His wife.,was, a Floc ally Einred. Good ,twb5h to if a a Quot a from the new York Day Book. The treason of Stephen a. Donglas. To the editors of the Day Book. The writer of this was Long a political admirer of Stephen a. Douglas. He was slow to believe that he could Ever prove Recreant to the democratic party or false to democratic principles. But he has been reluctantly compelled to acknowledge both. Aye More be has been compelled to believe irom Irre Fragalle evidence that Stephen a. Douglas has not Only refused to support principles but that he has formed a conspiracy Woith Black the Upen and avowed enet Nies of the Constitution in order like Benedict Arnold to wickedly gratify a revengeful ambition. He will prove this by what follows and will not rival in assertions but go directly to facts that Are undeniable and stand a contradicted. Previous to commencing the writer begs to say that he has no particular Friendship for air. Buchanan. He never received a favor from his hands that he is aware of. This much the writer begs to say lest his opposition to air. Douglas might be supposed As often is charged to originate from the la orites of air. Buchanan. In this Case at least it surely does not. The writer is not an office Hulder and never expects to be but a simple citizen and voter and anxious to see right principles successful and the Constitution and the Union perpetuated. The Origi. Of democratic to Bobbles in 1854 Douglas brought in his Bills to organize the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. Stripped of All verbiage there among Democrat North and South but one single Point wherein they differed and that was this do that time can the people of a territory decide the tie lion of the Exigence of negro slavery among them ? All agreed they had the Power to do so when they formed a state Constitution. Some contended they could do it before. None claimed that Congress had tie Power to do it. Douglas left this Point undecided in his Bill on the agreement that it was a judicial question and should be left to the courts All democrats agreeing to be bound by the decision. It a consid Ceil a question that ought not Jato Fudi vide the democratic party and the in preme court Watts Chasen Umpire. The supreme court has has decided the question. Lawyers May quibble and split hairs about orbiter dicta but such language As the following is too Plain to admit of doubt a the right of properly in a slave is distinctly and expressed by affirmed in the Constitution and no tribunal acting under the authority of the United states whether it be legislative executive or judicial has a right to draw a distinction or to deny it the Benefit of the provisions Anil guarantees which have been provided for the Protection of private a and if itself cannot do this if it is beyond the Power conferred on the Federal government it could not authorise a territorial government to exercise them. It could Confer no Policer on any local government established by its authority to violate the principles of the const iridion. The Only Power conferred is the Power coup led with the duty of guarding and protecting the owner in his Ngalu a supreme court u. S. Or. Douglas refused to be bound by this tie Cisiro for he has repudiate to it in just so Many words. Here they Are a the people of a territory can by a a lawful Means exclude. Slavery before it comes in As a state and to Matte what maybe the decision of the supreme court on that abstract question still the right of the people of the territories to make a slave territory or a free territory is perfect and Complete a a s. A. Douglas. At this Point the writer parted reluctantly but determinedly parted with Douglas. When he read that sentence in his Freeport speech he said the die is , Douglas has really resolved not Only to abandon the democratic party in order to conciliate the free sailers of Illinois but what is worse be has trampled upon his own agreement time after time publicly announced in the United ates Senate he has falsified his word is not to be trusted a in a word he has lied before High heaven and the great american people. And this Day this foul stigma is branded upon the forehead of Stephen a. Douglas. This i am aware is harsh language but it is the truth not i that makes it harsh. Here then is the Point where Douglas broke off from the democratic party. His be Cropton course could have been pardoned but Bis solemn rep filiation of his word forfeited his Honor and when that is lost in a Public Man All is lost. And he seems to have Felt it and deliberately made up his mind to stand the consequences for he has made All sorts of arrangements and coalitions with the Rizek republicans both before arid after this dark and damning event in his political life As i shall now proceed to show. D0ugi.4s and Horace . On the l3lh of March 1860, the Hon. William