To abide by the legislation imposed on them by
Legislature elected by the inhabitants of neigh
boring State, stealing in there under the orders Of
a secret society, to prevent the real setters from
voting, by fraud, by force, and by terror
Now, sir, what was the character Of the legis-
Iation2 II was of the same bastard description
with the Legislature itself. 1t was disgrace TO
American citizens; a series of laws unknown to
the history of American legislation. know that
the Senator from Tennessee, fMr, JOINS, In a
speech made by him at an early period of the
session, said that the laws In Kansas on the
subject of Slavery, were not half severe enough;
that where they punished with the penitentiary,
he would promptly punish with death. He pro.
claimed that there was not State in the Union
which had not just such laws, do not think he
has studied the legislation of the country out of
Tennessee OR even in 1t. do not know what
are the laws of Tennessee, and do not know
States generally, for have not looked to ascer~
tain; but l will not believe, aptil am compelled
by the inspection Of the records to believe, that
American citizens anywhere succumb to such
miserable legislation as that. One law Furnishes
q man with long Imprisonment for taking into
the Territory any book, document writing, or
paper, containing any statement fact or argument,
calculated to stir up the slaves to insurfection.
My colleague thought that was pretty good
kind of legislation or, al all events, that it was
that kind which they were obliged to make use
Of in slave States, and would be good enough for
that reason. AS he is an advocate for making
Kansas slave State, he is an advocate for this
kind of law. The Senator from Tennessee sup
poses that spoh laws exist in the State of Ohio
Why, good heavens there Is not boy in the
streets who would not contravene such proyis
ion, and come within the penalties thirty times a
day. In Ohio, the speech and the preas are as
free as the winds that blow across eur fields. No
man stands there to measure his words. If he
were to 60 to Kansas, he would find this trap set
TO catch him in its tolls. What book could he
take theref de must inspect his library very
closely; ne must remember every word In his
books; he must leave out the best literature in
the English language, or he will be condemned

yigotols as that from the North, to say netting
Of the emigration from abroad. Did any man for
a moment believe that anything could be gained
to Slavery by the faithful application of this
principle2 No, sir; they knew it WELL South
ern gentlemen do not contend for that kind of
squatter sovereignty but they put their faces like
brass against it, knowing that, If carried out in
its true spirit, it would deprive them of all new
territory forever. Hence they raise their voices
against it.
When they sternly rebuked the advocates of
this sQuatter sovereignty, those gentlemen turned
Foulo, and resorted to a miserable absurdity
They do not say, there is no such thing as popu-
lar sovereignty; but, if you consult the first re-
port of the chairman of the Committee on Terri
tories, you will find that he talks of sovereignty
suspended in allegiance. Who eyer heard of that
before2 have heard of bears and woodchucks
being suspended, and in allegiance, during the
winter, but / did not know that it applied to
sovereignty. / supposed that whoever possessed
sovereignty could exercise jurisdiction, or else
there was no sovereignty at all. What an idea
to talk about sovereignty suspended in abey-
ance, held in trust by the Congress of the United
States! It was q complete backing out it was
a reputation of squatter sovereignty, at the bid
ding of those whose mandate some are accus-
toned to obey. l have not had time to examine
this latter report OF the COMMITTEES on Terrific
ries, but doubt whether this doctrine is so much
as named there. do not say that it is not men
toned, for have not read it. First, we were
told that the sovereignty was suspended in abey-
ance; then, the first bill of the committee was
abandoned and now another one is reported
tying up every loophole of discretion in the peo-
pie of the Territory, not leaving them single
thing on which to legislate. l am inclined to
suppose that even the doctrine of suspended SOW
ereignty held in allegiance is dropped, and do
not think it will wake up in the spring. It has
done its work, and it will be heard of no more.
I hope the people will not be troubled any
longer with vain idea that there is to be fair
composition for the Territories, and that the in
habitants are to be allowed to frame their insti-
tutions a. they think proper. How has it been
in Kansas? How is it there to-dayY How did
Mr.. Atchison and Mr.. Stringfellow and all Mis-
souri, understand it2 My colleague and the Sem
ator from Illinois have argued that there might
