contains wiihin itself the seeds of ail evil. It is fnrther said tliat the people were fac tious, ami as they meant, at any rate, to reject the Lecompton Constitution, it was right not to give them a chance to do so. But if the Constitution for any reason did not please tb£m, thay had a right to rt ject it; nothing is so factious as a minority attempting to rule a majority. It is said they should be punished for not going to the polis at the bidding of rueu who were believed to be disposed to defraud them. They weDt to the polls tho first moment that they were satisfied of any chance of a fair re turn, even though suffering under great disad vantages in the apportionment of representa tives. It is said that the people of Kansas, once admitted into the' Union, may change their Con stitution. If this is dishonestly said, 1 will not use the lauguage which would properly de scribe the proposition. If, as it is to be prt •snmed, it is honestly said, and I am snro it i 3 honestly said by tbe Prcsideut, then why give to the men of Kansas a teversionary right of possession l Why do wrong, simply that wrong may be undone ? If this is all that is intended ; if there lies uothiug behind this ; if there are no indications of a wish to perplex the national councils, and so to pave the way for a change of the national policy or for disunion, then mischief has been doDe wantonly and gratuitously ; the country is convulsed by its public authorities, for an issue as ludicrous as it is wrong. It was hardly worth the while to shatter the Democratic party for anything so paltry. But whiie it is admitted that tbe sub mission of a Constitution to the people is tbe oorrcct principle, it is said that fourteen States would be displeased if this correct principle were to be followed out. Now, the South, in the organic act for Kansas, obtained all that it asked for, and the maiu result has been exactly what Southern men foresaw. Tbe South has nothing whatevor to gain by the adoption of the Lecompton Constitution. It preseuts no ques tion of practicle advantage to the South, and it canuot be pretended that the admission of Kan sas under it will carry with it nuy advantage for the South. As a question the score of ex pediency it does nothing but injury to the South ; the issue, presented a- a Southern one, id untimely and mistaken, unwise, aud anything but national. And would it wound any at tue South less to have the people of Kaueas, as soon as the General Government is out of the way, undo all that fcas been done? Is it not more re spectful to the South to state the case man fully and temperately, and rely on Southern magnanimity and sense of justice 1 Again : it is said the Union is in danger ; the Cuicn is to be dissolved. There is uo present danger to the Union. The sufferers of wrong in Kansas have been almost all Northern men ; and the North has no wish to desert, or dissolve, or weaken the Union. But it is urged tbe men of Kansas are in rebellion. The imposition of a loathsome and l ejected Constitution is an odd remedy for pre tended rebellion, which, as far as I know, has no precedent, except in King George aud tbe British Parliament in 1774. It Governor Walker found discontents thero. the promises of equity which he made in the name of the President quelled rebellion by mealies of the ballot-box.* The waves never rase unless the wind blows. If the menace of the Lecompton Constitution seemed likely to excite disturban ces, Governor Stanton, to his honor be it said, lulled the rising commotion, not by calling in the army of the United States but by peace fully couvokiug the legal Legislature of the Territory. There is now no insurrection in Kansas , there is no rebellion there. Cease to dispute the unquestionable right of the majority, and tbe star of peace will rise serenely, the storm will be hushed, and the waves subside. The Government will uot find a rebellion there , let it not provoke one. And what a contrast between a Governor of a Territory restoring peace through the repre sentatives of the people nnd an officer of the General Government, cailiug himself a Presi dent of a Convention, taking an escort from the army of the United States to make his en try into the capital of Kansas amid the mur murs ot its people. If, to the questiou betwaeu the Lecompton Constitution and the people of Kansas, wo ap ply the test of principle, we find that the en forcement of that Constitution will be an act ot' power against right; of tho army against the people ; of force against reason ; of usur pation against the rightful will of the majority. It wiil be a violation of the fundamental prin ciple of free government by consent. It is dt rectly at war with Democracy, whoso cardinal point is the power of tho people. The *up porters of the Lecompton Constitution have not one square inch of Democratic ground to stand upon. A Constitution for its validity needs the coucurence of the majority of the people, either silently, by a general acqui escence, or by an appeai to the polls. iSuall full and undoubted evidence be required tor a deed of a foot of land or a gift by wiil of a 6hilliDg ? Shall a merchant or banker have power IO stop payment of a check fraudulently ueld, aud shall the people have no power to stop their servants from sequestering their rights ? Shall the most insignificant treaty ot a Miuister Plenipotentiary want validity till it is ratified ? And shall the highest treaty ot the people with themselves be made in a corner by their servants without their assent ' is form everything and substance nothing ? is appearance everything, and truth and right and reality nothing? There is not a precedent for enforcing a Constitution against the consent of the people. The principle of popular ratification is sauc tioneu in the Minnesota act. The President in his annual message emphat ically declares that the example of submitting a Constitution bo the people is founded on a correct principle; so that his instructions to Gov. Walker on that aubjeot wore properly expressed in unqualified terms. Again : Congress has power to admit States, but uo power whatever to make a Constitution for a State : still less to impose on a State a Constitution which the majority of its people loathe aud reject. Ibe tendency to centrali aation of power in the General Government is rapid and dangerous. We protest against its .further increase and agaiust its present excess. The true basis of pohttical organization be tween ail parts of tbe Union was, from its be ginning, the rights of tho States, and that basis dffers for the future, as it has for the past, the most perfect guarnntee or security and Union. Redress must eouie from the people