Douglas' doctrine of popular sovereignty. a short was the occasion of a furious excitement. Mr. Douglas was hung in effigy in some of their towns, n. This doctrine was violently entitled by Mr. Douglas popular sovereignty; but it was more justlylack Republicanism. It is thus seen that Mr. Douglas had tortured the language of the Kansas-Nebhich the Black Republican party claimed. Mr. Douglas was an able and eloquent demagogue. He imp to the Union. The pernicious doctrines of Mr. Douglas were used to erect a party which, while it ism, and glozed statements of its designs. Mr. Douglas proclaimed his views to be in favour of nonntion, or what remained of it, nominated Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois for President, and Benjamin ular vote for Lincoln was 1,858,200; that for Douglas, giving him his share of the fusion vote, 1,2[10 more...]

the States, as interpreted by Calhoun, and pledging Missouri to co-operate with her sister States in any measure they might adopt against Northern encroachments. On opposition to these resolutions, Mr. Benton was defeated for the United States Senate; and they remained on the statute-book of Missouri unrepealed to the date of the war. In the last Presidential campaign, Missouri, under one of those apparent contradictions or delusions not uncommon in American politics, gave her vote for Douglas. This result was obtained chiefly through the influence of Sterling Price, who had formerly been Governour of the State, had previously represented her in Congress, and was a man of commanding influence with his party. Price and his party were strongly attached to the Union, and hoped that it might be perpetuated with safety and honour to the South. Of the Convention called in January, 1861, not a single member was yet ready to avow the policy of secession; and Price himself, who had b

ly announced, or until the British should have left the Southern coast. A day or two more elapsed, the ratification of the treaty of peace was regularly announced, and the judge and others were fully liberated. A few days more, and the judge called Gen. Jackson into court and fined him a thousand dollars for having arrested him and the others named. The General paid the fine, and there the matter rested for nearly thirty years, when Congress refunded principal and interest. The late Senator Douglas, then in the House of Representatives, took a leading part in the debates, in which the constitutional question was much discussed. I am not prepared to say whom the journals would show to have voted for the measure. It may be remarked, first, that we had the same Constitution then as now; secondly, that we then had a case of invasion, and now we have a case of rebellion ; and thirdly, that the permanent right of the people to public discussion, the liberty of speech and the press,

in the camp, yet our prisoners during all this time were continually brought to it, and subjected to certain infection. Neither do we find evidences of amendment on the part of our enemies, notwithstanding the boasts of the sanitary commission. At Nashville, prisoners recently captured from General Hood's army, even when sick and wounded, have been cruelly deprived of all nourishment suited to their condition; and other prisoners from he same army have been carried into the infected Camps Douglas and Chase. Many of the soldiers of General Hood's army were frost-bitten by being kept day and night in an exposed condition before they were put into Camp Douglas. Their sufferings are truthfully depicted in the evidence. At Alton and Camp Morton the same Inhuman practice of putting our prisoners into camps infected by small-pox, prevailed. It was equivalent to murdering many of them by the torture of a contagious disease. The insufficient rations at Camp Morton forced our men to a
