More of Douglass Consistency.

Ies- DOUGLAS has always been an
ti-protection man, and voted to break
down the tariff of 1912, the repeal of
which gave death blow to the maui
featuring interests of the country. AS
late rs 1855, on a proposition for new
tariff he used the following language in
the Senate
am for reduction Of the tariff toa strict req
enue standard. ! am FREE TRADE MAN IN THE
FULLEST EXTENT that we can carry it, and at the
same time collect revenue enough to defray the
expenses of the Government. In other words
am for no other kind of tariff than a revenue
tariff"
But recently Mr.. DOUGLAS was in
Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania as all
know, demands protection for her man
ufacturing interests. Mr.. DOUGLAS there
fore, did not dare to talk free trade in
that State, but carrying out the doctrine
which he has evidently adopted, of be-
ing all things to all men in order to gain
proselytes, he very suddenly, on his re-
cent visit to Harrisburg, becomes an adj
vocate fProtection, and discourses thus

The Don't Care Doctrine.

Gg Democratic leaders know full
we'll that the popular mind in the north
western States overwhelming repudiates
any affinity with the system of slavery
that the popular heart does not respond
to appeals in its favor-that the popular
voice will condemn the man who is in
different 20 it. They know that the cause
Of free labor is the cause of the working
man of the North, and that he who is in
different to the triumph of free labor, is
against the workingman's interests.-
Hence, while they have been supporting
Southern pretensions-while they have
been acquiescing in, and endeavoring to
crafty, Southern demands, they have
gone to the people Of the North with
strong sentences Of devotion to the inter-
ests Of white labor-professing anti. sla-
very sympathics and feelings--claimirg
that their doctrines, even beyond the
doctrines of the fathers, would be instru-
mental in advancing the cause Of free
dom. This is still the pretension. Dem.
ocratic speakers in this county have got
ten up before their audiences and claim
ed TO be AS good anti-slavery men as any
body-claimed that their doctrine Of
Squatter Sovereignty will further free la
Dor triumphs above and beyond any 9th
CIR doctrine. And 1t is only because men
forget to read or to reason-it is only
because men are credulous enough to
take words for facts, that the Democrat
ic party is enabled to sustain even a
shadow Of an organization here. Did
Douglas leaders here, as did Mr.. DOUG
LAS in the United States Senate, boast
that Non Intervention has given to
slavery degree and half more terri
tory than il had ever asked-did they
boast, as he boosted, that a tract of free
territory, five times as large as the State
of New York, had, through the opera
ton Of popular sovereignty, been CONVEX
ted into Stare terrilory-did they suggest,
rs Mr.. DOUGLAS sug gested, that the same
doctrine would give to slavery all the
northern States Of Mexico when acquired
did they talk such talk as this in Blu
chanan County, they would not have a
corpoi ais guard of followers. This Ian
guage they have carefully covered up.
and claimed, not with Mr.. DoUGLAs, that
slavery had advanced, and would adj
vance, under the doctrine of popular
sovereignty, but that the cause of free
dom would be advanced by that doctrine
So, likewise, they are endeavoripg to
cover up Mr.. DoucLAs's declaration as

Clay and Douglas.

Gk' HENRY CLAY, 1t Will be we'll re-
membered, held steadfast to the position,
throughout the stormy debate upon the
Compromise measures of 1850, that the
Territory derived from Mexico was free
territory-that slavery nowhere existed
within it, or was likely to exist within
it. The second resolution of the series
submitted by him to the Senate on the
29th of January, 1859, contained these
words:
Cd. RESOLVED, That as slavery does
not exist by law, and is not likely to be
introduced into any Of the territory ac-
CURED by the United States from the
Republic of Mexico, it is inexpedient for
Congress to provide by law either for its
introduction into, or exclusion from, any
part of the said territory.
In discussing these resolutions, Mr..
CLAY also held the following language
q" So long as God allows the vital current to
flow through my veins, will never, never
ncver-by word or act--by mind or will-aid
in admitting one rood of free territory to the
everlasting curse of human bondage
Mr.. CLAY was determined to do moth.
ing which he thought would advance the
cause of slavery. He, like Mr. WEBSTER,
held that slavery could not go into Utah
and New Mexico, and it was therefore
superhuous to apply the Wilmot Proviso
to those territories" re -enacting," as
Mr.. WEBSTER expressed it, the law OF
God" 1t was not because the restriction
was unconstitutional or unjust, but be-
cause it was unnecessary. No power,
Mr.. CLAY says, could ever induce him
to open up one rood of free territory to
the everlasting curse of human bondage

