TON K i s o , against the Lecompton ConstitutioB.

I t adds another to the number o l unanswerable

arguments which have been delivered upon this

i subject, and it will be read with interest all over

this Union. Bold, energetic , courteous and

truthful, the arguments and conclusions of oar

Benator are alike convincing and irresistible.—

This is one of those s p e e c h e s which aims a t no­

thing but troth and sincerity, and for this, feature

a l o n e , »hlehids the distinguishing trait of our Sen­

ator, it is 8 privi lege to read it. For ourselves,

we have read no speech, since the commence­

ment of the present session of Congress, with

more interest than this argument of our able and

faithful Senator, which was delivered on the 18th

ins tant

T o show how it is viewed in other quarters,

we subjoin the following brief notices of i t ;

SENATOR KrNe*S SPEECH.

[From the New York Evening Post.} T h e timely speech of Senator King was deliv­

ered during that memorable trial of physical en­durance—in which the Republicans achieved one of the most precious victories—on Tuesday last. I t is marked, throughout, by its author's charac­teristic good sense , prudence, frankness, and in­flexible firmness. It is one of the most compact statements of the wrongs to Kansas and to our national character, sought to be perpetrated by the Administration, through the Lecompton Con­stitution, which we have seen anywhere, and may b e regarded as an epitome of the whole Lecomp­ton issue. W e need not say more of a speech which every one will read, and which, we are BQcBi contains not a single position that can be shaken.

[Prom the Albany Evening Journal.] The Post does not exaggerate the merits of

th is excel lent speech. I t reached a s by mail to­day, and w e ebaJB lay it before the readers of the Journal tomorrow. Its positions are impregna­ble, its tone eminently worthy of the occasion and the tfhbject I t is a speech which no citizen w h o appreciates the dignity of toe " Empire State " can read without a feeling of just pride that N e w York is represented in the 0 n i t e d States Senate as ic should be.

S ince the great struggle for Free Territory, which is now at its crisis, began on the floor of Congress, years have gone by, with checkered fortunes; parties have shifted like quicksands, and men and measures had their rise and fall.— But it 4ias ever found in Preston King the same inflexible, faithful and indomitable defender of true Republicanism and Popular Rights.

Persona seeking investments in a class of first-rate' steamers, will do well to attend the sale at the 8t. Lawrence Hotel, in this Village, on the 2d day of April next. We observe that Deputy Sheriff Gen. S. F. Juno advertises to sell six, and that the Receiver, Hon. WILLIAM C. Baown, ad­vertises to sell nine. All these steamers belong to the Ontario and St. Lawrence Steamboat Com­pany. This will be a capital opportunity to obtain steamboat property at a Iow'figure, the times be­ing bard, and cash scarce.

Hr . Pres ident; before t h e .SeVQlu%6n;*1etiJter». were granted t o the colonies bythe^Orown. Since then, up to this time, the people o f the states of the Union h a v e made their constitutions for them-e e l v e e r - N o w j for the flrac time s i n e e t h e Conti­nental Congress declared d i e colonies free and in­dependent states; t h e question i s raised of the right Of t h e people to adopt or reject the consti­tution which is to create them a state qualified to come into the Onion, o n e of the equal s tates of our Confederacy.

Kansas, brought to the door of the Senate for the purpose oThaving the Lecompton constitution imposed upon hes; people by the authority of an sot of Congress, presents that question to us.

Benjamin Franklin, contemplating h is country w h e n her independence had b e e n acknowledged and the Republic, was established, i s said t o have expressed the wish that h e m i g h t be permitted to look upon this country after t h e lapse of a h u n ­dred years . If t h e shade of that venerable m a n could appear here , and listen to these debates up­o n the proposition t o add a new state from beyond the»Miss%sjppi to the Union , he would hear from the government aide calls for more troops, and arguments t o show the necessity o f an in­crease of the standing ^army \ h e would hear that the people of the State proposed to b e added to the u n i o n are a factious p e o p l e ; that they claim t h e right to vote o n the adoption of their constitution ; to h a v e the charter that de­fines their rights and their form of government submitted, by the convent ion that m a d e it , to themselves , and to express their opinion of i t ; that, in this new state, the people are unwilling to h a v e slavery establ ished as o n e of their insti­tut ions; that, although the President declares the constitution prepared for them by the Lecompton Convention to b e a good one , they contumaciously reply that it is n o t their const i tut ion; that they complain of fraud and corruption in the officials appointed and sustained by the central govern­m e n t ; that they refuse to pay the taxes levied by the legislature, alleging that they had n o voice in its election, and were not represented in i t ; that they agitate and annoy the government and disturb the quiet of the country by their turbulent and disorderly c o n d u c t ; that they remonstrate against stuffed ballot-boxes, spurious votes , forged certificates, and false returns at their elections, and demand of the government investigation and punishment of these offences; that they insist upon the right to decide for themselves the char­acter of their state institutions, and refuse to ac­cept the constitution which the government offers t o t h e m ; that they complain of the intrusion of regular troops belonging to the standing army of the federal government , sent to maintain law and order in their territory; that they are seditions ; that they are rebels ; that they have been per­mitted to occupy the attention ot the government and the country too l o n g ; that they must have a local government instituted over them by Con­gress, and be subdued by the a r m y ; h e would hear some uncertain and mystical suggest ions that the people of the state, when reduced to order, might possibly at some future l ime, be allowed to alter their obnoxious constitution in some legal manner. I think, after listening so far, Franklin would inquire i " I s this the American Congress, and have you established a consolidated govern­ment ? Or, i s this the British Parliament, an d have the United States re-united tb the Crown ? " Upon being told that this is one of the Chambers of the American Congress, that the United States are still an independent nation, and that the words of the federal constitution remain unchanged", be would say : " Then these honorable gentlemen, who occupy the seats of legislators here, have not inherited the republicanism of my day and gener­ation ; this is n o t the democracy that thundered at Bunker Hill, at Saratoga and at Yorktown, and rang out their battle-cry of liberty and indepen­dence through all the colonies, until the royal charters were abolished, and the right of the peo­ple to institute their forms of government and to make their constitutions for themselves was ac­knowledged I "

