in a state of rebellion, The people peace
fully prepared an issue. by which they could
express their objection to the proceedings
of the Convention. They did SO by ten
Thousand majority The President having
established, as he there thinks, the Con-
s~lifution on principles of right. proceeds to
defend it on the principle of expediency.-
His (Stuart'sl view of a Territorial Consti-
tuition is. that it is an i~uciPieut movement for
the forInation of a State. If presented TO
Congress and refused. it is no longer a Con
siitHtion.
EVENING SESSION
The galleries are crowded. a lady has
tainted.
Mr. Douglas has just entered, and is hold
ing a private conversation with Mr. Green.
He looks sick, and everybody 10 trying 10 get
a peep al hun.
/ Mr- Bayhrd proceeded 10 demonstrate, by
reference 10 numerous legal authorities, that
the Constitution was framed with ali due
formality: that the majority was bound by
The minority, inasmuch as they are held to
10 assent 10 what they could have avoided if
they choose. He had heard that there were
no frauds in the vote as 10 whether or not
K4nsss should be admitted. The alleged
iroujs were at the sabsequpntlye legislative
election. Congress, he couteuded, had
nothing 10 do with that. Arguing the ques-
lion oil submission, De thought il would have
BEEN better 1T the Constitution had been sub
mittrd 10 the people, but that u submission
was not necessary 10 lis validity. 1t dues not
establish, DC. merely to!erates slavery, and
the Legislature can at any time emancipate
she slaves in Kansas with consent of the
owner, or by paying about SI5o,ooo can SET
the whole slave population Tree withou the
! OK ner's consent.
Mr.. Broderick reviewed, at length the
circumstances attending .he repeal Of the
Missouri Com pronisc. and the consequent
hes following that repeal. The South, he
SAID, had by that fatal measure, destroyed its
own interests, and was now seeking d RENE
dy by u repeal Of the Union. Bat wonld
dissolution, he asked, prevent the efrigra-
ton of free labor into the S1uth! No!
Where ever the land is tor homes, there
free labor will fni its way. Had the Mis-
sUuFl line been permitted to stand. the free
iabrer would not have attempted to cross II.
4 Senator had SAID that cotton is king, but
had omitted TO tell US about the fluctuations
Of that staple. Gold is king, said Mr.. Brod-
erick, and not cotton. He represented a
State where Labor is honorable, and where
the highest persons are not ashamed to own
that they have de!ved in the earth. He was
glad that the Senator from South Carolina
hal spoken about white slaves, and ne hoped
! that his language wonld stir up the two hun
dred thousand thousand white men in that
State vino are now KEEP. in subsection to a.
| L.,t .E--t., ,b,H-.rj shareholders The
Senator tr.tn South Carolina had called the
Northern laborers slaves. He did not think
him personal otherwise he stIould have no.
ticed MS remarks at the time U! their utter
ance.
He (Bfoderick) the youngest Sen1tor ex-
coping one, On that floor. lie had served
an apprenticeship oil 1--WE years at laborIous
occupation. lie was the son of a laborer,
and had only to look around that building to
see the evidence of our fathers handiwork.
He (Broderick) tired OF the struggles and
Iealousies of his class, went to California
His election in that State to this Senate was
not the result OF accident, for he had to fight.
n ct only against the opposition OF his own
party, but against presses subs lied with
Government money.
Leaving this personal explanation, he
turned to his course in the Senate.
He arrayed himself against the Lscomp-
ton Constitution, be said, because he believ-
ed that all the allegations of fraud against
that instrument had been fully proved
These frauds are known to the President,
and yet he keeps in office the men who COM
mitted them.
He no, Q ! tn t the historian of these times
would lay The attempt to force this measure,
to peiulance, failing intellect and the trem-
bling dotage of an old man lettering on the
verge of the grave.
A recess was then taken until 7 O'clock
TNote.-Tne agent of the associated press
at Washington telegraphs as follows:
"All the avenues of the Senate are so
densely thronged by multitudes anxious to
hear Mr. Douglas, that our messenger finds
il impossible to effect an entrance and the
reporters inside have been unable to send
our dispatches to the telegraph Office

auage Of that Constitution, that the right of
property is higher than any constitutional
sanction. Slave properly is as sacred as any
other, and has the Divine sanction. The is
sue now before Congress and The country is
:. shall another slave State be admitted! Do
ste gentlemen, he asked, think the South

they choose, and that when a State is add
United it may be with or without slavery.
