Douglas, while in his place in the United
States Senate, heard remark from a Sou
thern Senator, which he exposed from his
place in the Senate, and dared denial.
But he never dared deny it, because he
knew Douglas could prove it, and what
was that remark2 "No matter what the
North may agree TO ooncede to us, the
South intends to reject any thingand every
thing because we intend TO go out" Who

emancipAte their negroes, and he proposes
to pay loyal men for their property-all any
Union man, North or South ought to ask
