This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kansas the Lecompton Constitution: Speech of Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, in the House of Representatives, March 20, 1858 It is not needful to speak at much length of the first important election in the Territory of Kansas, on the 3oth of March, 1855, when the people, under the organic act, were called upon to elect their first Legislature. It was an elec tion of vital, commanding importance. On that body would devolve the enactment of an entire civil, criminal, and miscellaneous code of laws, which would embody the wishes and protect the interests of the pioneer settlers of the Territory. It would also be required to enact statutes gov erning future elections, to appoint or provide for the election of the various county and township officers who were to assist in putting the ma chinery of Government in operation to establish counties and county seats; to select a site for the capital; and, in a word, by representatives fairly chosen, to concentrate the popular will into a body, which, in every free land, speaks with po tential voice, because it springs from the hearts and votes of the people for whom it acts. Need Irepeat the history of that organized invasion from a neighboring State, as large in numbers as the army with which Zachary Taylor achieved the crowning victory of his life at Buena Vista; which, with all the equipage and paraphernalia of war, surrounded the various polls, drove the actual voters from their own ballot-boxes with violence and imprecations; forced unsubservient election judges to carry out their will, or, withpistols at their breasts, gave them five minutes to die or to yield their places to their serviceable tools; stuffed the ballot-boxes with nearly five thousand fraudulent, illegal, rudian votes, elect ing an entire pro-slavery Legislature, with the exception of a single Representative from a dis tant precinct in the interior; and then returned to their Missouri homes with drums beating and banners flying, exulting over this unparalleled outrage which they hailed as a brilliant victory Though, at the risk of life, a few districts were contested, and new elections ordered, this bogus Legislature, when it met, promptly repudiated every one chosen at the second election, and in stalled in their stead the persons elected by the invading army, thus appropriately perfecting their organization. And this was the first step in the progress of affairs which has so fittingly culminated in the Lecompton juggle, which, as it did not have the people for its sponsor at the baptismal font, appears before us with John Cal houn as its foster-father, and the President as its next friend, sticking closer than a brother.

Douglas, of Illinois, Against the Admission of Kansas Under the Lecompton Constitution Mr. President: I know not that my strength is sufficient to eu able me to present to-night the views which I should like to submit upon the question now under consideration. My sickness for the last two weeks has deprived me of the pleasure of listening to the debates, and of an opportunity of reading the speeches that have been made hence I shall not be able to perform the duty which might naturally have been expected of me, of replying to any criticisms that may have been presented upon my course, or upon my speeches, or upon my re port. I must content myself with presenting my views upon the questions that are naturally brought up by the bill under considera tion. I trust, however, that I may be pardoned for referring briefly, in the first instance, to my course upon the slavery question during the period that I have had a seat in the two Houses of Congress. When I entered Congress, in 1843, I found upon the statute-book the evidence of a policy to adjust the slavery question and avoid sec tional agitation by a geographical line drawn across the continent, separating free territory from slave territory. That policy had its origin at the beginning of this government, and had prevailed up to that time. In 1787, while the convention was in session, forming the Constitution of the United States, the Congress of the Confederation adopted the ordinance of 1787, prohibiting slavery in all the territory northwest of the Ohio river. The first Congress that assembled under the Constitution extended all the provisions of that ordinance, with the exception of the clause prohibiting slavery, to the territory south of that river, thus making the Ohio river the dividing line between free territory and slave territory, free labor and slave labor.
