Twenty-four years ago, about this time, was
terminated the great contest between General !
Jackson and the Bank Of the United stes. [
Applause. It was predicted then, fellow
citizens, aud If this policy was carried cut, j,
would bankrupt aud destroy the country; BIT
after the House, By majority Of its VOTES, de-
cisred that the removal Of the depOsifcs wa
legal sni constitutional, the country responded
TO that call, end universal prosperity prevailed
thereafter. Now, fellow-ci.izens, after four
years contest with secti0nalism, We have de-
claTed that the principle Of popular sovereign
IS shall prevail in Kansas, and If Kansas ac-
cepts, then it is she will come into the Union
with the republican form, commanding all the
guarantees that are given under that admission.
IL she rejects it because she receives millioTs
OF the public domain as other States have IT.
ceiVed them coming into the UHioR, aud de-
msnds il as paramount Of her admission. then.
let Kansas shrek, and lether bleed, applause
toT she shall never cone IN ultil she has slfh-
cient population. So far IS | am concerned, |
have not participated in this discussion. But
1 hope you will stand firmly by the Chief Mag
issrate, as you stood By Gen. Jackson, 20 put
down this monster-the Bank of the United
Ststes-and We will have peace and unity; and
If you will give Us the Pacific Railroad, We will
have a happy and united country, indeed.

Mr.. CLAY's SPEECH
FRIENDs Ia the old time my name was often
associated with this White House where we
now stand Those times have gone They
are passed, and there is nothing to be realized
beyond what We have at present-a Clay,
humble follower in the ranks Of the Dsmocra \
cY. A voice, "GOod," and applause A
great victory has been accomplished-a victory
which it has taken months at the other end Of
the avenue 10 achieve for as. Thank God it
has az last been accomplished, aud this coun-
try may look for quiet and peace. Blescing
Kansas 10 longer will have occasion to send
her shrieks to the federal Capitol. She is d
member now by her own will, following out the
doctrine which was proclaimed a. the other end
OF the avenue in 1850. She is brought now
without Intervention, By The voice Of her Own
peonle, into the Union Of States, aud to be one
Of the glorious Union, without let aud without
hindrance, except II be Of The miserable polti-
clans who have 50 long distracted her and dis
traeted this land. IApplsuse eoHgratu-
late you that 10 the administration Of Mr..
Buchanan that good deed has been done.
you that an end is bow put 70 the
miserable question Of slavery, which has 50
long distracted our glorious country. Cheers ]

Mr.. LEToBKR's SPEECH.
Il affords me very great pleasure 10 see 80
large a concourse Of the citizens OF Washing
ton-the metropolis Of the Union--assembled
on an occasion so interesting as this. ! am
gTatiisd in seeing the spirit you have exhibited
in commanding the action Of two Houses OF
Congress yesterday. | have no doubt that in
less than thirty days, or less time, peace will
be restored TO this country, and We shall hear
nothing more OF this question Ct slavery; bat
that We shall be, as we ought 10 be, a band Of
brothers Tor years 70 come Cheers There
is something a little remarkable IA the passage
Of this measure. L was passed exactly By
nine In each House, and some OF you, at least,
well kIow that a full band Of nine is rather
hard to beat. Laughter ana applause. !
trust now this measure, baving passed both
Houses, will be approved by the President aud
announced to the country as the laS OF the
land. and that hereafter we shall have the
Union frmls established upon the principles
fixed BY cur fatbers-a Union under the Con
stitution, where the rights Of al sections are
70 be respected and preserved. Cheers
