plainly did this purpose slick out that lie might
us we'll have openly confessed it.
Thc first rccaark CT John Hickman after lis
tening 10 the speech was: pom thy belly
sbalt thou go, and dirt shalt .tl,nu cat all the
days Of thy litc." The observation was ft-
ting comment upon The etlusion. Forney said
that Douglas seemed to have lnst lis senses in
his desperate strife for The Charleston nosninn-
tiou. The speech was ont Of place at best, and
was thrust upon the Senate unscasonubly mud
impertincrt'y. The tinsy prctc1t for it was
resolution ,hut he offered for The protection Of
each State against invasion by tho inhabitants
oi any other State.
But his resolution came too latc. 4 commit.

the whole ground. No party or Senator had
objected to the passage of & luw to prevent md
punish invasions or raids into one State or Ter

States, Tho Republicans have been anxious for
tue passage of SUCH law ever since the Mis~
souri, rulfians invaded tl.c people Of Knnsas,

the inmates.

invasion, he eecitcd his old thrcad-bare Illinois
