Does he say there is no such thing in the ``Congressional Globe?'' It is said that a bear is sometimes hard enough pushed to drop a cub, and so I presume it was in this case. (Loud applause.)

Since 1909, the Abraham Lincoln Assocation has published several serials and a number of books as part of its mission to support continued scholarship on Abraham Lincoln's life and world. (Cries of ``good,'' ``that is the doctrine,'' ``hit him hard,'' and three cheers for Douglas. And not grass alone; but soils, seeds, and seasons---hedges, ditches, and fences, draining, droughts, and irrigation---plowing, hoeing, and harrowing---reaping, mowing, and threshing---saving crops, pests of crops, diseases of crops, and what will prevent or cure them---implements, utensils, and machines, their relative merits, and [how] [39] to improve them---hogs, horses, and cattle---sheep, goats, and poultry---trees, shrubs, fruits, plants, [40] and flowers---the thousand things of which these are specimens---each a world of study within itself. Perhaps the convention would have the right to submit it, if it should think proper; but it is certainly not compelled to do so, according to the provisions of the bill.

He had the bill or document in his hand like that [holding up a paper]. Consider the evidence that Trumbull has brought forward. Trumbull.''

If you have ever studied geometry, you remember that by a course of reasoning Euclid proves that all the angles in a triangle are equal to two right angles. Other amendments reported by Judge Douglas to the original Toombs bill, clearly show that the intention was to enable Kansas to become a State without any further action than simply a resolution of admission.

Those same heads are regarded as explosive materials, only to be safely kept in damp places, as far as possible from that peculiar sort of fire which ignites them. This, my friends, is a serious charge, but I charge it to-night, that the very men who traverse the country under banners, proclaiming popular sovereignty, by design, concocted a bill on purpose to force a constitution upon that people. I will remark that I have not got these Congressional Globes with me. [Renewed laughter.] I will cram the truth down any honest man's throat until he cannot deny it. Trumbull says that the object of that amendment was to prevent the Convention from submitting the Constitution to a vote of the people. I read this from the report I made at the time, on the Toombs bill. The same men who are now fighting the Democratic party and the regular Democratic nominees in this State were fighting us then. with that provision stricken out of the bill, had been made by HIM, inconsultation with Toombs, the originator of the bill, the alterations and modifications were made by him upon consultation with Toombs, without its being submitted to a vote of the people, I suggest to him it will not avail him at all that he swells himself up, takes on dignity, and calls people liars.

The error, as they hold, is in assuming that the whole labor of the world exists within that relation. By the ``mud-sill'' theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible.

He there declared that Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, introduced a bill into Congress authorizing the people of Kansas to form a constitution and come into the Union, that when introduced it contained a clause requiring the constitution to be submitted to the people, and that I struck out the words of that clause.

Does Judge Douglas say it is a forgery and was not true? [10]   Sentinel has ``span,'' undoubtedly a typographical error for ``spare,'' which is the P&T reading.

I scarcely ever knew a mammoth farm to sustain itself; much less to return a profit upon the outlay. That is the polite language Senator Trumbull applied to me, his colleague, when I was two hundred miles off.

The Dred Scott decision decides that they have not that power.

Mr. Trumbull when he made that speech knew these facts.

Does Judge Douglas say that is a forgery?

Thus I convict him of falsehood and slander by quoting from him on the passage of the Toombs' bill in the Senate of the United States, his own speech, made on the night of July 2, 1856, and reported in the Congressional Globe for the 1st session 34th Congress, Vol.

Fellow Citizens---It follows as a matter of course that a half-hour answer to a speech of an hour-and-a-half can be but a very hurried one. Does he deny that the provision which Trumbull reads was put in that bill?

Accordingly, a bill to carry out his idea of immediate admission was reported as a substitute for mine---the only points at issue being, as I have already said, the question of population, and the adoption of safeguards against frauds at the election. It was held by the most intellignet on the subject, that in view of all the difficulties surrounding that Territory, the danger of any experiment at that time of a popular vote, it would be better that there should be no such provision in the Toombs bill; and it is my understanding, in all the intercourse I had, that that Convention would make a Constitution and send it here without submitting it to the popular vote. Matheny is this very day the candidate of the Republican or Abolition party for Congress against the gallant Major Thos.

