did any man more faithfully adhere to prin.

has adhered to the principle of non.inter-

last three years. When Buchanan. backed
by the almost unbroken Southern Democra-
cy, attempted to force slavery upon the
people of Kansas against their willard
when the same combination attempted to
press the Northern Democracy into the
support of the extension of slavery, and
rally the followers of jefferson under the
banner af slave code for the territories

Trip to Dubuque.
When Douglas was announced to be at
Dubuque, the Democrats of McGregor and
Prairie du Chen were sail going" We
chartered the ALAMAKEE steamer, and the
Gutenberg Band to accommodate the large
crowd that was expected. Being anxious
to reach Dubuque at an early hour, we left
McGregor before daylight, touched at Gut
tenberg for the Band and passengers, and
arrived at Dubuque by II o'clock, with our
boat well tagged, Capt. DORIS cannon fir
ing and the Band playing. In going down,
the boatalso touched at Cassville and Clay
ton City, but boat just before us had car
ricd off our expected recruits at both those
points. w. Mills, Esq, welcomed us in q
neat speech which was responded to briefly
by Senator Hammer Marshals Case and
Harris then joined our company Of sixty to
seventy in the procession that escorted Mr..
Douglas to the Julien House, and 1--WE were
dismissed" We all stopped at the Key
City Hotel, the best house in Dubuque
After dinner we heard the "Littlc Giant

crowd of ten thousand people; some called