Mr. President, t h e convention held at Lecomp­ton framed a state constitution for Kansas, and refused to submit it t o the people.

The convention submitted a single provision of the constitution to the people—the question whether Blaves might hereafter be imported or brought into t h e s t a t e ; and required aa a prelimi­nary to the right of any elector, to vote for or against this single partial provision o n the subject 0? slavery, that he should first vo te for the ob­noxious constitution, which contained, separate and distinct from the provision submitted, an ar­ticle perpetuating slavery in the state of Kansas in the persons of those now held as slaves in the territory, and in their posterity forever.

A very large majority of the people were op­posed to the obnoxious constitution, and refused to vote for it. Without vot ing for the constitu­tion, n o elector could vote for or against the sin gle provision submitted.

It is notorious that the Lecompton convention knew the constitution it framed was repugnant to the sentiments, the opinions, and t h e conscien­ces of a large majority of the p e o p l e ; that they condemned the instrument and the institution of slavery it proposed to establish and perpetuate among them.

It is known to every senator and to every re­presentative i n Gongress, that a very large major­ity of all the qualified voters in Kansas h a v e ex­pressed their opinion against the Lecompton con­stitution, at an election held under the authority of an act of their territorial .legislature, on the 4th day of January last. W h e n the constitution was submitted, the people rejected it by their votes .

This is tb&ca--<e of Kansas, a s presented to the Senate by the majority of the Committee en Ter­ritories in their report and bill, which assumed that the first territorial legislature in Kansas was fairly and legally elected by the people , and or­ganized, and that the Lecompton Convention was fairly e lected by the people , i n pursuance of the law o f t h e i r territorial-legislature.

In t h e case thus made by t h e , majority of the committee,, the fundamental-question of the right of the peop le of a territory to adopt for themselves the constitution which creates them a state, pre­paratory to admission Into the Uni6n, is presented. T h e sovereign right o l the people is denied, and the sovereign right o i a convention of delegates affirmed. The question raised in the case of Kan­sas, is not a question for Kansas alone. I t i s for every territory hereafter to h e organized, and- for every .territory herealter t o Jbe. admit ted into the U n i o n , a s weU.as for K a n s a s .

I t is n o Iess_ vital to the people o f every state now Jnthe Union, because, it Is the question where sovereignty reaidea^whether in representatives and representative bodies, in the Federal Gov­ernment, or in the people . Our existence as a republican government rests upon t h e 'principle involved in tide quest ion.* <

sight." The act of Congress that organised the territory repealed the eighth section of the act' for the admission of Missouri into the Union, com­monly called the Missouri compromise-law—alaw which excluded Blavery from the territory ojj jKan-sas." This was a breach, of that faith and honor among men, which statutes can neither create nor destroy; a breach ol that faith and honor between communities Which is their only strong bond of peace and friendship. Successive statutes are monuments of the existence and decay of faith and honor brthe men who make them, and in the na-tions'wMch accept them. ,

Under a charter for a territorial government, instituted by such a statute, the Pwaldent appoint­ed a Governor, Secretary, judges, marshals, and other officers, and the day wag. appointed for an election of members of a Legislature by the peo­ple, which would complete the organization of their territorial govainmenu Aa the time for the election of members of the Legislature approach­ed, four thousand nine hundred armed men, not residing in Kansas, organized for that purpose by secret lodges in" the state of Missouri, passed over from that state into the territory of Kansas, and on the day fixed for the election of the first terri­torial legislature, seized by force, the control at most of the precincts in the territory, displaced by violence the judges of the election, took posses­sion of the ballot-boxes, and excluding the citi­zens residing in Kansas from the polls, proceeded to stuff the ballot-boxes, and in that way to des­ignate and appoint persons to be legislators for Kansas. Incontrovertible evidence of these facts Btands of record in the proceedings of the House of Representatives of the last Congress.

