w hether legislative, judicial or executive—mtrot
be tfilent.'’ . T ,
Such was the coma i.tiou ot Lecornptoii; and
the cmieliftitio I it presents vwts established under
law- federal aul territorial, which every me i
in Kan os (except rebels) has given hts con ,e.u.
These laws direct the election, prescribe the or er
of it, the q&alii.c..tion of voters, and tire times of
the me Png, and the duties and qualifica
tions of the ore .ding officer. In this way the del
elates vv, eeh e eu. Tt ev met, and up >n mature
deliberate „ flamed a constitution —a constitution
republican in .orm,.and secured to the people of
Kansas all those great institutions of freedom
which have ever been regarded as the only anil
surest bulwa., -of civil liberty. Violating no law,
inconsistent with no principle of the federal consti
tution, i. preserves and gu tmitees to the people
of Kansas all the great agencies of freedom, the
tight of habeas corpus, trial by jury, freedom ot the
press and speech, and liberty of conscience, as in
violate and pure as vvhe.i they were fi'st given to
us, baptised in the blood ot our revolution ry lath
ers. Now sir, can a greater insult be offered to the
understanding ot the Auae'icau people than to say
that a constitution tnus established would gain
anything of creditor sanctity by a ratification tike
that contended for? 1 grant that die peepie,
through the Legislature, may reserve to themseives
the right of ratification, ‘or the delegates may
rtCOgtnZ’ it in the constitution it.-ed; and in eith
er case a ratification would become necessary to
the validity ot the instrument; but without those
terms it would become absoiuteas oon as sanc
tioned by the delegates.
Igo further. I bo'dly maintain that wisdom,
prudence, and policy demand that the delegates
should be entirely untrainmeled in framing the
fundamental law. The people in mass cannot de
liberate upon a constitution, adopt what is good,
and amend what is faulty in it. They must adopt
or reject it in the entire; and thus, on account of
objections t> a single clause, ihey might reject the
most admirab e constitution ever devised by the
wisdom of man. The radical error which under
lies the whole argument of these gentlemen is this:
they assume that tbete is a general agreement of
opinion, a collective sentiment ot the people, as a
unit, as to what shall be the principles and provis
ions of their fundamental law, and that this com
mon sentiment is to be ascertained only by a direct
vote of the people. And ye , sir, such a course ,
might result in a grave and capital delusion. It a
method could be devised for collecting the opinion j
of each citizen upon each clause ot a Constitution,
the diversities of sent ment would be equal to the .
number of voters, and perhaps greater. I lie the- j
ory of ratification, however, does not allow to the
people the right of framing a constitution, or even j
offering amendment and modifications. They can
only, like a witness on cross-examination, answer
“yea 5 ’ or “nay*” And I repeat, a constitution which ■
might stand an imperishable monument ot human t
wisdom could be voted down by an immense ma
jority, of which each individual member might be |
in an actual minority on the particular subject j
matter of his dissent. Such a process, so far liorri
evoking the general pervading sentiment ot a peo
ple as to w hat shall be their fundamental law, may
signally lad in eliciting the true yew ot a single j
individual.
Sir, I admit that a direci vote ot the people is a
fair test of their will, when you submit to them a
single isolated proposition, such as the question ot
excluding slavery submitted by the Kansas eonven
vention. But whether it is the best n ode or not
depends upon circumstances. It depends, for in
stance, upon ihe number voting on the question
of ratification as compared with the number who
vote tor delegates Now. so tar as 1 have observed,
the election’ in which the people roan best the
least interest are tiiose in width they are called up
on to puss upon constitutions ami constitutional
questions. It is not the way the peopfe ehnofie to
exercise their right of self government. In the
ancient city of Athens, when) democratic absolu
tism existed in ils purest form, the no nber of citi
zens entitled to vote amounted to about twenty
five thousand persons ; and yet not more than five
thousand were generally given on the most inter
esting questions. Aud on questions ot ostracism
six thousand votes were sufficient. It you will
consult tiie poll-books of the different States ol this
Union, whore men and propositions claim the suf
frages of the people at tile same time, you will gen
erally find that the men get three votes where the
proposition gets one. I could call attention to nu
merous instances of this kind which have fallen
within my own observation.
