SPEECH OP
HO if ALEXANDER H, STEPHENS,
Os Georgia,
, r „! m the House of Representatives, on the 11 tk
• i/irck, 1 856, on the resolution from the Cbm-
V.tv / Election*, asking for power to send for
and papers in the Kansas election case.
Xtie gentleman on mv right to whom I have al
i, Mr. Kunkel,) said, in the course of his re
,,-ts yesterday, that we, this House, have got a
to go, and have often gone, into an inquiry
i- validity of the laws of the States in judg
-j-..»t' elections to this House. Sir, Ido not deny
.. I admit that we may pass upon and judge
the validity of any law coming before us in
..:l eases, just as any court may do, and upon
v.'itch grounds and such grounds only as courts
.. properly do. The grounds upon which this
. is sought courts will never inquire into,
.: we have no right to do it. There are some
touching legislation and the rules gov
the law-making power which must he con
'd as closed ; and when judgment is render
hem it must stand until the great day of
iadgment.
Simmons—Will the gentleman allow me to
Sttn a question ?
" \\ r s ..yhens—With pleasure.
\; r - unions —I ask whether a judgment is
f'i! any purpose whatever, until it be shows
~ -he party in whose name it is, is the true
\jr. Stephens—To ascertain the true and proper
-i v fa part of the proceedings before judgment. ,
L. of the matters to be settled by the
- : i e nt, and when once settled by judgment fin
reml- red by a court of competent jurisdiction
•:.e subject matter, it is settled forever.
..-her the party in whose favor it be rendered
true party or not, cannot he inquired into
. r-v.: -is or elsewhere. And so in this instance
- ns presented themselves as the elected repre
viv.s of the people of Kansas, in their Legis-
Tiiev presented their credentials: "the
~v.-Dor claiming the right to pass judgment ju
:Jv in their favor, certified that they were the
cr and true party. They then took tip their
rjj credentials in the usual way of Legislatures,
t 1 came to a similar judgment, as to a large ma
in both Houses. That judgment, viewed
inner wav you please, is filial on lliat question.
i> mv answer to the gentleman.
;tin* gentleman from Pennsylvania, in speak
.f liie inconsistency of Gov. Reeder’s course
•ireven he seemed ready to admit his great in
c .insistencies
Mr. Kunkel--No, sir; I said it-was not necessa
» ;u mv argument to prove that Governor Reeder
nus consistent.
(r. Stephens--And the gentleman added that
uld not speak for his consistency. Now.
.. it I was about to submit to the House is, wheth
r anybody can defend his course? I intend to
- ak of the facts as they are detailed before us in
: se reports, and as we know them to be. He
; ■) dulv appointed Governor of Kansas. He ae
-: red the trust and was in ollice, when, according
is otvu showing, the election which took place
a that Territory on the 30th of March, was held
•j pursuance of his own proclamation. Twenty
ft members of the House of Representatives, and
; -tec-n members of the Legislative Council were
r.icied. These were the numbers of which the
|i: ises were respectively composed. He assumed
t right to judge of the election returns of these
•nibers. The rules governing the elections were
v'Tibed by himself, and very rigid ones they
T:. * judges of elections were required not
■J.i v any non-resident to vote, and to take an
atb that they would not. These returns were
..mined to him, and he examined them. He
viried the returns, and gave certificates to seven
i m rubers of the House, and rejected but nine.
5* gave certificates to ten members of the Conn
ate! resected three. He ordered a new election
be held, to till the places of those vacated bv
hniself, but the two Houses, as I have slated, as
umiug the right to judge of the qualificatious of
heir own members after they met, decided in fa
ior of those who had the highest number of votes
■a the first election.
But, sir, ii was thro.* months and upwards from
tae holding of this .March election until the Legis
; ire met. He then said nothing of what we
r bear of the manner of this election. But he,
»dov.-mor, upon being notified that they were or
;«:,ized in obedience to his own call, addressed
m as the legally assembled and constituted
.-gidature of the Territory. As late as the 21st
: J uly, after the Houses had acted upon, the subject
' ''•■ contested sats in the case of th>: nine member*
icilm nrejectedbf Iml he again ad
«svd them in a message, anil in it he says
: riling of an invasion. He says nothing of suh
gation—nothing of “martial music” asd “artil
-•v"—nothing of “border ruffianism''— nothing
" act ■ i.i in the cases of Contest- referred to. Rut
addressed them then as the legally constituted
-’mature of the Territory. If, therefore. Gov.
