The Truth Coming Out.
Douglas Not to be Trusted.

in the Senate Of the United States, a gen.
tleman of unquestionable integrity, made a
speech in Illinois the other day. When he
was about to take the stand, NJ. Kirkpat-
rick, Brerkinringe man, rose and said:
Judge Trumbuli, l desire TO ask you a
question, for the purpose Of information,
and / don't wish to interrupt you while
speaking; will you permit me to ask it
now?
Judge Trumbull-Yes sir.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick see from the speech
of Judge Kellogg, tina, at the time of the
attempted passage of the LecomptOn Con-
stitution through Congress, Mr.. Douglas
called on Mr.. Covode, Republican men,
Der of Congress, from Pennsylvania, and re-
quested him TO go to you and get you TO
agree that he, Mr.. Douglas, should be re-
turned 10 the Senate by the Republicans Of
Illinois; and in consideration thereof, he
would fight the Republican battles in 1860?
Was this message conveyed to you BY Mr..
Covcde, and if aye, what reply did you
make thereto?
Judge Trumbell-Mr. Covode has told
me since, that he came to me at that time
for the purpose Of delivering the message,
but before mentioning the matter to me,
found from my violent denunciations of
Judge Douglas, that it was useless TO make
the proposition 10 me, and consequently it
was not delivered at that time, to me.
Mr.. Krkpatrick-One more question. -
Was Judge Douglas, at that time, an appli-
cant for admission into the Republican
party, the consideration on the one side be-
ing that The Republicans Of Illinois should
return him to the Senate of the United
States, and upon the other that he would
fight the Republican battles in 1860?
Judge Trumbul--I had ne intercourse
with Judge Douglas at that time, and con-
sequently can only state the reports which
came to me through others. 1t was report
ed 10 me, at that time, that such was the
fact, and such appeared 10 be the universal
understanding among the Republicans at
Washington. will state another fact:
almost quarreled with some of my best Re-
publican friends in regard to this matter
was willing to receive Judge Douglas into
the Republican party upon probation, but
was not, as these Republican friends were,
willing TO receive him and place him at the
head Of our ranks.
This charge has been substantially re-
peated heretofore: Repeated by a prom.-
nent democrat Of this county, on the public
square in Fayette, and that same del2 ocrat
is now supporting Douglas. Douglas was
ready 10 join the Republioans-will be
ready again when il is TO his advantage. and
the leading democrats who now support
him, especially the new converts, will be
ready 70 follow him from the halfway sta
ton TO the Republican camp, whenever
they can get into power by SO doing
Watch them!
The St. Louis Bulletin follows up this
expose, with ether matters, which have
been strongly limited at heretofore, but were
never put in authentic shape till now. Read
what it says:
"About the same time (the LecOmpton
Bill being then before Congress- Mr.. Doug
las we assert it upon authority which shall
be produced if Judge Douglas dare to DENY
it) sent Hon. Schuyler Coliax, Republi-
can Congressman, TO Frank Blair, at that
time representing this district in Congress,
TO request an interview with him. Mr..
Blair, thereupOn vent TO see Mr.. Douglas
at his own house. During that interview
Judge Douglas told Mr.. Blair that he
Douglas was as hostile 10 slavery as Mr..
Blair could possibly be; that he sympa-
Ihized with Blair in his struggle in Missou-
RI, and would aid him in it, if Blair would
point out how he could do so; and he then
suggested 10 Mr.. Blair the propriety of at
tempting, with his Douglas assistance, J 10
be elected TO The Senate as James S. Green's
successor.
Mr.. Douglas told Mr.. Blair at the same
lime. that his Kansns-Nebraska policy had
been designed from the first, with view
10 crush out slavery, by surrounding the
slaveholding States with a Gordon oil nom
slave-holding communities. Mr.. Douglas
so completely satisfied Mr.. Blair of his all.
Il slavery sentiments, on this occasion, that
he latter gentleman wrote 10 Mr.. Gratz
Brown, who was then editing the Missouri
Democrat, TO abstain from all further at
acks upon Mr.. Douglas.
MIR. Douglas will not dare TO deny these
charges. They can be established by the
eStincny of too many credible witnesses.
It was but the other day that Arson Bur-
ingame reiterated them in Maine, adding
urther that Mr.. Douglas had, during his
ate visit to Boston, satisfied him Of his
resent antipathy to the slaveholdng States,
md to the institution of slavery"