We accordingly film that nearly all writers on
governmental and social science, representing ev
ery class of opinion, (except a few run-mad red
republieane of Germany amt France,) unite in con-’
demning this theory of direct appeal to the people.
Montesquieu, in his “Spirit of Laws,” speaking of
democracy, says:
“Tire neuple, in whom resides the supreme pow
er, ought to do of themselves whatever convenient
ly they can; and what they themseives cannot
rightfully perform, they must do by their minis
ters.
“The people are extremely well qualified for
choosing those whom they are to intrust with a
part of their authority.
Should we doubt of the people’s natural ability,
in respecltothe discernment of merit, we need only
cast an eye on tiie continual series of surprising
elections made by the Athenians and Romans,
which no one surely will attribute to hazard. But
are they able to manage an intricate affair; to find
out ami make a proper use of places, occasions,
moments ? No ; as most citizens have a capacity
of choosing, though they are not sufficiently quali
fied to be chosen, so the people though capable of
calling others loan account for their administration,
are incapable of tiie administration themselves.”
A distinguished senator has laid down the prop
osition that, under the power to admit new States,
Congress is forced by a paramount duty to see that
tiie constitution of a State asking admission into
the Union imbodies the will of the majority of the
people. Sir, 1 hold that a constitution presented
by the regular and legally-constituted authority is
conclusive upon Congress as the will of the people.
We will not allow any such issue to be pre.-ented.
We assert the right of the people to form their
government; but we hold, and 1 think I have al
ready shown, that the highest and purest exhibition
of their sovereign will is a people acting by their
own chosen delegates in convention assembled.—
The federal government, and half of the States of
the Union, were formed in this way, and Ihey need
no improvement from the constitutional tinkering
of this day.
To object that the convention may have abused
its powers, and that the constitution should be
submitted to a direct popular vote, in order that it
may be ascertained whether it accords with the
will id the people, is to beg the question, and to strike
at the very root of all constitutional and legal au
thority. It is an objection not to the constitution of
Kansas alone, but to the very genius and frame
work of all representative government. Upon the
same ground that a constitution framed by delegates
should be submitted to the people, it may also be
demonstrated that every law enacted by Congress,
or by a legislature, and that every verdict by a jury
or decision ot a court, should likewise I e submitted
for the approval of the people. Sir, a delegate
may misrepresent the people, or a senator his
constituents, jbut the remedy does not lie here
in this central power of the republic, (more li
able to abuse than any other,) it lies in the hands
of the local constituency, to whom the representa
tives are immediately responsible. And here lies
the efficacy and power of our form of government.
The direct responsibility ofour rulers to their con
stituents, the right of suffrage among the people,
aided by that great moral engine of freedom, the
liberty of die press, are the vis medicatrix natures
of our political system, sufficient to remedy every
disorder and throw off every impurity, without re
sorting to violent irregulariiy and revolutionary ac
tion.
When a State applies for admission, Congress
is bound to subject her to no restrictions except
such as Congress may constitutionally impose upon
the States already composing the Union. There is
but one (imitation which you are bound to impose,
and that is, that her form of government should be
republican. But, under tiie power to guarantee a
republican form cf government, you have not the
right to range with unlimited discretion through
every provision of her constitution, interfere with
her internal and local distribution of political pow
er, adjust questions of majority and minority, lay
down arbitrary rules of your own as to whai, con
stitutes republican government, and by compelling
he-to conform to them, to substitute the will of
Congress tor hers as to what shall be uer funda
mental law. Are not the constitutions of the orig
inal thirteen States pretty tiiir tests as to what con
stitutes republican government ? Can any one say
that tiie Kansas constitution, tried by this test, the
only oue which you can rightfully app'y, is not a
republican form of government? Where is the
feature in it contrary to our republican institutions,
or repugnant to the paramount constitution of the
Union ?