• ier had the right to judge of the election re
as he claimed, was not his acguiesence in the j
-nos tap Houses on matters pertaining to
srurbanization an affirmance ou his part of their
■ M’l.e*t in those cases? And at his instance
t-i i '.vt- now go behind, not only the judgment of
lluasvs of the Legislature on these questions,
i.i> affirmance of that judgment by au official
rtof Governor Reeder himself?
! dr, 1 wish to nottce some other matters
r. cave dropped in this debate. Another gentle-
Ein from Pennsylvania, on nty right, [Mr. Catnp
-i. gave as a reason why this investigation
■»id be gone into—why we should set aside
c r Reeder’s own judgment is this case—
*! he was a gentleman of high character—a
Eaof worth, standing high in the estimation of
i pie of his State, ami that this investigation
'• lue him as sucli. Well, Mr. Speaker, I say
gentleman that, if what Governor Reeder
■t -ays be really true, he certainly has forfeited
-• all just claims he may have had to the
? and exalted opinions of his countrymen ; I
Handy shows himself guilty of the most :
• and gross dereliction of duty that anv
oflicer in the whole history idfthe country
- *r guilty of. The gentleman from Pennsyf
tuia must admit that if the Territory committed
■s charge was invaded by an armed force, bv 1
a the legally qualified voters of the Territory
driven from the polls in every district save
i and the polls seized by non-residents, who
violence carried the election—if that be true,
M. a (inventor Reeder now affirms to be true —
that took place which he now says did take
la.'S, and lie silently sat by and saw all, and af
■rwards recognized these invading hordes as the
July elected Legislature of the people, as he cer
tan L did, then he was guilty of a base disregard
of ins official duty, without a parallel in our his
pry, and one that no depth of infamy and degra

-lr. t amphell, of Pennsylvania—ls the gentle
mu from ( ,rgia will allow me, I desire to ask
ei, ii_jEc.se things can be substantiated, why de
'/• 'y’rayr Ileeder this investigation ? Gov
v - : KetJi-r is ready to prove that his course was
’ -iC-nr, honorable and proper. 1 ask that the
j :a,m will hear him and then decide.
• Stephens—-Governor Reeder can never show
i “ 10'"urse was proper ami becoming an offi
-1 position, if what he states he true. I

a oac ® occupied a position in this country se
cond to no one then living. For thirty-six ballots
he held the votes of this llouse, in even balance
j f ? r the Chief Magistracy of the country. He stood
| ;t K ’ uk j. c L shader with a head quite as high as

j tw ° men Twin brothers in politics, as two morn

datvn of our nations glory; hut disappointed
hope and blasted ambition, caused Aaron Burr- -
j like Lucifer—like the archangel, standing high in
Heaven, next to the Throne itself, to fall and from
his fall to rise no more. It may be so with Gov
ernor Reeder. A man he may have been of high
character, fair fame, and high ambition; hut his
ambition has overleaped itself,” and fallen on
the other side. History, I dure say, will assign
him his true position. There let him rest We
me to deal with the facts as they appear before us.
The gentleman from Ohio, [Mr. Bingham 1 the
Other day, said the legislation of the Territory of
Kansas was null and void upon its face He
wished no better evidence of the invalidity of
the laws than that which is to he found ijpon
their mspection. He read one of their acts
| wtn . ch makes it penal for any individual to steal
a slave, or to induce him to run a wav from his
master, or to harbor such slave. Sucli a code he
pronounced more infamous than that of Draco
and assed whether we were bound to recognize
as valid any such law as this, and some others
he mentioned. Why, sir, there is a law in the
gentleman’s own State, Ohio, that punishes am
person who entices an apprentice to run away
Whoever harbors an apprentice escaping from
the tyranny, perhaps, of his master—an orphan
bov, it may he—whoever gives him bread in his
wanderings—as the gentleman was very pathetic
I must follow him —under the Ohio laws,‘is subject
to indiement and punishment. The man that
would give one, thus in distress, shelter and a cun
of water 1
Mr. Bingham—Did Ohio law make it a felony «
Mr. Stephens—No, sir; but it makes a crinie.
Ine only difference between your law and that of
Kansas is as to the grade of crime and the extent
i of jiunishment.
Mr. Bingham—Wliat law does the gentleman
refer to ?
Mr. Stephens—l refer to the law in reference
to apprentices, and the enticing them away. I
am not complaining of the law, but only showing
how the gentleman's declamation can be answered!
Every community, sir, must judge fur itself in all
such cases, both as to the grade of the crime and
the punishment to be inflicted. But to the gentle
man, in case, I would say as Scotland’s poet said
to the “unco guid” of his day—
“ Oh, ye who are so good yourself,
So pious and so holy :
Ye’ve nought to do but mark and tell
Your neighbor’s faults and folly.