the Democratic party upon Mr.. CLAY,

What is to be Done with the Negroes,


GS- On the outside of to days paper,
will be found an extract from a speech
of Hon. j. R. DooLIrTLE, of Wisconsin.
dealing with this question. 1t is ques-
ton that is coming 10 be discussed, and
doubtless will receive constantly increas-
ing attic ntion. The New Orleans P,cay-
ane recently contained calculation as to
the probable increase of the slave popu-
lation of the South, in which the conclu-
sion is arrived at that within the life
time OF many persons now living, it will
reach sixty millions of souls Should
the present proportion of owners and
slaves continue, when the slaves reach
sixty millions, the masters will number
but five millions. Will it be possible to
keep these sixty millions of beings in
subsection ? Will the difficulties Of this
slavery problem be less for our children :?
We must remember that there is con-
slant stream of Anglo Saxon blood going
into the veins of the slave population,
bleaching goodly proportion of that
population, infusing Anglo Saxon intel
ligence, energy and love of liberty into
it. Density of population will give them
confidence and strength. Their num-
bers will drive out the non slave holding
whites, who will have no place in this
grand system of forced labor. And then
how long will it be before the five mill
ions of masters will find themselves un-
able to WELD the sceptre of authority =?
THOMAS JEFFERSON looked deeply into
this matter, and pointed out method Of
solving the problem. His solution was
that of emancipation and deportation.
Undoubtedly, as Mr.. DooLIrrLE points
out, the great difficulty in the way of
Emancipation is the prejudice of the ra-
ces. Equally free-having an equality
of rights-they cannot exist in the same
government. The good of both demands
their separation, and when it is apparent
that that separation can be consummated,
the work Of emancipation will go forward
but can scarcely be consum-
mated unless facilities for that separation
are provided. Possessed of the Ameri- |
can tropics-for whose cultivation white
men are inadequate by nature-under
the care and guidance of the United
States, the Africans of this country
might and doubtless would, build up a !
civilized and christian State,
one whose commerce would largely re-
pay US for our fostering care. Instead
Of paying hundreds of millions of dollars
for Cuba and her slaves, wiser policy
would be TO provide this outlet. With
such outlet and through the influence of
the Republican policy of free homesteads,
and slavery prohibition from the terrific
ries, the desired consummation would be
reached-Slavery would be placed where
the public mind would rest sure of its
ultimate extinction.

TOT Une OuaTulan.
Mr.. RICH, Dear Sir:-I noticed in
the last number of your paper, COM
munication, signed A Republican, in
which he states, that |, at Democratic
meeting at Brush College, in Jefferson
Township, in this County, said that ere
pubicans were liars and l could prove
it," and that Douglas had never said
that be did not care whether slavery was
! voted up or down, and that the man that
said it ought to be knocked down, and
requested his Democratic friends to do
it," Now Mr.. Editor | am we'll salts
fed who wrote that communication, and
| did suppose from my slight acquain-
lance with the character of the man, and
his profession, that he would not willful-
ly misrepresent even political enemy.
l did not state generally, that Republi-
cans were liars and could prove it, nei-
Their did advise my Democratic frie nds
to knock Republicans down, as the wr-
ter states. did state that the masses Of
Republicans were honest, but that l be.
lieved that they were mistaken and de-
ceived-but that l had no confidence in
their leaders, and in speaking of certain
garbled extracts of Douglass speeches
quoted by Republican speakers and pub
lished in Republican papers, aud there
by attrlbuting certain sentiments to
Douglas, they, the leaders did lie and
could prove it. | stated further to my
Democratic friends, that when thew heard
any Republican stating that Douglas had
said, in speaking of the abstract ques-
ton of slavery, that he did not care
whether they, the people in the territor-
les, voted it up or down, they could pro-
nounce it false and that if the lie was
given back TO them they might, if they
choose to do so, knock the man down
but that | advised them to do so, | most
emphatically deny-and in answer to a
question by the Rev. David Champlin, if
that was Democratic doctrine and | adj
vised them to do sol answered no.
Now in conclusion, Mr.. Editor, | would
state that have no objection to having
any statement | may make published,
provided it is fairly done-but | do OBJ
ject to being misrepresented. Permit
me to refer my friend to the 11th (?) COM
mandment, Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbor." If the
writer will act in accordance to that
principle shall not object to any COM
he may write, either for pub
lie or private perusal

Wha! has become of the Tribunes

1s- On the 18th of September, CARL
ScHURz Of Wisconsin delivered speech
at Coopers Institute, N. Y, which was
confined mainly to areview of Mr.. DoUe-
LAS, and which was one Of the most COM
plete and whitening criticisms that the
Little Joker ever received. The New
DIRK Evening Post, speaking OF it, says
1t was the general opinion that the Small
clant never appeared SO small as he did last
night, and when he came out of the fiery or
deal OF the Germans logic, the OK which his ad-
hllrers roasted at Jones Wood was not half so
wen roasted as he, for that innocus animal was
only done brown on the surface, while his illus
tflous patron, besides undergoing the culinary
process, was turned inside out and done on
both sides AS the hungry mob of the barbe-
cue IN fact, tore IN pieces the flesh and pick
"a the bones OF the carcass, so this merciless
ieuton laeerated the political body of Douglas
leaving scarcely enough of it to fatten the next
cornheld. HIS friends, We fear, will be going
about the city this morning, trying to find out
what has become of him"
The speech was published in the N.
\, Tribune, and having read it else
where, we sought on coming home, for
a copy of the Tribune containing it,
Our daily containing it, we could not
find, and inquiry, we learn that the semi

Douglass Record.

