Tho air, however, darkens; a thick smoke rises ut oh every side; a formidable explosion . was heard; one would have taid it was a din- I charge of several cannon at oico.

I believe—that this power to regulate your domestic relations would be long to Congress,' not (o you ; but that u for eign legislature—foreign to the Terriloi its be cause they have no representation in it— lms the right to dictate on the subject of these re lations, and that it is its duly to control one of them, at least—that of master otid servant —and that the right of self-government docs not belong to' tho people. Do you think, if you wero there, you would approve such a monstrous usurpation ? He who would do so is unlit to enjoy Jho privileges of a freeman, as ho is incapable of nppixcialing their value*. It is a intension belter suited to (ho hanks of the Danube or tho Neva than .those of the Del aware or the Kansas. Do you not think that here or in a Territory you arc capable of judg ing and acting for yourselves without the aid or interference of meddling politicians, either in Massachusetts or wherever else abo]ltionism has led captive the head and hearts of men ; or political ambition directs it against (he consti tution ? And the great doctrine of tho revolu tion--the great doctrine of human nature—that man has a right to govern himself, is tho Kan sas act, the whole Kansas act. and nothing but the Kansas act, so far ns respects the principle involved in it; and in its preparation, and in the powerful and enlightened support ho lent to it. and to which its final success is greatly indebted, my frjend, whp Kits behind me, Mr. Douglas, kept steadily in view Una controlling element of our institutions, and made it the very corner-stone of the Kansas government; and he would bo a rash man. not merely a bold one, who, upon this holy ground of freedom, made holy by its associations, should deny the principle or condemn its practical; application. If every portion of our country would limit its Interference to ils own concerns, mid leave each political community, whether State or territorial, to govern itself, subject only to the constitution, wo should bo the happiest and most united, as wo tiro the freest, nation the world has ever seen. But this eternal propen sity to pass beyond the circle of ourown rights and duties, and to umlcri&ke to direct the con duct of othcis, has already worked incalculable mischief to our Union, and. if not checked,'will work its min. And how is it to bo checked, but by (lie action, prompt and fearless and en ergetic. of tho democratic party ? alone stands erect between tho constitution and its perils.' Its rival, mid sometimes, in mo ments of extreme danger to tho country, its co lalmrcr, the whig party, tho old-fashioned whig party, Is prostrated, broken up, severed Into fragments, each disjointed portion seeking new combinations.

Those Dominations have been made, and that platform has been adopted,' 'by.a unanimous vote—receiving tho vote of every delegate from every Stale of this great and glorious republic. Shall it hereafter be said that the democratic parly is not a tuifionnl. parly ?

It is a creed that can command tho faith and 1 support of every democrat—aye, and of every old-line whig who is true to tho principles of Clay and Webster. It is to bo remarked, and never to bo forgot ten, that in 1860 the leaders—tho champions of tfio “true grit” political party—your Clays and your Wohstcra, your Casses - and your Other patriots of the democratic party—united in agreeing upon a common creed in respect to thU vexed question-of slavery, which should bo odminou alike ta whig# and democrats.

Ye t you will find men who have proven false to the whig party wi,th-which they once acted, and secret-.lodges of know nothingismAtaurtling wh*gs for not following .them into these darlc.places. 1 ash you, can a whig join the know-nothing order-or connect himself with the black republican party with out repudiating all the principles -Whiclt the whig party, has advocated for years?

