A Ney Poor Speech.
During The campaign OF 1882 Judge
Douglas took the stump for Fierce "in
twenty eight states out of the thirty
one His FIRST speech was az Rich
mond, Va. II was published extenslse'
~ throughout the Union aud especially
IN Illinois MIR Lincoln felt an ardent
desire TO answer Il and, according TO
his own account, got the permission"
OF the scott club" OF Springfield 10
make the speech under It's auspices
II was a very poor effort II II was
distinguished by one quality above an
other IL was by its attempts at hu
NOR, and oil those attempts were
strained and affected as well as very
coarse. lie displayed jealous and
petulant temper from the frst sen
tence TO the last, wholly beneath the
dignity Of the occasion and the impor
lance OF the topic. Considered as
whole, Il may be said that none Of his
public performances was more un'
worthy OF IT'S really noble author than
this one.
Mr.. Douglas great success In obtain
Ing place and distinction was stand
ing offcnse TO Mr. Lincoln's self love
and individual ambition. Lincoln was
intensely Jealous OF him and longed 10
pull him down or oulstrlp him IN the
race Tor popular favor which they
united IN considering the chief end of
man" Some OF the first sentences OF
this speech before the scott club" he
tray this feeling In a most unmistaka.
BILE and painful manner This speech
that OF Mr.. Douglas at Richmond has
been published with high commenda-
tons In at least one Of the Democratic
papers In this state, and suppose II
has been aud Will be- IN most Of the
Others. When first saw Il aud read
Il / was reminded OF old times when
Judge Douglas was not 80 much great
er man than all the rest of us, ns he is
now-of the Harrison campaign twelve
years ago, when | used 10 hear and
try TO answer many of his speeches,
aud believing that the Richmond
speech, though marked with the same
species of 'shirks aud qnirks' as the
old ones, was not marked with any
greater ability, was seized with
strange inclination 10 attempt nn AN
swer 10 II, and this inclination II was
that prompted me TO seek the privilege
OF addressing you on this occasion"
In the progress OF ms REMARKS M.
Lincoln emphatically indorsed Mr.
Douglas gscat speech at Chicago In
1850 IN defense OF the compromise
measures, which Mr., Lincoln pronounc-
ed the work of no pprty, but which
"for praise or blame belong TO Wings
and Democrats alike. The rest of the
address was devoted 10 n humorous
crtique upon Mr. Douglas language In
the Richmond speech, 10 rldicule OF
the campaign biographies of Pierce, To
description of Generals Shields aud
Pierce walowing In the ditch In the
midst OF battle and TO most re-
marknbe account OF militia muster
which might have been seen at Spring
field a few years previous. Mr.. Doug
las had expressed great confidence In
the sober Judgment OF the people and
at the same time had, rather incon-
slstently as well ms indeccntly. declar-
ed that Providence had saved us from
one military administration by the
timely removal Of General Taylor To
this Mr.. Lincoln alluded In his closing
paragraph, which Is given ms fair
sample pf the whole
"Iet us stand by our candidate M
faithfully as he has always stood by
our country, and ! much doubt " we
do not perceive n slight abatement In
Judge Douglas confidence In Proyi
dence as well as IN the people. sns
poet that confidence IN not inoic nFib'
~ fixed with the judge than II was
with the old woman whose horse ran
away with her IN 3 buggy, She said
she trusted IN Providence I'LL the
brtchIn' broke, and then she didn't
know what on alrth 90 do The chance
IL the Judge will see the 'brltchin'
broke, and then he can Mt his leisure
bewai the fate Of Locofocoism as the
victim Of misplaced confidence"
