President de taco so likewise is the Secretary of
State, the minister at the most important foreign
court, and also the Speaker of the House OF Repre-
sentatives yet there has been complaint Of these
things by us, except as to the last, who stands on
avowed principles of hostility to our section. On
the contrary, our course has shown that, provided
simple Justice was done in matters Of principe,
we were willing to concede all that could be given
up without loss of honor. .
As it is our high duty to make q fair effort to
maintain if possible the existing Union of the States
what ought we to do in the approaching presidential
contest? Let take survey OF the field OF action
and of the combatants in it. The old wing party
(as, you remember, predicted some years ago would
be the CASEY no longer exists. For the last twelve
months it has not had friends enough in any one
State of the Union to raise banner in its name
Its former members have either gone into other Or
CARNATIONS or are waiting to take some new posi-
ton. In the North mos. of them have united with
the abolitionists and reesoi democrats and formed
a sectional party which is held together mainly by
its hostility to the South In fact its only leading
principle is anti-slavery. It has adopted the desig-
nation of republican party" though it is more
commonly called the black republican party. The
latter designation is the more appropriate not only
because, while it is devoted to the elevation of the
negroes, it ignores, disregards, and contemns the
rights of white men, but also because it is cou'-
terett Mr.. Jefferson once said that the old feder-
alists would attempt to get into power by stealing

revolutionary struggle and also that Of the cid re-
pubicans Of Jefersors day. was the question: of the
right of the people in each locality to govern them
selves and this great privilege i now denied by this
party which seeks It the same time TO deprive the

lovers of free institutions everywhere.
At subsequent stage of the debate in reply to
the Senator from New York, Mr.. Seward,
Mr.. REID said:
have forborne, Mr.. President to say anything
in regard to this important question, because deem
ed unnecessary to do so but perhaps should not
perform my duty were I not to say what honestly
believe in regard to this subject. Think if there
is anything that is perfectly clear it is that the franz
Of the Constitution intended that the several
States of this Union should regulate and control their
domestic institutions according to their own WILL
understand the Senator from New York, Mr.. Sew
ard and those who act with him, to take the ground
that they opposed to slavery. Whether the Ter
ritory of Kansas shall become free or slave State,
will not make one slave more or less; then the OPP
position to Kansas being admitted into the Union
a slave State, is not because, by its being slave
State the number of slaves is to be increased. The
Senator from New York, and those other Senators
to whom / have referred, take the ground that I'M
der the Constitution, neither the Congress of the
United States, nor any Of the States of the Union
in which slavery does not exist, have right to in
terfere with it where it does exist; but while they
say this, the Senator from New York has tonight
proclaimed that his object in admitting slave
States into the Union is to compel the slave States
to emancpate their slaves ut earlier day than they
would otherwise do Here then, the Senator from
New York has proclaimed the doctrine that it is the
avowed object Of himself, and those who act with
him. to do by indirection that which the Constitu-
ton of the United States expressly forbds them to
do. RI ttl-5 }@ =

the fact claimed?
Many of those who now sustain this Topeka con-
stitution have been engaged in the severest repro
baton of "squatter sovereignty" and the Senator
from New Hampshire MR. HALE] yesterday was
delighted with discovery he supposed he had made,
that the bill under consideration had extinguish
ed what he denominated "squatter sovereignty :"
but the only real proposition to assert and exemplify
"squatter sovereignty" with all the proper objec-
tons thereto, in naked deformity, is the Topeka
constitution And it seems it is recently attracting
opposition from source least expected. From in

plank in the Black Republican platform9 They
resolve, That Kansas should be Immediately adj
mltted as State of the Union with her present free
constitution" While the Senator from New Hamp-

consideration, yet it is significant fact that he did

conclusion at which the people of that Territory
have arrived that these gentlemen base their action.
If Massachusetts, and Missouri had carried their
millions of men and imported them there with
Sharpes rifles, and had shot down hundred thou
sand persons, yet if that government had been
formed prohibiting slavery, the Senator from Massa-
chusetts and the Senator from New York would
have been found in favor of it. Their objection
now is based upon the fact that Kansas is likely to
become slave State, and not upon the manner in
which the government there has been conducted.
This must be evident to every one who has impair
TALLY noticed the course of this debate. The gen.
tlemen have long claimed that they had the majori-
ty there until you propose to permit them to have
another trial. and now they admit that they have
not majority, but yet they insist that they ought
to have constitution in opposition to the majority.
The Senator from New York talks great deal about
freedom; and from what can learn from that Sena.
tor the definition of freedom with him is, to obey
his will. Sir, that is freedoml Now, according to
his definition of freedom you will never have free
dom in Kansas until you have constitution there
which inhibts slavery, no matter whether the peo-
pie in favor of it not; and that he will term
freedom!
Mr.. President, I ask the Senator from Massachu-
sets whether after his avowa that if Kansas adopts
constitution toleratng slavery, he and his people
will not admit Kansas into the Union because she is
slave State, he can ask southern man to come
up here and vote for the admission of free States
as he will not vote for the admission of slave States
viii he in regard to Nebraska, require me to vote
for such government as the people of that Terri
tory may adopt when he will not vote for the id.
mission of Kansas with such a government as q
majority of the people there may adopt? If he
desires to carry out this government in that spirit,
does he expect that the southern people will submit
toit! put it to him g candid man, could he
ask them to do it? Will he with impunty violate
and trample under foot the Constitution of his coun
try, and then come up and ask me to alb ide by it
afterwards?

AT the Fillmore headquarters speakers are
dissuading the Americans from votingthe Onion

the Union ticket as the only method to prevent
Buchanan from obtaining the vote of the State.
All is confusion and nobody can predict coming
events.
Later reports about the withdrawal of the

move is not entertained by the committee and
they deny that single elector has withdrawn
The committee was not in session to-day except
for issuing tickets, on which they have resolved
