Overview

Excerpt from Speech of Hon.: Stephen a Douglas on the Measures of Adjustment The agitation on the subject of Slavery, now raging through the breadth of the land, presents a most extraordinary Spectacle. Con gress, after a protracted session of nearly ten months, succeeded in passing a system of measures, which are believed to be just to all parts of the Republic, and ought to be satisfactory to the People. The South has not triumphed over the North, nor has the North achieved a vie tory over the South. Neither party has made any humiliating con cessions to the other. Each has preserved its honor, while neither has surrendered an important right or sacrificed any substantial inter est. The measures composing the scheme of adjustment are believed to be in harmony with the principles of justice and the Constitution.
