Speech ol President Buchanan.
The Force of Beaton and Common Sente
The Hittory and Value of the Twothirdt
Rule—The Squatter Sovereignty Hereby.
Tiie Breckinridge and Lane meetiog at
."Washington city last Monday evening was
, a amended affair. TLe Washington Contti
tution say* it was “by far the largest, most
lions, embodying the principles of the* Na
tional Democratic platform, and cordially
endorsing the nomination of Breckinridge
and Lane, were adopted. The immense
throng formed in procession aud proceeded
to the White House, where, in response to
a serenade, ihe President made the follow
ing noble, patriotic aud statesman like
speech :
Friknds and Fellow-citizens : I thank
Jou from my heart for the honor of this
visit, i cordially congratulate you on the
preference which you have expressed for
Major Breckinridge and Gen. Lane as can
didates for the Presidency and Vice-Presi
deucy of the United States over all compe
titors. [Applause.| They are men whose
names are known to the country ; they need
no eulogy from me. They have served their
country in pence and in war. They are
statesmen as well as soldiers, and in the
day and hour of danger they will ever be at
their post. They are conservative men;
and in the course of their administration
they will be equally just to the North and
to the South, to the East and to the West.
[Applause.] Above all, and first of all, they
are friends of the Constitution and of the
Union, [cheers,] and they will stand by
them to the death. [Renewed cheers.] —
But we ought not to forget that they ale
also friends to the equality of the sovereign
Stales of tins Union in the common territo
ries of the country. [Cries of “ Good !"]
They will maintain that principle, which
•hould receive the cordial approbation of us
alb Equality is equity. Every citizen GT
the United State* is equal before the Con
slitution and the laws; and why should not
the equality of tho sovereign States com
posing this Union he held in like reverence?
This is good democratic doctrine. Liberty
and equality are the birthright of every
American citizen ; and just as certainly as
the day succeeds the night, so certain will
tlrs principle of Democratic justice eventu
ally prevail over opposition. [Cheers] —
But, before I speak further upon this sub
ject —nad I shall not detain you verv long
—! wish to remove one stumbling block out
of the way.
I have ever been the friend of regular
nominations. 1 have never struck apoliti
cal licket in my life. Now, was there any
thing done at Baltimore to hind the politi
cal conscience of any sound Democrat, or
to prevent him from supporting Breckin
ridge and Lane. [“No! no!”] I was co
temporary with Hie abandonment of the
old Congressional convention or caucus.—
Tins occurred a long time ago : verv few,
if any of you remember it. Under the old
Congressional convention system, no person
•-.'•-is admitted to a sent except the Demo
cratic members of the Senate and House of
Representatives. This rule rendered it ab
solutely certain that, tho nominee, whoever
lie might be, would be sustained at the
election by the Democratic States of the
Union. By this means it was rendered im
posiblo that those States which could not
give an electoral vote for the candidate
when nominated should control the nomina
tion and dictate to the Democratic States
who should he their nominee.
‘This system was abandoned—whether
wisely or not I shall express no opinion.—
The National convention was substituted in
it* stead. All the Stale* Demo
cratic or not, were equally to send delegates
to this convention according to the number
of their Senators and Representatives in
Congress.
A difficulty at once arose which never
could have arisen under the Congressional
convention system. If a hare majority of
the National Convention thus composed
could nominate a candidate, he might be
nominated mainly by the Anti Democratic
States against the will of a large majority of
the Democratic Slates. Thus the nomina
ting power would be separated from the
electing power, which could not fail to be
destructive to the strength and harmony of
the Democratic party.
To obviate this serious difficulty in the
organization of a National Convention, and
at the same time to leave all the States their
full vote, the two-thirds rule was adopted.
It was believed that under this rule no can
didate could ever be nominated without
embracing within two thirds the votes of a
decided majority of the democratic States.
