do not vouch for the correctness of these
statements.
Now, are not Senators prepared to adopt
the amendment l have proposed, or the res
olution proposed by the Senator from I'LL
nois, and examine these charges before they
hurry this State into the Union against the
manifest hostility of the people?
At the 4th of January election, Delaware
Crossing gave, it is said, forty-three votes.
These votes had not got in when Gov. Den
yer, and Mr.. Deitzler and Mr.. Babcock
counted the votes. 1t now turns out that
the returns have come in from that Crossing
where forty-three votes were given, and
they have returned three hundred and sew
enty-nine majority for the slave ticket, and
that ticket is elected by that vote, being
eight Representatives from Leavenworth
district and three Councillors, making a
change of six in the Council and sixteen in
the House, changing the whole political
complexion of the State.
The frauds in Kanzas are patent to the
whole country; nobody doubts them.-
There is not an intelligent man in America
who doubts them. When these charges
have gone over this country, why is it that
the President of the United States, against
the protests of some of the ablest and
best men of his party, in this body and
in the other House; against the voice of
the press of his party in The Northwest !;
against the intelligence that comes flashing
over the wires and by mail, by presses and
by letters from all quarters of the Union,
sends in this message misrepresenting, mis-
stating the affairs in kanZas, and pressing
its prompt admission Why is it that
Senators-honorable men-men who ought
to scorn to do mean thi1g-also press it !?
Why is it that this is pressed, to be hur-
ried through, and this act consummated,
y,
twelve or thirteen thousand men of that
Territory voted against this Constitution,
and there were only six thousand seven
hundred votes cast for it on December 21,
of which three or four thousand were un-
questionably fraudulent. l say there is
only one power on this continent that could
thus control, direct and guide men, and that
is that gigantic slave power which holds this
Administration in the hollow of its hand,
that guides and directs the Democratic par
ty, and which has only to stamp its foot,
and the men who WELD the Government of
this country tremble and submit and bow
to its will.
Senators talk about the dangers of the
country. Great God! What are our dan
gers? The danger is that there is such a
power, local, sectional power, that can
control this Government, can ride over JUS
tice, ride over a wronged people, consum
mate glaring and outrageous frauds, and
override and trample down the will of a
brave and free people. That is the danger.
The time has come when the freemen of this
country, looking to liberty, to popular right,
to justice, to all sections of the country,
should overthrow this power and trample it

come when the people should rise in the
majesty of conscious power, and hurl from
office and from places of influence the men
who thus bow to this tyranny.
Senators are anxious about the Union
The Senator from Delaware Mr.. Bayard
to-day thought it was in peril. Well, sir,
l have no alarm about it. [ am in the

thing to keep them in the Union. But all
this continent now in the Union is American
soil, and a part of my country; and my
vote and my influence, now and forever,
will be given to keep it part of my coun-
try.