T h e invas ion from Missouri was successful and complete , and the invaders, having accomplished their purpose, returned In organized bands to Mis­souri. The persons thus created legislators for Kansas, assembled, organized, and, assuming to be the legislature, proceeded to pass laws for the government of the territory, and to levy taxes up­on taxes upon the people. Their enactments were arbitrary and oppressive, designed to drive the people from the sett lements they had made, and compel them to abandon the territory. T h e peo­ple of Kansas denied the authority ol this legisla­ture. In an evil hour, the President o f t h e United States recognised this usurpation as the govern­ment of Kansas, and large bodies of federal troops have been stationed in the territory to overawe tho people by their presence and to enforce the authority thus netariously imposed upon them.

The call for the .Lecompton convention was made by this usurpation, and upon its submission to the people less than twonty^three hundred persona re­sponded. The large majority of t h e p e o p l e denied its authority' and refused to vote on the call for the convention or at the subsequent e lect ien for delegates . Sufficient reasons existed for their re­fusal to v o t e ; they would not acknowledge the a u t q & t y of the usurpation. For the election of delegates, an act for the registry of voters had been passed, and the people in many of the coun­ties were disfranchised by the omission on the part of the registry officei a to register the voters. In these counties no places were appointed forholding the elections, and none could be held, and no dele­gates could be elected. In the counties where registries were made, they were partial, omitting large numbers ot the qualified voters. T h e peo­ple of the territory reasonably apprehended that, without regard to the number of votes which might be deposited in the ballot-boxes by the electors, the inspectors and returning officers of & e elec­tion would, by false certificates, return, as eleoted, men for their own purposes, and n o t the men who would receive the votes of the electors.

The origin and proceedings of the territorial au­thorities fully justified this apprehension. A t the election under ibeir authority in October last, to continue the Missouri usurpation, in the election of a new legislature, although the original inva ders did not reappear, s ixteen hundred Bpurions and fictituous votes were returned by the inspec­tors of election upon false certificates, from a sin­g l e poll, the Oxford precinct, in Johnson county. One of the officers of the election at the Oxford precinct—the very man, it i s said, w h o msnufaor-ed the false certificate returing the s ixteen hun­dred fraudulent votes—was one of the secretaries of the Lecompton convention. One thousand fraudulent votes at the same elect ion were return­ed from McGee county, and more or less from va­rious precincts, sufficient to decide the elections w itbout regard to the votes of the electors. T h e returns ot the election were iu accordance with the wishes of the usurpation, and not in accordance with the votes of the electors. Pres ident Buchan an, with the concurrenaaLOf his Cabinht, in their official instructions to Governor Walker , gave ex­press and positive assurances to the people of Kan­sas that the constitution, preparatory to their be­coming a state, should be submitted to a fair vote of the people, to be adopted or rejected by them.

Governor Walker , in his official communications to the people , repeated and affirmed these assu­rances. The candidates proposed for delegates to the Lecompton convention—afterwards return­ed as delegates—before the election voluntarily pledged themse lves to the public, verbally and in writing, that the constitution the convention m i g h t frame for Kansas should be submitted to a v o t e of the people . The Governor e l the territory, in­vested with authority by t h e President ot the Uni­ted States , proc la imed' to the people of Kansas that at an election, to be held with security against fraud or v io lence at the polls, and against false certificates by the returning officers, a fair oppor­tunity should be afforded to all the qualified vo­ters to v o t e ; and that a majority of the votes of the peop le should determine the adoption or re ­jection of the constitution; that his official reports to the President and Congress, and his action for or against the constitution should be governed by the v o t e of the majority at such an election. Gov­ernor Walker adhered to his declarations; h e re­jected the false certificates returning the spurious and fictitious votes in Johnson and McGee coun-t ies for members of the Legislature, and persist­ed in requiring that the constitution o f the Le­compton convention should b e submitted to a vo te of the people. For this h e fell under t h e displeas­ure of the Pres ident , a n d repaired to Washington to make explanations and represent the condition of affairs in the territory. H e failed to satisfy the President and hia Cabinet, or to induce t h e m t o fulfil the assurances w h i c h h a d b e e n g i v e n to the p e o p l e o f Kansas , that they Should h a v e a n oppor­tunity t o v o t e o n t h e adoption o f t h e i r state con­stitution.., '.Governor Walker i s reported to h a v e have said that h e wenWwith the administration to t h e gates of the penitentiary in this business, and he would g o n o further. H a had left the territory; h e decl ined to return t o it , a n d res igned h i s com­mission.

