Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1860-08-23

previous day In the first place, he showed
from the speeches and declarations OF Mr..
Douglas, that the right" which he advocates,
by means of his great principle is "a right
to introduce and protect slavery, and not a
right to exclude and destroy it," He then
gave thorough exposition of the record OF
Messrs. Douglas and johnson. We quote
from this telling speech the following passage
Mr.. Douglas is opposed to the agitation OF
| the slavery questions in Congress. have
heard that declaration before from his lips.
Who among all the public men of America,
has engaged in the discussions growing out OF
| the slavery question more than this same Mr..
| Douglas He has done more to stir up the
strifes of this slavery agitation than any man
of our age. Opposition 10 his principles, poll
cy and measures, he has ever been swift to de-
nounce as slavery agitation. The statesmen
who have simply adhered TO the faith Of the
fathers-to the opinions of Washington, Hen
ry, Jefferson, Mason, and Madison, and the
statesmen OF the south of their age, he has
ever been in haste to brand as abolition agita-
tors and abolition confederates.
But the material interests of the country,
the Pacific railroad, the tariff, and other meas
ures, have been sacrificed by these congress
sional agtations and discussions Granted.
But Douglas and his compeers have been the
agitators. The records will show that the
best interests of the nation have been put aside
to give time to Douglas and his political asso-
ciates to define their positions-to expound
their great principle" The republican house
of representatives at the last session, found
time to expose hoary abuses, pass acts to adj
nit Kansas modify the tariff, repeal the slave
code OF New Mexico, and abolish polygamy in
ITt,l tin to had fif,,a
to deal with questions of that character. Da.
Wis resolutions and "mv great principle" and
the slave interests thrust aside all other ques.
lions. Mr. Douglas could find time to expound
his hobby of non-intervention. but he could
find no time to devote TO the revision of the
revenue laws. no moment to attend the meet
ing of his committee on territories, and give
his casting vote for the report in favor of the
admission of Kansas. l commend a prudent
silence to Mr.. Douglas on these questions.
