A Da ,naging Exposure.

| That Stephen A. Douglas was a mere
scheming politician, trading in parties to
snake profit for himself, as a grocer trades
in -four and bacon. has long been known to
all but some Of his infatuated admirers
But al last an exposure has over,aaen him,
which will satisfy even them ,ha, he is a dis
honest. tricky man. The Democratic As
ISOLATION OF Leaven worth. Kansas. have pub
h>hed a series of letters from the members
of the convention which framed the Lecomp
ton Constitution and refused TO submit any
part of ii but the slavery clause to the peo-
pie, in which it is sta.cd by every man that
the project Of Withholding the Constitution
from tie people. and leaving them The right
10 vote on the slavery clause alone, ,ras ap-
p-ored 6y -hr. Doygias carried through the
coaveniion by his friend Calhoun, of candle
box no'oriety. and held out for support To
the convention rs NJ. Douglas's ors ulqny
The letters are direct. explici, and eonvin-
cling. and their effec. with all candid men
must Be overwhelming.-hd. Joxrnai.

did not Of course consult The young man.

in the ownership of the Broadlxe establish

formed US of having made the sale to him
and, AS proof that we made correct state
men', Mr.. j. Qaincy Adams Thompson re-
ceired eighty free dollars as bonus for the
share of that office he had just bought Not
having any acquaintance with Mr. John @.
Adams Thompson. and only Judging from
his l,tfae note. we would give il as our opinion
that, had the sum been $500 instead of
$s5, 'twould have been cheap radiance of a
dead weight to sha, or any o,ker printing of

SIR: the position taken by Jal 20 d ,uy-
las lately In h's Cleveland speech, ..thss IL
Vas mistake to suppose that Illinois and
Oa'". and consequently also Indiana, vera
Free States by means OF the Ordinance Of
1857. but they were such simply because
they preferred Freedom TO Slavery" and
the construction put by the same upon said
Ordinance ye" nave justly dcSigns,ed ia
your Saturday = issue As willfui fals,hoods.
In further Illustration of this matter, let mo
call the attention of the pub ic to the fact
that. IN 1903. the people of the Tcrri,or7n
ct Indiana, which WAS made tree under tho
Ordinance Aforesaid. petitioned Congress.
Ito suspend the provision which prohibited
slavery IN that Territory" John Rsndolph
OF Virginia. the chairman OF tho committee
OF Congress to which said petition was re.
Tered. reported against tho same. and said.
IN his printed report. '.that the COMMITTEES
deem It highly dangerous and inexp.dient
to impair a provision wisely calculated to
promote the happiness aud prosperity of tho
North Western country. and to give strength
and security TO that extensive frontier. =
In consequences thereof. the requss, of thu
Pen,i'neis were not grated BY Congress.
how Is IT, then. Judge Douglas: Did
the northwestern territory (including
among others. the States of illinois, Michi.
gan. and Indiana. become free b. the act
OF Congress under the Ordnance Of 1887.
as seems to be demonstrated by the above
cited TACT, or by means Of Squatter Sever.

Slavery. as Douglas tells to his hearers?