Secretary Stanton, w h o w e n t to the territory by t h e appointment and as a friend o f President Bu­chanan, became acting governor by the resigna­tion of Governor Walker . Upon assuming the execut ive power, Mr. Stanton refused to sustain the frauds by which the usurpation- designed-to perpetuate its power, and persisted; as Governor Walker h a d done , in requiring that t h e constitu­tion o f tho Lecompton convent ion should b e sub­mitted, for adoption or rejection, to a vo te o f tbp people,; whereupon, h& w a s summarily removed b y t h e President, and General D o n v e r . a bureau officer of t h e administration in Washington, was appointed^ first, secretary and then .governor. I t is this last Governor of Kansas, General Denver , who has certified the votes of the people of K a n ­sas at the e lect ion-authorized b y t h e l a w o f t h i e r new territorial legislature, and held on the 4th day of January last, in, which the vote, .of thfl peo­ple ia nearly unanimous, and the majority more than ten thousand against tho Lecompton consti­tution.

'e ight years ago , has less lodgment in the memory of the'coun­try than the Hartford Convention, which was held more t h a n . forty years ago." AH remember the' abor t ive treason of Burr ; sl id the movements for nullification, in South Carolina, in 18S2, dis­s ipated by t h e p e n o f General Jackson, whose proclamation a t the time invoked-a demonstration of devotion to the Union from the p e o p l e of every o n e of t h e U n i t e d States .

•Recollections of the conventions at Hartford and at Nashvil le , remind us that t h e idea of dis­solving the Union has b e e n imputed to s o m e and entertained by others in th i s Country. I h a v e never be l ieved that the people of any State of the Union favored I t ; although i t has become too common t o talk of i t in the halls of Congress, and t o pass resolutions on that subject in party conventions and State Legislatures.

F o r the purpose of extending slavery i n t o K a n ­sas, a great wrong has been committed against the principles of republican, government , and against the rights of fhe people of that territory. Le t the federal government retrace its s t e p s ; restore the administration to t h e principles and. practices of Washington and Jefferson; abandon the Lecompton const i tut ion; withdraw the troops from K a n s a s ; permit the people to make a con­stitution for t h e m s e l v e s ; admit the State into t h e Union, as every other State has b e e n admitted, In the constitutional manner in which her people desire to come, and the wrong which has been done, great as i t is, may b e forgiven. T h e coun­try would be at p e a c e ; and, in rejoicing over the return bf the government to reason, might forget t h e past.

Persist in accomplishing the object for which so much has been ventured by the present ad­ministration and the one which last preceded i t -attempt to force the Lecompton Constitution upon the people of K«™>"« by the authority of an act of Congress and the power of the federal a r m y — and you will have insubordination, resistance, bloodshed, and civil war. T h e people of Kan­sas will never consent to have slavery established among t h e m ; they will never accept the Lecomp­ton const i tut ion; they have already rejected it. In auch an issue of blood between the federal army and the people of Kansas, the government will be wrong, and the people-of Kansas will b e right. Will the people of the states remain spectators of the conflict? They will not. The people of Kansas are the countrymen and the kindred of the people of the states. Your law, opening the territory for sett lement, invited them to g o there. L e t the federal army spill Amer i ­can blood in Kansas, and you kindle a fire which the federal government and its army cannot ex ­tinguish. •

W h o , Mr. President, i s responsible for the long series of wrongs out of which these troubles come ? A n d w h o can be held accountable to the country for pernicious acts occurring during so large a space of time, performed in so many places, and participated iu by so many and vari­ous persons, for two success ive administrations of the government ?

Plan, system, design, moving and directing the action of all the varied agencies to a common end and object, are now plainly visible from the act repealing the Missouri Compromise, to the bill be­fore us, which proposes to impose the slave con­stitution of the Lecompton Convention upon the people of KanBas.

The act of the Congress \ h a t repealed the Mis­souri Compromise; the course of President Pierce, stimulated to be a candidate for renomi-nation, and persuaded to rely upon the authors of this scheme for his success ; the institution of the blue lodges b the State of Missouri; the resigna­tion of office by the President of this Senate, who went Btraight from the Capitol, in Washington, to organize, in those lodges o n the borders of Missouri, the armed invasion of K a n s a s ; the march, from that State, of forty-nine hundred armed men, not residents of Kansas, organized in companies and detachments , to the places for holding the elections in that territory; their seiz­ure of the polls on t h e day of the election, and their appointment of legislators to Kansas by force and usurpation ; the recognition of that usurpation as the government of Knnmfl by the administration of General Pierce ; the odious and oppressive laws they e n a c t e d ; the indictments for treason against the usurpation, in the federal courts of the territory—which were never t r i e d ; the total prostration of the rights of franchise in elections ; the repeated removal* of Governors who refused or failed to sustain the proceedings of the usurpers; t h e ' decision of the Supreme Court of the United States In the case of Dred Scot t ; the Lecompton convention and its consti­tution, with the faithless assurances to t h e p e o p l e of Kansas that the constitution for their s ta te should be submitted to their vote for adoption or reject ion; the quartering large bodies of federal troops in Knnms ; the election of state officers ordered by the Lecompton Convention, appoint­ing the president of t h e Convention (Mr. Calhoun) sole judge of the e lec t ions ; t h e false and fraudu­lent returns of votes at that election, now, and for nearly three months , in the possession of Mr. Calhoun, and his refusal to decide w h o w e t e e lected, until Congress shall have acted o n t h e constitution; and the bill now here to impose the Lecompton constitution upon t h e people of Kan­sas—are all parts of one continued plan and de­sign. Those w h o have performed the various parts are responsible and accountable, in their several degrees , for what they have d o n e ; but they h a v e been mere agencies of the power that controlled and directed their action. That p o w e r

