power The new book upon Kansas by
Governor Geary' Secretary which reflects
Gearys opinions, tells us that there is ga
power behind the throne which is greater
than the throne. He says that it is an ad-
mitted fact that the people of Missouri
claim 1t as light guaranteed to them by
the Northern Democracy that Kansas
should be slave States; that the North
thern Democracy is under solemn
pledge to them. Hence these innumera-

crimsoned Kansas skies by the flames oi

redeemed Kansas soil with the blood of her
people.
Gov. Chase then recited a summary oi

actments of the Bogus Legislature, show

itory for the benefit of slavery, and ex-

Walker has resorted, during his admins
tration, to deceive the Free State men and
play into the hands of the South. And
after showing how Walker had infested
Lawrence with U. S. dragons, and pro-
nounced them in state of instructions

dogs out of their Streets" nor in man

the Bogus Legislature, he continued

thing about State Rights.) I am bring
ing you to that question. 1 will show
that these aggressions of slavery encroach
upon State Rights: that they have inva
ded the Sovereignty Of Ohio.
Seven years ago the Democracy were
the party of freedom. I was of them.
They continually adopted resolutions in
their meetings and conventions, denoun-
cling slavery, and asserted their deter
mlnatlon to resist its extension by all
possible constitutional means. Govern
or Wood, in his inaugural, pronounced
it thing of State creation, and the Dem
ocratic Convention eulogized his admins
tration, and indorsed his sentiments. He
held that Congress undoubtedly had the
right, and ought to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia, not only as mat
ter of expediency, but as matter of right
to the colored race. Ofthe Fugitive Slave
Law, Gov. Wood said, sit can never re-
ceive the cooperation of free people. -
With these declarations, popular even
here in this State among the Democracy,
he was nominated, and his faith emphati-
cally indorsed.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, in 1850, said
Slavery is matter left with the States.
The General Government has no right to
send its officers into the States to execute
the Fugitive Slave Law" and pronounced
this doctrine ''the Democratic, and the
Federal reading of the Constitution. "
According to Democracy nowadays, the
Fugitive Slave Law is the Federal reading
of the Constitution.
The Sandusky Mirror dem soon af-
ter denounced the law The Ohio States
man, edited by Citizen Sammedary, in re-
ply to query by the State Journal, said
"We would lot have voted for the law
{ Fugitive Slave Law with or without GER
tain notifications. -
The Cleveland Plaindea1er (Dem., J
which said that Judge Ranney would 'sGnd
it hard shedding in a Douglas, Nebraska,
bred Scott Convention" pronounced the
Slave Law of "infernal origin, and wheth
er constitutional or not, is unjust" And
in addition to hosts of other Democratic
prints, the New Lisbon Ohio Patriot, then
edited by ex-Auditor Morgan, denounced
it as ga bill of denominations, and mon
strous, which gives every advantage to
the side of bondage" I was then Dem
ocrat. l hold to the faith they have de-
serted, and I will hold fast to it. (Cheers)
Mr.. Payne, the Douglas Nebraska, Dred
Scott candidate, voted for the resolution
indorsing Gov. Woods inaugural, and
where is he now?
STATE RIGHTS.
(Gov. Chase now recited the facts Of
the late Rescue Case and made some
strong points, but the late hour of the
night precludes us from writing out his
In conclusion of the subject,
however, be said):
We have right to have our State laws
obeyed. We don't mean to resist fede-
raj authority. Just or unjust laws, proper
ly administered, will be respected. If
we will go to the ballot box
and redress our wrongs. But we have
rights which the federafgovernment must
not invade-rights superior to its power,
on which our Sovereignty depends, and
We do mean to assert these rights against
all assumptions of authority.
WHAT WE WILL DO.
know not what will be done in Cham
paign county. The Courts will determine
that. But I do know that if the Marshals
who violated our laws are indicted, and
lie writs for their arrest are placed in
,he hands of our State officers, THEY
SHALL BE EXECUTED (Shouts and
great applause.) And we expect the
Federal Government to submit.
l believe with Jefferson that the car
linal principle of our Union is the perser
Fation of the reserved rights of the States i
and if we have certain organic laws, if we
wish to maintain our liberties, we must
nave our laws obeyed. Unless we sus-
sain our officers we forfeit our freedom,
and are worse than the veriest slaves of