ES- Since we published our articles
on the record Of Mr. DOUGLAS, showing,
as we did distinctly, that Mr.. DOUGLAS
has been on all sides of the slavery ques-
ton, and now occupies SO uncertain a
position that it is difficult TO know where
he really does stand, we have had several
reviewers, who, through the columns Of
the Civilian, have been accusing us of
unfairness, of falsehood, DC. Each, how
ever, takes very particular care to avoid
making an attempt to show wherein we
misrepresented Mr.. DOUGLAS, or to meet
the proof which we adduced TO sustain
each assertion made by US. One man,
according to the Civilian editor, offers to
bet that he can find forty lies in one OF our
articles another assumes that because
We considered, as we stated, that some of
his arguments and assertions were SO
transparent that they needed no word
from US TO expose them, that we admit
led the faisly Of our charges. That is
certainly cool assumption. If a person
should call E. NJ an Indian or an AT
rican, and he, knowing his color was
sufficient evidence to the contrary, ne-
elected TO make denial, that neglect,
according to "E. Ms" logic, would be
a tacit acknowledgment that the charge
was true. Does he not see that his rea-
sonng is absurd
Let us review the points Il little. Dem
ocrats talk much OF Mr.. DOUGLASS de-
yotion to principe-of his lifelong de-
yotion TO the doctrine of non -interyen-
iion-(a doctrine, by Ike way, never
heard Of until after CAss wrote his NIcH-
OLSON letter in 1848.) To prove that
they had no right to claim for Mr.. DoUG-
LAS lengthy or consistent adherence to
principle, we showed that in January,
ie45, Mr.. DOUGLAS introduced an amend
ment to The joint resolution for the an
nexation OF Texas, providing that in
such State or States as may be formed
out of said territory north of said Mis-
souri, COMPROMISE line, slavery or inyol-
untary servitude-except for crime
shall be prohibited" We showed that
in February, 1847, he offered an amend
ment 10 the Three Million Bill" pro-
Siding that in such territory as should
be derived from Mexico, north Of $3.50,
slavery should be prohibited. We show
ed that when he introduced the bill for
the organization Of the Territory of Or
egon, it contained a provision prohibit
Ing slavery, and that the bill passed with
that clause in it, We showed that in
i849, he declared the Missouri restriction,
prohibiting slavery north Of $3.50, a.
" sacred thing" We showed that in
1853, when he introduced the first bill
for the organization Of Kansas and Ne
braska, he was still in favor Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and did not propose
it's repeal. These facts were stated by US
clearly, and the exact language of the
amendments and provisions given. Why
don't these gentlemen, who accuse us Of
lying. come forth with the proof that we
have misquoted or misrepresented ? Will

Notw outstanding the report that Mr.. Doug
las, in a speech in 1874, called Mr. Clay +" an
old black hearted traitor" has proven a forgery,
Republican papers still continue TO circulate
the SANDER. We notice the Guardian, last
week published the same thing. Mr.. Wood
son, who was Mr.. Douglass opponent at that
time, and who spoke from the same stump
comes out in card in which he utterly denies
that Mr. Douglas used anysueh language.
Gs- On the outside Of to-day's paper
our readers will find Mr.. WoopsoN's let
ter, and they can read lily see how much
of a denial he gives to the charge. He
distinctly says that DOUGLAS did use
substantially the words quoted, viz that
81 denounced him in the Congress OF
the United States, and | denounced him,
as a traitor an old black hearted traitor"
lie says, however, that lie does not rec
oIlect that DOUGLAS charged Mr.. CLAY
with being "t the first Am erican states
man who ever attempted 10 sell his coun-
try for British gold" But the reader
will not be slow to believe that a man
who could call Mr. CLAYa black heart
ed traitor" would add the language
which is reported as following that SEN
tence. Mr.. WooDsoN says that the at
tack upon Mr.. CLAY was SO bitter that
he was deeply impressed by the vonom
manifested. And yet DOUGLAS can prate
about his love and admiration for the
great statesman and sage of Ashland.

and hypocrisy could go farther
