States has ceased to elfitt for near eighteen months and yet, persons who went Into this party are now denounced by MORTON aa traitors to tbe party for ceasing to act with it, when It has progressed beyond tbe porpoeee avowed at its formation*, and ie Making by Ultra measure- to edeot that Whldrt&a Mbels could not by force of arms, namely, the overthrow of mir form of Government. Bat WO call attention to tbo fact that the doctrlnee then avowed, and those wot* being pursued by Presldebt Johnson'*are almost identical. The war was to put down the rebellion— that accomplished It was to cease. No subjugating, no conquest, no interferance with rights of States. > for instance as fewboghaU he voters,) was to follow; but tbe Union was to lie establish!*—not indefinitely broken up !>y excluding States from its benefits. Not only so, hut it was to t>o preserved with the dignity of tbe states unimpairod—they were not fo be declared ' , desrd' , and converted Into provinces,to tie ruled by appointed satraps and black janissaries or c-orps dt Afriyue. Mew who steadfastly adhere to these doctrines are denounced in most unmeasured terns by rad-
icals of the rattle snake bue.
But it may !m asked If the doctrines then avowed were similar to those now avowed by Johnson, why was It that the Democratle ; party, as a party, did not espouse the cause aa then presented? The answer is simple. The President, then In authority, was in the hands of tbe radieah, to be by them moulded as potter* day. And those radicals were not sincere In the declarations thus made and to which they seemingly assented. Tbe Democracy, as a party, believed that those who controlled Die (iovernmeut and the political war

•And the country will stand, and we will stand successful and victorious, on the great issue of the equal right of EVERY MAN in the ballot box of the country:'—Coburn's
speech at Masonic Ball, June 1».
Change, Prestet Change. Senator Lane never told a greater troth than when be declared that the so styled Union party was but five years old. On Juno 18, 1883, it waa baptized in this city by a State Convention, of which O. P. Morton wae President. The convention waa called to Order by D. Garland Rose. Reuben D. Loo an, A. Johnson, Jon* I, Morrison were Vice Presidents. William T. Orro, David 9. Ooodino, Henry secrist, William 8. smith, were on (he committee on resolutions from their several districts; and D.G. Roar and A. C. Downey for the State at largH. David Kilgore and Daniel Mac* were prominent In tbe line of motions and order of business. Henry Secrist and Martin M. Ray were the selected speakers for tbe
occasion.
Where are all these men aowf Acting as they did, that day, with the President—with the single exception of Morton, if we are flghtly Informed. But we said the self styled Union party waa then christened. On the night before, certain persons calling themselves war Democrats, Rad held a caucus, at whfob, if we are not mistaken, Judge Smith, of New Albany, protided, In which the following, among other resolutions, were adopted, as the basis or condition, upon which they were willing to enter aad unite with that parly, rls: "The Union of all good citizens, without distinction of party, to maintain lb# Constitution of (he United Stales as it came from the
slavery and strike at the rights of the States and the people. They were willing to prosecute a war to maintain the CoasUtuUen-but not to set it aside; as witness their tenth resolution ofthat year, 1883. via: “in. That we will sustain with all our en«orgies, a war for the maintenance of tbe Constitution, and of tho integrity of the Union under the Constitution-, hut wa are opposed to a war for the cmanetpotioil of fbe itVgrnea, or the subjugation o( the Southern States.” Wo again repeat that tho Democracy then knew, as they nore know, that all talk of conservatism by the loading radicals was a sham. It dceetvcd many good men, but could not deceive the great body of the party that had for years breirwatcblng the efforts and purpoeee of th#se ultras of the North. Nor can they deceive now. They said they were not for abolishing slavery, and yet they abolished it. They said they were not In favor of subjugating the Southern States; and yet they now aver that they have subjugated them, and reduced them to mere provinces. They novr say they arc not in ftwor of negro suffrage; and yet when they are firmly seated in power they will confer upon them the right to vote—and are aiming to obtain your consent by the adoption of the Con-titEtlowU MEendmeit*. We could riot trust their platforms, for they disregarded them In their actions—those actions being directed by tbe ultra men of tbelr party. Now the avowal of sentiment is similar, but acts are made to confirm thereto, and the present President is not Ir. the hands of such radicals; and he appears to desire to miter tho States and tho people to retain "unimpaired ” some of the rights, privileges an<UUgdtijs guaranteed by the ConatMOkRuofour fathers. Wo arc, therefore, In good faith, willing to lend him support while hts act# thus correspond with hts declarations, as the shortest, surest, an# <t present most efficient means of defeating and overthrowing tbe deceitful and devilish policy of a malignant and cowuydty set *f mdfehl destructlonists, who are afraid to go before the people of the West with their negro suffrage, 'bond holders, high tariff schemes, as understood by their New England brethren, and as they will l>o carried out, if they are kept In power by tbe people-. Are wu not justified fn saying that It is presto change with them? One thing when seckirig power, and entirely different thing when they have obtained it, and go to act
upon it.
Such a party we can not trust; indeed, so far as we are concerned, wc never have trusted th-ro. For we have never believed they were sincerely in favor of preserving the OonsfttEUoa. We believe the people, having experimented under thetr control to tbe tune of four thousand millions of dollars, will no longer trust to such a party ibq.n>lo et this mighty Ration. But It was org*<f ftr 1883 that (be Democratle part/ were seeking to destroy tho confidence of the people In the Government, and, therefore, they were against their Government. How Is It now? Tho very men that stood Qp and vehemently urged that have supported the radicals in the enactment of every party measure, and are now open mouthed In denouncing the President, and thus, according to their own logic, opposing (heir Government, and are dlsunionista and traitors.

