Sherrard Clemens, of Virginia, on the President's Kansas Message: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 18, 1858 Sir, the whole theory of our Government pro ceeds upon the assumption that the people cannot be in default, or derelict to themselves, because the power, subject to legal restrictions, is always in their own hands. After a constitution has been put in Operation, they are estopped from resorting to any means to disturb it, exceptt_he legalmeans; and using these, and these alone, they can only remedy the consequences of their own folly in ah staining from voting, or in absenting themselves from the polls. These undeniable truths have a direct application in the case now before us; and for that reason [ask that three editorials from the Herald of Freedom, the organ of the Republican party in Kansas, may be published herewith as appendix No.'l.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kansas-Lecompton Convention: Speech of Senator Douglas, of Illinois, on the President's Message, Delivered in the Senate of the United States, December 9, 1858 But, Mr. President, it is intimated in the message, that although it was an un fortunate circumstance, much to be re gretted, that the Lecompton Convention did not submit the Constitution to the people, yet perhaps it may be treated as regular, because the Convention was called by a Territorial Legislature which had been repeatedly recognised by the Congress of the United States as a legal body. Ibeg Senators not to fall into an error as to the President's meaning on this point. He does not say, he does not mean, that this Convention had ever been recognised by the Congress of the United States as legal or valid. On the contrary, he knows, as we here know, that during last Congress I reported a bill from the Committee on Territories, to authorize the people of Kansas to as semble and form a Constitution for them selves. Subsequently, the Senator from Georgia [mr. Toomss] brought forward a substitute for my bill, which, after having been modified by him and myself in consultation, was passed by the Sen ate. It is known in the country as the Toombs bill. It authorized the people of Kansas Territory to assemble in Convention and form a Constitution, preparatory to their admission into the Union as a State. That bill, it is well known, was defeated in the House of Representatives. It matters not, for the purpose of this argument, what was the reason of its defeat. Whether the reason was a political one; whether it had reference to the then existing con test for the Presidency whether it was to keep open the Slavery question; whether it was a conviction that the bill would not be fairly carried out whether it was because there were not peopleenough in Kansas to justify the forma tion of a State - no matter what the reason was, the House Of Representa tives refused to pass that bill, and thus denied to the people of Kansas the right to form a Constitution and State Gov ernment at this time. SO far from the Congress Of the United States having sanctioned or legalized the Convention which assembled at Lecompton, it ex pressly withheld its assent. The assent has not been given, either in express terms or by implication and being with held, this Kansas Constitution has just such validity and just such authority as the Territorial Legislature 'of Kansas could impart to it without the assent and in Opposition to the known will of Congress.

Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, Against the Admission of Kansas Under the Lecompton Constitution: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 30, 1858 We respectfully ask for the proof that the piece of parchment contains the will of the people of Kansas. We are told the Territorial Legislature took, by law, the sense of the people - and voted to call a convention; that persons voted, in all, for the members of the convention; that the convention, whose journal no one here has seen, voted the constitution; that it was not submitted to the people for their ratification, and that the vote of the 4th of January, of against it, is of no legal relevancy to the question before us.

Clark, of New York, Upon the Subject of the Admission of Kansas as a State Under the Lecompton Constitution: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 24, 1858 The northern democracy occupy a middle ground between two par ties which appear to' have taken form - the one regarding the exten sion of slavery, and the other the prohibition of such extension, as the object of their political organization. While they stand pledged to the maintenance of the constitutional rights of the south in respect to territory already acquired, or hereafter to be acquired, they are not committed, nor are they to be committed, to measures having solely in view the extension of the institution of slavery.

This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. R. K. Meade, of Virginia, on the Admission of California as a State: Delivered in the House of Representatives, June 6, 1850 Now, in order to justify the course pursued by the North, and relieve them of the suspicion of merely seeking political power, they must show that, by confining the area of slavery, the number of slaves will be diminished, or at least their increase retarded. I have heard some of my southern friends con, tend, that extending the bounds will not add to the number of slaves. In this I differ with them; and the law which governs the case, is Well nu derstood by our northern brethren, and that law, hard as it is, they are looking to, in the course of time, for the ultimate accomplishment of their purposes. It is the law which prevents procre tien in all densely-inhabited countries - that of hard usage, stint, and starvation. To proclaim this to the world, would disarm fanaticism, while a shriek of horror would rise from the lips of outraged humanity. Hence, they are silent; the masses are deceived, and the finest chords of the human heart are made to discourse music at the touch of hypocrisy. This is the whole game which they confidently believe will end, at no dis tant day, either in equality and amalgamation, or a war of extermination between the races. The more kind-hearted, in view of the power which California, Oregon, New Mexico, and a third of Texas will hereafter give them, and the convenient doctrine of obligations superior to the Constitution, lately broached in the Senate, may perhaps contemplate a more speedy and less bloody termination to the conflict. There are men, sir, now listening to my voice, who, while singing peans to the Union, are coolly calculating these chances; and there are some among us so fascinated with the song, like charmed birds, they are utterly unconscious of the deadly gaze of the serpent that is drawing them every day closer and closer to his folds.
