now pass, 10 the third place, to the consid-
Grafton Of the Uarious remedies proposed, end
ing with the TRUE REMEDY.
The Remedy should be co~eKtensye with
the original Wrong and since, by the pas
sage Of the Nebraska Bill not only Kansas,
but also Nebraska, Minnesota, Washington
and even Oregon, have been opened 10 Sla-
very, the original Prohibition should be re-
stored to its complete activity throughout
these various Territories BY such happy
restoration, made in good faith the whole
country would be replaced 10 the condition
which it enjoyed before the introduction of
that dishonest measure. Here is the Alpha
and the Omega Of our aim 40 this coniroycr-
sy. Bot no such extensive measure Is now
in question. The Crime against Kansas has
been special, aud all else is absorbed 10 the
special remedies for Il. OF these | shall now
speak.
As the Apologies were four-fold, so are
the Remedies proposed four-iod, and they
range themselves in natural order, under
designations which so truly disclose their
character as even to supor3ede argument
First, we have the Remedy Of Tyrnnnyi
next the Remedy Of FoIly next the Rnmc-
dy Of Injustice and Civil War; and foufthy
the Remedy Of Justice and Peace. There

There is the Remsdy Of Tyranny which,

by the Senator from Illinois proceeds from
the President and is embodied in special
message. II proposes to enforce obedience

no local laws except those imposed by
the Usurpaton from Missouri, and it calls for
additional appropriations to complete this
work Of tyranny.

expose simply the Tyranny which up
holds the existing Usurpaton, and asks for
additional appropriations. Let 1t be Judged
by an example, from which n this country
there can be no appeal. Here is the speech
OF George III made from the Throne TO
Parliament, IN response 10 the complaints Of
the Province of Massachusetts Bay, which
though smarfing under laws passed hy usur>
ped power, had yet avoided all armed Oppo-
sitIon, while Lexington and Bunker lin sui

the historic kindred which they were soon
to claim. Instead Of Massachusetts Bay 10
the Royal speech, substitute Kansas, and the
message OF the President will be found fresh
on the lips OF the British King. Listen now
10 the words, which, in opening Parliament,
3Oth of November, l77i, his Majesty, accor
ding 10 the official report, was pleased to
speak:

The King complained Of daring spirit
Of resistance and dsobedence to the law !"
50 also does the President. The King adds
that IS has broke forth IN fresh violence of
a very criminal nature:" so also does the
President The King declares that these
proceedings have been "cnuntenanced and
encouraged in other Of my Colonies" :" even
so the President declares that Kansas has
found sympathy IN "remotc States The
King inyeighs against unwarraniabe at
tempts' and unlawful combinations :" even
so inveighs the President The King pros
claims that he has taken the necessary steps
" for carrying into execution the laws"
passed in defiance OF the constitutional rights
Of the colnes even so the President pro-
claims that he shall exerI the whole power
of the Federal Executive to support the
Usurpaton m Kansas. The parallel is com
plete. The Message, if not copied from the
Speech of the King, has been fashioned on
the same original block, and must be dis
missed to the same limbo | dismiss It's ~
ranical assumptions in favor of the Usurpa-
ton. dismiss also It's petition for addition

cease, aud peace will he restored. For mys

artillery with fresh appropriation bills, when
it's murderous hail Is to be directed against
the constitutional rights Of my fellow citi-
zens.
NEXT comes the Remedy Of Folly, which,
indeed, is also a Remedy of Tyranny but
Its Folly is so surprising as to eclipse even
its Tyranny. 1t does not proceed from the
President. With this proposition he is not
in any way chnrgeable. It comes from the
Senator from Slu,h Carolina, who, at the
close of long speech offered II as his single
contribution to the adjustment Of this ques-
lion, and who thus far stands alone IN It's
support. It might, therefore, ftly bear his
name but that which now give to it IS
more suggestive SYNONYM.
This proposition, nakedly expressed, is
that the people Of Kansas should be deprived
of their arms. That may not DO the least
injustice to the Senator quote his precise
words