It was MUrai that Mr. Douglas, trained aa hla mind had heed from earliest years to habits of self reliance, should, in dealing with eonstitutionat questions, strike out; from the beaten track of Interpretation into new paths. The instance I have el ted is not the only one. In .a speech in the House of Represent# 11 vo* onjthe annexation of Thxas.he took the ground that the right to acquire territory, one of the most vexed question# of conatitnUotMt authority, waa included within tbo power to admit new States into tbe Union. So ata subsequent period, aa Chairman of the Committee on Territories in tha Senate, he eeotended that the right to establish territorial gevornmeate wee also Included in the power to admit jew States. In nearly all preceding dueuations It bad been assumed that the rignt to Institute governments far territories was iacladed in the power "to dispose of sod make all needful rule* and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United Mates." The propositions tons advance Mr. Douglas were stated aad defended hla usual clearness and force, and they may be considered as constituting an essential part of tho great body of oonwnentary by which the exercise of tbo powers referred to is sur-
protectiea uader which it has trtumpt all the obstacle* to its growth, and become strong, and self reliant, and prosperous. Fellow citizens, la no other country of the

Aa a member of both bodies he took part in tbe discussion of nearly every great question which arose during those eighteen years of unexampled agitation and excitement.

"That we have no sympathy with the designs and purpose* of tbe rebels, or thetr sympathizers, or of radical abolitionists." These resolutions were presented to tbe convention as coming from "a caucus of a portion of tho members of tbe convention." They were received and referred to the committee on reaolations. They were supported, as we before said by speeches from Seorint, Ray and O. P. Morton. Secrist said, sroong other things, that " His political habits were too strong ever to he changed. When the war was over probably he should be found in opposition to tha Republicans again.” Mr. Ray saw, "Tbe grenl qaestlcn with which we have to deal fairly, was the conservation of the Union, tbe Constitution, and our liberties." Governor Morton said: "Butan attempt Was being made to re-organize old parties. Aa attempt was being made to destroy the sonfidence of the people In thler Government— that Government wbleh every man wa* Mlled upon to support by hts voice and hla

