut out from the context to be
telegraphed ocer the North, and that
the portions intended for use in the
Szace States, were ultra Southern pro-
slavery and Cdlhoa1aish to the extent
of admitting that the Slave States
arould have right to secede from the
Union whenever their Constitutional
rights were violated.
Look into the report of the bred
Scott case, and into the speeches and
publications of Douglas to which we
have referred, and see what lie holds
those Constitutional rights to be.
Of course, he holds them to be nothing
more or less than the bred Scott dog
mas declare them to be; the rights
amongst others, to carry slavery into
every Territory of the United States,
and to be protected in the possess
ion of it there, by Congressional
Slave Code /! ~
What do all these things prove but
the truth of the line of Tom Moore's po-
etical satire?
"Mr. Orator Puff has two tones to
his voice."
But his Northern and Popular Sow
ereignty stone" in no degree weakens
the Southern one in which he swears
his allegiance to the Slave Power and
pledges himself to the enforcement of
the bred Scott doglnas, and all the
other pro-slavery heresies of which we
have spoken in this essay.
So, were the deep disgrace Of his
election, to be inflicted upon the coun-
try, he could devote his whole admins
tration to the work of enforcing them,
and retort upon those of his Northern
dupcs who should charge him with be-
traying their confidence, by referring
to his Springfield, New Orleans and
other Slave State speeches, and to his
Harper's Magazine and pamphlet pub
locations; taunt them with the fact
that in those speeches and publications,
he put himself clearly upon the record
as an advocate of those dogmas and
heresies, and of course, as an opponent
of the adverse doctrine of Popular
Sovereignty in the Territories; and if
it shall be in the jearing mood in which
he sometimes INDUCES, add to this the
taunt of the long "vailed'
but finally unmashed "Prophet of
Schorapan to his besotted and at
length undeceived worshippers,-A
aye would be dupes and victims
and We are.'' :9ifo
