SPEECH OF HON. J. J. CRITTENDEN

patriotic address to the Legislature of Ken

upon the ground that the Territories be

or /IF a property held absolutely for Gm Gen
era! Governmeut to be controlled or disper

follows that that General Government, to be
just and to act upon the pnnciplcs of the
Constitution, ought to so administer the
property that each and and every State—
every portion of the Union—,may have an
equal participation in and an equal enjoy
ment in that which belongs equally to
al
the Territory of the [lofted States.
MEMO
It serene to •me, therefore, that there is
injustice in exclude from from that equal and
full enjoyment any flirts of Stater; because
of any institution that may exist in them
The Could!Uttton gives to the other Suites
no right to monopolize that territory. and to
assume the entire ownerabip and enjoyment
of it. Thd Constitution accepted them at
its foundation.* IVaccepted them as slave
holding States. It accepted them at that
time of its adoption as entitled to equal
rights, notwithstanding they held slaves.—
jt accepted alaveholding and non slavehold
ang klitates as standing in equal favor with
the Coustitution, and entitled to equal rights
and equal juktice from 4.hat Constitution.
So regiuling it, it heerns to me that jt
ivou i ld be unjust for the free States to Aritilyjlo
,and usurp to themselves the entire control
of those Territories, and se eonkrol them as
in effect to exclude from them poreoausokf the
axone of a certaiircla.ss of States. II tho't,
therefore, sir, teat the Nolr was in ISie,
wrong, and that the South 'teas in' the right

rights in the T erntortes of the United States;

I proposed, one of their chief obyeets, wee to
procure, by ap amendment to the Constitu

on the part of the South. Upon Constito

all the Territories of the UnatediStatec,s,nd
the Southern .Itates in common thp

equal right tn all the Territories of kfte

Fearful Rule qn a Locomotive
" Howard," tile correspondent of the New

" Twenty.nine miles in -thirty minutes'

noticed that engineers were quiet, dignified.
sober People; and now I understand it. I
should regard a joking. wiling engineer as
. a jolly. whittling undertaker,
Describe my ride on the Huron ! Never!
The whisilla nearly blew my cars oil ; the
rushing air wore out my eyes; the jog
gling of the engine, airit leaped from rail to
rail alt-but broke the end of my backbone
off; my hat, which was blown away in less
thin k minute after we started, was caught
•y the fireman in a miraculous mauner,.and
every nerve in my body jumped, squirmed
and wired, as relentlessly the von steed
kept up to " time."
No the head of a luels;eficirep was neat
i i
ly ken off: then two Bibs rfan gentlemen
wIl were quietly amoirmg by the roadside,
we apparehtly frightened out of their
w , and before they had recovered them,
irad rushed fearfully, frantically by a i
station, in such close prozimity to a freight
train that I held my breath and tren.bled
lest the nest second should be my INV,. I
had no idea before of the manner in which
an engine " jumps," but I have ' now.—
While we were going at this terrific speed,
while the mileposts succeeded each other ao.
awtftly that they seemed like fence sulker',
and while the various growths 'of wheat,
oats, potatoes, and corn looked as if they
were planted in a heap, the engle would
lump, leap, skip and roll like a frightened
horse, and in a "dreadful unsartiii'' mar.•

natural rush with which we weregonig, at d

pulled a rod and an unearthly scream was
heard Ile'linalmil another one, and the
speed, already like that of the arrows dart,
became that of the lightning's flash. Ail
was under his control, and I could but ad
mire his coolness, the firnn of purpose
and quickness of execution. No wonder I
that he is a quiet, uncommunicative person :
he deals with facts, between which amt un
eerie sled horror there is but a hand's breadth,
nil coming at ally moment can only be
warded off or remedied by his skill. I was
glad, and yet sorry when the twenty•nine
miles were finished : 00, pecaue physical.