We are told by a distinguished gentleman that
be would “pass over forms, ceremonies, and or-
| gantzations, to get down deep to the will of the
people.” Sir, tile will of the people can only be
’ obtained through these form*,’ ceremonies, and or
ganizations, to get down deep to the will of tiie
people.” Sir, the w.ll of the people can only be
i obtained through these forms, ceremonies, and < r
-1 gan.zations ; and tiie structure- of our government
| is intended to provide these forms aud organiza
tions, through which tiie people can-speak au’hen
tically and authoritateiy. What can he mean by
pass ng over and disregarding these forms? -The
1 constitution of the United States is a form. Times,
places, and manner ol holding elections, and qual
ifi’ ati ns ot franchise, are but forms, through which
tin- people exercise their power. This matchless
government, springing from the-cortstitunou and
the division ot power between the federal and State
government, is but an organization. Would he
pass over all these to get down to what he sees
proper to consider the will of the people? The
doctrine is monstrous, dangerous, and disorganiz
ing. It gives to the action of regular government
i no more authority than belongs to an ordinary,
I voluntary assemblage of citizens, outside of the
constitution and law. If these views be correct,
! we bad better at once tear down this splendid fab
ric of American architecture, and discard conven
: lions, legislatures, and Congress, as inconvenient,
! cumbrous superfluities, and resort at once to the
democratic absolutism of Athens. The doctrine
| lias be ii in Europe omnipotent for pulling down
forms, ceremonies, and organizations, hut powerless
tor reconstruction ; like those serpents in the East,
j which, while they inflict a death-blow, breathe out
their own life in the wound of their dying victim.
We were told by the gentleman from Ohio [Mr.
Cox] that the constitution is not republican in torm
because it prohibits amendment, alteration or change
until after 1864, and then hampers the perfectly
free action ol the people by requiring a majority
i of two-thirds of the legislature to concur before
| they will allow the majority to call for amendment.
But the climax of anti-republicanism is the pro
visions that “no alteration shall be made to affect
the rights of property in tiie ownership ofslaves;”
a doctrine that would tumble into irretrievable ruin
the federal constitution and the constitution of half
the States in the Union, including that of the gen
tleman’s own Slate; for there is not one of these
which does not contain as stringent and dilatory
limitations as ar< found in this Kansas constitution
| Tito argument by which he supports this view is,
I that Hip “democracy, as taught in Otiio, believes in
j the repealabtliy ot everything by the popular mice.”
; Do the oemocracy of Ohio consider the clauses of
■ the constitution securing all those great rights—
such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press,
liberty of conscience, n viola Lility of property —re-
peaLhle by the popular will ? Do tiie democracy
ol Ohio believe in the repeatability of that clause
guarantying tiie right of a State to equality of rep
resentation in the Senate of the United States?
This may be democracy in Ohio , but I hope it i?
a democracy confined to Ohio alone. It may bs
repulicanism, but is not the constitutional republic
canism of America ; it is the red republicanism of
France. The very tenure by which the gentleman
exercises thp privilege of uttering these objections
against the Kansas constitution is an oath to sup
port a constitution liable to them all ; a conslitu
tion imposing the heaviest restrictions ori the pow
er of amendment; a constitution whose framers
intended it, not as an instrument of p otection
against power.
It would be well for these gentlemen to consid
er when and by whom this particular mode of
ad pting a constitution, which they insist is the
only true mode, was first established. It was not
by the fathers of This republic—tiie men of 1776.
