and dangerous to their property, rushed ovel
the border, controlled the elections and gave the
Territory code of lays diagraceful to them
selves, their country and their age. And there,
upon the emigrants from the North got up 9
party convention, adopted party constitution
and set up party authority in opposition to those
constituted by Congress. Nothing but coils.
sion was to be expected and collision came
Outrages and assassinatons multiplied; parties
were arraying themselves into opposing hosts
armed for deadly conflict when as was its i'm.
perious duty, the government interposed to pre-
vent the fratricidal war A measure was devi-
sed to enable the whole people Of Kansas to
participate in the formation of a constitution
upon which they should be admitted into the
Union, and provision was made to secure per-
feet freedom of opinion and action to every vo-
ter, that the will of the majority might be tru-
ly expressed in the institutions of the new State
But this measure was denounced by the Nor
thern leaders Of aggression" as intended tC
make Kansas slave State; and some of them
openly avowod that they did not intend to let 0
majority rule on the subject of slavery, unless
the opinions of that majority corresponded with
their own And this dictatorial and tyranica
principle is at the bottom of this cry of ''nc
more slave states. The people of states who
have done as they pleased on this subject, arc
called upon to force their notions on the new
States, under the penalty of exclusion from the
Union.
What would be said if Southern men were tt
raise the cry mo more free Statesn' Should W.
not hear an endless and just eIamor against the
arrogance and aggrossions of the "slaYe power,
and witttess organizations to resist its encroach
ments? And is the reverse cry Of 'no NOR,
slave States" coming from the other end of thu
Union less arrogant and aggressive?
To find REMEDY for present disorders and
give security to the Union, is the glorious mis-
sion Of the American Democracy. Their means
are to be found in an inhexible adherence to the
| principle that every community which proposes
to placo its star upon cur banner shall, like Mss
sachusetts and Virginia, be allowed to deal will
the subject Of slavery just as it peases. They
must take measures to secure to the people o
Kansas, without the interference Of ''border ruff
fans" or any other ruffans, the right to frame
their own constitution and make their own laws
and must then admit them into the Union OF

In its triumph there is safety and peace, and il

would be a dissolution Of the Union; but l d
say it would be portentous step in that direc
ton. Elected by divided North, with an uni
