GEN. QUITMAS's PosITIoH.-It is known
that Gen. QUITNAE differed with his colleagues
from Mississippi in regard to the report of the
Kansas Conference Committee. 1t is due to
bin that his constituents should know the
grounds upon which bis opposition 10 The Re-
port was placed. We give them in his own
concise words, taken from the debate 10 the
House. If the political enemy can derive any
" aid and comfort from the reasons Of this
noble and pure-minded man, they are welcome
to it:
Mr.. QUITMAE-WiIl the gentleman allow me
to say few words in reply 10 his speeuldtious /
on my position2
MT. MIILsox-I win yield to the gentle
man.
Mr.. QUITNAS-I had not intended, after |
seeking the floor yesterday without success, to /
trouble the House with stating the reasons why |
| opposed this bill, but can give them in few |
words. ] conslTue the bill reported by the Gem /
mittee Of conference as an express Submission 1
Of the question OF The admission Of Kansas un-
der the LscOmptOn Constitution back TO the 1
people Of Kansas, and thus virtually referring /
to them the adoption or reje,iion of the consti 1
tuition, the more Objectionable because that
reference is not made to the quasi sovereignty I
which acted upon that instrument originally. |
nor to the people acting under an organized |
government, but to disorganized mass Of vo- /
ters, who cannot speak for the sovereignty Of /
State.
oppose the measure, in the second place. /
because it is concession upon this question |
which /, as Southern man, an not prepared |
to make. regard this contest as a mere iaci- ]
dent 10 the slavery question. l am desirous OF
seeing this great issue between the North and 4
South brought to fair, honest, and fnai settle |
meHt, which shall forever tecoghize the full /
constitutional equality Of the slaveholding I
states. X we can come to terms, DO man IN /
the House will rejoice more than ]. II wsean- /
not let Us separate. These are the main res /
sons Why J oppose this bill
l vii answer the other question propouBdsd /
BY the gentleman, that look upon the act of /
the people Of Kansas az eoDplete-as an act
Of qaEsi sovereignty, with the CO sent Of the
United States, IN the formation Of z 5onstitu-
tion. ] regard that act az complete and bind
ing upon the people Of Kansas, and ss the only
voice, that we have received here in regard to
their will. have opposed the reference Of the
whole question back to the people Of Kansas,
OF even 20 any political power in Kansas and
/ oppose II now the more because It is simply
reference back 70 the individual men who may
be entitled to vote at the time this vote is to be
taken. These are, in short, some Of the rea
sons Why, with all respect for the opinions Of
Of M political friends, cannot support this
bill. ! will not take any more Of the gentle
mans time hv aaVfuQ mare
