CI.OSB OF TESIERDAY'i rROCKKDlXClS.
Dovglat Doicn again on liigler and ihe
Kansas Portion of the Message, f c.
Bbsatr. After tho closo of onr report
yesterday, Mr. Bigler said that no one re
gretted morn than himself to perceive that
the discussion on tlie Kansas policy of tho
Administration was to bo precipitated upon
the Senate and the countiy. lie preferred
to ovoid difcnssion until the rosult of tho
election on the slavery clause had transpired,
aud nntil Kansas should present herself for
admission as a State. But tho Senator from
Illinois (Mr. Douglass) made a different
policy necessary and proper, and ro alterna
tive was left to the friends of tho Adminis
tration bnt to respond.
In his opiuion, tbo groat, spcecn ui in
Senator, with all duo respect, was, after all,
a huge structure resting on a very unsound
aud insufficient foundation ; and what was
still more extraordinary, it was sustained to
no inconsiderable extent by the same author
Hies nnd ideas which, to his (Mr. Piglors
understanding, had been used on former and
similar occasions against him by the enemies
tf tho Democratic party.
Mr. Douglas (Illiuois) replied, saying that
he had no fault to liud with tho Senator
from Pennsylvania for ranking a series or
attacks on his consistency while omitting to
nnswer his arguments. Some persons hud
furnished him with the records or the votes
or the Senator on tho Wilmot Proviso, and
some former speeches relative to Kansas
matters, lie knew not whether they were
true or false, hut what had they to do with
tho question now presented. lie did not
understand the motives for ransnckiug the
public records and newspapers, and picking
up every little scrap to see what his course
had been for twelve year? past, on the subject
of slavery. Supposo il was true that in lei
he was in Tavor or extending tho Missouri
Compromise to tho Pacific ocean, as recoin
mendod bv Mr. Ptichnniin in his letter the
year preceding, and supposing it is true that
in 18.Y1, ho introduced a bill for tho repeal of
that Compromise, or which tho President
tuys ho now p.pnrov All these things are
not material to the argument. The true
issne was whether popular sovereignty to
wl.k'h the President and himself were pledged
ebottld be violated in Kansas.
lie thought the Hon a lor from Pennsylva
nia showed a want of candor mid fairness in
quoting from his Springfield speech, and
omitting to quota what ho Ffiid on the same
mlvect'the other day whjeh wns perfectly
in harmony with his previously expressed
vC'nions. lie thought Gov. Walker was
aiithoriJ to say what he did in his inangu
ral address by u.J instructions or tho Pro-
Bitisot ana ms caoiuui -"-
Constitution be submitted, ana .iIess it was
submitted, it should bo regarded as tiMi ..d
void, lie wan not aware that Gov. Walker
hud interfered, in tho slightest degree, esc. pi
in pursuance or these instructions. lie
never supposed that tho npmt was to be do
uouticed for obeying instructions, and the
principal applauded for giving them.
Jle uJmiied tho manliness of the President
in assuming the responsibility to give them,
and only regretted that 1 he President pro--r,uies.
from motive of expediency, to accept
thn Constitution without a ratilioiitinn'hy the
perqilo, although ho admit it ought to be
submitted. If it is right to submit it, let it
ba submitted. Let policy and expediency
trtko caro of themselves. 11a complained
that Senator 1!. from Pennsylvania seemed
disposed to put him in a false position. The
true t'.-st is, tho Constitution must bo on
d iraed by thn popular will. If not, it must
be rejected. The ou'.y truo way or ascer
taining whether the Constitution is acceptable
or not, is to submit it to the people.
Mr. IJigler explained, that he did not say
that Mr. Douglas maintained that the ena
bling act was necessary in all cases, but that
ha had taken ground that it wns necessary
in the caso of Kansas. The Senator from
llliuois has disposed or his own argument, by
saying ho wr.s not always cousUtent, nnd
that u wiso mau will ciiango his views when-
... i
ever no minus nimceu wrong.
Mr. Douglas wanted to kuow by what
authority Mr. Bigler said tho I.ecompton
movement was an Administration movement.
Tho President's Message did not say so.
Had he any higher authority on which to
bafe his argument than that documeut T
Mr. Bigler replied that ho had mado tho
deduction from the Message, and from what
he knew. Iu addition, ho did cot assert in
terms that tho I.ecompton movement was an
Administration measure, but said tho Ad
iniuistratioa held the movement as legal, so
far us if had progressed. How could the
President in also such a recommendation
prior to the result of the vote, which, as he
nvs in his Message, he is waiting for
"Mr. Douglas repented that he should like
to know what other sourco of information
Mr. Uiglur had, na that Senator had that
much advantage ofhiin.
Mr. Iilgler said he was not at liberty to
ay this was an Administration measure, and
allow Mr. Douglas to detitw what it is.
Mr. Douglas again wanted to know what
those other soureos ol information were
which authorized the Senator to rend men
out of tho party for not sustaining that mea
sure. Mr. Bigler denied that ho said ono word
nbout refilling men out of the party. Did
Mr. Douglas mean to make uo issue with the
Administration ? When he uiukea an issue,
cannot he tell what it is t
Mr. Douglas Tha Senator did not use the
words, but ha intimated strongly to that
effect, lie soemed to ba carrying out the
system which has bee i pursuod for .tha last
fo.vweeks by every pensioned writer, intima
ting that '-Douglas had deserted the IVmo--cratic
party, and gone over to tho ltepbli
caus." Mr. Bigler 1 deny any such accusation.