,js the national organization of the Democrat ic party, and it i s responsible for t h e l o n g series of outrage, and for the great wrong which the bill before us proposes to consummate. T h e organi­sation of the Democrat ic party has fallen, irre­trievably, under t h e control o f nullifiers and s lave propagandists, many o f w h o m , i n all the states , but especially In the s l a v e States, were , until very recently, (die o p e n e n e m i e s of t h e - Democratic party, virulent denouncers of General Jackson, and the measures of hia administration; men w h o h a v e not now, and never d id have, a drop of Democratic blood in their veins . T h e organiza­tion of the Democra t i c party, controlled by the counsels of such advisers, has abandoned its prin­ciples and i ts trust.

the remark of Mr. Hammond, that Northern labor­ers are slaves, pronounced a g lowing eulogy on N e w Hampshire, saying b e painted in n o exag­gerated colors the state of her society.

Mr. Hammond (S. 0 . ) said be would not re­ply now to the gent leman w h o had taken excep­tion to his remark, but would reply generally at some future time. H e would only now Bay, that the Senator (Clark) knows he is depicting a state o i things w h i e h does n o t exist . Many of his constituents, he knows, cannot g e t a dinner.

Mr. Clark—With all due respect to the Sena­tor, 1 say they cannot only g e t a dinner, but can g ive one to the Senator if he wants i t ; but be wonld advise the Senator not to talk of mud sills there, otherwise five feet ten inches of ground, if that is the gentleman's hight , might be his por­tion.

H e did not think t h a t be, rece ived any rebuke, and h e hoped tha t he uev^r wojuld, for h e .tried to conduct himself l ike a Senator. H e branded the writer a s a falsi­fier of facts.! H e had called attention to the mat-

bter, lest othe> gent lemen might have been misre­presented. ,Mr. JBroderick a d d e d ; " W h e n the " article c o m e s to the knowledge o f the editor, " it would, he bad n o doubt, be disapproved o t "

Mr. Bigler (Pa . ) said that h e rose simply to se t himself right in reference to the debate ol Sat­urday—not t o account for a newspaper paragraph. H e knew nothing about it, and ol course n o Sena­tor i s responsible for what i s sa id in newspapers. There was scarcely a day that h e d h i n o t see some unaccountable statement in them. B u t b e felt i t due to himself to say t h a t , h e c a m e into the Chamber o n Saturday, after the quest ion to which he then referred to had been in s o m e way sug­gested. H e spoke, h e said, under mistaken ap­prehens ions a s to what had b e e n sa id . H e was now satisfied that, if h e had been in his seat , he should not h a v e . required to notice what passed. H e would make a n additional remark a s regards the Senator and himself. Ho certainly was not sensible of making any attack upon him,.or of say­ing what qould b e understood a s offensive. H e rose for the purpose ot defending himself against what h e thought was an imputation, on what he had previously sa id upon t h e unpleasant topic un­der consideration. H e was n o t disposed, in the absence of rthe Senator from HUnois (Douglas) , to say anything, o h this or any other question, that b e would hot s^y in h i s presence , and h e (Bigler) felt satisfied that w h e n that Senator and himself discussed the question under consideration, if they e v e r did djscuss. it or any other, the Senator from California 1 would be convinced that w e are each controlled by honorable and manly mot ives .— They had | (he continued) a difference o i opinion on the subject, b a t he did not know that they had anything more unpleasant. H e did not intend to be offensive to the Sentaor horn Illinois in his ab­sence , bun to say what h e thought , was just ice to h i m s e l f . ! ]

Mr. Wilde resumed, saying that the Senator from Penusplvania w a s mistaken i n supposing that b e ( W a d e ) had attempted to m a k e out there were differences b e t w e e n the Senator and the Democratic party. I t was not so . On the con­trary, he thought that he (Bigler) and the Presi­dent were as politically a l ike as Siamese twins, and s o wijth the whole Democratic party. U the President! tabes snuff, oil g o o d Democrats are bound tol sneeze . Mr. W . now recapitulated the circumstances: attending the formation of the To-peka Constitution, contending for its legal i ty .— The President, he said, had denounced the fra-mers of tpis Constitution as rebels. I f so there were maijiy more such in Kansas . H e stood there as their champion. I f tbey were rebels, s o were a majority of the House of Representatives. So was he. , Gen. Cass was a traitor for presenting that Constitution to the Senate. I t seemed that everybody w h o would not submit to b e trampled on by Bojrdor .Ruffianism is to b e denounced as a traitor, iff this thing i s continued, said he , there will be civil war.