Do not these two facts shpw that the principle of the Nebraska bill was right ? Tho only difficulties that have occurred have arisen from the fact that tho opponents of tho meas ure were determined not to give the bill a fair chance. If you will examine Inlo these facts you will find that the allegations have not ono particle of ground on which to stand,. Our principles arc tho principles of the constitution ; they arc the principles of law and order, of peace and quiet. .Our remedy for exitsing evils in Kan sas is that the constitution and lows shall pre vail. .We arc tho advocates of the supremacy of the laws ; our opponents arc advocates of lawless violence and rebellion against tho con stituted authorities of the country. Oneoflly? great questions now to bo decided is, whether (he law shall prevail, or whether violence shall triumph ; and the decision of that question is involved iu (lie election which is now to take place. ;■ -jy regard to this present election, our cue ■ Jnics arc in the habit of asking tho question: I How can James Duchanan stand upon tho plat form which lias been made for us at Cincin nati ? I ask. and I do it with emphasis,how can James Duchanan. with his antecedents, stand on any other platform than Uw one made at Cincinnati? Our opponents have been in the habit of saying that they liavc made a Douglas platform, and then put Buchanan on it. I ask yon to examine this matter for a moment, and you will find that James Buchanan and myself occupy identically the same position, and have done sb for years, on this slavery question in all its phases. In 1810, when Mr. Wilmot. of Pcnnsylva nia. proposed the Wilmot proviso, I, then in the House of Representatives, proposed as a substitute to extend the Missouri lino to the Pacific ocean. You all remember that in Oc tober, 1817, James Buchanan wrote his cele brated “Harvest Home letter** lit Berks coun ty, and in that proposed to extend that lino to the Pacific ocean, ns tho dividing lino between slavery and freedom. Ho did not maintain then that the Missouri Compromise was foun ded on sound or wise principles'; but finding it on the statute book, rather than hazzard the peace and harmony of the country, ho was wil ling to close the controversy forever by exten ding it to tho Pacific, rather than to raise sec tional strife even to carry out a sound princi ple. Acting on that same theory, in August. 1818,1 proposed, in the Senate of tho United Stales, a law to extend the Missouri line to the Pacific ocean, iu the same senso and with tho same understanding, with which it was origi nally adopted. That proposition passed tjie .Senate, and was voted down in tho House of Representatives by northern men with frcc-soil and abolition proclivities. Had tho policy of Buchanan, as proposed la his “Harvest Homo letter," then prevailed—the same policy which I advocatcd’in tho law o! 1818—there would tmvo been on end of this sectional conrotvcrsy forcycr. Who is responsible for tho defeat of tho proposition to cxioml that lino to tho Paclllo ? Certainly not James Buchanan—certainly not myself—Certainly pot tho democratic parly. The mcii who were responsible, for that' were tho abolitionists, the free-BoUers, the present antUNebraska men of tbo Country.' • :Tlioy then told us that the Missouri law was anuifamoua measure ;.satd that if slavery was right op tho south side of the lino, it was right on tho north side. They said' }f it was' right to leave tho people to do as they please on tho south side of 8(5 30. it was right to grant them tho same privilege-north of 3u 30* They said they would agree to any measure but that in famous measure—the Missouri Compromise. ’AT.sarpo per anKum: By tho defeat of the extension of (lie Missouri Compromise line in 1818. as propped by ( Mr. , Buchanan in his Harvest Uomc kttir, ns pfo-* j posed by myself in die Senate r.f il.c United | States, Che country wasplunged Into a vrhntpool of dangers, of sectional ngitnliop and sectional .cofltrtvcrsy, which lasted from ISIK to 1850, ■sh4t thp,'fcsnU of the defeat to extend Missouri Comprn. by Mr. Buchanan and m hmrtJ'hyfniysrlf. , v , controversy had raged, (p. such best men in the. land ljcin. bled l^fhtjfjteaif - (he republic.

You will all remember with what shouts and rejoicings the passage of those-measures was received throughout the country'. You all rec ollect the great meeting you then held iicrc in composed, of whiga and' demo crats—Union men of all parties—who ap proved of the settlement which was made by those measures of that vexed question, and* now let mo remind you, my' frit-mis, thatnmung the protfdcst productions of that meeting here — in fact the chief orimpcnt of thdt meeting—is the letter of Janies Buchanan to the meeting congratulating the country upon the restora tion of pence by thc cslnblishmcntof the great .principles of the compromise measures of 1850. Thus we find that Mr. Buchanan was among the first to approve of those measures. lie had been for the Missouri line—so had I. Wo tried to carry it out, and Were voted down. Failing in that, wo took tho next hcalluCasurc, and suc ceeded in thntV and, fortunately for the country, that measure was a return to (ho fruo principles of the cmislitntlor. of the United .Stales, as the gvcat.-Wafidugl/jji;..