The federal constitution was no* submitted for
adoption to a direct vote of the people, not were
the constitutions of tiie oid thirteen. The first
instance in modern times, so for as toy researches
go, was the constitution of 1799. which was sub
mitted to the people ol France, and accepted by a
vote of three million to fifteen hundred. This
wins in accordance with the teachings oi Rous
seau—the doctrine of unlimited, indivisible, undele
gated power of the people—a doctrine almost iden
tical in terms to that upon which the opposition to
the admission of Kansas rests. What was the re
sult ? The sovereignty of the people was establish
ed and recognized, the King was beheaded, the no
bility were banished, the religion abolished, proper
ty confiscated, and France converted into one mor
al and political volcano, from the conflict of whose
discordant elements arose the demon of centraliza
tion and military despotism, the rod whose power
smote down all the valuable rights of the people,
and the cheerished interests of humanity. It was
during the progress of this fanatical and bloody
drama that one of its most conspicuous and sangui
nary actors, appalled by the magnitude of the power
which he had invoked, exclaimed, “Do you not
see the project of app ..I to the people tends but
to destroy the represc itative body ? It. is sport
ing will) the sovereign majesty of the people to
return to it a work which it charges you to termi
nate promptly.”
The next constitution submitted to the people
was the consular constitution of 1802—only three
years later—making Napoleon Bonaparte consul
for life, and confering on him the power of naming
iris successor and the Senate ; in other words, a
despotism. It was submitted to the vote of the
people ot France, and accepted hv 3,568,885, against
8,374. And from that time the unlimited sover
eignty of the people has been the potent instrument
by which the Nepoleons have fastened upon France
a despotism more grinding and debasing than that
of the Autocrat of Russia. The lathers ofour re
public proceeded on principles totally opposite,—
Adopting as a fundamental dogma that all politi- 1
cal power springs from tiie people, ihey insisted, 1
and incorporated it into their organic law, that this |
power should not he unlimited and absolute.— ‘
They accordingly established our grand system of j
representative government, with its checks, balan
ces, guarantees, and organic laws—the noblest j
political institution that adorns tile pages of the his- j
tory of civilization, and which experience has j
shown to be the only means of securing and diffus- ‘
ing among the people tint broad, civil liberty which j
constitutes the distinguished features of the Ameri
can and Brilisli governments. I say British gov
ernment, for the statesmen of 1776 founded our
institutions not upon Utopian theories, but upon
those great fundamental principles of the common
law inherited from our Saxon ancestors, which
guarantied to English ft semen the right of person
al security, personal liberty, and private property,
with their judicial safeguards and protecting forms,
as inviolable and irrepealable by any power on
earth.
The convention in Kansas, having declared in
their fundamental law that the right of property in |
slaves, already existing, shall not be interfered j
with, has only given a constitutional sanction to |
a principle as old as the foundation of free gov- !
ernment. And, sir, Congress is bound, by the mos I
solemn obligation that honor can impose, to admit ‘
her with this very clause in her constitution. Sir, ,
we of the South demand the redemption of your
pledge. The issue is boldly tendered, and we are !
ready to go before the great Areopagus of the j
American people upon it. And when the enemies
of Kansas shall attempt to justify their opposition
to her by invoking a principle which has deluged
Europe in blood, only to sink her into more degra
ded despotism, we will justify her admission upon
tire principles width lie at the foundation of our
republic. We will call upon the people to stand j
true to the traditions ot our ancestors and the prac
tice of the government when Washington was
President and the men of the revolution ministered
at tiie aitars of liberty.
One word on the bill introduced into this House
by a member from Massachusetts, (Mr. Banks,)
calling another convention in Kansas, for rhe pur
pose of framing a second constitution, to be sub
mitted to the people for accepts ice or rejection.—
Mr. Cnairman, Congress has no more right to call
a convention of the people of Kansas than it lias
.he right to call such a convention in New York.