Kellogg of Illinois made a speech in the House of representatives showing that Horace Greeley who Harl been attacking him Kellogg had in 1858, in the Campaign in Illinois Vised his influence for the election of Douglas to the senator ship and that other Republican and done the same thing. The speech was not aimed at Douglas directly but ,.hw course was necessarily brought out a the charge made by Kellogg was j a that Greeley was again and again with others in consultation in the. Par lor of judge Douglas planning and scheming the election of judge Douglas to the Senate of the United states from the state of in support of this Kellogg presented a letter addressed to him by Greeley himself in which the admission is made As follows. A senator Douglas and i have been acquaintances for ten years or More during which time each has Given and taken Bard blows but 1 Trust no foul ones. I am willing to Call the account balance if he is. Once Only in our lives did we agree on a political of resisting the attempt to Force an abhorred Constitution on the people of Kansas. During the Strug Gle on that Point i was called to Wasll ii i ton and went to his House where we had two conversations on pending Ionia l what those conversations were Greeley does not say but it is Enos ugh to damage forever tie character of any Democrat and affix a foul blot never to be washed out that he Ever was in political consultation with such an open traitor to his country As Horace Greeley and who has uttered such sentiments As these abolishing in the states. Admit that abolition in the slates is what All men ought to strive for and it is Clear to our mind that a Large majority Are not prepared for this and the practical question is this shall we politically attempt what will certainly involve us in defeat and failure ? or shall we not rather attempt that which we Are Ripe for and thus by our consequent Triumph invite that majority to go further ? shall we insist on Haring All the possible eggs now or be con tent to await their appearance Day by Day ? the latter seems to us the Only rational and sensible course. Ife care not How fast messes. Birney amp. Co. May Ripen Public sentiment in the North for emancipation we will Aid them to the Best of our ability but we will not refuse the Good now within our reach out of deference to that which is As yet unattainable. Or. Birn Cyl so a Ultima Tum a May be just what he sees fit we have not proposed to modify or meddle with it. The Only ask that he shall not interdict and prevent the doing of it some Good As we shall also whenever in shall have become . Y. Tribune july 28fa, 1654.

All constitutional exc asians of any class from the polls the my Box lie., because of color Are aristocratic unjust and a Tribune jan. 17, 1851 a superstition. A nah nations have their superstitions and Liat of our people is the Greeley. Greeley says then that the abolition of slavery in the states is what he will Woik for As soon As he sees it is practicable. In the meantime he works with Douglas or any one who helps him to accomplish it for once therefore Douglas was counselling with an Oil Efti of Iofi a of my of. This cannot be denied for it b admitted by both Greeley and Douglas. The result of the interview was that Greeley advised the republicans of Illinois to vote for Douglas and it is now allowed that be never could have been re elected without Greeley a support away to Canada when challenged by the late Preston s. Brooks. Lie was for Douglas. Here is the language in which he endorsed or. Douglas in a speech on the floor of the House of representatives i think it the first duly of Republican to extinguish the Doug faces but i hold it also their duly to hear testimony As to Fhi manner in which the Douglas men and they will Pardon me for giving them the name of their Gallant and gifted Leader to Bear testimony to the manner in which they have borne themselves. They Here kept the Faith. A c a a i say it is due to them that w e should say that they have borne the Brunt of the Battle and they whether from Newyl Ork Pennsylvania or Illinois have kept the whiteness of their souls and have made a record which has lain in Light and if my voice can have any weight with the Young men of the county where those men dwell 1 should say to them Sand by these men with Alt your Young Sand by them without distinction of Hete is political Creed a what we want and what the country needs is an anti slavery Bible and an anti slavery a Burlingame. He is the Man who says also that a the Douglas men Hove kept the Faith a a a and Wilson. The following is an extract from a letter written by or. Pangborn one of the editors of the Boston Bee and never denied by any one a the senator Wilson frequently remarked and in the hearing of Many persons that he knew that or. Douglas was All right and that he intended to a act with the republicans a that a the republicans of Illinois had committed a fatal mistake in running or. Lincoln and in or. Douglas re election and that but for his course of action Douglas would certainly be with the Republican party in 1800.