Mr. Wade, continued to discuss the various points al leged against the Free-State proceedings of Kansas, replying to each by appropriate argu­ments . , H e next took up the Lecompton Consti­tution, examining its features, declaring the Slav­ery clause to be a Peter Funk operation, notbind-ing on the p e o p l e . , . Al luding - to the President of the Lecpmpton Convention, he asked, " W h o is this J o h n O.iCaJhouo? "

A S E N A T O E . — J o h n Calhoun. Mr. "tyadei—I a m glad, for the honor of his pre­

decessor, that i s not his name. But w h o is this fugitive fromjustice who flees to this place, where everything too vile to l ive at h o m e congregates , and w h o is now sitting in s o m e public-house of this city with the destiny of a great State in his pocket., Soihebody has said " Cotton is King." It's a mistake,' h o w e v e r — J o h n Calhoun is King.

I n conclusion, Mr. W a d e s a i d : Y o u can no more force a State into this Union , with a Consti­tution not the choice of its people , than you can force a State out of the Union. B o t h doctrines are revolutionary and distasteful to the American people . I W h a t has b e e n said about an enabling act deceives, nobody. H e ( W a d e ) would not ad­mit the necessity of an enabl ing act . The peo­ple will sett le the matter in three days, if permit­ted. Say to the people , Choose your o w n Con­stitution, and in o n e hour there will b e p e a c e . — The opposi te course will lead God k n o w s where.

Mr. Mason then rose. H e commenced by say­ing, w h e n at the c lose of the American Revolu­tion the several States met in Convention to con­sult together, many disturbing questions were the subjecm o f debate, but a t t h e bot tom o f all, and most disturbing of all, was that of African bond­age . I t was discussed to determine whether it should iform a n e lement of political power, and i t was finally guaranteed to the States where i t ex­isted that i t should form an e lement of political power j The at tempt in 1 8 2 0 to e x c l u d e Missouri from the Union because o f Slavery, was a strug­gle to impair the power e f t h e South. She was finally admitted, but only o n a condit ion unknown to the! Constitution, namely, the establishment of the: 86" 80 ' line. T h e South had bel ieved ev­er since that t h e Compromise w a s unconstitution­al, but i t was acquiesced in, and Senators now speak of it as a sacred compact , and when , in 1848, it was proposed, a s a quiet ing measure, t o ex tend that line to the. Pacific, e v e r y Northern vo te was against t h e proposal. T h e y exhumed from the dust t h e ordinance of 1787 against i t . — Mr. Mason here quoted from Mr. Madison to show that ordinance w a s des igned Only t o prevent car­rying the African s lave import trade into the Northwes t Territories.

Mr.iMaaon proceeded a t g r e a t l ength t o trace out t h e progress ive s t e p s of iaggress ion o n Slav­ery from the Revolut ion to the Dred Soott decis­ion. [In alluding t o the latter h e quoted from Chief Jus t i ce Marshal], w h o once sa id , " T B e "grea te s t curse an angry God could leave to an " e r r i n g people w a s a dependent Judic iary."— A n d ye t , said M r . Mason, t h e Senator from N e w -York (Seward) talks o f reorganizing the C o u r t s s o as to mak^e them sect ional and subservient to the fluctuations o f political parties.

Mr., Seward ( N .

r. Green (Mo. )—Any day this w e e k other day.

Mr. Broderick (Cal.) moved for a call of Senate. <

The Vice-Pres ident ruled that the motion was not in order.

Mr. Cameron (Penn.) asked if it was fair to gag the other s ide ot the Chamber. This was not the courtesy that prevailed in the olden time. For himself he did not wish to be a Senator , unless courtesy prevailed.

Mr. Green—The Senator from Pennsylvania i s iu conflict with what Senators told me not five minutes ago. They said they had not consulted together.

Mr. Cameron understood that gent lemen on the other side had a caucus and agreed on their course. His (Cameron's) s ide would m e e t in the morning.

A SEKATOB rose to a point Of order, saying that he wished Mr. Clark to go on with his speech.

Mr. Broderick m o v e d to adjourn. Motion lost by Y e a s , 1 6 ; Nays , 27 . Mr. W a d e moved for an adjournment. Motion lost by Yeas , 6 ; Nays , 2 4 . Mr. P u g h sugges ted that a quorum was not

present. ' Several points of order were raised and object­

ed to. Finally a proposition was made that Sena­tors who had not answered to their names be again called.

The Vice-President directed the Clerk to call the roll.

Several Senators attempted to address theSen-a t e when Mr. Seward rose to a point of order, say­ing that while a call was pending n o Senator cain speak. H e further objected that a quorum not being present the Pres ident had n o authority to direct the call of t h e roll to prooeed.