This was the substitute adopted to retain, at
least in a great degree, the power to the
Democratic Stales which they would have
lost by abandoning the Congressional con
vention system. This rule was a main pil
lar in the edifice of National conventions.—
Remove it and the whole must become a
ruin. This sustaining pillar was broken to
pieces at Baltimore by the convention
which nominated Mr. Douglas. After this
the body was no longer a National conven
tion ; aud no Democrat, however dovoted
to-regular nominations, was bound to give
the nominee bis support; he was left free
to act according to the dictates of hi* own
judgement and conscience. And. here, in
passing,'!
die two-third* rule is justified By the events
passing: around urn Had'it been faithfully
observed no candidate could have been
nominated against the will and wishes of
almost every certain Democratic State in
the Union, against nearly all the Democrat
ic Senators and more than three-fourths of
tho Democratic Representatives in Congress.
[Cheers]
I purposely avoid entering upon any dis
cussion respecting the exclusion from the
convention of regularly elected delegates
frem different Democratic States. If the
Convention which nominated Mr. Douglas
wa* uot a regular Democratic Convention,
it must be confessed that Breckinridge is in
the same ccndition in that respect. The Con
vention that nominated him, although it
| was composed of nearly all the certain De
mocratic States, did ti"t ."iit.iin the lw>
asid therefore every Democrat is a<
nflS’WtT'fiberty to vote as he thinks proper,
] without running counter to any regular
(nomination of the party. [Applause and
cries of “ three cheer* for Breckinridge and
Lane.”] Holding this position, . ! shall
present some of the reasons why I prefer
Mr. Breckinridge to Mr. Dongles. This I
shall do without attempting to interfere
with any individual Democrat or sny Slate
Democratic organization holding different
opinions from myself. The main object of
all good Democrats, whether belonging to
the one or the other wing of our unfortu
nate division, is to defeat the election of the
republican candidates; and I shall never
oppose any honest and honorable course
calculated to accomplish this object. ■
To return to the point from which Thave
digressed. lam in favor of Mr, .Breckin
ridge, because he sanctions and sodiatns the
perfect equality of all the States within their
common territories, ana (lie opinion of the
Supreme Court of the United States estab
lishing this equality. The sovereign States
of this Union are one vast partnership.—
The Territories were acquired by the com
mon blood and common treasure of them
all. Each State, and each citizen of each
State, alts the same right in the Territories
as any other State and the citizens of any
other State possess. Now what is sought
for at present is, that a portion of these
States should turn round to their sister
States and say, “ We are holier than you
are, and while we will take our property to
the Territories and have jt protected there,
you shall not place your property in the
same position.” That is precisely what is
contended for. What the democratic party
maintain, and what the true principle of de
mocracy is, that all shafl enjoy the same
.lights, aud that all shall he subject to the
same duties. Property—this Government
was framed for theprotcetion of life, liberty
and property. They are the objects for the
protection of which all enlightened govern
ments were established. But it is sought
now to place the property of the citizen,
under what is called the principle of squatter
sovereignty, in the power of the territorial
legislature to confiscate it at their will and
pleasure. That is tho principle sought to
bo establislysl at present; and there seems
to he an entire mistake and misunderstand
ing among a portion of the public upon this
subject. When was property ever submit
ted to the will of the majority ? [“Never.”]
If you hold property as an individual you
hold it independent of Congress or of the
State legislature, or of the territorial legis
lature — it is yours; and your Constitution
was made to protect your private properly
against the assaults of legislative power. —
[Olivers.] Writ n6*r;4Hfy Bbt “of principles
which will deprive you of your property is
sgaiust the very essence of republican
government, and to that extent makes you
a slave ; for the man who has power over
your property to confiscate it has power
over your means of subsistence ; and yet it
is contended that although the Constitution
of the United States couieis no such power
—although no State legislature has any
such power, yet a territorial legislature, in
the remote extremities of the cotrntry, can
confiscate your property ?
[A Voice.—“ They can’t do it; they ain’t
going to do it.”]
