get two-thirds vote. So they dropped the
treaty -making power, and passed a Joint resolu-
ton by a majority, and thereby treaty was
made which Mr.. Pierce calls compact. 1t was
contaminated without a two-thirds vote of the
Senate, and at no subsequent time has it ever
been ratified. Then comes the second step.
They have got Texas, with four slave States,
and now down comes the eighth section of the
act of 1920, which excluded Slavery from the
Territory of Kansas.
The Democratic organ of the Administra-
ton mot the organ of the Democratic masses)
at Washington tells us that the people of the
United States have no right to intervene. The
doctrine is non-intervention, on the part of the
people of the United States, with the question
of Slavery in the Territories, nor have they any
right to interfere by the emigration of men to
it in short that Slavery must go into the Ter
ritories of the Union. Who is it who under
takes to pass any such dictum? The leader of
this assault upon the sovereignty of the people,
upon the interests of millions who are in the
enjoyment of their rights, is Stephen A. Doug
las. But try him by the record. In 1874, that
man was in the House of Representatives, and
he voted for the prohibition of Slavery in Ore
gon. He thought then that it was perfectly
constitutional to prohibit Slavery from that
Territory; and he took care to incorporate in
ton of Texas lying north of the Both parallel
of latitude should be forever free. These at
tempts, on the part of bankrupts in politics and
bankrupts in morals, to bend the Constitution
to their unhallowed purposes, will only result
in political damnation, complete and ire
trievable. These base attempts will fail, if the
people are only true to themselves and their
past history.
The people, 1 feel confident in saying, will
never consent that this now free Territory, which
was bequeathed to them, to their children, and
to their children's children, shall ever be desc
Grated by that most inhuman curse, which has
already blighted so large portion of eur fair
land. The man who shall Persistently attempt
to deliver it up to the merciless sway of the
Slave Oligarchy, will deserve to have his name
enrolled in history by the side of the traitor Ben.
edict Arnold, and will gain credit by the associ-
alton.
Mr.. Bingham is evidently accustomed to think
on his legs, and though re followed one who,
while he spoke, had the audience all to himself,
it was soon apparent that they had transferred
their attention and their interest entirely to his
successor. Mr.. Bingham spoke about an hour,
and made some capital points, to which the au,
dience testified their lively appreciation by fire.

What then took place? The heart of the
whole North revolted at the proposed sacri-
lege-at the attempt to lend the Government
of the United States to any such unhallowed
work. That Old Man Eloquent who stood SEN
tinel in the cause OF Freedom, lifted his voice
like a trumpet agaips: Tn. proposed treason.
Cheers. The heart of the nation responded.
Mr.. Van Buren, addressed powerful and thrill
ing appeal to the people of the United States
against that profound iniquity, and the great
heart of the Democracy of the North responded
to the appeal. The great patriotic man of
Kentucky, Henry Clay, joined with Mr.. Van
Buren, and John Quincy Adams in the denunc-
alton of the treason, and l believe that the
Legislative Assemblies of every free State in the
North sent protests against it. Yet, strange to
say, it was consummated.
Behold the power of this despotic oligarchy
OF the South, that has been ruling the freemen
OF the North during the past generations. The
free press of the North, which had but just
spoken out in clear and decided tones against
that proposed act ofwickedness, became sudden
ly as dumb as if the lightning of Damascus had
struck them. They opened not their mouth
The Democratic party of the North and the
Wing party of the South were struck dumb.
The Democratic party sacrificed Mr.. Van Blu.
rem, and the Wing party sacrificed their immortal
leader, Henry Clay, because they would not lend
their names to that proposed villany. And
what was the result? 1t was consummated, with
this strange condition annexed, that four addi-
tional slave States might be carved out of that
Territory, which should be admitted as free or
as slave States, as the people therein might de-
termine.
How was that contamination brought about?
The House of Representatives would not yield
to it, nor would the Senate, and it was found
necessary to make another invasion of the Con-
stitution to do it. First, the Constitution must
be employed to bring in foreign slave State,
to maintain an equilibrium Of power. But the
| treaty-making power stood in their way. In
order to pass treaty of the United States, it was
necessary that it should have the assent of two
thirds of the Senate. And although they were
ready to do almost anything, they could not per-
suade themselves to do this, and they could not

They have no idea that any syst 10 of wrong,
in this or any other land, shall be perpetual.
Cheers. They have caught the sentiment of
the old blind John Milton, "that truth is irwin
chile, irresistible immortal, and incompatible"
Cheers. Those stern old men in '76 pledged
their lives and sacred honor to maintain these
sentiments, that all men are endowed by their

conflict with those thrilling words of Washing

Hence, while the General Government, az