of the United States. They in their stieogth must remedy the existing evil, by a distinct expres sion of their will. The moment is fraught with dangers, which the adoption of the Lecompton Constitution would only aggravate. A depaiture from the principles on which a Government rests is an evidence of its decay. The violation of lue principle of popular sove reignty wastes the life-blood of the republic. Again : in a popular Government, where the rulers are but servants, anarchy steps in when principle is forgotten and expediency is made the guide. Again : the concentration of power iu the bands of a Convention like that of Lecompton is not an American idea. It is borrowed from those Republics of Europe which were not ca pable of existing long, for the very reason that power was so coi otntratcd. It is derived from the worst examples of tho worst periods of rev olutionary France, when minorities usurped power ovor a nation by terror aud reckless da ring. If tbe rule of the minority Convention is now formally sanctioned by Congress, it will be a most dangerous precedent—an instrument of wtath, treasured up for a day of wrath. We appeal against this system to the whole Democ racy of the country, we appeal to all people who love order, and justice, and freedom. This city for its numbers, is the wealthiest iu the world. 1 call on the men of wealth in this great city to take to heart the danger of establishing as a principle'that a majority of a tingle body, elect ed to a Convention perhaps in times of high ex citement, filled, as will sometimes Lappco, with men desperately daring and corrupt, animated, as men under such circumstances are apt to be, by personal aud party passions should assume the,absolute right to change the fundamental law of the country without a reference to the people. If they arc cut alarmed on account of their own fortunes, 1 ask them to cousider what disposition, under such an absolute Con vention, might be made of corporaie property — what changes iu the management of trust funds set apart tor purposes of charity, or education, or tbe support of religious worship. Especial ly,speaking sober earnestness to reflecting men, 1 remind the Catholics of what tuight happen, calling to their recollection the grievance to which they wero exposed in an Eastern State, and from which they only escaped by the refer ence of tho Constitution to the peep! •. We call on our naturalized oitizeu# to reflect ou their danger from the principle involved in accepting the decision of a Convention as final, and with out appeal. Our country is subject to periodi cal excitements ou she franchise of naturalized citizens ; and it may happen that Convention possessed of this ob.-oiuie power may seek to perpetuate themselves and their party m office by one sweeping disfranchisement of the foreign born. Wo call on the poor and on tho laboring men to come up to the rescue ; fur, in the di vision that prevails on universal suffrage, soon er or later, a Convention would he found ready to limit the right to suffrage, and to maintain the limitation by force. We claim the aid of every Irishmen to a man, and every descend ant of Irishmen ; for Ireland; through three centuries, shows the bitter fruits of a Govern ment imposed l -y 41 -" —• n-.. shameless minority aud tho Central power. Wo will not make an appeal to tbe South, as such , but if any part of the Union has cause for ahitni at the increase of the power of u Con vention, suddenly called together, we should say it is tbe South, and wore Jefferson alive,we should ou this occasion have, a protest from his j pen. Tho guiding principle of his statesiuan ! ship was to consult tbe people and to revere the | people. But what do I say ? A voice comes to us froui cue of Jeffeison's successors, in the Chair of State in the Old Dominion, and in clear and distinct, terms ho rejects tho Lecomp ton Constitution, as not the act and deed of the people of Kansas, and he rightly condemns the Lecompton schedule, as not. republican.— New York will respond to Virginia, and the great Northwest will swell the echo. The policy of enforcing the Lecompton Con stitution on an unwilling people is neither wise, nor expedient, nor possible. Principle is the truo diviner's wand by which the President of a free people sways the millions, and secures | majorities for his measures in Congress. The j uegiect of principle for temporizing expediency always loses the respect ot majorities in Con gress and out of it. The ship of State is wa ter-logged ; throw the fraudulent Lecompton Constitution overboard ; let principle take the helm, and the bark will spring forward on its was as in the bust years of our Republic. Ours | is the cause of pe ice, of order, of true Deusoe . racy, of Union, of freedom. All good omens are with us. For our part, we are resolved to walk iu the central path of humanity, shunning sectionalism and fanaticism on the one side, and subserviency to dictation on the other. True Demoeraoy inscribes on its banner, TIIF. RIGHTS OF THE STATES AND TNE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE ; it upholds freedom to the State in the Union, and the indefeasible right, of (ho majority, whether in a Stato or in a Territory, calmly, deliberately, and undisturbed, to form and accept, or reject a Constitution fur them selves THE TEST. The President his removed from office the | postmaster at Chicago aod Columbus, although | they were appointed by himself a few months since, ou tbe ground of their opposition to the Lecompton villainy. It has thus been decided at "head quarters" that the famous old doctrine that "tho majority shall rule" shall be sticken out of the democratic creed, under tbe reign of I Mr. Buchanau. All applicants for government ! places, who desire to have a shadow of chaHee iin their efforts to reach them, must swear by j Lecompton, without even making u wry face, | and cut themselves off forever froui Bancroft, Douglas, Walker, Forney and Stanton. Bar i der Ruffianism is the Federal Court. In order to show our readers how the thing is working, we cut from an exchange paper an incident in regard to tho Post Office at Cleveland. The line is tightly drawu, and all who are anxious to serve the country, aud receive a slavery for their services, must toe tbe mark without flinch ing, eschew all the teachings of old fashioned democracy, which aro highly distastful to souao people in power. A handsome young bride was observed to be in deep reflection on her w:ddmg-day. One of tbe bridesmaids asked the subject of her med itation. "I am thinking," she replied,"which of my old beaux I should marry, in case I should become a widow." STATEMENT JXD REPORT of WM. F.
