voters and probably of itself defeat
Mr.. Lincoln. but so long as Mr.. Doug
las held to the decision in good faith
he had no hope of more aid from that
quarter than he had already received.
1t was therefore the part of wisdom to
let him alone as to that point. Mr..
Lincoln, on the contrary, looked for
ward to 1860 and was determined that
the south should understand the an
tagonism between Mr.. Douglas latest
conception of ''squatter sovereignty"
on the one hand and the bred Scott
decision, the Nebraska bill and all pre-
vious platforms of the party on the
other. Mr.. Douglas taught strange
doctrines and false ones, and Mr.. Lin
coin thought the faithful far and near
should know it. If Mr.. Douglas was a
schismatic there ought to be a schism,
of which the Republicans would reap
the benefit, and therefore he insisted
upon his questions. "That is no bust
ness of yours" said his friends. cat
tend exclusively to your senatorial
race and let the STAKEHOLDER and Doug
las fight out that question among
themselves and for themselves. If you
put the question to him he will an
swer that the bred Scott decision is
simply an abstract rule, having no
practical application" "Tf he answers
that way he's a dead cock in the pit"
responded Mr.. Lincoln. But that"
said they. us none of your business.
You are concerned only about the sen
atorship." NO" continued Mr.. Lin
coin, mot alone exactly. l am killing
larger game. The great battle of 1860
Is worth a thousand of this senatorial
race"
He did accordingly PROFOUND the In
terrogatories as follows:
First.-If the people of Kansas shall
by means entirely unobjectionable in
all other respects adopt a state con
stitution and ask admission into the
Union under it before they have the
requisite number Of Inhabitants &C
cording to the English bill-some 93,-

Second-Can the people Of a United
States territory In any lawful way,
against the wish Of any citizen Of the
United States, exclude slavery from
its limits?

Mr.. Douglas had presented his inter
rogatories on the 21st of August, and
Mr. Lincoln did not answer them until
the 9th. They had no meetings be-
tween those days, and Mr.. Lincoln had
ample time to ponder his replies and
consult his friends. But. he did more
he improved the opportunity to pre-
pare a series Of insidious questions
which he felt sure Mr.. Douglas could
not possibly answer without utterly
running his political prospects. MI.
Lincoln struggled for a great prize,
unsupported by the common mind, but
the thought of which was ever present
to his own. Mr.. Douglas was a stand
ing candidate for the presidency, but
as yet Mr.. Lincoln was a very quiet
one, nursing hopes which his modesty
prevented him from obtruding upon
others. He was wise enough to keep
the fact of their existence to himself
and in the meantime to dig pitfalls and
lay Instructions in the way of his
most formidable competitors. His pres
emit purpose was not only to defeat
Mr.. Douglas for the senate, but to
kill him"-to get him out of the way
finally and forever. If he could make
him evade the bred Scott decision and
deny the right Of a southern man to
take his negroes into a territory and
keep them there while 1t was q terri
tory he would thereby sever him from
the body of the Democratic party and
leave him the leader of merely a little
half hearted antislavery faction. IN
der such circumstances Mr.. Douglas
could never be the candidate Of the
party at large, but be might serve a
very useful purpose by running on a
separate ticket and dividing the great
majority of conservative votes, which
would inevitably elect a single nomi-
nee.
Lincoln Killing Larger Game"
Mr.. Lincoln went to Chicago and
there intimated to some OF his friends
what he proposed to do. They at
tempted to dissuade him because, as
they insisted, If Mr.. Douglas should
answer that the bred Scott decision
might be evaded by the people OF q
territory and slavery prohibited In the

adopting and following such decision
as a rule OF political action?
Fourth.-Are you in favor of acquir-
ing additional territory. in disregard of
how such acquisition may affect the
nation on the slavery question?
The first and fourth questions Mr..
Douglas answered substantially in the
affirmative. To the third he replied
that no judge would ever be guilty of
the ''moral treason" of making such a
decision. But to the second-the main
question, to which all the others were
riders and makeweights-he answered
as he was expected to answer. ut

supreme court may hereafter decide as
to the abstract question whether slav-
cry may or may not go into a territory
under the constitution. The people
have the lawful means to introduce it
OF exclude it, as they please. for the
reason that slavery cannot exist a day
or an hour anywhere unless 1t is sup
ported by local police regulations.
Those police regulations can only be
established by the local legislature.