*** * ‘ *
“h e see your state with theirs compared,
And shudder at the niffer ;
Buy cast a moment’s fair regard,
\\ hat makes the mighty differ!”
It is only on the point as to the extent of the !
punishment that Hie Ohio laws, in this instance ■
differ from those of Kansas. Now, what 1 main! !
t..in is, that il any of these laws of the Territorx ;
he not good laws or wise laws suited to the people 1
there, let them be changed by the people in the '
regular legislative wav. We belong, sir, to a gov
ernment of law ; and it is the duty of every good
citizen to sustain the law as it exists, until it is :
changed and modified by the proper authority, or
until he is ready for revolution. What character
izes the United States and distinguishes us above
all other nations more distinctively than this—!
that here we have a government of laws emanating
from those who are controlled and governed bv j
written Constitutions ? If our laws are wrong, we !
have but to go to the polls—to the ballot-box—to j
have them amended, corrected, and suited to the !
public wants. To the ballot-box, and not the cart- 1
ridge box, the people should go to settle questions i
touching the character of their laws. “Inter arma i
Unt leges. It, by the Kansas law regulating the ;
election of a delegate on this floor, any person is !
allowed to vote who were not entitled to vote tin- I
iler their organic law, and any such person in the j
Lite election did so vote, and'Governor Reeder had !
gone into the contest, and hud come here showing j
us that such illegal and improper votes had been
polled for the sitting member, and that he had re- j
ceived a majority of the legal votes of the Terri- j
tory, 1 should not have hesitated in doing what 1 .
could to give hint the seat. But he did no such j
thing, lie and his friends set themselves up in
opposition to the law, denied its force and valid!- I
ty, and are now attempting to overthrow the only ;
government and system or laws in that Territory
to which the people can look with confidence and '
security for the protection of their lives, liberty j
and property.
This clamor, sir, about a majority of the people j
of Kansas being opposed to General Whitfield’s !
election here will not do ; it will not bear the test;
<>f notorious facts. If it were so, why had he no j ,
competitor at the polls? Where was’ Reeder that
he did not show his relative strength with him be
fore the people ? This is not the first time that |
(ieneral Whitfield was a candidate before them,
lie was elected in November, 1 s'4. At that time
he had competition. I have before me the official 1
poll made out and entered upon the executive min- I
utes by Governor Reeder himself. Here are the i
entries :
“ DeaevJber 4,1 s.'>4. The judges of the several (
election districts made return of the votes polled ;
at the election held on the 22th day of November
last, for Delegate to the House of Representatives |

“ December 5,18.74. —0 n examining and collating
the returns, J. W. Whitfield is declared bv the
Governor to be duly elected Delegate to the House
of Representatives of the United States; and !
same day certificate of the Governor, under the
seal of the Territory, issued to said J. W. Whit
field of his election.”
Here the number of votes appear officially and in |
full, in all the election districts in that Territory, I
numbering from one to seventeen. There is the
poll,examine it, for .1. W. Whitfield, 2,258; for J. A.
Whitfield, which was by mistake for his name, 24*;
making his real, entire vote 2,506 ; and for Flen
uiken, his highest opponent, only 305. Tiie whole
number of votes polled were 2,733 ; so that Whit
field in that contest received more than eight times
the number of votes polled for Flenuiken, his
highest opponent, who was the candidate of Keed
! or and his partv, and who now pretend to be a
majority in the Territory. At thefastjelectionWhit
field got 2,936 votes, without opposition.
Mr. (,’raige—What has become of Flenuiken?
Mr. Stephens —Flenuiken flunked ! The lust I
heard of him he was on ius way back East, where
he came front. [Great laughter and applause
upon the floor and in the galleries]. lie has
never been in the Territory since, as I have been
informed.
Mr. Speaker, 1 do not think that the investiga
tion now sought is right, for the reasons I have
given. lam opposed to it in toto. But if it is to
be gone into, would it not be much better to send
I out a commission, as is suggested bv the minority
! of the Committee of Elections? Nay, I go fur.
ther. Would it not be much better to send a j
committee of the House—the Committee of Elec
tions themselves, if you please ? If we are to go
through with this exceedingly complicated ailitir, 1
| would it not be better for tlx* committee to go to
\ the hundreds and thousands of witnesses that
inav have to be examined, than to bring such a
; “cloud” of them to the committee?—as the “moun
tain cannot conveniently come to Mahommed, is it
not better for Mahommed to go to the mountain?”
