He is not satisfied with the decision although given by the tri bunal to which we all agreed to referit He says he did not agree to refer it in the Dred Scott case he agreed to refer it when a case should arise in a Territory Here is his language: Bear in mind that the report introducing the bill was that toese yieelions touching the right of property in slaves werej Syjy t0 ocai courts to the Territorial courts with a appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States shall arise and the court tihMll pronoun cpi binding 6n me onjyou air and oh every Mr President I am not satisfied with that promise and I am Dot satisfied with it because the honorable Senator irom IHinoia upon several memorable since the year 17 has said out of the presence of the Senate that It nn was made it would hot bind the people of a the case could hot be so decided as to bmd4he Temtof that fiothing thiit the 8upremeCourt 'ouia do by deeisiop could bind the Territory but by the iranaas Nebraska bill he had fixed: the South so that the people of the Territory in defiance bf the decisions of the could exclude slavery from the Territory I Here Mr President let me come back to an explana tion of that fact which I spoke of before and to which I asked the attention of the Senate and the country Here stands the explanation of the suddeni change that has been Wrought in the relations of the Senator from Illinois with the rest of the Democratic party It was when in the year 1858 the year following this uecision pressed by a canvass at home eager to return to the Senate he joined In canvassing the State of Illinois wjth the gentleman who now the candidate Of the Black Republican party for the Presidency Pressed in different portions of the State with this very argument that he had agreed to leave the question to tite court that the court had decided it in favor of the South and that therefore under the Kansas Nebraska bill slavery was fixed in all the Territories of the United States himself going dowq in Illinois in that canvass he backed out from his promise and directly told the people of his State that whether it had been decided or not and bo matter what the court might decide the Kansas Ne braska bill had fixed the power in the people of the North to make every Territory in the Uniofi free 1 Ip that contest the two candidates for the Senate of the United States in the State of Illinois went beforeltheir people They agreed to discuss the issues they put ques tions to each other for answer and I must say here for I must be just to all that I have been surprisedin theexami nation that I made again within th last few days of this discussion between Mr Lincoln andu Mr Douglas to find that on several points Mr Lincoln is! a far more conserva tive man unless he has since change his opinions than I had supposed him to be There was no dodgiog on his bart Mr Douglas started with his questions Here they are with Mr Lincoln's answers Question I desire to know whether Lincoln tq day stands as he did in 185 1 in favor of the unconditional repeal of the fugitive slave 1 1 I do not now nor ever did itand in favor of the unconditional repeal qt the fugitive slave law 44 Question 2 I desire him to answer whether he stands pledged to day as he did in 1854 against the admission of nny momlave States into the Union even if the people want them?

5 hy do after thus deliberately violating the agreement that he made I we hold ourselves under obligation to pnss sneh alawaud with hie brother Democrats after Hying from the result I abide it when it is passed 7 Because the Constitution makes of the decision which he himself had provoked and propoe I provision that the owners of slaves shall have the right to ro ed after declaring that no matter how many decisions I claim them It gives the right laim slaves and that might be made he could always get clear of them becauae say? 8 barreQ there aU' he had so fixed it in the Nebraska bill that the people of Uon that enforoe the Territory could always in spite of the decisions make I Now sir let it not be said that I am reading Republican free Territories then proceeded in his canvass for the Pre I doctrine here because these very passages from the sidency to address himself to the people of the United I Speeches of Mr Lincoln were introduced as discoveries by States through a magazine and the next trick I am not I the Senator from Illinois these and the other passages in speaking of it in the sense of dishonor or dishonesty the I relation to the iconfusion between a State and a Terntory next fantastic trick of the Senator was to dress up a mag I When the Attorney General had replied to the magazine azine article with the answers of hi Republican opponent I article of the Senator from Illinois a rejoinder was issued in Illinois brought forward as discoveries by himself and I called rejoinder of Judge Douglas to Judge claimed as discoveries by himself as I shall show and he I in which he says speaking of the magazine article put forth to the astonished gaze of the American Republic I 11 in that article without assailing any but new theory that the word when employed in He never an one the Constitution of the United States oftesfllaeaii Ter I i I orr Jo that I my do the Senator injuatiw I or dipnM flllr ir will read what Iram sure on its being read if I had not I were true as contended by Mr Buchanan that slavery exists the book in my hand would be supposed to be a caricature I in the Territories virtue of the Constitution the conclusion of the opinions of a public man In speaking of the clause I is inevitable and irresistible that it is the imperative duty of about the surrender of fugitive claves he says: I Congress to pass all laws necessary for its protection that will be observed that the term is used in this Vrotertedbv