" When the war waa over—when the oonE* try was restored to peace, then if we wanted to divide as Republicans and Democrats, hs would bear Ms old friend Secrist a hand." The general committee on resolutions, formed as It was, of radleals, conservatives and war Democrats, among others, presented the following, as the leading and material resolu-
tion of the day:

tle of life.
Thirty-three years ago, the year alter Chicago wo* founded, a crowd of people were Otoe muted *8 Winchester, In Seott county, to this State, to sttend a sale of valuable property. When It wm about to commence a clerk was wanted to keep the accounts, and no one could be found who was willing to undertake the service. At this moment a youth, slender in person, and feeble in health, who bad come on foot from a neighboring town, joined the assembled crowd. He waa at once tingled out by the salesman a* one competent to tbe service, and at his urgent solicitation. snd tempted no doubt by the offer of 8*2 a day,(be youthful stranger accepted it. The sale occupied three days, and before it wasended, he had won all hearts by bis intelligence, his promptitude, his frankness and hia urbanity. It was tho general judgment thotto yeaag mad of so muck promise sbsmfd not be permitted to leave the neighborhood. A school was provided for him; and thus as a clerk snd a teacher, a stranger without means, not twenty-one y career age, relying on the talents God had given biro, on an Industry which never weaned, and a courage which never wavered, Stephen Arnold DougIm entered upon hts great field of labor in tbe It can not be doubted that among a people battling with tbe hardships of a new country, the favorable impression which his first app irance bad made WMconfirmed by a knowledge of the difficulties be had o\crcome In preparing himself for active life. There was E»fcrtadte in M* early year*. Ills yontb was tbe history of hard work, and of a perpetual straggle to cultivate tbe talents of which be must btoe become sonselous in bis boyhood. He wae born In Brandon, Vermont, on the 33d of April, 1813. On the 1st of July ensuing, his father died suddenly, while holding hie Infant sn* to blr«nM. The fine fifteen years ot bis life was passed on a farm, with such advantages of Instruction re tbe dtrtrtet school afforded. HkTTnrm other mean* of education, he appraHteOE hbsaeff to a carpenter, and worked two years at bis trade, but was
to abandon b for wmit tf pbyifcal returned fo bis native town, entered an
academy, and devoted himself to classical studies for a year. Ha then removed to Canandaigua, in New York, and remained there

his oratory.
It was perhaps in the patriotic but vain at-
tempt to calm the prevailing excitement, and close up forever the source of tbe d I aerations which had so long distracted the country, by tbe preparation and defence of the compromise measures of 1800, that the great ability of Mr. Douglas was more signally displayed than
to any other political year of hla life. In January, 1800, Mr. Clay Introduced tote
tbe Senate a series of resolutions, hoping that they might be the baeie of legtstation which would be satisfactory to the contending parties. While these resolutions were under consideration, Mr. Douglas, aa Chairman of the Committee on Territories, Introduced two bilto one for the admission of California Into tbe Union aa a State, and the other forthe organization of the Territories of Utah and New
Mexico, snd tbe adjustment of the boundary
question with Texas.
In April a eommlttae of thirtasa, with Mr. Clay at Its head, waa appointed, aad all propositions concerning the slavery question were referred to It. On the 8th of May Mr. Clay reported from the comntiuee Mr. Douglas’ two bills combined to one, with a tingle amendment. When introduced by the latter thsy provided that the power of tbe Territorial Legislature should embrace all subjects of legislation consistent with the Constitution. As reported by Mr. Clay, the slavery question was expressly exempted from the power #f legislation. This exception wa* subsequently re*clnded,and the hilt was passed as ortoinalty reported by Mr. Douglas. The compromise measures, so far as they related to the organization ofthe Territories, were bis work, and they wore foundAl on the principle that the
recently opposed to r to friendly confor-
eoee under the impulse of an exalted patriot. 1am, and aa impending national peril, forgetting past differences, having no thought of themselves, and desirous only of knowing how each coqJUl da moat for tbe eommon cause, ft pTeaaed God that both should perish In carrying oqt tbe great purpose of their hearts. Mr. Douglas died of a disease contracted to hU herculean efiorta in canvassing ■to North and West in support of the war. Mr. Lincoln died by a flagitious act of oowardtee aad crime, on the very day when the old flag went up an the battlement* at Tort Sara ter, amliiybs rtuwtt^ tbe congratulations aad the team of tbs thousands who came together to wttnese (hit significant vindication of the national power. Happily the one was spared till he aw* tbe people at tbe free States inspired with hia own enthusiasm in tbe country’s cause; tbe other till he had made hie name immortal by striking from the limbs of 3,000,000 human beings the manacles of stavere, and aero tbe last hostile force surren-
dered tath* armies af the Union.
Fellow eMzetmy them to a-view of this sudden revolution In the social condition of the colored race, which ought never to be overlooked. Tbe proclamation of Mr. Lincoln abolishing tlavery, we*«n act of war, and extended only ts.lhe 8tatee which bad taken up anna again if the Government. It did not reach Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky or Tennesaee, which remained true to their allegiance. Slavery still existed in those States; and for ite final extinction, for tbe consummationef tbe great measure of manumission, for the obliteration ofthe only feature in our political constitution which baa ever been regarded aa toeouststent wttb its fundamental principles of freedom and equality, tbe country is indebted to the present chief magistrate of tbe Untan. His personal Influence with the South has ashtoved what ao power of the Government could have effected—tbe adoption by three-fourtbsof tbe States ofthe Constitutional amendment declaring slavery forever abolished throughout the Unhm.

