Second joint debate, at Freeport, August 27, 1858. Mr. Lincoln's speech. Ladies and Gentlemen: On Saturday last, Judge Douglas and myself first met in public discussion. He spoke one hour, I an hour and a half, and he replied for half an hour. The order is now reversed. I am to speak an hour, he an hour and a half, and elves, just as they pleased. I will not occupy my time on this question. I have argued it before all over Illinois. I have argued it in this beautiful city of Freeport ; I have argued it in the North, the South, the East, and the West, avowing the same sentiments and the same principles. I have not been afraid to avow my sentime people in this country think that Fred Douglass is a very good man. The last time I came here to make a speech, while talking from the stand to you, people of Freeport, as I am doing today, I saw a carriage and a magnificent one it was, drive up and take a position on the outside of the crowd ; a beautiful young lady was sittin

rious Senator. Why, they brought Fred Douglass to Freeport, when I was addressing a meeting there, in a carriof declaration and now I propose to try it. At Freeport Judge Douglas occupied a large part of his time inlast month, when Judge Douglas and myself spoke at Freeport in joint discussion, there was his same friend Camis office a considerable time, and when we were at Freeport the other day, there were handbills scattered abouto limit, localize and discourage slavery. At Freeport I answered several interrogatories that had been py had not decided yet ; and in his answer to me at Freeport, he spoke of it so far again, as I can comprehend conclusion that he would answer, so he came up to Freeport last Friday. Now that statement altogether furding all the necessary travel to meet him again at Freeport at the end of the six days. Now, I say, there is nnd on that question? He put the question to me at Freeport whether or not I would vote to admit Kansas into t

hunting me down, and they now have a negro traversing the northern counties of the State, and speaking in behalf of Lincoln. Lincoln knows that when we were at Freeport in joint discussion, there was a distinguished colored friend of his there then who was on the stump for him, and who made a speech there the night before we spoke, and another the night after, a short distance from Freeport, in favor of Lincoln, and in order to show how much interest the colored brethren felt in the success of their brother Abe, I have with me here, and would read it if it would not occupy too much of my time, a speech made by Fred Douglass in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., a shor. That is all I have to say about it. 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. I will not

that the resolutions which he read had not been passed at Springfield at all, nor by a State Convention in which I had taken part, that seven days afterward, at Freeport, Judge Douglas declared that he had been misled by Charles H. Lanphier, editor of the State Register, and Thomas L. Harris, member of Congress — in that DistrictI insist, that the mere fact of Judge Douglas making charges against Trumbull and myself is not quite sufficient evidence to establish them! While we were at Freeport, in one of these joint discussions, I answered certain interrogatories which Judge Douglas had propounded to me, and there in turn propounded some to him, which not occupy the entire time that I have, as that one point may not take me clear through it. Among the interrogatories that Judge Douglas propounded to me at Freeport, there was one in about this language : Are you opposed to the acquisition of any further territory to the United States, unless slavery shall first be prohibite

a moment to the answers which Mr. Lincoln made at Freeport to the questions which I Propounded him at Ottawa,ng slavery, then how would he vote? His answer at Freeport does not apply to any territory in America. I askibit slavery within her own limits. I told him at Freeport why I would not answer such a question. I told hiither Mr. Lincoln nor the Washington Union like my Freeport speech on that subject. The Union in a late numbecement of doctrine and programme which was made at Freeport. The declaration at Freeport was, that in his opiFreeport was, that in his opinion the people can, by lawful means, exclude slavery from a Territory before it comes in as a State; and he Compromise measures of 1860; and thirdly, that my Freeport speech is in exact accordance with those principleUnion casts upon me for all this? It says that my Freeport speech is not Democratic, and that I was not a Demout it. I pointed out to Judge Douglas that in his Freeport speech be had promised to investigate that matter.

then told him that if he did not answer the question there I would renew it at Freeport, and would then trot him down into Egypt and again put it to him. Well, at FreFreeport, knowing that the next joint discussion took place in Egypt, and being in dread of it, he did answer my question in regard to no more slave States in a mode whiolumns and a half to establish these propositions: First, that Douglas, in his Freeport speech, held the same doctrine that he did in his Nebraska bill in 1854; secon and that I explained the Kansas and Nebraska bill in 1854 just as I did in my Freeport speech, and yet says that I am not a Democrat, and cannot be trusted, because at Bangor, Maine, that he took the same view of this subject that I did in my Freeport speech. He there said: If the inhabitants of any Territory should refux. H. Stephens, put the same construction upon it in Congress that I did in my Freeport speech. The whole South are rallying to the support of the doctrine that if t

w. I wish to say something now in regard to the Dred Scott decision, as dealt with by Judge Douglas. In that memorable debate between Judge Douglas and myself, last year, the Judge thought fit to commence a process of catechising me, and at Freeport I answered his questions, and propounded some to him. Among others propounded to him was one that I have here now. The substance, as I remember it, is, Can the people of a United States Territory, under the Dred Scott decision, in any lawful way not any longer say that the people can exclude slavery. He does not say so in the copy-right essay ; he did not say so in the speech that he made here; and, so far as I know, since his re-election to the Senate, he has never said, as he did at Freeport, that the people of the Territories can exclude slavery. He desires that you, who wish the Territories to remain free, should believe that he stands by that position, but he does not say it himself. He escapes to some extent the absurd positio

t direction, by fair calculation, you may be sure of having them. But you remember and set down to Judge Douglas's debt, or discredit, that he, last year, said the people of Territories can, in spite of the Dred Scott decision, exclude your slaves from those Territories ; that he declared by unfriendly legislation, the extension of your property into the new Territories may be cut off in the teeth of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. He assumed that position at Freeport on the 27th of August, 1858. He said that the people of the Territories can exclude slavery, in so many words. You ought, however, to bear in mind that he has never said it since. You may hunt in every speech that, he has since made, and he has never used that expression once. He has never seemed to notice that be is stating his views differently from what he did then; but, by some sort of accident, he has always really stated it differently. he has always since then declared that the

At Freeport you shall open the discussion and speak one hour, I will follow for an hour and a half, and you can then reply for half tions which Douglas propounded to Lincoln at their first meeting at Ottawa, nor the historic four which Lincoln asked at Freeport. It only remains to say that in answering Lincoln at Freeport, Douglas accomplished his own political downfall. He waFreeport, Douglas accomplished his own political downfall. He was swept entirely away from his former foundation, and even the glory of a subsequent election to the Senate never restored him to it. During the canvass Mr. Lincoln, in addition to the seven meetings with Douglas, filled thirty-one appointments m
