'MT= PEOPLE OF ,:THE 131TITED OFATIM
It n meeting of members of Cdn
greAs who, opposed the passage of the
bill to orge.odie the Territories of Ne
braska and Kansas, held pursuant to
previous notice, in the city of Wash
ington, on the 20th day of June, 1854,
the Hon. Solomon Foot, of Vermont,
was called to the chair, and Daniel
Mace, of Indiana, and Reuben E.
Fenton.of New-York, were appointed
secretaries.
_ A committee, appointed for the pur
-, le, repotted an Address to the Peo
of the 'United States, Nyhich,haying
oeen discussed and amended, .was
unanimously adopted, and ordered to
be published. It was as follows :
TO THE rEQIILE or THE UNITED STATES.
The eighth section of the act for the
admission of Missouri into the Union,
known as the Missouri Compromise
Law, by which the introduction of
Slavery into the regions now known
as Kansas and Nebr•,iska.was forever
prohibited, has been repealed. That
law, which in 18.20 quieted a contro
versy which menaced the Union, and
upon which you have so long reposed,
is obliterated from the statute book:
We had no reason to expect any such
proposition when we assembled here
six months ago, nor did you expecfit.•
No State, no citizen of any State, had
demanded the repeal. It seems a duty
we owe to the country to state the
grounds upon which we have stead
fastly, though ineffectually, opposed
this alarming and dangerous act. You
need not be told that the Slavery
question lies at the bottom of it. As
it was the slaveholding power that
demanded the enactment of the Mis
souri Compromise, so-it is the same
power that has now demanded, its ab
rogation. African Slavery was re
garded and denounced as a great evil
by the American Colonies, even before
the Revolution; and those Colonies,
which are now slaveholding States,
were equally earnest in such remon
strances with those which are now free
States. Colonial laws, framed to pre
vent the increase of Slavery, were
vetoed by the King of Great Britain.
This exercise of arbitrary power, to
enlarge and perpetuate a system uni
versally regarded as equally wrongful
in itself and injurious to the Colonies,
was one of the causes of the Revolu-
Lion
When the war was ended, there was
an imperious necessity fir the institu
tion of Government in the then unoc
cupied territoriv6 tho United States.
In 17s I, Thomas Jefferson proposed,
end in 1757. the Continental Congress
adopted, the Ordinance for the GoVern
ment of the Territory lying northwest
of the Ohio, by which it was declared
that there shall be neither Slavery
nor involuntary servitude, except for
puni,b.nent of crime." The great
and flourishing States since organized
within that Territory, on the basis of
that - Ordinance, are enduring menu--
meets of the wisdom of the statesmen
of the Revolution. The foreign slave
trade was regarded as the source of
American Slavery, which, it was be
lieved, would he dried up when that
fountain should be closed. In adopt
ing the Constitution, it was so univer
rally anticipated that the foreign slave
trade would be promptly prohibited,
that all parties acquiesced in a stipu
lation postponing• that measure until
1805. In ISOS, the foreign slave trade
was prOhibited. Thus the source of
Slavery was understood to be dried
up, while the introduction of Slavery
into the Territories was prohibited.
The Slavery question, so far as it was
a national one, was understood to 'be
finally settled; and at the same time
the States had already taken up, and
were carrying forward, a system of
gradetal emancipation;
In 1803, Louisiana was acquired by
purchase from France, and included
what is now known as the States of
Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, and
lowa, and the Territories known as
'Kansas and Nebraska. Slavery ex
isted at the time in New-Orleans and
at St. Louis, and so this purchase
resulted in bringing the Slavery ques
lion again before Congress.
In 012, the region immediately sur
rounding New-Orleans applied for
admission into the Union, under the
name of the State of Louisiana, with
a Constitution tolerating Slavery. The
new State was admitted, and the free
States acquiesced. Eight years after
ward, the region connected with St.
Louis demanded admission, under the
name of the State of Missouri, with a
Constitution tolerating Slavery. The
free States reverted to the principle of
i,787, and opposed the admission of
Missouri, unless she would incorporate
into her Constktion an inhibition of
the further - introduction of Slavery
into the State. The slaveholding States
insisted upon her unqualified admis
sion. A controversy arose,which was
sectional and embittered, and which,
we arc assured by contemporaneous
history, seriously imperilled the Union.