(Cheers.)

The amendment reported by Mr. Douglas, that ``until the next Congressional apportionment, the said State shall have one representative,'' clearly shows this, no such provision being contained in the original Toombs bill.

Thus, you see, that in Congress he declared the bill to be silent on the subject, and a few days since, at Alton, he made a speech, and said that there was a provision in the bill prohibiting submission. I now wish to say that it had not originally been my purpose to discuss that matter at all. To be sure if we will all stop and allow Judge Douglas and his friends to march on in their present career until they plant the institution all over the nation, here and wherever else our flag waves, and we acquiesce in it, there will be peace.

EXTRACT FROM MR. TRUMBULL'S SPEECH MADE AT ALTON, REFERRED TO BY LINCOLN IN HIS OPENING AT CHARLESTON. Globe last session, part I, p. 21) stated: I will ask the Senator to show me an intimation from any one member of the Senate, in the whole debate on the Toombs bill, and in the Union from any quarter, that the Constitution was not to be submitted to the people. The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines himself exceedingly tired.

I have never seen a machine intended for a Steam Plow. It would take some time to form a constitution. He desires to ride into office not upon his own merits, not upon the merits and soundnessPage  162 Reynolds, all making speeches against the Democratic party and myself, at the same place and in the same cause. They presented him the words: ``And this, too, shall pass away.'' He illustrates this argument by supposing himself on trial for murder, and says that it would be no extenuating circumstance if, on his trial, another man was found to be a party to his crime.

One feature, I believe, of every fair, is a regular address.

[Laughter.] It is his public acts with which I have to do, and if they condemn, disgrace and consign him to oblivion, he has only himself, not me, to blame.

This impression was stronger because I thought the spirit of the bill infringed upon the doctrine of non-intervention, to which I had great aversion; but with the hope of accomplishing a great good, and as no movement had been made in that direction in the Territory, I waived this objection, and concluded to support the measure. You cannot deny that since 1854, there has been a great revolution on this one question. How chastening in the hour of pride!---how consoling in the depths of affliction! [Uproarious laughter and applause.] All eyes in this nation were then turned to the three great lights that survived the days of the revolution.

If the charge was true, why did not Trumbull make it in 1856, when I was discussing the questions of that day all over this State with Lincoln and him, and when it was pertinent to the then issue. I have no charges to make against Mr. Lincoln, none against Mr. Trumbull, and none against any man who is a candidate, except in repelling their assaults upon me. have already referred, page 795, where you will find the following in the report of the proceedings of the Senate: MR. DOUGLAS---I have an amendment to offer from the committee on territories. I shall thereby furnish the readers of this debate with the complete discussion between Trumbull and, Page  148Douglas. Let us hope, rather, that by the best cultivation of the physical world, beneath and around us; and the intellectual and moral world within us, we shall secure an individual, social, and political prosperity and happiness, whose course shall be onward and upward, and which, while the earth endures, shall not pass away.

I ask you whether you will sustain a man who will descend to the infamy of such conduct. I did not suppose that there was an honest man who would pretend that the omission of such a clause furnished evidence of a conspiracy or attempt to impose on the people. Judge Douglas has told me that he heard my speeches north and my speeches south---that he had heard me at Ottawa and at Freeport in the north, and recently at Jonesboro in the south, and there was a very different cast of sentiment in the speeches made at the different points.

[``That's it.''] The man who produces a good full crop will scarcely ever let any part of it go to waste. Take fifty bushels of wheat, ready for the harvest, standing upon a single acre, and it can be harvested in any of the known ways, with less than half the labor which would be required if it were spread over five acres. Lincoln, as reported in the Press & Tribune.

THE FREE DEMOCRACY. Mr. Lincoln can not find such a clause in it.

This is the ``mud-sill'' theory.

You all heard me call upon him to say which of these pieces of evidence was a forgery?

of his principles, but upon his success in fastening a stale old slander upon me. It was vocal with the declaration whenPage  158

How is it over? I would despise myself if I supposed myself ready to deal less liberally with an adversary than I was willing to be treated myself. What would be the effect upon the farming interest, to push the soil up to something near its full capacity?

There was no shifting of ground, nor inconsistency of testimony between the new piece of evidence and what he originally introduced.
