, stilt and having the people believe in ON
disruption of the great Democratiti party,
they set, alloat the most improbable stories
concerning Douglas' pbsition, and fain would
have.all believe, that President _Buchanan
and Cabinet are wrong in the position as
I taken by the President in his Message, and
that Judge Douglas is right in what he says

It is simply this : The President, while ex

it he li by virtue of the Kansas-Nsbraska

the Kansaa-Neltra.ska act required the sub
mission of the entire Constitution : and that
the Convention posseamed no validity or au