The Vice-President said the Chair w a s under the supposition that a quorum was present.

The roll was called, and Messrs. Chandler, Dix­on, Fessenden, Foot , Foster , Ha le , Harlan, Sew­ard and Trumbull, answered to their names, the corrected [.vote being yeas 15 , nays 2 4 .

Mr. Wi l son m o v e d for a pos tponement of the question until to-morrow.

Mr. Seward asked for the yeas and nays . N o t granted. Mr. Hale m o v e d that the Sergeant-at-Arms b e

sent for the absentees . Mr. Green (Mo. ) m o v e d to lay Mr. Hale's mo­

tion o n the table. Mr. Seward ( N . Y . ) called for the Y e a s and

N a y s o n Mr, Green's motion. Mr. Green's motion carried, b y Yeas , 28 ; NayB,

16. Mr. Trumbull, in reply to a question, said he

thought , " b u t could n o t s ta te for others," there was nothing to prevent a vote be ing taken this week . H e thought the matter should stand over .

Mr. T o o m b s (Ga - ) said the first s p e e c h o n Kan­sas was made o n the 9th of D e c e m b e r last, and s ince then the whole business of the cotmtry had been made subservient to it. The opposition gen­t lemen had spoken o f t h e i r rights, but the c o u n ­try has rights, the majority h a v e rights, and du ties as well as rights. One o f those duties is to expedi te t h e business of t h e country and crush out faction.

Mr. Harlan ( Iowa) , would like to know bow that crushing Out process was to be accomplish­ed . H e defended h is s ide from hav ing protract­ed the debate. The Opposition did not know the question was to be insisted o n to-day—but they k n e w the rules of the Senate, and would resort to them and make the question one of physical en­durance. H e would add that if they could ad­journ unti l to-morrow they might consult o n the subject , '*?J

Mr. Green said the bill had b e e n m o r e amply discussed than was the Kansas-Nebraska bill when only three days were a l lowed. Minorities h a v e their rights—majorities tljeir responsibil i t ies .— W e are resolved to take the responsibility. T h e g o o d of the North , o f the South , and the whole country requires i t .

Mr. Haml'm-jsaid if they could not agree, be, tbongbtb#'f#ends would not oppose, with feo-tiousThotiohs, to adjourn. • Mr Msson •recapitulated the terms of the agree-'meHt, namely, that the Republicans should con-fjSlt to-morrow, and give a frank answer whether br nopthey can vote on Monday next, and that unless-they do this, the Democrats may take such action as to them may seem fit. If he correctly understood the agreement, he would move that the 8enate adjourn.

Subsequently, the motion was withdrawn. Jlessrs. Seward and Hamlin said the terms of

flie agreement had been correctly stated. A SenStor objected to being bound by the

promise of any gentleman who said he should bind him if he did not express dissent.

' Mr: Pugh denied that the gentleman bad a right to speak against time. He (Pugb) would, if in a minority, always assent to the just decis­ions of a majority, but would never be botfnd by a decision of the minority. !

Mr. Wilson thought Senators should assent to an adjournment. His party had had no consulta­tions. They did pot know that a vote wonld be token to-day. He had consulted with the gentle­man from Virginia, (Mr. Hunter) and he (Hun­ter) did not think it likely that a vote would be taken this week. Besides, it was understopd that the gentleman from Illinois wished to speak, but he was sick, and could not possibly do bo this week. Mr. Wilson thought gentlemen should have confidence, after the assurances thjat had been made,

A vote was then taken on a motion of Mr. Wilson to adjourn.

Motion lost by Yeas 18, Nays 28. Mr. Seward then moved an adjournment. Motion lost by Yeas 18, Nays 22. On motion of Mr. Brown. Mr. Clark was per­

mitted to resume, with the understanding that when he concluded, the Senate might adjourn.

Mr. Clark said the Senator from Georgia would find it .hard work to crush out twenty; Ijlorthem Senators. A different class of men nojw come from the North—men who will not bow down and yield. They are sent not to bow down, but to stand up; and the more you crush them, the more they will stand. Had Senators on the other side persevered, he would have spoken to the day of doom, if he could have lived so long — But as they had been courteous, he would meet them half-way.