�? he often stated that this was understood at Washington and he freely and emphatically criticised the action of or. Lincoln a a friends and declared own Confidence in the purpose of or. Douglas to leave the democratic party and unite with us. A some other gentlemen who had been at Washington during the la Compton contest concurred with senator Wilson in his opinion but i think the great majority of the republicans of a distrusted the correctness of or. Iulg mint in this Case although they understood that senator Basel lib expressed opinion of a Glass position non his own personal knowledge that Gentl Emihl a f Here Are Wilson a political sentiments a a Lei us remember that More than three millions of Bondsmen groaning under nameless woes demand that we shall reprove each other and that we labor for their deliverance. A i Tell you Here to night that the agitation of tins question will continue while the foot of a slave presses the soil of the american a Here we find senator Wilson an and Yon you know if you should a divulge the aim and scope of your understanding a with judge Douglas so that his treason to the democratic party should stand out in Clear and acknowledged evidence it would Hael at once the division in the democratic party and ensure the overwhelming defeat of Lincoln so you cover it up and give him the Opportunity to Divide and distract the party so As to elect Lincoln. But if the treachery of Douglas does not admit of positive proof it b sus a Cep Tible of proof Strong enough to convict him of murder were he charged with that crime. The following letter does the work. It occurs in or. Kelloggs speech. Of it he says a air. Chairman i Send to the clerks desk an extract from a communication that appeared not Long since in the Chicago journal a leading and reliable Republican paper in the state of la Linn signed 1 believe i wish to say also that 1 have ascertained who the author of the article is. He is a gentleman Well known in the City of re3-i�?Tectable, and if judge Douglas his name i am authorized to give it. I ask the clerk to read the judge Douglas never desired us name let that be remembered while Reading this article the clerk read As follows a a this train of thought carries me Back to the beginning of the thirty fifth Congress when or. Douglas broke from the line of policy marked out by air. Buchanan for the democracy and opposed the Lecompton Constitution. He was under the ban socially and politically with the democrats. The remarkable expressions he used to make about his record what he had done in the parly to Stop the Progress of slavery and to Advance Freedom and what he purposed doing in the future to destroy the intentions of the slave Power will never be erased from my memory As they never can be from the minds of hundreds of others who heard the same things. A the said that when he started out in his opposition to Lecompton he merely making fight on a single measure and not against the party hut a blow at Lecompton was a blow at slavery and he soon found the whole slave Power arrayed against him like a pack of Wolv-e.-�?T. In making the fight against the Power he remarked that he was enabled to stand off and View the men with whom he had of ii acting that of was Asili Dedjie had Ever been caught in such company that they were a set of unprincipled. Fla go goes Bent upon perpetuating slavery and by the exer be of that unequal and a of Power to control the government or break up the Union and that he intended to prevent their doing either. His denunciations of the fire catera were at times very severe and couched in language fit neither for the parlor nor the . A he insisted that he would never other abolitionist of Masseh Selts driven from the party but Woodd in favor of Douglas because he says remain in it until he exposed the and a pure hearted Democrat . With a vile creature who advocates the Equality of negroes and White men a who b in favor of negro voters negro , and even negro congressmen Here is what said of the negro Fred. Douglass negro congressmen. A among the candidates put up by the convention of the Liberty party at Utica on wednesday is or. Frederick Douglass of Monroe county who b nominated for the office of Secretary of state. With respect to ability a a better nomination could hardly be desired but we confess that we should regret to see or. Douglass his proper place b not a member of the state administration at Albany but As a member of Congress at Washington. For the former office he possesses no qualifications that might not be found in other gentlemen while for the duties of a representative at Washington he is