provision as well as in various other parts of the Constitution uXatS? emntiaT eniovment that al territory ceded and to be ceded to the United States and by I I Mr Madison in his proposition to confer on Congress power I Senators listen to me now The Senator from Illinois to institute temporary governments for the new States aria I stood here last week hour after hour and asked what was ing in the unappropriated lands of the United to desig I this new issue which we were trying to force on the! party nato the political communities Territories as well as States and whence ila necessity Why not stand said he! on the within the dominion of th United I platform of 1856 why not take that Cincinnati platform Here it is and be goes on to prove it as he says and I which we agreed to in 1856 Who is it he saysithat is the proof is so amusing that I will relieve this rather te I forcing these new issues on the party? I have tracked dious discussion by reading it for the amusem*nt of the I bim through Illinois Wbat did he say in his defence of Senate I the Harper's Magazine article about the necessity of put The word is used in the same sense in the ordi verf resolution in the platform He says he has nance of the 13th of July 1787 for the government of the I Territory northwest of the river Ohio which was passed by I all who conscientiously believe that slavery exists the remnant of the Congress of the Coofederation sitting in I in the Territories by virtue of tne Constitution are bound by New York while its most eminent members were at Pnila I their consciences and their oath of fidelity to the Constitu delphia as delegates to the ederal Convention aiding in the 1 tion to support a Congressional slave code for the Territories' formation of the Constitution of the United States I 1 i 44 In this sense the word 4 is used in the clause nro I 1 denZ I want to show his view of what our viding for the rendition of fugitive slaves applicable to all I duty is political communities under the authority of the United States I And that no consideration of political expediency can re including the Territories as well as the several States of the I lieve au honest man who so believes from the faithful and Union Under any other construction the right of the owner prompt performance of this imperative i to recover his slave would be' restricted to the StaUt of the I Union leaving the Territories a secure place of refuge for all That is Judge Douglas view of our position and yet fugitives The same remark is applicable to the clause of the I hour after hour he stands up here and attacks ua for doing Constitution which provides that person charged in any I that which he says our oaths and our consciences impose ftate with treason felony or other crime who shall flee from I upon us as a duty so imperative that it is impossible for justice and be found in another State on the demand of U8 honegt to avof4 doing it He further in the Executive authority of the State irom which be fled be I Mrr delivered up to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of I the crime' Unless the term State as used in these provisions I 1 also demonstrated the same paper that the Constitu of the Constitution shall be eonstrued to include every distinct I Uon being uniform throughout the United States is the same political community under the jurisdiction of the United States I in the States as in' the is the same in Pennsvlva und to apply to Territories as well as to the States of the Union I Kansas and consequently if shivery exists in Kan the Territories must become a sanctuary for all the fugitives I Bas bX virtue of the Constitution or the United States it must irom service and justice for all the felons and criminaL who I oecessny exist in Pennsylvania by virtue of the same in shall escape from several States and seek refuge And im I 8tiument and if it be the duty of the ederal Government to munity in the Territories I I force the people of the Territory to sustain the institution of any other illustration were necessary show that the I slevwy whether Uiey wantit or not merely because it exists political communities which we now call Territories (but I there by virtue of the Constitution it becomes the duty of the which during the whole period of the Confederation and the I ederal Government to do the same thing in all the States for formation of the Constitution were always referred to as I the same reason I i or 4 new are recoguised as 4 States in some of I This exposition of the question produced consternation and the provisions of the Constitution they maybe found in those I dismay iu the camp of my clauses which declare that State" shall enter into any I tta ia ak i al lance or confederation grant letter of marque dispute and reprisal coin money emit bill of credit make any thing I bun put them into the Harper Magazine article and nt

States of this Union produced con obligati of contracts or grant any title of nobility I sternation and dismay amongst his assailants Why Mr must be borne in mind that in each of these uses where I President what is there in this argument which the honora the power is not expressly delegated to Congress the prohibi ble Senator from Illinois has copied from those Republi the edertJ Government but upon cans who again and again have attacked the decision of the Supreme Court of the United that under the tlm omiJU delegate danh dcisiou exists as well was of itself a prohibition and ao declared in express terms by I 1D States as in the Territories a sophism so bald a the tenth amendment which declares 4 that the powers not I proposition so destitute of a shadow of foundation that it delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor pro I never was used by any man who believed it but was put hibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respec