The object, a*the committee declared in a -peclui report accompanying It, was ” to ergunizo sR territories In the future upon tbe principles of the enmpromise measures of itfiV’ and “ tted >h- * t measures Were intended to barr a mil !i !.mailer snd enduring effect than merely to adjust tbe disputed question growing out of the acquisition
of Mexii
the great measure of 1866, and it wilt be oordsd to our history aa oos of the marvels of the times that slavery wsa abolished to Kentucky and Delaware by the vote* of South Carolina. Georgia,MisaisMppl and Alabama. Let tbe nets be proclaimed to honor of the last netted States, and tt need not be doubted that tbe time is near at band when they will find in high moral conaUlerxtions-aml an immeasurably increased prosperity cause to congratulate til cm selves that their names are caroled in tbe great army of emancipators throughout the eivitlzed world. In the 3tate of Illinois there has been no great interest for a quarter of a century with which Mr. Douglas waa a at to sob* way identified. HU view# ware eminently conservative. Hs opfiaaml ail naaiesa expenditures, all loose laterpAtations af avganie or administrative laws, all attempts to evade obligation* resting upon legitimate compacts; and yet he waa always one of tbe foremost in advocating judicious Internal improvements.

Though Mr. Douglas was always a member of the Democratic party, ha never considered himself bound by hi* association to support measures which, he believed wrong. His sense of right. Us conscientious convictions of duty were with him obligation* above all party tire. It waa under this high feeling of honor aad self respect, and with an independence worthy of ail praise, that he broke assay from the political associations with which he had been all Us lift identified, and denounced, resisted and opposed with all the resisties* energy of hia charkcter, aad with all tha earnestness of hia eloquence, what be denominated the Lecompton fraud. There can be no higher evidence of hi# stern integrity than his course on this occasion; no better illustration of tbe truth that, though party ties may hind u* on quasUoas of mere expediency, no honest man will hesitate to break away from them when the alternative is to do, on a question of prin-
dpi*, what ke foeU to bo wrong.
The lastpobife appearance of Mr. Douglas waa on two occasions, one immediately succeeding tbe other. On hia return to this State, after the attack #n Fort Sumter, he addressed the members ofthe I.ratal stare at their request, denouncing the rebellion, urging the oblivion of ail party differences, appealing to hia poll Ural friends and opponents to unite in support of the Government, and calling on the people to come to tbelr strength to ite rescue from the perita which surrounded it, and preserve the Union from being broke up by force
of arms.
In a speech to the people of Chicago, six days afterwards, tbe same earnest appeals were made to them to lay aside all consideration* but that of preserving tho government of tbelr father* On Uus occasion he wa# received by all parties with demonstrations of ) respect, surpassing to enthusiasm, if possible, , all other of the great ovations of hie life. These speeches, though pregnant with the most determined spirit, and with an undoubtiog taith ! to tbe issue of the contest, were obviously made under great depression of feelings. He bad been one of the most consistent, resolute and sOetent defender* of the constitutional rights of tha Southern States. He had done everything that juatfte and magnanimity dictated to sustain: them. To the members of the Legislature ho mid: " Whatever errors I have committed have been leading too far to the Southern section of tbe Union against my own,-" to the people of Chicago that he bad gone “ to the utmost extremity of magnanimity and generosity.” and that the return was
“arsrnpon the Government."