There is but one mode, and one alone, to
abolish slavery in the Territories. That
mode is pointed out in the Cincinnati plat
form, which has been as muah misrepresent
ed, as anything I have ever known. The
platform declares that a majority o! the ac
tual residents in n Territory, whenever their
number is sufficient to entitle them to ad
mission as a Slate, possess the power “to
form a constitution with or without domes
tic slavery, to be admitted into the Union
upon terms of perfect equality with the
other States.” If there be squatter sover
eignty in this resolution I have never been
able to perceive it. If there be any refer
ence in it to a territorial legislature it has
entirely escaped my notice. It presents the
clear principle that at the time the people
form their constitution, they shall then de
cide whether they will have slavery or not.
And yet it has been stated over and over
again that, in accepting the nomination un
der that platform, I endorsed the doctrine
of squatter sovereignty. I suppose you
have all heard this repeated a thousand
times.
[A Voice.—“ We all know it was a lie ?”]
Well, I’m glad you did. -yyyww.—
How beautifully this plain principle of
constitutional law corresponds with the best
interests of the people? Under it, emi
grants from the North and the South, from
the East and the West, proceed to the Ter
ritories. They carry with them that prop
erty which they suppose will best promote
material interests; they live together in
peace and harmony. The question of slave
ry will become a foregone conclusion before
they have inhabitants enough to enter the
Union as a State. There will then he no
“ bleeding Kansas ” in the Territories ; they
will all live together in peace and harmony,
promoting the prosperity of the Territory
and their own prosperity, untjl the times
shall arrive when it becomes necessary to
frame a constitution. Triei! the whole ques
tion will be decided to the general satisfao
ilfts Rill, Jipyii the opposite principle,
whßt will younnif in the Territories?—
Why, there will he stiife, and contention all
the time. One territorial legislature mav ‘
establish slavery and another territorial ,
legislature may abolish it, and so the strug- j
gle will be continued throughout the terri
torial existence. The people, instead of,
devoting their energies and industry to
promote their own prosperity, will l>e iu a i
stale of constant sti ife and turmoil,n
we have witnessed in Kansas. Therefore
there is no possible principle that can be so
injurious to the best interests of a Territory
ns what has been called squatter sovereign
ty.
Now let me place the subject before you
in another point of view. The people of the
Southern States can never abandon this
great principle of State cqnslity in the Un
ion without self-degradation. [“ NwirfNt’] j
Never without an acknowledgement “fliat
they are inferior in this respect to their
sister States. “Whilst it is vital to them to
preserve their equality, the Northern States
surrender nothing by admitting this prin
ciple. In doing this they only yield obedi
ence to.the Constitution of their country, as
expounded by the Supreme Court of the
United States. “ While lor the North it is
comparatively a mere abstraction, with the
South it is a question of co-equal Sovereign
ty in the Union.
If the decrees of the high tribunal estab
lished by the Constitution for the very pur
pose are to he set at naught aud disregard
ed, it will tend to render all property of eve-
I *-y description insecure. What, then, have
‘■ the North to do ? Merely to say that, as
(good citizens, they will yield obedience to
{the decision of the Supreme Court, and ad-
I Tnit the right of a Southern man to take his
property into the Territories, and hold it
there just as a Northern man may do; anifit
is to me the most extraordinary thing in the
world that this country should now be dis
tracted and divided because certain persons
at the North will not agree that their breth
ren at the South shall have the aame:jrightß
in the territories which they enjoy. “ What
should I as a Pennsylvanian sav or do, sup
posing anybody was to contend, that the
legislature of any territory could outlaw
iron and coal within the Territory ! (Laugh
ter and cheers.) The principle is precisely
the same. The Supreme Court of the United
States have decided—what was known to
us all to have Been the existing state of af
fairs for fifty years—that slaves are property.
Admit that fact, and you admit everything.
Then that property in the'territories must be
piotected precisely in the same'manner •with
any other property. If it he not so protect
ed in the Territories, the holders of it .are
degraded before the world.
We have been told that non-intervenliotv
on the part of Congress with slavery in the
Territories is the true policy. Very well.
I most cheerfully admit Congress lias no
right to pass any law to establish, impar, or
abolish slavery in the Territories. Lei this
principle of non-intervention he extended to
the territorial legislature, and let it be de
dared that they in like manner have no
power to establish, impar, or destroy slavery,
and then the controversy is in effect ended.