I forth to deceive those who could not understand the ques tively or to the I tion I Hence it would certainly be competent for the Stater and What is the decision of the Supreme Court oi the United SC prohibition 8tetes? It is this plainly and simply: Congress has ju 0 and pteof the' are rtM at liberty to exercise them Powers of Congress under the Constitution are hunted unless the Territories are included within the term States I among8t the limitations is a prohibition to destroy and im toitkinths meaning of these provisions of ths Constitution of I Pr or confiscate the property of citizens without due pro the United States rcess of law Slaves are property and therefore Congress The italics and note of intense admiration are mine hlnnXv ra That is a constitutional argument elaborately propounded th iaLhat thL a a ac ui a aj I 1 hat is what the oupreEQ0 Court savs What has KVngi for a observable does not every body see that the Senator from thi in Oontifu(ion the United prohibiting Illmow was driven into just that nonsense when he assumed a StHte doi ag Jegislation ex the power of the people of a Terntory to exerrese what he a certain chl8e jn ar0 pIlly terms squatter or popular sovereignty If they be indeed tated and whichdoe9 not iliclKe the slavery question at sovereigns he is right there is no prohibition on them in aU?

formation of a constitution He goes on to tell us tbe Nebraska bill iif indeed it be susceptible of the con now ft can be done As I understand him he holds that it can a i 4 be done by the Territorial Legislature refusing to make any the Ter enactments for the protection of slavery in the Territory and I the right hfe now alleges but with all his promises especially by adopting unfriendly legislation to it or the I cloven foot again sticks out He warns us yesibe sake of clearness I will state it again tbat they can exclude I nators lie warns that if the Tennessee resolution is slavery

reproduce simultaneously th resolutions of which it is com posed atnunended and adopted by the Chicago Convention Resolved That we the delegated representative of the Republican electors' of the United States in Convention assembled in discharge of the duty we owe to our con stituents and our country unite in the following declara tions 1 That the history of the nation during1 the last four year has fully established the propriety and necessity of the organization and perpetuation of the Republican party and that the cause which called it into existence are per manent in their nature and now more than ever before demand it peaceful and constitutional triumph 2 That the maintenance of the principle promulgated in tbe Declaration bf Independence and embodied in tbe ederal Constitution all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain in alienable right that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of hsppiues that to secure these rights gov ernments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of tbe governed" is essential to the preservation of Republican institutions and that the ederal Constitution the Rights of tbe States and the Union of the States must and shall be preserved 3 That tb the Union of tbe States this nation owes its unprecedented increase in population its surprising deve lopment of material resources its rapid augmentation of wosltb its happiness at home and its honor abroad and we hold in abhorrence ail schemes for disunion cbme from whatever source they may And we congratulate the country that no Republican member of Congress has uttered or countenanced the threats of disunion so often made by Democratic members without rebuke and with applause from their political associates and we denounce those threats of disunion in case of a popular overthrow of their ascendancy as denying the vital principles of a free government and as an avowal of contemplated treason which It is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence 4 That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the Statesj and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively is essential to that balance of power on which tbe perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory no matter under what pretext as auxins the vravest nf crimes: 5 That the present Democratic Administration has far exceeded our Worst apprehensions in its measureless sub serviency to tbe exaction of a sectional interest as espe cially evinced in its desperate exertions to force the infa mous Lecompton constitution upon the protesting people ot Kansas in construing the personal relation between master and servant to involve an unqualified property in persons iu its attempted enforcement every where on land and sea through the intervention of Congress and of the ederal Courts of the extreme pretensions of a purely local interest and in it general and unvarying abuse of the power entrusted to it by a confiding people 6 That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which pervades every department of the ederal Government that a return to rigid economy and accountability is indispensable' to arrest the systematic' plunder of the public Treasury by favored partisans while the recent startling developments of frauds and corruptions at the ederal metropolis show that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded 7 That tbe new dogma that the Constitution of its own force carries slavery into 'any or all of the Territories of the United States is a dangerous political heresy at vari ance with the explicit provisions of that instrument itself with contemporaneous exposition and with legislative and judicial precedent is revolutionary in its tendency and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country 8 That the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom that as our Republican fathers when they had abolished slavery in all our national territory ordained that no person should be deprived of life liberty or property without due process of it become our duty by legislation whenever such legisla tion is necessary to maintain this provision of the Consti tution against all attempts to violate it and we deny the authority of Congress of a Territorial Legislature or of any individuals to give legal existence to slavery in any Territory of the United States 9 That we brand the recent reopening of the African siave iraae uncer tne cover ot our national nag aided by perversions of judicial power as a crime against humanity aud a burntag shame to our country and age and we call upon Congress to take ptompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that execrable traffic 10 That in the recent vetoes by their ederal Gover nors of the acts of the Legislatures of Kansas and Nebras ka prohibiting slavery in those Territories we find a prac tical illustration of tbe boasted Democratic principle of nun intervention and popular sovereignty embodied in ths Kansas Nebraska bill and a demonstration of the deception and fraud involved therein 11 Tbat Kansas should of right be immediately admit ted as a State under the constitutiou recently fanned and adopted by her people and accepted by the House of Rep resentatives 12 That while providing revenue for the support of the General Government by duties upou imports sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imposts as to encour age the development of the industrial interests of the whole country and we commend that policy of national exchan ges which secures to the working men liberal wages to agriculture remunerating prices to mechanics and manu facturers an adequate reward for their skill labor and en terprise and to the nation commercial prosperity and inde pendence 13 That we protest against any sale or alienation to others of the public lands held by actual settlers and against any view of the free homestead policy which regards the settlers as paupers or suppliants for public bounty and we demand tbe passage by Congress of the complete and satisfactory homestead measure which has already passed tbe House i 14 That the Republican nartv is onnosed to anv ehnm in our naturalization laws or any State legislation by whieh the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands shall be abridged or impaired and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens whether native or naturalized both at home and abroad 15 That appropriations by Congress for river and har bor improvements of a national character required for the accommodation and security of an existing commerce are authorized by the Constitutiou and justified by the obliga tion of Government to protect the lives and property of its citizens 16 lhat a railroad to the Pacific ocean is imperatively demanded by the interests of the whole country that the I ederal Government ought to render immediate and effi cient aid in its construction and that as preliminary thereto a daily overland mail should be promptly established 17 inally having thus set

DD Boston Tkrnhibit north a Wejl as south of the Missouri compromise line lam impliedly if not expressly pledged 1 belief in the right and duty of Congress to prohibit slaverkll tbe United States erritones i Question 7 I desire him to answer whether he is opp to the acquisition of any new terrritoryj unless slavery is prohibited therein Il I am not generally opposed to honest acquisitions of territory and iu any given case I i would or would not oppose such acquisition accordingly as I might think such acquisition would or would not aggravate the slavery question among Debates of Lincoln and Douglas It is impossible Mr President however we may differ in opinion with' the man not to admire tbe perfect candor and frankness with which these answers were given no equivocation no evasion The Senator from Illinois had his questions pnt to him in bis turn AU I propose now is to read his answer to tbe second question next question propounded to the by Mr Lincoln is can the people of a Territory in any lawful way against the wishes of any citizen of the United States exelude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a State constituti 1 answer emphatically as Mr Lincoln has heard me answer a hundred times from every stump in Illinois that in my opin ion the people of a Terntory can by lawful means exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a State con stitution Mr Lincoln knew that I had answered that ques tion over and over again He beard me! argue the Nebaska bill on that principle all over the State in1854 in 1855 and in 1856 and be has no excuse for pretending to be ta doubt as to jay position on that a 'I that was true but see the art the decision bad not come ygt now the decision has come now wbat It matter'd riot what way the Supreme Court may here after decide as te1 the abstract question ichether slavery riay or may not go inld a Territory under the Constitution the people hove the lawful means to introduse or exclude it as tfiey please for the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or an hour any where unless it is supported bjr local police regula tion Those police regulations can only be established by the local Legislature and if the people are opposed to slavery they wifi sleet representative to that body who will by tai friendly legislation effectpslly prevent the introduction of it into tneir midst If on the contrary they are for it their legislation will favor its extension Hence no matter what the decuion af the Supreme Court ma'plbe on that abstract question still the right of the people to make 7 slave Territory or a free Territory ss perfect and complete under the LUI I hope!