cry they will elect representatives to

islation effectually prevent the intro
duction of it into their midst"
Sad Effect Upon Douglas.
The rer'y was more than enough for
MI. Lincoln's purpose. 1t cut Mr..
Douglas off from his party and put
him in a state of perfect a~ntagonism
to it. He firmly denied the power of
congress to restrict slavery, and be ad-
mitted that under the bred Scott de-
cision all territories were open to its
entrance. But he held that the moment
the Shareholder passed the boundary
of a territory he was at the mercy of
the squatters, a dozen or two of
whom might get together in a legisla-
ture and rob him of the property which
Luc COuSlltutAOu, lnc cuPASmO. (OuIb
and MI. Douglas himself said he had
an ~indefeasible right to take there.
Mr.. Lincoln knew that the southern
people would feel infinitely safer In
the hands of congress than In the
hands of the squatters. If they regard
ed the Republican mode OF excluding
slavery as a barefaced usurpation,
they would consider Mr.. Douglas sys-
tenn of confiscation by ''unfriendly leg
islation" mere plain stealing. The Re-
publicans said to them, I'VE will reg

A REALISTIC PICTURE.
IL Proved Too Absorbing For Old Uncle
Juniper.


Juniper.
The Mississippi courtroom was pack
ed with negroes, and it was fairly
evident, say a contributor to the Tay-
lor-Trotwood Magazine. hat some
thing of unusual interest was about
to transpire. Within the bar on the
prisoners seat an old negro leaned
eagerly forward as his attorney ar
gued his plea of not guilty before the
jury.
who gentlemen of the jury, has
sworn that be saw this man commit
this theftTs demanded the attorney.
I'VE have broken every link in the
weak chain of circumstantial evidence
with which the state has tried to en-
tangle him. Why, his neighbor, Tom
Jones, swore that he sold him the
meat that was found in the defend
ants house and that be shot the hog
because it was wild.
at is true that Colonel Smith swore
that n of his hogs disappeared about
Dec. % and that about fifty yards
from a certain stump he found blood
and then followed a trail of blood from
that spot to this defendants cabin. But
what of that?
This defendant told you-and his
wife andebrother swore the same-that
that was the blood of a coon which he
had shot and carried home the day be-
fore Smith lost his hog. Give him JUS
tice as you would do If he were a
white man. He cannot help being
black. The leopard cannot change his
spots nor the Ethiopian his skim For
twenty years he has been a leader in
the church. Let him remain free to
enjoy the bread of life with others of
the faithful"
As the lawyer sat down the women,
who had been weaving" back and
forth for some minutes, commenced to
shout:
"Bress de Lawd!"
"Dar, now"
1--WE knows yo's innocent, Br'er Juni-
PERI
The sheriff had to threaten to clear
the courtroom before order was restor-
ed. When at last there was silence the
district attorney rose.
Gentlemen of the jury" he began
in closing the case for the state, 81 de-
sire only to bring a picture to your
minds"
Here the prisoner adjusted his big
brass trimmed spectacles as If to see
the picture, and his manner showed
that he vas determined to let no detail
escape him.
"The ed of last December" contin-
ued the district attorney, found Juni-
per Bradley without meat. His son
was coming to spend Christmas with
him. But Juniper did not worry, for
only half a mile away In Marse Smiths
woods were some fat hogs.
An hour before sunse Juniper was
kneeling behind a large stump In these
woods, with his rifle pointing toward a
hog that at some distance away was
roofing among the leaves"
The district attorney paused. Taking

moving to right and left, now raising,
now lowering his rifle, he took careful
aim and then fred, initiating the noise
Of a report very successfully.
At the sound Juniper, who had been
smiling, apparently oblivious to every
thing save the district attorneys move
ments, exclaimed:
"Yas, sub, dat's des de way 1 done

The laugh that followed brought Ju-
niper to a realization of what he had
done, and he shufled round in the
prisoners seat, muttering, "Nigger got