This all that is required at present, and I
verily believe all that will ever be required.
Hands off” by Congress and hands off by the
territorial legislature. (Lolld appßlllSe.)
With the Supreme Court of the United
States I hold that neither Congress nor the
territorial legislature has any power to es
tablish, impar, or abolish slavery in the Ter - ’
ritories. But if in the face of this positive
prohibition, the territorial legislature shuußJ
exercise the power of intervening, then thijs
would he a mere transfer of the Wilinot
Proviso and the Buffalo platform fromgH|M
gress, to he carried into executiojq-ln Be
territories to the destruction of at! property
in slaves. (Renewed applause.)
An attempt of this kind, if in ule ill Con
gress, would he resisted by able men on jbe
floor of both houses, and propably defeated.
Not so in a remote Territory. To every
new Territory there will be a rush of freo
soil< rs by the Northern States. They would
elect the first territorial legislature before
the people of the South could arrive with
their property, and this legislature would
probably settle forever the quest km of slave
ry according to their own will.
And shall we for the sake of squatter
sovereignty, which, from its nature, can only
continue during the brief period of territo
rial existence, incur the tisk of dividingkjfit,
great Democratic party of the country into I
two sectional parties, the one North and the
other South ! Shall this great party which
has governed the country in peace and war,
which lots raised it from humble beginnings
tonne of the most prosperous and powerful
nations in the world —shall this party he
broken up for such a cause ! That is the
questions. The numerous, powerfuj, pious, j
aud respectable Methodist Church lias been
thus divided. The d'vision was a severe
shock to the Union. A similar division of
the great Democratic party, should it con
tinue, would rend asunder one of the most
powerful links which hind the Union to
gether.
I entertain no such feat fill apprehensions.
The present issue “is transitory, and will
speedly pass away. In the nature of tilings
it cannot continue. There is but one possi
ble contingency which can endanger-tb-*-
Union • and against this all Democrats,
whether squatter soveriegns or popular sov
eriegns, will present a united resistance.—
Should the time ever at l ive when Northern
agitation and fanaticism should proceed so
f*r as to render the domestic firesides of the
South insecure, then, and not till then; will
the Union be in danger. A united Northern
Democracy will present a wall of fire against
such a catastrophe!
There are in our midst numerous persons
who predict the dissolution of the great de
mocratic party, and others who contend that
it'has already been dissolved.B’ilie wish is
father to the thought. It has heretofore
been in great peril ; but when divided for
the inumenl it has always closed up its ranks
ami become more powerful, even from de
feat. It will never dio whilst the Constitu
tion and the Union survive. It will lire to
protect and defend both. It has its roots Lp
the very vitals of the Constitution, andjhko
I one of the ancient cedars of Lebanon, it will
ffourish to afford shelter and protection to
that sacred instrument, and to shield it
against every storm of faction. (Renewed
applause.)
Now, friends and fellow-citizens, it is pro
bable that this is the last political speech that
PfshaTl ever make. (A voice, “ we liopenotry

Non-intervention on the subject of

nal maxim of the Democracy—non-MwflSg
volition by < ongress ami non-iuterventiou
by Tenitorial Legislatures, as is fully MRHtp
in the first resolution of the adopted Plal- :
form. In vain should we declare the former
without insisting upon the latter, because,
to permit Territorial Legislatures to prohibit
or establish slavery, or by Unfriendly legis
lation to invalidate pioperty, would he grant
ing power to the creature or agent which,
-ivis admitted, do not appertain to the prin
cipal, or the power that creates; besides
winch it would he fpsteiing an element of
agitation in the Territory that must necessa
rily extend to Congress aud tho people of
all the States.
If the Constitution establishes the tight
of every citizen to enter the common Terri
tory with whatever property he legally’ pos
sesses, it necessarily devolves on the FedefisJ
Government the duty to protect this rigid of
the citizen whenever or wherever
infringed. The Democratic party hondlrafe
meets tliis agitating question,whicli

Our Union must be preserved ! lit this
