1t was not the mans fault-it was the
Makers fault" Here somebody called
Randolph to order, but the Chair observed
that Mr.. Randolph was not out of order,
unless i. was out of order to speak in that
way of the Almighty. "Oh, vel" ex-
claimed Randolph, 81 don't want to git
down on the old man."
Oct 30, in tho discussion on Slavery,
Mr.. Randolph
"Wanted nothing but the clear-strained
rosum. Wanted to strike out the word
emancipate, and the right Of the Legisla-
ture to allow owners to emancipatc their
slaves. Niggers we're sent down expressly
! by the Deity to wait on white men. He
denied that they were "buman." He de-
MED that it was traffic in human flesh.
They were species of the longarmed ape.
1t was wrong to make any provision what
ever for emancipation. The Bible estab-
lished Slavery; the speaker was familiar
with some parts of it, and referred the
Convention to Leviticus. lie said the
main work of the North was this same
business of emancipation, and why should
this Convention use this word "emancipa-
ton" in any case, unless We want to help
such as my friend and fellow traveller to
eternity, Horace Greeley, in what they
want to do? The niggers themselves were
opposed to this thing Of emancipation
They would vote for Slavery if they had
the chance. The safest way of submitting
the Constitution would be to the niggers
of Old Virginia. Some Of the delegates
wanted to strike out the word "slave''
wherever it occurred and insert the word
property" If they would do this, it
would gull lot of the Abolitionists. Now
those who wanted to do SO must either
think that they were almighty smart, or
that the Abolitionists we're pack Of awfu,,
FOOLS He wanted it slave all the time"
Nov S, on the question of submission
of the Constitution, Mr.. Randolph
"Thought there we're two qualifications
for great man; the first was impudeuce,
and the second ignorance. He wanted to
show what be said /; he may not remember
all, he said, but there is one thing be
wrote. (He read from his circular He
had been in favor of submitting all of the
Constitution or none. He was in favor of
submitting it to vote of the true, bona
fde residents of Kansas, or not at all He
thought he was at the bottom of the class,
and could hardly spell submission. If
there was one thing be despised, it was the
Fourth. of.July style of orators. He sar-
castically alluded to Mr.. Jones and the
Union, and the Tree of Liberty. Why,
the bark had all been scraped off it. So
many aspiring men were climbing up that
tree, and they turned so many somersets,
that they had knocked all the bark off
Speak of the Democracy-for the Demo-
cracy he had refused to vote for his best
friend, Gen. Taylor. For the Democracy
he had forsaken the gallan: Scott, whom
be had followed to Mexico, aud voted for
Frank Pierce, who was coward and faint
ed. If the Democracy could not maintain
the cause of the South, why, let it 60 in
pieces. What did the Democracy do in the
Presidential campaign in the North Got
THREE States. Now, what was this
scheme? What is said? Why, here We
have two Constitutions, one for Slavery,
aud one without. Well, that's good one.
Yes, you may laugh /; it's just humJug.
The fact is, lisa Slave State Constitution,
and Slave State Constitution That's it
you may laugh. I'll tell you, the world
will soon be laughing at US. guess by
this time the news of it is going On the
lightning to the New York Tribune, aud
if it isn't it ought to be. This is grand
humbug. It's not fair. 1t is supposed by
some of the gentlemen here that they are
awful smart, or that the Abolitionists are
awful fools. We expect them to vote for
Slave State in this way. They are not
such fools as you suppose. But let us
suppose that they are such fools. Is it
right that we should swindle them in this
way? 1t isn't fair. won't do it. If
We are to submit it at all, submit it fair;
let them have Free State Constitution if
they vote to beat us, or do not submi. it at
all. tell you this scheme of swindling
submission will be the blackest page in
your history, and We will never hear the
end of it. We won't make much capital
out Of this dodge, tell you. These Black
Republicans will get to the bottom of it
so quick that you will never cease to hear
from this dodge. The only consistent,
straig gh.forward, honest way is to make
our Constitution aud to send it on to Con
gress. He believed Congress will admit
US; and if they will not, let our defeat lie
at their door. This humbugging, ,dodging
way he did not believe in. He wanted to
be open and above board. They would
learn that they could neither deceive the
country nor the Black Republicans. lie
wanted to make the Constitution and send
it to Congress, and be believed :hey will
admit US and be glad to do it,"
Nov. I, same question, Mr.. Randolph
again
"Referred to his position be had been
elected as a non submission man. He had
never voted for submission in any shape,
and never would. Ho would vote for sub
mission only in one way. He Woald sub
nit it to such of the Free State men as
had been two years in the Territory, and
who could get fourteen decent Pro-Slavery