Referring to the President's assertion, that the passage of the Lecompton Constitution would bring peace and quietness, he said it Is always to be peace and quietness to pass measure after measure. The dove comes with the oUve branch, and ws take it into the ark, but no peace or quiet follows. He hod various amendments to consider, and had an "amendment of his own to propose, which was to tack on the old Missouri Compro­mise :y tjjnder these amendments, he would have gone into the debate fully. We are 1 told that Slavery cannot exist in Kansas; but Kansas is -no further North than Missouri, and if slavery is profitable there, it will be in Kansas. After fur­ther remarks on this point, he turned to his own State, (New Hampshire) once, he said the Gibral­tar of the Democracy, but now turned squarely round on the subject of Slavery. Referring to the recent election there, be added, she has how fixed her position as a Republican State, and there she will remain. She changes only once in a gen­eration. He closed by warning the Senate, that as they failed in 1862 and 1866, so they would fail by the admission of Kansas with the De-compton Constitution. Referring to the figure, in Mr. Hunter's speech, of the eagles gathering to the feast of empire, he protested against that vision. Let the youngest eagle of them all, said he, stay at home, and not seek to feed on carrion Europe. He would not have our armies march­ing through Mexico and Central Amdrica to the Amazon. They might do it, but it would only be by subjugating our fellow men, and extending the area of Slavery. We ought not to regret that " the nation that sinneth shall die."

WASBIHQTOB, March 16,1 A. M. Mr. Doolittle m o v e d an' adjournment. Motion lost by Y e a s , 1 1 ; Nays, 2 1 . Mr. Foster moved the further postponement of

the subject until to-morrow. Mr. Hamlin and Mr. Green then exchanged ex­

planations in reference to a conversation they had with the view of coming to on arrangement.

Mr. Green declared that unless h e cou ld h a v e a distinct understanding that a vo te should b e taken on Monday, he would g o on.

Mr. Cameron asked, " W h o is the gentleman from Missouri ? H e is but our peer. l a h e com­mander of the Senate majority that adjourned over from Thursday to Tuesday to attend a political pageant at Richmond?"

Mr. Green—That i s not true. Mr. Cameron—Do I understand the gent leman

to say that I state what i s not true t Mr. G r e e n — I said so . T h e Vice-Pres ident called both g e n t l e m e n to

order. Mr. Cameron—The Senator h a s applied harsh

language to m e . I will a l so use hajrah terms and say it i s an untruth.

Mr. G r e e n — Y o u are a liar. T h e Vice-Pres ident aga in cal led both gent le ­

m e n to order. Mr. Cameron asked the pardon o f the Senate

for hav ing dbne what t h e Senate says i s n o t right, though h e (Cameron) still thought h e w a s not wrong. For anything I said to that gent leman (Green) I a m responsible.

Mr. Green den ied that h e arrogated to himself to dictate t o members . T h e Senator does m e in­just ice , and h e k n o w s that h e d o e s m e injustice. H e (Green) w a s m a n e n o u g h t o m e e t h im (Cam, eron) or any other man. T h e slander of the Sen­ator will reverberate o n his own head.

T h e Vice-Pres ident again emphatically called the gent lemen to order.

Mr. Green said h e had said enough to the Sen­ator in this chamber. Out o f the Senate chamber he would use toward him a m o r e appropriate epi­thet which be longs to the W e s t . He would not longer infringe t h e propriety of the Senate. I f there is any animosity to sett le , it must be done outside. H e did not g o to the other side of the chamber to dictate, but to ask w h e n it would be agreeable to h a v e a vote . H e did not g o individ­ually, but a s the agent of a Committee. H e would (snapping his fingers as b e spoke ) settle the mat­ter with the Senator in five minutes outside.

Mr. Cameron said the Senatorls remarks had no effect upon him. H e was able to tak§ core of himself. All this discussion had b e e n protracted by the majority.

Mr. Broder ick—It is evident that the majority have resolved to s i t here until the adjournment T h e Senator from Michigan (Stuart) had g o n e home , which is fortunate, as h e w|U be here early in the morning. H e sugges ted tha t t h e gentle­m e n o n h i s s ide of t h e chamber m a k e n o further concessions or compromises .

Mr. Toombs spoke against i t Mr. Wi l son (Mass.) m o v e d a postponement until

T h e Senator from Illinois intended to speak, but is s ick. H e (Mr. W i l s o n ) had not the slightest doubt but that if the Republicans had been per­mitted t o hold their meet ing , they would have come in with a unanimous consent to vote on Monday. W h a t will force avail you ?

Mr. Green asked Mr. Wilson if h e (Green) had approached h i m in any but respectful language 1

Mr. W i l s o n — N o . Mr. Green again demanded from Mr. Wilson a

distinct appointment, and a definite .t ime to take a vo te .

Mr. Iverson thought the majority had not act­ed magnanimously in refusing the opportunity asked by the minority for the purpose of consult ­ing. H e thought the matter might be easily ar-raged by a Committee o n both sides.

Mr. Green still insisted, but said, if the Opposi­tion would p ledge their honor, he might perhaps accede.

Mr. Fessenden and others pledged their honor that they would meet , consult and fix to vote at the earliest day.

Mr. Green said that might be the first of May, J u n e , or July.

Mr. Fessenden declared that h e meant what he said, without mental reservation.

Mr. Green said h e uuderstood all that, but in­sisted on naming Kansas—that was the largest concession he could make.

Mr. Broderick was unalterably opposed to the admission of Kansas with the Lecompton Consti­tution. H e was prepared to accept his share of responsibility and endurance.