I said that the Senator's position excited a
inomeutury gratification on tho other side of
the Chamber, uud regret on this side.
Mr. P.mglas replied that he had boon de
nounced by men who were willing to sink the
Administration for the purpose of killing off
Northern men. That every press which can
bo controlled, is thus controlled, is undeniable.
But look at nincteen-twentietba of tho inde.
pun lent press those which do not depend
on tha Government for support! they are
with him in sustaining tha Democratic party
and the Ciocianati platform. Hut tho few
who are not allowed to speak for themselves,
are endeavoring to drivo him where they
could not drive him to desert the principles
averred ad maintained by tho Democratic
party, lie wanted to Lnow wbatlnr every
man is to ba driven out of the party because
he does not coincido with the President on
tha question of the Pacific Ilailroad, and tho
Bankrupt Law, as appliod to Banks?
Mr. Higler responded negatively.
Mr. Douolus resumed then if every one
of the gentlemen aronnd him were at liberty
thus to dissent from the President on the
ounstions of tho Bankrupt law, the 1 aciuc
Railroad bill, the Tariff, and other measures,
was ha cot rjeruutted to mdire for niuiseu on
the subject of the Lecompton movement!
11a did not understand the extraordinary
desire to strike tha blow which would either
erinnle him and drive him out of thn party,
or make the country believe he bad left the
party. Would the Senutor from Pennsylva
nia endorse every recommendation iu the
President's Message, aad say be is prepared
to curry it out T
Mr. liigler replied that it was not at all
Ttrobabla ho screed with every lenlimetit of
tha President, lie bud no desire to lay
dnwa a rule by which the Senator should be
read out or tb party.
Mr. Douglas wished to know ifthe Admin
istration did not regard as wanting Iu party
fealtry, those who refused to sustain the Le
compton movement?
Mr. Bigler replied thai he could not go
any further into the subject. He had en
deavored to express his views with all the
clearness of which ha was capable. If the
Scnnter thought roper to assume that this
was a party measure, and that he was out of
tho party because he differed from the senti
ments of the Administration, that was his
own business. He (Mr. liigler) had luid
down no such rule.
Mr. Donglas replied that the Sonatorfrom
Pennsylvania had informed tho Sonata that
ho bad otbor sources of information regarding
tho purposes of the Administration in making
this a party measure. He believed that the
charges made that he was going over to the
"Black Republicans," were made by men
hostile to him, and actually hostile to the
Administration. They were persons who
desire to get him into a false position, for
ulterior purposes. Ho did not mean men
whose claim to the confldenco of the Demo
cratic party were not superior to his own,
should read him out of the Democratie party.
A report is being circulated evorywhere,
that the President is prepared to put the
kuifu to the throat of every man wno dares
to diller from the Administration, and think
for himself on this question. He believed
thoso who cirrculuto such reports nro ene
mies to tha President, and lie wished to give
his friends an opportunity of denying the
charge.
Mr. Bigler Who makos the charge?
Mr. Douglas Tho newspapers of the
country are full of it. The Senator seemed
to make his argument as if 1 were outside of
a healthy Democratic organization. I do
not recufiuiza the right of that Senutor or
uny body on earth to expel me.
Mr. liigler In no shape or form have I
been laboring to pull tho Senator outside of
the party. It is true, I did show that on this
question of slavery tho Senator did not
always hold tho same position, but I did not
say that any one who dilVered from tho Ad
ministration on this subject, was no Demo
crat. Mr. Douglas I stated that when I changed
my opinion I churged in correspondence with
that of the Psesident in both cases. If that
would lead mo out or the party, it would
lead me in very good company. Laughter.
H the President and tho Democratic party
stick to their platform, we can move along
harmoniously, but 1 shall, at all events,
maintain my opinions. 1 shall take all pro
per occasions to vindicate the great principle
with which my public life is indentiGed. I
hope, in tho discussions or this questiou. that
Senators will let mo alone as regards my
consistency, mid as for my prospects let time
determine.
Tiiukb Years aktkr a Pah, ok Watkr.
The Auburn (X, Y.I Advertiser tells the
following: A well-to-do farmer of Spring
port, three years ago, had rt little altercation
with his wife, aud while conversing with her
tooii T" 0 P"il to go after somo water. His
long abseucw awakened tho fears of his wife,
who suspected at ut'.Cn that he had made an
eud to his life by throvrinb himself into the
well. The well was accordingly Er."hed,
but t he husnami wus not touud. I bo friendly
neighbors industriously sought for, bnt found
no traces of him. Last week, while his fami
ly were at ten, the missing husband walked
into the room with the puil of water in his
hand, put it iuto i; 8 usual place, and sat down
to tho tabio as if nothing had happened,
lit had been gone just three years after his
pail of water: had visited California aud
Australia, nnd hud "turned up" aguin with a
handsome littlo fortune in his pocket.
