tution--its kgitimaie offspring. Some
of those who had justified ali the oulra-
ges i1 Kansas down to the question oi
admitting Kansas under the Lecompsoa
Constitution, opposed it also, and hare
heard il said that my distinguished col.
league claims credit for opposing and
killing it. Why, my fellow citizens, my
colleague was brushed ont OF the way q
,cu would brush away hy. In the Sen.
ate Of the United States, they passed j,
over the heads Of the Republicans with
all the assistance Judge Douglas could
give rs He was counseling with US and
advising With Us, and attempting to de-
wise plans BY which i. could be defeated,
yet il went through the Senate with de-
cided majority; but in the House Of Rep
where the Republicans were
stronger, they made stand against it,
aud the question was taken on rejecting
this Lecompton Constitution, this fraud
ulent concern, and but a single so called
Democra; voted against it, but a single
one, Major Harris Of this State-,ha,
was the oaly man save the Republicans,
who would come up like man and vote
to reject and kill the thing forever
Good for one nan--three cheers for
Harris Fellow citizens, do not mean
that there was but one man who voted
against i'll think there were nine-fye,
but We got but little help from these men
who claim credit for having defeated il;
that is what | mean to say.
The proposition was made to ams,d the
bill, and it resulted in what you know IS
the Engiish-I believe some people call
it swindle--but it is nc matter now, the
people of kansas buried 1t out Of sight
On Monday last iGreat cheers. Nov
where are these men, who upon that mat
ter united with the Republicaus--whcre
are they?
They say that they differ with the ad-
u'lnissrstion upon single measure. What
i that measurt7 Why. it was the adop-
tica Of the Lecou.ptou Constitution, aud
admitting Kansas a. State under Il.
We'll, that was temporary issue, aud is
dead, buried, past all gone forever.
There l. the eud of il, Where are the
men then who united with the Republi-
cans to defeat that iniquity and fraud,
who have proclaimed in loud tones that
Il was svindie, and that there wa sn
anhoiy attempt 70 force that swindie upon
the people OF Kansas, They have Eons
back and united with these men who con-
spircd to force this constitution upon the
people Of Kansas against their will. They
lre singular sort of associates for homes,
men to pick, and they claim to stand
With them Now | wish that this bury
ING of the Lecompton Constitution by
he people was the end Of this question,
md ths. freedom nigh. triumph forever
But the contest is not end
"a. This is but one of series of acts
adopted BY this party in 1854, when the
policy Of the country was changed in re-
gard to the government CT the Territories
IN the subject Of slavery.
The power which was then naugurated
s using all the departments Of this gov.
srument, not merely to extend Slavery
nto Kansas, and bring it in Slave State,
1ut to make all the interests of this
great country subordinate to the Slave
Power, and the 1espotism OF Washington
: almost as cruel as that which has pre-
failed IN Kansas. There is not, holding
,fiice, throughout this vast country, q
single man who is known to eatertsin
views in opposition TO the right to take
Slaves into free territories. Il is an ut
or disqualification for Office. All the
departments at Washington arc organ
zed upon the plan Of prescribing men
Who belive that slavery should be exclu-
led from the free territories. All the
in Congress--or all the i'm
,or;ant ones-which mature the business
or the action of Congress, are under the
control OF this same power. The Su-
,reme Court is under the control OF this
'ame power.
You all recollect the case which excl.

When Senator Of the Uni.ed States

But worse state Of things than that ex-

iood, and has been suffering from tha,
lay to this, and who his best friends fear
nay never recover, suffering with an

upon him unawares and without

ralk, has since mode his appearance in
he Senate Chamber, having been re-elec-

'ises With difficulty from his chair, TWO
