Tint following speech is taken front \ the CUipago Tribune, of Mar .Sid, and , ^ .was delivered Ijy Senator Douglas, on ; •the occasion of bis arrival and public ; reception, al Chicago, after he hud been through southern lllipois, urging the > ) -topic to rally to the support of the Government. This public uppeamncc. lu reply to (lie speech of 1 welcome, he says : Mr Ciiurman : I thank you for the kind terms in which yoq hare been pleased to wpkorae inc. I litunk the .Committee and citinua of Clucago fur litis grand and imposing reception. I beg you to believe that I will not do vua nor myself the injustice to helium j that this njagniljcent ovation is per- ! jonal homage to Djytelf I rejoice to know that it expresses your devotion to i the Constitution, the Union, and the .tlag of our country.— (Cheers.) i I will not conceal gratification at the ' .uncontrovertible lc»u this vast audience -presents— that what political differences i or party questions may have divided us, /Sk you all had a convictipn that wli.'it j the country should be ig danger, my j loyalty could be relied on. That the!' danger is imminent, no man can concoal. If war rni/st come — if the bayo- I net must bo usej to maintain tlie Gon- ' 1 stitution —I can say before God my con- ' seianco is clean. I h»ye struggled long for a peaceful solotiou of the difficulty. I have not only tendered those Slates i what was theirs of right, but I have gone to the very extreme of tnagnani- ' roity. The return we receive is ty'ar, armies ; marched upon onr Capital, obstructions ' "r and dangers to our navigation, letters ' ♦ of mar(|ue to invite piratey to pray upon [ uur commerce, a concerted inwr.ement ! j to blot out the United Stales of .A uteri- 1 , ca front tho map of thu glplK'.' flit

question is, are we to muiniuin the >• country of our fathers, or allow it to be € -stricken down by those who, when they t> can no longer govern, threaten to de- * etroy ? \yiiat cause, what exsuso dq Disunion^ give us fqr breaking up the'' best ' I Government op which (be sua of heaven ever shed its rays ? They oro dissatis- - j find with the result of a PssaldshttsV, election. Did they never get beaten ! ' before T Are we to resort to the sword when we get defeated at the ballot-bo* ? I understand it that the voice of the . people expressed in the mode appointed , h by the Constitution must command the obedience of every citizen. They as sume on tho election of a particular can- j didate that their rights are not safe in the Uuioti. What evidence do they | present of this 7 J fjefv any man to show any act on which It is based. ; What net has been omitted to be done ? I apjienl to these assembled thousands . that Ko fyr ns tl|e constitution tl rights of the Southern States, I will say the constitutional rights of slaveholders are i concerned, nothing has been done, aud I nothing ouiilled of which they pau com- | plain. There ha? never been a time from the ■ day lhal Washington was inaugurated pru 1'residMi or ihe United States. • , when the rights of tfae Southern States stood firmer under the laws qf the laud, than they do now ; there never was c • lime when they had not as good a cause ! ■ for Disunion as they hnve to day. — What good cause have they now that ' lias not existed under every AdminisI (ration ? If they say the Territorial qnestior- — now, for the first time, there is no set i >.f Congress prohibiting Slavery nny- | where. If it he the noii-enforcpnirnt of I the laws, the only complaints that 1 hnve j ' j heard have been of the too vigorous anil , faithful fulfillment of the Fugitive Slave . ' Law. Then what reason have they ? j The Slavery question :s a mere ex- , ccse. The election of Linroln is n mere pretext. The present Secession movement is the result of nn enormous | conspiracy formed more then n year j 1 since, formed by leaders in the Southern | j Confederacy more than twclyg months [ ugo. They use the Slavery question as » menus >o aid (ho accoraplishment of their cikIs — They desired th« election of if ^othern candidate, by a sectional yote, in order to show that the two sec- ^ ' . ii<in< cannot live together- When the 1 hikiory of the two years from the Lc- ' comploii churter dowp to the Bresideu- • rial elcciiuu shall be written, it will be 1 sliown I hat the scheme was deliberately made to break np this Union. Thrr desired a Northern Republican to he elected by a purely Northern vote. ! ; and then assign this fact ns a reason i i why the sections may not longer live to- ; gether. If the Distpjion candidate in j the late Presidential contest jiad carried i the Unitod South, their scheme was, the j Xothrrn candidate successful, to seize ! the Capitol Inst Spring, and by a United South aud divided N'orjh hold it. ! ! That Kchemc was defeated in the defeat I of the Disunion candidate in several of , i the Southern Slates. JJot ijiis is no time for a detail or | causes yhe conspiracy j* now known. Armies have been raised, war is levied to accomplish it. There are only two side* to the question — Every man must be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war ; s only patriota—or traitors, j Thank God, Illinois Is not divided pn this qucslien, (Cheers ) I know they •wprited lo presept u united Bouiii i against a divided N'.orth. They hoped ) in the Northern States, party questions | ; would bring elvil war between Detpo- i • crai* and Republicans, when the South : i would step in with her cohorts, mid one j j party to conquer the oilier, and then ; make easy prey of the victors. There i scheme whs ravage aud civil war in the ' Xprib.

