this canvass tfor the Presidency to ad
dress himself to the pe,,ple if the United
States in a magazine article. But the
next trick-I do not speak of dishonor
or d s.n,,uesty-but the next fantastic
trick was to dress up a magazine article,
with the answer of his Republican op
ponent in Illinois, brought forward now
as discoveries 'by himself, was claimed
as expositions by hijnself, and then put
ting forth to the astonished gaze of the
American people his new theory of the
word States, as employed in the Consti
tution of the United Mtates, that it often.
means Turritories. Mr. Benjamin read
from the Harper's Magazine article Mr..
Douglas's argument about the word
States. That is a constitutional argu
ment, liberally propounded, to what the
Senator from Georgia said yesterday
was the "nonsense of the people;" and
is not observable, and does not every
body see, that the Senator was drivelt
into this very nonsense when he assumed
that the p wer of the pep(le of thet
Territory exercised what he termed
popular or squatter sovereignty. Mr.
Benjamin then referred to the fact that
Judge Douglas had taken the arguments
of his Republican opponent and put them
before the people of the country as his
own opinion-his arguments against the
Democratic party, who did not agree
with him. Mr. Benjamin here read an
extract from Mr. Lincoln's speech at
Jonesboro', on the 15th.of September,
1858. Let it be said I am reading Re
publican doctrine, for these very passa
ges of the speech of Mr. Lincoln were
introduced by the Senator from Illinois
in his magazine article as Democratic
dectrine. Mr. B. then referred to Mr.
I)ouglas's rejoinder to Judge Black,
when he said if slavery existed in the
Territories by virtue of the Constitution,
it was the imperative duty of Congress
to pass laws to protect it, and that the
South could not avoid pressing the mat
ter, according to their oaths. They must
ask for a slave code. He then continu
ed as follows: But now the Senator
stands here and attacks us for doing
just what he says our oaths made it an
imperative duty to do, and what we can
not avoid doing. The Senator from Illi
nois says that his exposition of the doc
trine, that if slavery exists in Kansas
by virtue of the Constitution, it must
also in Pennsylvania, carried cousterna
tion and dismayin the ranks of his as
sailants, when it is just copied from Mr.
Lincoln's argument. lIe next took up
Mr. l)ougla's statement, that the Ten
nessee resolutions offered at Charleston,
were liable to two contructions unfriend
ly to the South. Ho read the resolutions,
and contended that they were suscepti
ble of but one fair construction, and that
was a full recogntion of the right of all
citizensn toke lproperty into the Terri
tfry. .ie fbrther said the South now de
mands a clear and explicitdeclaration of
prhciples. He wanted no platform of
doubtful construction. The Senator from
Illinois claimed to, belong to the Demo
cratic party, and to have had a majority
with him at Charleston. How was that
apparent majority obtained ?
M4r. Pugh. It was expressed by a vote
of the State present
Mr. Benjamin. Yes; it was obtained
by one of those little - arrangements
which are sometimes made. But the
tru h of history will break out
