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 It is now nearly forty years since I first came to Washington as a member of Congress, and I wish to say this night that during that whole period .1 have received nothing jMij| kindness and attention from your fathertti and from yourselves.