By the act of Congress, and the action of her peo
ple, the entire of Kansas to this govern
ment has been changed. It is no longer a Terri
tory of these United States. She has, by your own
authority and permission, thrown off the habiliments
of territorial dependence, and stands now a State,
clothed with all the attributes and powers of a Stale
and asks admission as an equal in this noble con
federation of sovereignties. You tray reject her ap
plication, if you will; but i. will be at your own
peril. To remand her to her territorial condition
you cannot, any more than you can roll back to
their hidden sources the waters of the Missippi.—
Kansas is a seperate, organized, living State, with
all the nerves aud arteries of life in full develop
ment and vigorous activity. Between your laws
and her people she can interpme the bread and
radiant shield of State sovereignty, and may langli
to scorn your enabling acts.

NO FAMILY
Can afford to be without Mustang Liniment in their
house. The many accidents we are liable to, may render
it necessary any moment, and nothing is capable of per
forming such a certain cure. ( Extract ) “In tilling the
kettle Irom the fire it caught and scalded my hands and
person very severely—one hand almost to a crisp. The
torture was unbearable. It was an awful sight. * * *
The Mustang Liniment appeared lo extract the pain
immediately. It healed rapidly and led no scar -of ac
count. Charles Foster, 42U Bioad Street, Pitilad Iphia.”
It is truly a wonderful article. It will cure any case of
Swelling, Burns, Stiff Joints, Eruptions and Rheuma
tism. For horses, it should never be dispensed with. One
Dollar’s worth of Mustang hits frequently saved a valua
bie horse. It cures Galds, Sprains, Ringbone, Spavin
and Founders. Beware of imitations. Sold in all parts
of the habitable Globe.

SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS,,
A Medicinal Diet Drink, o! eminently salutary qualities,
manufactured by hi nself exclusively, at his factory at
Schiedam in Holland.
It is made roin the best barley, that can be selected in Eu
rope, with the essence of an aromatic Italian berry of ac
kno*lodged and extraordinary medicinal properties, it has
longsince acquired a higi er reputation,both iu Europe and
America, than in o ther dte'etic eve rage.
In Gravel, G *-ut and Rheumatism, in oirtructions of the

prompt, and invariably reliable. And ills notoniyareme
dy orthese maladies,but in all cases in which tiny are pro
duced by drinking h: i wa l ;r. which is almost universally
the cause of them, it opt rales as a sure levenlive.
The distressing effect upon the stomach, bowels and blad
der, of travelers, or new tesidouts and all persons unaccus
tomed to them, produced by the waters o e nearly all our great
inland rivers, like the Ohio, Mississippi, aud Alabama, Iron;
the quantity of decayed vegetable matter contained in
them, in a state of solution, is well known, as also that of the
waters of limestone regions, in producing Gravel, Calculi, and
Stone in the bladder The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps Is
an absolutecnrective of these iniurious properties of bad
water, end consequently prevents th*’ diseases which they oc
casion. It is also found to be a cure and preventive of Fe
fver and a complaint caused by the conjoint effect ot
vegetable malaria in the atmosphere, si and vegetable prutes
ences in the waters of those districts in which it princi
pally prevuils. The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps is conse
quently iu great demand by persons traveling, or about to
ettle in those parts of the count.- , especially, as well as by
many L: every community where it has become known on
accountof its various >lher re nedial properties.
Iu all cases of Dropsical tendency, it is generally the only
remedy required, when adopted in the early stages of th -
disease. In Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper qu m
tities, as a diet drink,and especially atoinnerrit is found by
uniform experience, to be ctnine Hly • tacious in the most
obstinate cases, when even, the'best offthe usual remedies
have failed to afford more than temporerv relief. In cases o
Flatulency, It. Is an immediate and in afuaMe specific; end it
may be administered in diluted and proportionate quantities
even to young infanta, in ali those paroxysms of griping pain
in the stomach and bowels to which they are especially sub

its judicious adoption in connection with the priucipal
meals, or when a suns of exhaustion dictates its use, never
falls to ’•elieve the debility attendant upon protracted chronic
maladies, low temperament, anti exhausted vital energy, by
whatever cause induced. These a e facts to which many ot
the raosFeminent medical men both in Europe and the Uni

by their highest written authorities.
