Some interesting extracts from the
records of the past are now beng pub
lished in the Press and Dakotaian, all
CLEANED from official sources and 0
literally correct transcription. They
are given IN support of the proposition
that the people of territory possess
the right to organize state govern
ment and that the congress of the
United States does not possess the
right to refuse auch privilege, When
this position is fully en-.
dorsed by such eminent
statesmen of the past as Stephen A.
Douglas, William H. Seward, Charles
Sumner, Thomas Benton, James
Buchanan and Joshua r. Giddings,
what becomes of the adverse arguments
OF puny political adventurers who array
themselves in opposition to the declara.
tion that all government and all liberty
| Ia inherent in the people? The
right OF the people to con-
vene and enact in their own behalf is
the foundation stone of our government.
Take it away and government totters
and falls and chaos comes.
Read the citation OF Stephen A.,
Douglas in the Kansas case, vino held
before congress and the nation the pre-
cedepts of Arkansas, Michigan,
Tennessee, Florida and Cali-
fornia, and by his eloquence
added the precedent of Kansas, in be-
half OF the unquestioned right OF terri
tory to become state without the con-
sent OF congress.
Go over the logic of William II. Sew
ard in which he based his advocacy of
the right of Kansas to statehood upon
the provisions of the Louisiana treaty,
provisions which apply to the domain
now known under the name of Dakota.
Fix in your minds the words of Joshua
r. Giddlngs in which he character
lied the statehood efforts of Kansas
as contest between oppression and
liberty, between executive power and
popular righte, between usurpation and
the right of resistance.
Remember that Charles Sumner open
ly asserted that in the creation of a state
the provisions of an enabling act were not
essential and that he cited the cases of
tho states of Kentucky, Tennessee
Maine, Arkansas, and Michigan, in sup
port of his assertion.
Do not forget the declaration of
Thomas Benton that Conventions are
the original acts OF the people," That
they are based upon inherent and lnalien.
able rights.
Bear in mind that James Buchanan
announced that the precedent IN the
case of Tennessee completely silenced
all arguments in regard to the necessity
OF u previous enabling act from congress
to confer authority upon the people of q
territory to form state constitution.
These addresses were all made at the
time when Kansas was before congress
demanding the right to statehood under
a constitution formed, adopted and rati-
fed by its people. This IS precisely the
attitude of south Dakota to-day and
the same arguments, the same logic
and the same precedents apply in her
case

He was told that in all there eyjs,sd
