ch, was passing through the U. S. Circuit Court for the District of Missouri ; and both Nebraska bill and law suit, were brought to a decision in the same month of May, 1554. The negro's name was Dred Scott, which name now designates the decision finally made in the case. Before the then next Presidential election, the law case came to, and was argued in, the Supreme Court of the United States ; but the decision of it was deferred until after the election. Still, before the election, Senator Trumbull, on the floor of the Senate, requested the leading advocate of the Nebraska bill to state his opinion whether the people of a Territory can constitutionally exclude slavery from their limits ; and the latter answers : That is. A question for the Supreme Court. The election came. Mr. Buchanan was elected, and the indorsement, such as it was, secured. That was the second point gained. The indorsement, however, fell short of a clear popular majority by nearly four hundred thousand vo

crowd who asks an intelligent question. Now who, in all this country, has ever found any of our friends of Judge, Douglas's way of thinking, and who have acted upon this main question, that he ever thought of uttering a word in behalf of Judge Trumbull? A voice--We have. Mr. Lincoln--I defy you to show a printed resolution passed in a Democratic meeting — I take it upon myself to defy any man to show a printed resolution of a Democratic meeting, large or small, in favor of Judge TrumJudge Trumbull, or any of the five to one Republicans who beat that bill. Every thing must be for the Democrats! They did every thing, and the five to the one that really did the thing, they snub over, and they do not seem to remember that they have an existence upon the face of the earth. Gentlemen, I fear that I shall become tedious. I leave this branch of the subject to take hold of another. I take up that, part of Judge Douglas's speech in which he respectfully attended to me.

mpton Constitution or any principle in it? He says he did not make his opposition on the ground as to whether it was a free or slave Constitution, and he would have you understand that the Republicans made their opposition because it ultimately became a slave Constitution. To make proof in favor of himself on this point, he reminds us that he opposed Lecompton before the vote was taken declaring whether the State was to be free or slave. But he forgets to say that our Republican Senator, Trumbull, made a speech against Lecompton even before he did. Why did he oppose it? Partly, as he declares, because the members of the Convention who framed it were not fairly elected by the people ; that the people were not allowed to vote unless they had been registered; and that the people of whole counties, in some instances, were not registered. For these reasons he declares the Constitution was not an emanation, in any true sense, from the people. He also has an additional objection as

In 1854, Mr. Abraham Lincoln and Mr. Trumbull entered into an arrangement, one with the oof that arrangement between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Trumbull have been published to the world by Mr. Linthat he was then as good a Whig as ever ; and Trumbull went to work in his part of the State preachi she owed and every bond that bore her seal. Trumbull's malignity has followed me since I thus defeshould be the Senator in Shields's place, and Trumbull was to wait for mine ; and the story goes, thnds that he shall have the place intended for Trumbull, as Trumbull cheated him and got his, and TruTrumbull cheated him and got his, and Trumbull is stumping the State traducing me for the purpose of securing the position for Lincoln, in orTrumbull is stumping the State traducing me for the purpose of securing the position for Lincoln, in order to quiet him.

Thus you findt me and in favor of Lincoln, in concert with Trumbull. He ought to be a good witness, and I will r1st. That they would all combine and elect Mr. Trumbull to Congress, and thereby carry his districtcheated by Lovejoy, and the trickery by which Trumbull outgeneraled him. Well, gentlemen, I think ths H.

, there was a discussion over it, and perhaps Trumbull in rending it hastily in the altered form did Douglas made some reply to this speech of Judge Trumbull's, but he never noticed that part of it at whole hour in retailing a charge made by Senator Trumbull against me. The circumstances out of whiccram the lie down my throat? I tell you that Trumbull then knew it was a lie. He knew that Toombs d he pretended was the clause.

and his party are operating under an alias there, which his friend Trumbull has given them, in order that they may cheat the people. When I wgo addressing the people, I saw handbills posted announcing that Mr. Trumbull was going to speak in behalf of Lincoln, and what do you think the name of his party was there? Why the Free Democracy. Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Jehu Baker were announced to address the Free Democracy of Monrepublican meeting. He instances Monroe county as another where Judge Trumbull and Jehu Raker addressed the persons whom the Judge assumes to n the 9th of July, 1856, Douglas attempted a repetition of it upon Trumbull on the floor of the Senate of the United States, as will appear fr States Senate, and he makes and reports against me and against Judge Trumbull day after day, charges which we know to be utterly untrue, withinsist, that the mere fact of Judge Douglas making charges against Trumbull and myself is not quite sufficient evidence to establish them!

lle Judge Douglas made a speech in answer to something said by Judge Trumbull, and at the close of what he said upon that subject, he dared to say that Trumbull had forged his evidence. He said, too, that he should not concern himself with Trumbull any more, but thereafter he shoulTrumbull any more, but thereafter he should hold Lincoln responsible for the slanders upon him. When I met him at Charleston after that, although I think that I should not have noticedit, I spread out before him the statements of the evidence that Judge Trumbull had used, and I asked Judge Douglas, piece by piece, to put hisoff by charging a bargain, somewhat corrupt in its character, upon Trumbull and myself — that we had entered into a bargain, one of the terms of which was that Trumbull was to abolitionize the old Democratic party, and I (Lincoln) was to abolitionize the old Whig party--I pretending blic records of the country show that he himself attempted it upon Trumbull a month before Harris tried them on Norton — that Harris had the o
