Description
Excerpt from Speeches of Douglas and Lincoln: Delivered at Charleston, Ill., Sept. 18th, 1858
Permit me to pursue this subject a little further. An examination of the record proves that Trumbull's'charge - that: the Toombs bill originally containined a clause requiring the con stitution to be submitted to the people - is false. The printed Copy of the bill, which Mr. Lin coln held up before you; and which he pretends contains such a clause, merely contains a clause requiring a submission of the land grant, and there is no clause in it requiring a sub missiva of the Constitution. Mr. Lincoln cannot find such a clause in it. My report shows that we took it for granted that the people would require a submission of the the constitution, and secure it for themselves. There never was a clause in the 'l'oombs bill requiring the con1 stitution to be submitted, Trumbull knew it at the time, and his speech made on the night of its passage discloses the fact that he knew it was silent on the subject. Lincoln pretends, and tells you that Trumbull has not changed his evidence in support of his charv e since h made his speech 111 Chicago. Let us see. The chicago times took up Trumbull' s Chioag 9 [13 And until the rcomplete execution of this act, no other election shall be held in said lterritory. Umbull says that the object of. That amendment was to' prevent the conventionwt'roml subinittinguthe constitution to a vote of the people. 1~ mnow, I will show you that. When 1trumbull' made that' statementvatcalton he knew it to}; untlrile I read from Trumbull's speech in the. Senate on the Toombs bill on theft night iof its,* passage. He then said. 111. 1 111m 1.