The statesman of that day, in Con
greis, settled this controversy by corn- -
promise. Thefree States assented to the
admission of Missouri, with her slave
holding COnStitution,• while the slave
hullingStates, on their part, Yielded
tb tha . citOuSiOu "of slavery in all the
residue of the territory which lay
north 4 . -36 deg: 30 mini, constituting
the prvieht Territories of
Nebraska. eitiv . atoiaingStates .
ate„epteathis totnfirotttiie 6.9 a fritablili,
and the free- States, after alittle time,
acquiesced, and have ever since lcfrit
undisturbed and unquestioned.,
Arkansas; a'pait of the Teititiiiry of
Louisiaua, - which lay south" of 36 deg.
conipliatice With am
cation which . was contained in this
compromise, was afterward admitted
as'a slaveholdina . State, and the free
States acquiesced.
.In 1819; . Florida, a slaveholding
province of Spain, was acquired. This
province was afterwards admitted as a
slavelielding :State. The free . States
again acquiesced; InllBls,TexaS, an
independent slaveholding State, was
annexed, with a provision in .the
arti
cle of annexation fur the subdivision I
of her territoryintO five States.' The
free States,- although they. regarded
the annexation,. With the probable in
crease of the number of slave States,
with very great disfavor, nevertheless
acquiesced again.
New Territories were acquired by
the treaty of peace which closed, the
war with Mexico. The people of,
California formed a Constitution inhib
iting Slavery, and applied for admis
sion into the Union. :Violent opposi
tion was made by the slave States, in
and out of Congress, threatening the
dissolution of the Union if California
should be admitted. Proceeding on
the ground of theSe alarms,. Congress
adopted another compromise, the terms
of which were, that ten millions
. Of
dollars of the people's money should
be given to Texas, to induce her to
relinquish a very doubtful claim - upon
an inconsiderable part of New-Mexico;
that New-Mexico and Utah should be
organized without an inhibition of
Slavery, and that they should after
wards be admitted as slave or free
States, as the people, when forming
Constitutions, should determine; that
the public slave trade in the District
of Columbia should be abolished, with
out effecting the existence of Slavery
in the District; and that new and rig
orous provisions for the recaption of
fugitive slaves, of disputed constitu
tionality, should be adopted, and that
on these conditions California should
be admitted as a free State. Repug
nant as this compromise %vas to the
free StateS, acquiescence was never
theless practically obtained, by means
of solemn assurances, made on behalf
of the slaveholding States, that the
compromise was and should be forever
regarded as a final adjustment of the
Slavery question, and of all the issues
tehirb • - • aat ea . :,
A new Congress convened in De
cember, 1851. Representatives from
the slave States demanded a renewed
pledge of fidelity to this adjiistinent,
and it was granted by the House
of Representatives, in the following
terms:
Reza!red, That we recognize the binding
efficacy of the compromises of the Constitu
tion, and believe it to be the intention of the
people generally, as we hereby declare it to
be ours individually, to abide by such compro
miseg, and to sustain the laws necessary,to
carry them out—the previsions for the deliv
ery of fugitive slaves and the act of the last
Congress for that purpose included; and that
we deprecate all further agitation of questions
embraced in the acts of the- last Congress
known as the Compromise, and of questions
generally connected -With the institution of
slavery, as unnecessary, useless,. and danger
ous."
A few months subsequently, the
Democratic National Convention met
at Baltimore, and, assuming to speak
the sentiments of the Democratic
party, set forth in its platform—
" That the Democratic party will resist all
attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it,
the agitation of the slavery question, under
whatever shape or color the attempt may be
made."
Soon afterivards, another National
Convention assembled in the same city,
and, assuming the right to declare the
sentiments of the Whig party, said:
"We deprecate all further agitation of the
questions thus settled, as dangerous to- our
peace, and will discountenance all efforts to
continue or renew such agitation, whenever,
wherever, or however made."
- The present Administration was
elected on the principle of adherence
to this compromise, and the President,
referring to it in his inaugural speech,
declared that the harmony which had '
been sectu'ed by it should not be dis
turbed
duling his term of office. The
President, recurring to the same sub
ject, renewed his pledge in his mes
sage to Congress at the beginning:of
the present session, in the following .
language:
Notwithstanding the differences of opinion
and sentiment which then existed in relation
to details a -d specific provisions, the acqui
escence of distinguished citizens, whose de
votion to the Union can never be doubted,
has given renewed vigor to our institutions,
and restored a sense of repose and security to
the public mind throughout the confederacy.
