llut, Jlr. President, hol.linjr, as I do,
that the np,lication of the People of Kan
sas for admission as a State lias hceii ma. to
in duo form that their appearance ut the
doors ofConuross, w ith a ( '(institution mid
Stuto Government is the lcL'al and concl.i
jiive evidenco of their application for ad
mission, I conclude that an allowiidle op
j.ortunitv is presented to admit them as a
State ; and it is to the alternatives thus
p resented that I wish to turn my thoughts
fir a few ininutes.
Mr. Harlan 1 rise to n question of or
der. It is very evident there is not n
quorum of Senators present, and I odjeet
to any Senators proceeding w ith the dis
cussion of quest ions involved in the dill
del'orn tho senate.
Mr. JSiyler I shall de done in a few
minutes.
The Trcsidinft Officer. (Mr. Slidell in
the chair.) It is tho impression of the
tlinir that the Senator from Pennsylvania
was allowed to proceed dy unanimous con
sent. Mr. Hitler I yielded the floor to the
Senator to explain, not to make, direc
tions. I have, the floor. I jot unanimous
consent and therefore 1 shall proceed.
Mr. Harlan Of course, then, 1 shall
, have no further odjeet ion.
Mr. liikflor I must de allowed to flat
ter myself with this interruption. 1 tako
it the Senator does not like my speech.
Mr. Harlan Allow me to explain. 1
suppose that the remarks of the honoradle
Senator, judging from their npplicadility,
would ho detter delivered to tho Senate
than to vacant seats.
. Mr. liinler I have no idea that I can
say anything that will influence tho gen
tlemen of tlioJSenate. They know ns much
about tho. sudjeet as do. Well, sir, I
have held that tho application is legal and
proper, and that I may vote for the ad
mission ot Kansas as a State, it 1 deem it
wiso to do so.
On the great question of admission or
rejection, I have reflected long and seri
ously, and am a firm believer in the poli
cy of admission. I think it best for Kan
sas, and for tho w hole family of States.
And I believe, in addition, sir, that so
soon a.s the popular mind is turned from
tho unpleasant strife in Kansns from
that wnr of crimination and recrimina
tion of ulleged fraud and usurpations on
the ono hand, and persistent rebellion and
violence on the other, to contemplate
nnd count tho consequences of admission
against those of rejection, the measure will
encounter much less opposition from the
people. hat great wrong can flow lrom
admission 1 What interest or right of the
people is to bi" damaged? Our ears are
daily nssaulte IJwith graphic descriptions of
.1 . . P r'
inegreai wrong oi mrcing a government
upon tlio people ot Kansas. et no one
proposes to uo tins. y e make no govern
ment for them. They make it for them
. Helves. If they do not like it, after they
get into the Union they can abolish it and
adopt-other forms. No power on the face
. of the earth, outside of the Territory, will
daro to dispute their right to do this.
That thero is nothing in tho Constitution
to interfere with this right for a single
clay, has been mado so clear by the Presi
dent, and by Senators, that I fchall not
discuss it again. It is a little singular,
however, that this allegation of the want
of power in the people, by virtue of their
"inalienable and indcfeasable r'mht" to al
ter, amend or supersede their form of
government at pleasure, should come lrom
tho advocates, par creell-ucc, of popular
sovereignty. Not only this particular,
but as lo tlio right of the people to make
a State Constitution through tho agency
of delegates, have these expounders (if
popular sovereignty sought to impose se
rious rest r'u t tons upon the rights of the
people. They would persuade the people
that they are on the side of popular rights,
whilst, in fact, their doctrines are the re
verse. But, sir, who ciin foretell the conse
quences of the rejection of the State?
How will the act bo intr rnreted by the
peojilo of the South? Will they believe
that it was the consequence of tho infor
malities or the want of popular sanction
of tho Constitution, or will they believe
that it was the consequence of nominal
slavery in the State, and that they are
bound to treat it as a practical and posi
tko evidenco that no more slave States
are to be admitted into tho Union ; that
ino taitn ot the compromises of IHjO is not
to bo carried out? It does not bocomo
me to say wiuit they should believe, or
- what they should do if they believe the
, worst. Ishoul.l, for one, hope for the
, .. best, and struggle to the end to maintain
i those fraternal relations between the
States under which we have so long grown
f . and prospered as a nation. The State I
represent will contend for rbe h,t rights

lorcibly remarked the other day by the
Senator from Louisiana, (.Mr. lienjamin,)
w hat possible wrong do we inflict on tlio
people of Kansas, by conferring upon them
t lie rights and dignities ot a sovereign
State? We hear much about forcing a
governr. cut upon Kansas ; whilst the
truth is, she hn.s propose. 1 to come in, and
Congress is about to accept her proposi -
tion. That is all. It is said, the Vmsti-
tut ion is not aceei.tatile to tlie will of the
majority. Well, sir, that is their business,
ii.ii inns. 1 1 iin-i mi inn iiro ineir iun -
dainental law, they can change it. Some

far lrom this, the question ol slavery, like,

every other feature of the instrument, will

cember last, it wasn question between ad
mission under the Lecoinpton Coiiititution
on the one haiid, ond enabling act on the
other. An enabling net for what? Why,
to enable the people to make a State gov
ernment to suit themselves the answer is,
why not do this under the auspices of a
State Constitution T I said then, as I say
now, the Constitution is the best enabling
act that the wit of man can devise. It has
all the good qualities of an enabling act,
without its bad ones. It would determi
nate, instead of extend the strife.
Then again, if ns alleged, the popular

vindication. It is under a State constitn-
tion that popular sovereignty is to have
unrestrained sway. It is in this wny that
it rises to tho complete majesty of ilspotv
er. Those claiming nnd having that pow
er can have no wll founded objection to
the remedy. Now, tho power of the peo
plo of Kansas is not equal to tho abolition
of slavery. Slaves ore now in that territo-
