would ultimately beat them as democrats, but
that they could postpone that result longer BY
nominating Senator Douglas for the Presidency
than they could in any other way. They
did not in any true Of the word, nominate Mr..
Douglas and the result has certainly sooa as
ever I expected also told them how l expected they
would be treated after they should have been beaten
and now wish to call ther attention what then said
upon that subject ! then said SO When We do rs wo
say beat you you perhaps want to know what will
do with you will toll you far rs am authorized 10
speak for the opposition what we mean to do with
you. We mean to treat you as We posi-
bly, can as Washington, Jefferson and Madison treated
you. We mean TO leave you alone, and in no
way to interfere with your institutions to abide By al
and every compromise Of The constitution; and in word
coming back 10 The original proposition, to treat
you 60 as degenerate men, II have degenerated,