That this repose is'to sutler no shock during
my official term, if I have the power . to avert
it, those who placed me here may be assured."
Linder these circumstances, the prop
osition to repeal the Missouri Com
promise was suddenly and unexpect
edly made by the same Committee on
Territories which, only ten days be
fore, had affirmed the sanctity of the
Missouri Compromise, and declared
the and of agitation in the following
explicit and unmistakable language:
"Your Committee do not feel themselves
called upon to enter into a discussion of those
con.roverted luostions. They involve the
same grave issues which produced the agita
tion, the sectional strife, and the fearful strug
gle of 1850. As Congress -deemed it wise

The abrogation has been effecteil iriptir
siinee'bf the demands of ilia'Adinitilit anon,
and by means of its influence on Congress:
In the House of Reprisentatives. that body .
which is more hamtediately, responsible , to the
people, the contest was mote equal than suing
Senate, though it is due to justice and 'candor
that it should be stated, that it could not have'
been carried in either House without this votes
of Representatives front the free' States.
The minority resisted the attempt to arrest
discussion upon the grave questibn, through a
struggle of longer duration than any' other
known to Congressional histor y . An attempt
' Was made to stigmatize that mmerity as "
fac
tionists ;" yet, We fearlessly declare that,
throughout the contest, they resorted solely to
the pOwers.sectired to them by the tau' and : : the
rules of the house; and the passage of the
measure through the House was effected only
through a snbversion of rules by the
ma
jority, and the exercise of a power unprece
dented in the annals of Congressional legis
lation.
The deed is done. It is done' with a clear
proclamation, by the Administration . and by
Congress, that the principle which itcontains
extends not only to Kansas and Nebraska, but'
to all other of the Territories now belonging to
the United States ; and to all which may here
after be acquired. It has been done unneces
sarily and wantonly, because there was no
pressure for the organization of Governments
in Kansas and Nebraska, neither of. which
Territories contained one lawful inhabitant
who was a citizen of the United States; and
because there was not only no danger of dis
union apprehended, but even no popular agi
tation. of the question of slavery. By this
reckless measure, the free states have lost all
the guarantees for freedom-in the Territories
contained in former compromises, while all
the states, both slave and free, have lost the
guarantees of harmony and union which those
•
compromises afforded.
It seems plain to us that, fatal as the measure
is in these aspects, it is only a cover for broader
propagandism for slavery in the future. The
object of the Administration, as we believe,
.and of many who represent the slave states,
is to prepare the way for annexing Cuba, at
whatever cost; and a like annexation of half a
dozen states of Mexico, to be admitted also as
slave states.
These acquisitions are to be made peaceably,
if they can be purchased at the cost of hun
dreds of millions; if they cannot be made
peacefully, then at the coat of war with Mexico,
and war with Spain, with England, and with
France, and at the cost of an alliance with
Russia scarcely less repugnant. Unmistaka
ble indications appear, also, of a purpose to
annex the eastern part of San Domingo, and
so to subjugate the whose Wand, restoring it
to the dominion of slavery. And this is to be
'folloWed by an alliance with Brazil, and the
extension of slavery in the valley of the
Amazon. It is for you to judge whether,
when slavery shall have made these additions
to the Cnited'States, it will not demand uncon
ditional submission on the part of the free
states, and, failing in that demand, attempt a
withdrawal of the. slave states, and the organ
ization of a separate Empiro in the central
region of the continent. From an act so un
just and wrongftil in itself, and fraught with
~--";,.:..... -- .c..—c.... 1, -- - re ..t- ... the
People. We appeal in no sectional spirit.
We appeal equally to the north and the south,
to the free states and the slaveholding states
themselves.
It is no time for exaggeration or for passion,
and we therefore speak calmly of the past, and
warn you, in sober seriousness, of the future.
It would not become us, nor is it necessary, to
suggest the measures which ought to be
adopted in this great exigency: For our
selves, we are ready to do all in our power to
restore'the Missouri Compromise and to exe
cute such further measures as you in your
wisdom shall comniand, and as may be ncces
nary for the recovery of the ground lost to
Freedom, and to prevent the further aggres
sions of .slavery. _ .
