SPEECH OF THE HON. Z. Y. STANTON.
Mr.. President and gentlemen :--The admission - Q
new State into this conederacy the advent Of snother
be to participate in the enjoyment Of that irhcrtssce
of liberty which belongs to this glorious Union. h under
all circumstances an important event. But In tho soa-
nation which pervades this large assemeieSe OF t1o
people Of New-York, animation which has evdenty
not been produced by the employ OF mere parry
,nachinery see something than that cxctemoat
which naturally attends sucn an event In the history
of our republic. More than one third OF ceatuy
ago similar event produced similar intense exc,te-
spt extending TO the very exre mites Of this confsd
eracy In the central parts OF the continent, 10 his
sour and Kansas there seems 10 reside some nhuence
powerfu for GOOD for evil upon the destincs OF The
republic. II remains to be seen, and but Q shcxt
period will be necessary TO determine whether this
power consists OF that attractive foree which I'll
bind the Union together in perpetual harmocy,
or whether IL is 10 be Of that volcanic and oxplo-
i've nature which will rend IL into fragments sod
destroy il forever. In my humble judgnsu', Il
will prove to be one or the other OF these, sccord-
ing as truth and uttce and honor shsl prevail or a.
fsIsehood wrong and fraud should triumph In the
,reat act of Admission. Cheering. came tonight
nv fellow. coubtrymeD, al the invitation Of your
friends for tho purpose Of presenting to you the
IONS wheS y ~ onsit G psvssS the
mental law OF the State of ksnsas--to prevent the
imposition OF that government upon the people Of
Kansas, who deliberately rejected it, Ia order TO do
this il will be necessary for me 10 give you plain
vanished statement Of facts which are withio my
knowledge, which part of my experience through
the period Of my service 10 that distant Territory.
Mr. President you have truly said TO the people hero
assembled, that it was not at my solicitation that
took the position which occupied during the greates
part OF the ast year. had no ambition to launch my
unpreterdDg bark upon the troubled waters of knss
and nothing was further from my expectation one week
before found myself on the way to the Missouri
River, than TO find myself going in that drectios.
The mission was wholly unexpected 60 me. II is q
matter OF very little CONSEQUENCE to yon gentletneo,
ylofU taako -
the position 1t will be sufficient for my purpose here
tonight, and for your understanding OF tho subject
for me to say that partly ut the solicitation Of Gov.
Walker Consented 10 go With him. for the purpose of
doing what could do with my poor abilities to serve
my country in that arduous portion. TCheersl Bat
neither Gov. Walker myeelf were so blind 70 iu-
proyljent es 10 undertake that solemn duty without
having marked out for u.s. and perfectly Understood
and agreed upon, line Of policy which seemed TO us
and to the Adminstration TO be calculated, IL any
thing could be calculated, TO bring about peace and
harmony in that distant region Of our country.
The fundsmcn>a principle agreed upon between the
President and his Cabinet on one side and Gov.
Walker and my humble se the other side 10 far as
had any thing to do with 1.-THE Fundamental pruci-
pie, and that which Wa obv ousy the Only principle
upon which anything could be Effected was the soys-
reguty Of the people. (Contirued spplsusel II was
