Kiair.Kn .nvn. ■ • I . ‘ Mu. Editou:—I next present ns a witness, Stephen Arnold Dougins, and as be is a northern man, ijiul a peuator in Congress frotn a northern free State, and is tho author and prime mover of the repeal of the MissourLcompromise, and mtllipr of the Nebraska-Kansas bill, and as a matter of course/the head and front of the “Popular Sovereignty” doctrine, 1 consider ' bis testimony in behalf of the qbargo, must be conclusive. In l819, Mr. Douglas made , a speech in Springfield, III iuois, in, which lie made tisp; of the following language: .Missouri compromise had been ju practical operation fpr About a quarter of a cchTury/aml had rccoivcil llio .saiictiwi' and approbation of men of all 'parties, in every’ section of tbo Union. It bad allayed all sectilmal ’jealousies and irritations growing out'df this vexed question, and harmonized arid tranqUiiizcd thowUolocoun-' try'. That tho Missouri cpinpromifce had its ' origin.' intiro hearts’ of. all patriotic meet whoj desiredTp ■preserve and; perpetuoto the blessings of our glorious Union —an origin akin to that-, of tho OouslitHlionofthc United'S tales, atid conceived in tho same spirit of fraternal affection, and calculated to remove forever the only dnngor which seemed to'lhrPatcri,' at some distant day, to sever the social bonds of union. All the evidence of public opinin at. this 1 day seemed to indicate that this, compromise hail become canonized in the hearts'of tlio American people, as a sacred : thing which no ruthless hand would over reckless enough to disturb.’* 1 Now, kipd reader, I ask you to con-* siclcr well the above quotation from Sir. Douglas’s speech, and compare it| with his speeches iu-an'd put of Congress since tho repeal of this same Missouri compromise, amt say if you can; they breathe tho same, principles'—tho* same loyo of country—-tho sumo desire ■ for the preservation* of tho'Union; Which is tho friend to* this yountfj, Mr. Douglass, in 1840, or Mr. Douglas in 1855? Who woulddiavo believed, that tho man who wa& imbued with such'palriotic principles in 1849,*; could dr. wpqld .in five short years, bo the very'man to “raise a ruthIcU band" to blot out forever that compromise, which he said "had become caudeized inV the hearts, of tho American pcople.ns : a sacred thing?” ; And,; which too, was second only to :tho Constitution of the jidiintry? ; . Mr. Douglas will yet leani, that the Compromise is as dear id a largo portion of .tho American people "at this, time, ns it was when ho uttered that noblo sentiment; trad,if tho signs of tho times are indicative tof. any oiio thingj it is,’ that the friends of ■ .freedom, and. tho observers and keepers of the pledges and- compromises pf tho Fathers- of the Republic,' will not give him ;or his (corrupt and faithless folio were, Any /* sltjep to their eyes, or slumber to" their eye-lids,” until tliat compromise is restored, and* the ,vast territory which lies north of 36 dog. 30 min; is' again safe from the blighticig tread of human slavey.' *. I : . But. tho'’. truth is, Mr. Douglas. ha*d hover thought of 'attempting a. repeal of thc Missodri comproinifio until after, tho 4th' day, of Janoary,'-1854; for onltjio.t day, he in tho Senate of'the United States of tho edmmitteo ou rerritdrici, .made a reportj and brought in a bill' the • drgaoizaliod of Uio ‘Kansas and' Ncbri&ha territories; in' which J not one word was said repealing'that compromise. Bat ‘his bill was violently attacked by • southern members, yet Mr. Douglas attempted a defence, in 'winch! he said, “your committee are not prepared now to recommend a departure from tho course pursued on that memorable occasion, (referring to the action in 1850 on the fugitive slave law), either by affirming or repealing tho eighth section of the Missouri act *" I’bus, you sec, that as late as January, 1854, Mr. Douglas was unwilling "to raise” bis "ruthless baud” to strike down that which he well knew was considered as a sacred compact by the American people? But why did he finally, and so, easily change? Has ho givsn ono single reason, or even attempted it?. No, not one, and for tho very good reason', none can bo given A/ But why did ho turn so complete a somerset? Ah a voice ia heard coming up from tho “chivalrous south:” “If you will go for repealing tho Missouri compromise, Mr. Douglass; if you will call hack your bill, and'submit an other, j with

As I passed- the cellar-door of Long’s houso fronting on Eleventh street, !'heard' eomo Irishmen talking, and looked down in tho collar and saw an Irislnnan having' A pair oLbalict-mouhls in his hands' capable of moulding five or six- bullets nt one time; they : were about' six • inches long; ahd I noticed, tho hecks of numerous bullets lying on the ground, imd am confident they were engaged in moulding bullets'.