Send the committee out there if a full investiga
tion is what you are determined on, with the same
power in the premises ; and let them make their
investigations upon the “ battle grounds,” if they
are to be found in the vicinage of the voters If
von are going a fishing for all the tacts in real
; earnest, whv not make a complete drag of It at
once ? Send" out the arms of your net far and wide,
and make a thorough haul over the whole broad
territory, and bring to land everything, whether
fish, eel’, or serpent ?
But, Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, I am against
this resolution forxonother reason. lam against
1 it because it is but a part and parcel of a policy
now pursued by some men in Kansas and else
where, which cannot be looked upon in any other
light than revolutionary in its character. Gentle
men cannot he mistaken in this particular. There
are men in Kansas who seetn to have resolved on
rebellion. Thev were among the original enemies
i of the Kansas Sill. When their leaders were beat
eu in this Douse and in the Senate, and that great
: measure of sectional and national equality tyas
i carried against aud oyer their votes, they betook
• themselves to new schemes to prevent its potent
- influence in allaying agitation, and to make it the
5 I occasion of continued strife and discord. The ter
. ritory was not left to settlement by the people of
- i all the States equally and fairly, as the laws of cli
i mate, soil, locality, production, and population
; mi j?“ t determine; but emigrants from distant
points were stimulated, if not hired, to go there
i with no purpose but mischief. Their main objeci
i was not to become bona jbk settlers, but to control
; the first elections. In this they were beaten, as
fully appears in the present silting Delegate’s first
election, which 1 have shown. They were also
i beaten in the first election of members to the Legis
lature, as appears front the certificates before allu
ded to, given to the members of that bodv bvGov
Reeder himself. And now, disappointed, discou!
; tented, and disaffected at these series of defeats in
| their designs and objects, they are about to betake
] themselves to the last resort of malcontents—a
j trial of physical force. Arms are collected—forti
| locations are built—munitions of war arc provided
i —Sharpe’s rifles are procured—volunteers are in
voked—aid and assistance from a distance are
j looked for—money is raised, and hostility against
j the existing legally constiiuted authorities is open
jlv avowed. The telegraphic dispatches of this
i morning announce that the government pro
claimed by the Topeka convention is to go into
operation at all hazards. All these movements are
lawless, insubordinate, and insurrectionary. Gov.
Reeder may be considered as at the head of them,
the commander-in-chief of the whole of them;
and his movement here can but be viewed as a
part ol bis general plan of operations. Auy coun
tenance he may seent to receive, therefore, at out
hands, can hut favor his ulterior designs. This
must be all he looks for. He cannot expect to he
voted a seat on this floor.
! Now, sir, let us pause and reflect. How far, in
| this business, do you intend to proceed? Are you
; going to back those deluded men in Kansas whom
j Gqveinor Reeder represents here, while they stand
I with arms in their hands? We see by the Presi
! dent’s proclamation, that he intends that the laws
of that Territory shall be executed, as it is his duty
jto do. Now, which side are you going to take,
when Sharpe’s rifles and Federal artillery are
i brought in array against each other in this threaten
| ed conflict? Ought we to do anything calculated
to inspirit or encourage any misguided portion of
the people of this country to put themselves in
open, hostile, armed resistance to the laws? What
is this but treason, as expounded by our courts?
Our history, as a united people, dates back for
more than seventy years ; and no conviction for
this highest crime known to society has ever, as
yet, marred that history. No nation, perhaps, ever ;
existed in the world so long, of which the same can
be said. I feel the prouder of my country, because
it is so; and long may the day he hence’before, if
ever, such a ease shall occur. I trust that my eves, at
least, will never see the light of that day when
American soil shall be stained with a traitor’s blood.
Some persons in Kansas may have, under their de
lusion, gone very far; hut 1 trust that the locus
penitential, in every such heart, will he found be
fore the last extreme step be taken. Let us be
careful, at any rate, that we do nothing here in
this matter which may tend to encourage them to
take that .stop. Let it he our aim and our objeci
rather to “pour oil on the troubled waters.”
Ours is a government of laws. Let us, then, in
our action in this case, set a good example, not on
ly to the people of Kansas, but to the whole coun
try, by adhering strictly ourselves to the principles
and precepts of the laws established for the gov
ernment of all our deliberations and proceedings
here. This investigation proposes to lead us into
an inquiry into subjects over which I think 1 have j
clearly shown we have no proper or legitimate ju- j
risdiction. Let ns not, then, assume powers and
prerogatives which do not belong to us, in our at- ;
tempting to see if another body has not done it; j
and, particularly, let us not do it for bare party I
purposes, when the only effect of it may be to put ;
in hazard the peace and quiet of the country. — I
1 hose, sir, are my views and opinions upon the
proposition before us.