particularly gifted. As an orator and debater he a possesses both the Force and the Grace of a virginian gentleman of the old school and one of he first families to which a depth of conviction and Resolution worthy of the Best Days of the i Public add a persuasive and magnetic Charm not often Felt in the Federal Capitol. We Trust then that the friends of or. Douglass will not persist in urging by election to the office for. Which he b nominated but will make every preparation to return him to Congress on first vacancy in the Monroe Hobart Greeley in 1855. A what do or. Douglas Southern supporters think of is association conferences bargains and coalition wit i a Roan who avows such sentiments ? we Wal not state our these Are the let every Mao judge for Liim Scifo Oil and water Tell never mix. A Nob Glas and bar ukame. But Greeley was not Ute Only Black Republican in the coalition. Anson Butu Ngac of-.mass., the Naan who a a dosed sum Neil a speech Ridi cd in glue giant , of s. C., wb8 another and who ran he know air. Douglas was All right anti that he intend to act with the republicans. Well is not Wilson right ? is Douglas not acting with the Republican party ? is he not dividing the party and has not that been his evident object Ever since he commenced his revolt from is principles the Black republicans coulis not ask Mote for returning him to the Senate than his assistance in electing Lincoln to the presidency thus far we have proved that this political firm consisted of Douglas Greeley Burlingame and Wilson but there was a to it of How Many ministration and the Dis unionists and when he wont out he would go of his o in Accord. He was in the habit of remarking that it was policy for him to remain in the parly in order to hold Cirtain of the rank and file so that if he went Over from the democracy to any other party he would be Able to take the Croick along with him and when he got them a Over he would Cut Down i the Bridges and sink the boats. A on one occasion i waited upon him to ascertain if the report was True that he and Buchanan had had an interview tor the purpose of settling their dispute. I said to him that As the correspondent of a leading Republican select partners it is difficult to a a. R i a a a the following extract of a letter from a it Ryan i had represented him fairly f. P.

In interview with the tor to which Bis to me referred had reference to the Success of the emancipation party in Missouri. Here we find that there was an understanding a perfect and Complete Between judge Douglas and several members of the Republican the understanding was a perfect and Complete a indicating that it was not simply an understanding but a bargain a deliberate agreement perhaps in Black and White with the Black republicans. But Mark further a the aim and scope of which i am not obliged to the word a a scope Means that this bargain extended beyond axe Mere election of or. Douglas to the a Senate and to my mind refers unquestionably to the pres of 1860. A the scope of is the ultimate end intention design or object re of which i am not obliged to of course Yogi Are not a obliged to divulge it a yet you would do so if or Douglas were now really your Poti Ideal ene my for you could damage him there by huts a Friend working up Tea you. Member of the thirty fifth Cong res informed me he used to him in a con versa Iota he held with him at the commencement of the Lecompton struggle to ascertain his views concerning his Douglas future intentions. After talking a while with Douglas i Inqui cd of him if he knew where his present course meaning his opposition to Lecompton would Lead him. Douglas replied with emphasis a Ido i have checked All my baggage and a through a a in using this expression to me a he did several times he conveyed to my mind As i think he intended to do that he was going from the democratic party of fat bag and baggage to the republicans a great kor then party As he used to Call it.

Douglas with those with Hoiu he talked made inc deepest impression upon their minds enlisted them in his behalf anti changed in every instant their opinion of the Man. While it is not surprising that the men who were in daily habit of hearing Douglas give expression to Liis sentiments should have Given the advice they did to the Illinois republicans it is surprising that they should now deny it. More remarkable is the fact that none of the interviews i Ever had with Douglas on the subject of his political position were confidential. On the contrary i always talked with him As a member of the press he being fully aware of my remember now that or. Doit Glas never called for the name of this Man a never even denied his statements though the charges were made against him in the House of representatives before the entire american people a As a democratic voter the writer of this demands an answer of Stephen a.
