Mr.. Toombs then proceeded to argue The
right Of Kansas 70 be admitted under the L.
compton Constitution, contending that hse
claims was three.fold, and supporting bic posi-
record Of bis own bill and explained il peovi-
sions, following mp the various points Of NJ.
Cristendens speech. he agreed 10 the legality
Of the Lecompton Constitution and The duty -
Congress to pass it.
J. How could his friend, Mr. Crittendsn, he
asked, stand on the extraordinary proposition
that the .Lecomptou Constitution was fraudu-
len. simply because frauds occurred as the elec-
ton which had no reference TO the convention
which framed it. Referring % Messra Walker
and Stanton's statements that the constitution
was not the will Of the people, be said be knew
nothing or the character OF these men shas sle.
vated them beyond the credibilisy Of Ordinary
Witnesses, and thought then. indebted TO hie
country in not going fu-ther. He then alluded
TO Nr. .Crittenden's expression Of regret at the
reperl OF the Missouri Compromise, saving thas
he on the contrary reioiced thas il was torn
from the statute books. He had weighed the
value OF the Union, and sometimes thought the
south loved il not wisely but TOO WELL Then
turning 10 Mr. Crittenden's 3 re marks in reference
to Mr.. Clay and the Missouri Compromise, hs
reminded that Senator that but seven years ago
the great Kentuckian stood il this chamber
disciaiming the authorship Of that measure.
Mr.. Toomhs concluded with an eloquent pas-
sage in defence Of the Democratic phrty and
against the fanaticism Of the North.
Mr.. Crittenden explained his allusion to ".
CLAY, and briefly refused 10 some minor points,
touching the legality Of the Lecompton Consti-
tuition. He wished, be said. 10 see The South
always right, and would have been grati6ed
could she see the question as he saw Il. The
question Of slavery, be repeated, was not the
rea! issue. Il was thrown in to exasperate the
Constitution. No one believes that Kansas can
be slave State. The question has been de-
tsrmined partly BY her climate, but mainly BY
the will OF the people. Why should the South
be in haste to admit her. which, whenever The
Constitution il imposed upon her would soon
be changeds Why does the South want two
more Senators, such 'as Kansas would imme-
diateiy send here? Az for himself be had
done his duty. He thought be was old enough
not to take the part Of : sectionalist, but Of .