There is but one way to defeat thlt.it i Irr Illinois it is l»eing so defeated by j closing up the ranks. War w ill thus be , ■ prevented on ourowusoil. While there ; vras a hope of peace I was ready for ■ any reasonable sacrifice or compromise 1 1 to maintain it. But when the question i comes of war in the cotlou-fields of the , I Sooth or the coru-fields of Illinois, I -, Ajiy_thc farther . off the better. | We csuno; close our eyes to the satT I | and solemn fact that war" does exist. ' The Government must bo maintained, ) !. its enemies overthrown, and the more I stupendous our preparations the less the I I bloodshed, and the shorter the struggle. But we must remember certain restraints • , on our action even in time of war. We i i are a Christian people, and the war ; tpust be prosecuted in a manner rtcog- ' i i jiixed by Christian nations. , • We must not iuvadc Constitutional ' rights. The innocent must not suffer, i : nor women or children be the victims. 1 ' Savages must nut be let loose. But while I sapction no war on the right of ■ others, I will implore tny countrymen not to loy down theiranns umiPour own : rights nrc rccogpifud. (cheers.) The Constitution and its guarantees i : ore our birthright, and I am ready to ! enforce that inalienable right to llraJnst extent — W e cannot i tc-i; I Recognize it once, and you have nOf j ouly dissolved government, but you 1 have destroyed social order, upturned I i 1 the rouudstiups of society. You have j inaugurated anarchy in itj worst form, und will shortly experience oil the horrors of the French Revolution. Then wc have a solemn duiy to tuulu- . tain the Government. The greater our , unanimity Jhe speedier the day of peace. We have prejudices to overcome from ' the few short mouths since of a fierce ! fi-jiyr pou U-pt. Yet these must bo uli laved. Let ns lay aside all criiuinuliotis ■ : and recriminations ns to the p'p'gip of | these difficulties. When ne shall have . ngain a country with the United ling ! lioating over it, antl respected ou cveiy , : inch or American soil, it will then bo- : time enough to ask who and wbut j brought all this upon us. . I have said more than I- intended to ! [ say. (Cri.-s of "Go ou") It is a sad j . task to discuss questions so fearful us I expect it will be, I express it as my . conviction before Opt}, that it is the tin- j ty ot every American citizen to rally rouud the ling of his country, j I thank you again for this magnificent dcniun-tratiuu. By it you show you have laid Aside- party sttifc, Illinois: has u proud position. United, firm, determined never to pemit the Govern- < meut to bo destroyed. — (Prolonged ' cheering.) At the cIqsc of his addicts, nine cheers were given to Mr. Donglav, who j was escorted to his fiotel by the Com- ' mittee. ELAUTUFUl extract. 1 The following waif, auctti'on the »ta ! of reading, wc clip from aw exchange : ".Men seldom think of the great event I of death until the shadow falls across tiieir owp path, hiding forever frutp their ' eyes the traces of the loved ones whose : living smiles were the sunlight of their : , ! existence. Death is the great leveller 1 and antagonist of life, and the cold ' thought qf the tomb is the skeleton of '■ nil fealty. Wc dn not want lo go | through the dark valley, although its { passage may lead to paradise; with ; Charles Lamb, wc do not want to lie down in the muddy grave, even with j kiugs and princes for our bed fel.'ows ] , But fate of nature is inexorable.— | There is no appeal from the great law ! which dooms us to dust. We flourish j and we fade as tha leaves of the forest, ! und the flower that blooms, and withers | { in a day has not a frailer hold upon life ! than the mightiest monarch that ever i j shook the earth with his footsteps. — Generations of tacu appear and vanish ( as the grass, and the countless multitude ' which throngs the world lo-uiorrow disappears as the footsteps ou the shore." . . fei? — ~ Rr ' .
