Iosite principles They say have no rlgnts in the
Territories with our property They say Congress mad
q right to exclude 1t and that II is its duty TO do So
and thew are willing TO the Territorial Legislature
do it if Congress does not In regard TO the platform
which nominated MIR. Bell of Tennessee, aud Mr.. Ev-
eret of Massachusetts, have only to cay that certain
y it announces principles at all upon this subect
none whatever Gentlemen tell us that they advo
eating the claims Of these distinguished gentlemen upon
the principles Of the Constitution, the Union, and tue
enforcement Of the laws. presume there is scarcely
a man in this assembly, and perhaps North or
South, who will admit that he is against the Union
tee Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws
yet thew entertain the mos diverse and opposite opiu-
ions as tn TO the best mode of sustaining the Consttn
ton and the character of the laws to be enforced
Mr. Seward Mr. Burling4me, and Mr. Giddngs viii
tell vou that they are for the Union but it is tueir
,or, of Union they want. They say they are for the
Constitution so as to take away all our rights Thsy
tell on that they for the enforcement of the laws
but they are for laws which would take away our
property ICheersl. This is the way in which they
are for the Constitution and the enforcement of the
laws and they will shake hands with you, under Hea
ven afterwards for the Union. Laughter and cheers
Then this platform gentlemen, declares, practically
nothing, consequently have nothing further to say
about il. lCheers, and cries OF " Good good"
But fellow citizens, the platform have read TO You
does contain distinct enunciation OF certain princ-
4. r 3d.
PIES which touches the rights OF property ana persons
In the Territories and what regard to be the equal
rights of the States and want TO know If the peo-
pie of Kentucky, READY TO meet the Issue. Weap-
pe.l TO you not in behalf of any individual but to
sand BY our owp principles, founded an the Constu-
ton of the country. Cries Of Good, n" good.
Now, if it be true, that l am not a Disun
ionist, and if it be true that the pollti-
cal principles l advocate are not Dlsuniou
principles Int the PRINCIPLES Of the Constitution is
Il not rather hard TO establish disunionism sound
men with constitutional prtcplss. Cries OF That's
SOL That gentle men, would seem 10 exhaust the
sutiect-sound men with constitutional PRINCIPLES
which principles have announced 10 the form recog
nixed in American politics 10 be asserted by means OF
the bal otbox. Bot word another subject. IL is
said that although am not Disunionist tue Prnc-
pes ass IT are yet the object of the organization
by wbch have been nominated, which ia TO break up
this copiederacy and suppose they have sseced me
as the tool with which to execute that echeme.
GA Voiee'-A bad Instrument. Cheers
Mr. B-I have no doubt there u great many gen.
temen in the Southern States of the Union who think
that their Constitutional rights will be recog
pized A wv are perhaps per Sc dlsuuonists though
| doubt If there are fifty such in the Union. I'm
doubtedly "a number of gentlemen who were dissa Is
fed with the CcmprOm,e measures OF 1880 now prefer
for TIE Presidency, aud sust ain me on this pa'torm
and if | were dispOted to count noses, l doubt not
there are mar Y more of the character who
tain other gentlemen upon platforms not cOnsttu
tonal and desirable az nine. Cneers What Is tho
charge nearly the entire delegation OF the State
supported by the masses of the Democracy in all the
Sorthern States mac g the nomination.
Do they say the whole Of this mass were disunion-
lists ? Why gentlemen, the county is IN bad way,
if tbis he so But the charge is a reckless How
is il with the State of Kentucky which going 10 vote
in accordance with that principle Is the State Of
Kentucky q disunion Statel The delegations from
Cafc mia and Oregon were ia the Convention. They
reside housaI de Of miles away from private strtes
What have thew said that would lead any to sup
pose that bey would breaS mp the union Of the States
They are impartial srDraoTs of this dispute, aud they
tell our Northern brethren that they must do Justice
and give equality in the Union and that such prn
cires they can maintain tire Union Constitution.
That is what Oregon and California say well ss
large ninCrties from the delegations Of other States Of
the Union Senators and meu bers OF the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES. from both sec'i ns Of the Union
no have filed the highest citations 10 public corncls
but have now Withdrawn from public, all concur IN
declaring that these the principles Of the Cons.u
ton end they are not afraid to execute them Cheers
Gentlemen, the charge of dlsunion is baseless. Ad-
vantage has been taken Of the cordial loyalty of the
people of Kfntuckv and TO the surprise and light Of
the gentlemen who engaged in IT, the scheme took bet
ter than they expect. But l am satisfied that the
sober second thought Of the people will recall them to
the assertion of their incples Kentucky will
absnd principle hch she has declared 10 be the
principle of the Constitution and the Union. Loud
applause
