Mr. Douglass' Speech.Detroit, Michigan, Free Press [Democratic](7 February 1854)
We furnish our readers to-day with the first half of Senator Douglas' speech
on the territorial bill.
The remainder will be given to-morrow.
-- As a terrific excoriation of the authors of the late abolition address,
and as a conclusive argument on the main question, it cannot be surpassed.
It is, indeed, overwhelming - scattering to the winds the positions assumed
by the opponents of the measure, and placing the measure itself on the elevated
ground of constitutional and popular right.
We ask every citizen, be he democrat, whig, or abolitionist, to read this
speech.
