Mr.. STUART remarked that having been always OPP

Mr. SEWARD surprised to hear this remark Of the
| senator from Michigan. Congress hal decided that II
Kansas would not come into the Union under the Le
compton constitution e must remain outside the Union
until she had population of 93,4 ,420 He thought all
who opposed to that restiicton would be willing
embrace the earliest proper opportunity to relieve her
from it. aeh ~ i M $50 il sstt "a q Ffgf ts'ii is
T. Mr.. BROWN believed that State coming Into this
Union ought to have the reqsisic population ente
10 representative according the then existing ratio
Now, Kansas ought 10 have population OF 93 400 to
entiile her to come In but. he had sa!d when this
question was up before he should be- willing to admit
Kansas Oregon any other free slave State upon
that fraction which entities South Carolina to represent
atvei but that she has that fraction must nic
and in order to do that Of the people must be
taken This question was to have very important bear
Ing upon the next presidential contest in reference
the manner in which to dispose of tho Territory
Of Kansas. The senator from Michigan hIr CnAxplERl
had very confidently prictcd the Of his purity in
the next presidential clection but Mr. B hoped II they
did succeed 1T would be the yindicatou Of principle
He was equally confident that his party would be tri
umphant 10 that ection but ne wanted 1t to be ti
nmph Of principles and not Of men, The spciIs Of Office
to the people he represented we're bat as sounding
brass and tinkling cymbaI They want the ,ind-
cation of sound national prneiplos ur that Is ncccs
sary to their enjoyment OF their rights and their
safety in the Union In this matter he neither wanted
10 cheat or be cheated The Supreme Court decided iii
the celebrated Dred Scott case that slaves property
and the Shareholder had the right to carry his
property including slaves into Territory, that any
other citizen of any other State had 10 carry any other
kind The venerable Chief Justice Declared further that
the whole duty OF this government towards slave prop
cty to protect It, That IL the exposition OF the con-
stitution under which We live Sayt are their
mastes have right 10 take them into Tcrrory and to
have them protected after they get there II this Drcd
Scott decision any Thing at all II means that BY
protection, II the word be not cheat and desion he
understood adequate and efficient protection. Now, the
constitution does not aTd that adequate protection to
slave property which c nature the property requires
H. Tho constitution can no Of itself, unaided by
lcgislaton protect slave property than 1t protect
any other species OF property. Ships on tho high
entitled to protection under the constitution
but aid the consiituton by statutory enactents and
without that aid The protection would not bc eicieut
What he clmed and what the southern States claimed,
he would state In all rankness From the nature Of the
slaves being animate and rcasoupg beings required
different protection BY legal enac.nct from what nani-
mate property did. The law must be adapted to the
tarc Of the thing. The consultation gave rights
and dencd the Of protecting and defending those
rights The Snpremc Court having decided the right
to hold slave property In The Territories has virtually
body for protection which should be adequate On whom
