The People shall Govern
The true prinCiple! of Demaracy—iav - tha
tke people 4all goverk—and when we say
that, we mean the people who vote. It has
never been held, to our knowledge, that thit
portion of the citizens who do not vote, al
though if they were carefully hunted mid
numbered they might constitute a majority,
should rule. Tho ballot box, is the source
of power and those only who deposit their
ballots therein are consulted ut the forum.

without regard 'o those that are not polled,
decides all questions stilton tied, and that de
cision, s lattever it may - be, unlit rhle nntil
reversed by thy entity iiroetten. When a
question on it Inch the people hare a 1101 i to
be litard has been fair!) submitted to tie tn.
and all bamer, t Iln Lee action has been
removed; wo affirm that Government has
ale its duty ; !hire is no pin elide
of Democrat) , that would require a re
submission. It ia an old aim trite pro; , erb,
that "you may lead a horse to water. but
you cannot make burn drink " So y0n4,1•
with propriety submit a question or a len.
ciple to the vote of the people, but you h an
not compel them to give expression to their
voice. The doetrine that the people shall
rule, embodies the idea of popular sovereign•
ty, and constitutes the people the only hp
timate souree of power as they are ln all
free Governments. But to affirm, that that
sovereirnty could not be tenqinrardy dele
gated for a special purpose would at once he
a contradiction of the term. For, sovereign,
implien full power—omnipotence, and he
who in omnipotent can do whatsoever he de
sires. Then al" the people see sovereign in
a political point of view, there is nothing po
laical that they may not perform —they only
darllßlLlitti-Staktr_th4 possess, and to
ny them that right wotild.be to dibest flow
of the very power we co t pcede to them, when
we term them sovereids.,, Democratically

people de
sire to so change their Constitution that all
laws before genrir'into operation atmuld he
subuntted to a phpular vote, no one would
pretend to assert that they could not make
such an alteration. But it has ever been
found more convenient to give our Govern•
meat the character of a Representative De.
mucracy. Instcad of calling upon the peo
ple to assemble en muse in every election
chatrict,lto express their approval or disci
proval of propoaed laws, they choose from
their number, some one in whose ability and
integrity they (mantic, and , to him they JAI

of those who elected him. All men Cllllllot
be law makers, any more than all men eau
be lawyers or doctors, or the other vO

and destroy all other branches of enlighten
ed When the people then have
• fair opportunity to elect their Representa
tives, either for . a special or a general pur
pose, and their Representatives fail ti exe

remedy is by • recurrence to the mode in
which there flotpresentatives were originally
constituted, and the substitution of other
members of the e,ommtnity in their place

This appeal, coming os iE dot from thil

qualified by his poaition and by his personal
and official character to form a correct esti
mate of the impending ()sager and of the
proper means to avert it, has engaged the
earnest attention of the President, - and ho
has examined with care the facts and con- 1
siderationa pretlented by you.
There are two pinata upon which you de
sire the instructions o f the President. The
first is, whether a territorial tax must be
paid to entitle a person to vote at the else
-1 lion in ()mintier : mid the second ca, ;tdiuther
a person r.in vote under the orgamc not or

excluded by the express provisibbs of the
territorial act of February 20.1857 t Your

rela
tloas it loch exist between rho President and.
Kansas, rind between yourself and that Ter
i r tory, can be most usefully maintained by
carefully acting within the dear ',delimit
sphere prescribed to both these executive
officers.
It is the duty of the President to rake care
that theinws are faithfully executed. !In - '

judges arc appointed by the county commis

this decision, whatever it 11111,y Le, is
so far as the executue 14 vow:yr:nil.
There is, notwithstanding. one point of
view in which it may bw pruiser fur the E‘e
cutive of the Li it 1 Suitt, to expleriti an
opinion upon the questions you have sub
mitted
The Territory of Kansas is no a pc, übar
Condition By your statement—and pos-
SeSallig. as you do. the best Means of infor
mation, your viewn, in the opinion of the
President, are entitled to great weight—it
in in a state of incipient' rein Ilion, with an
organized military force prepared to resist
the authority of the Unill,ed States.
It may, therefore, become' necessary to
use the troops placed at your disposal, not
only as a posse onnalatus in executing the
laws. but also to aid to suppress an insur
rection. Surely, under these circumstances,
if the expression of an opinion in advance of
his action, and It may be instead of it, which
the President honestly entertairoi, will have
a direct elfect in preventing a civil war in
Kansas, be cannot be Justly censured fur
attempting, by sm•h an expression of opin
ion, to avert that calamitous result.
The danger you anticipate arises, as you
oltserVe, from the apprehension of a portion
of the citizens of Kansas that they will be
excluded limn the privilege el' voting be
cadso•ite.); helve not paid a territorial tax.
Now , the President, as well as every mem
ber of his Cabinet, concurs in opinion With
you, that the payment of such tax is not re
' (lowed as a qualification to vote. Ile and
they eat, rlitin not a doubt thatlhe'fi fth SVC
' tion of the act of February 20, 1857, is com
plete in itself, and prescribes all the qua lifb

cluded. They iliro also thinly convinced that
no person whatever. not possessing these
ilitalifications prescribed for voters by the
organic act of Congress of May 311,1854, hits
any just claim to the elective franchise.
In communicating this bplltion, the Pres
ident has no idea, as I have already stated,
that it can have Why legal effect in de,tartedit
