GROWS SPEECH.
[tONCI-I'DRD FROM FIRST FAR E.J
midnight hour on the Ixuiks of Lake Luzerne
the liberties of thrir country, were, in the eyes
of all Europe, relwls against society, and lived
heretics, fanatics, and agitators ; ana in most
instances have fallen victims to the prevailing
prejudices and vices which thry combated. Vet
such are the retributions of Heaven on earth
that the crucificrs of the world's redeemers
have been forced to pay homage at their graves
when dead.
The President in his special message on Kan-.
•its, seems to havo imbibed the spirit, adopted
the tone, temper, and language of George 111.,
In his proclamations snd ofauifestoes against
tha American colonies. While thus imitating
his great prototype, let him take warning by
his example how ho forces a wronged and out
raged people to appeal to the god of battles
In vindication of their rights, utdoss he is am
bitions of being the Nero of the liberties of his
conntry.
In my judgment, the first gun fired by a
United States soldier in an attempt to force
this Lecompton fraud upon the people of Kan
sas, will light a flame that seas of blood may
not be able to extinguish. It will be but the
echo of the British irtuketry, in the streets of
Boston, on the 11#th of April, 1775. It would
be but another struggle in vindication of the
great truth of the Declaration of Independence
that all governments derive tljfir just powers
from the consent, of the governed.
From my personal acquaintance with the
frae-State men of Kansas, and what I know
of their character—these descendants of War
ren, Putnam, Green, and Wayne—when fori -
ad, in submitting to injustice and wrong, to a
point beyond which endurance ceases to be a
Virtue, will prove themselves no degenerate
aons of noble sires. Whenever any portion of
the American people shall become so callous
to a sense of justice, and so dead to the rights
which belong to freemen, as tamely to submit
to a usurpation, by fraud and violence, of all
the powers of their government, then, indeed
will they he fit for slaves.
Mr. Chairman, injustice, once enthroned in
power, ever strives, by every device of taunt
and jeer, to divert attention from its enoruii-;
ties, and to avoid, if possible, all discussion of
its abuses. The weapons of a self-satisfied
conservatism, employed since the world began :
to uphold its injustice and wrong, or to per
petuate its ill-gotten power, has been to excite
popular prejudice by crying " destructive," I
" agrarian," " leveler," " fanatic," or some oth- j
er epithet made odious by sceptered cruelty !
and wrong. Such have been the arguments !
of prejudice and power from the time Socrates
swallowed the homlock, and Galileo quivered
on the rack.
The history of to-day proves that power and
wrong have not ceased to rely for their sup
port npon attempts to excite the unworthy
prejudices of human nature by the clamor of
startling and odious epithets. By such means
does the President strive to gloss over the
blackest page of American history, written
within the last four years; by the administra
tion and its minions, in the woes of Kansas.—
Its soil is red with the blood of its murdered
citizens, and its atmosphere darkened with the
smoke of their burning dwellings, while women
and children flee to the savage tribes of the
wilderness to find protection against their less
merciful white pursuers. With the wrongs of
this people unredressed, and their supplications
for justice and the rights of freemen stil! ring
ing in the ears of the President, he declares
that " Kansas has, for some years, occupied
too much of the public attention. It i% high
time this should be directed to far more im
portant objects."
What more important object can this gov
ernment have than to guard the hearthstone
of the hardy pioneef as he goes forth into the
wilderness to found new States and build up
new empires * What higher duty has it to
perform than to seenre to the citizen—the hum-
Blest and most obscure, as well as to the high
est and most exalted—the rights guarantied
to him by the Constitution of his country ? In
Kansas, from the first, these have been tram
pled in the dust. Hence, Kansas has, forsotne
years, occupied the public attention. Is it
possible that the chief magistrate of the re
public can find any more important object for
the attention of the government than the pro
tection of the rights and liberties of American
citizens, ruthlessly violated under the flag of
their country, unless the nobler and Better im
putes of tinman nature expired in his bosom
as the last drop of democratic blood eo/.ed
from his veins ?
Kansas wants peace ; not the pence of ser
Tile submission to,brute force,but the pence that
jnstice ever brings. The country wants quiet
and repose ; not the quiet of the grave-yard
or the repose of death, but the quiet and re
pose secured by liberty, maintained by law.—
But so long as the power of this government
Is wielded to fasten an odious despotism upon
Kansas, and to propagate the institutions of
human bondage, so long there will and can be
no peace. You can give peace to Kansas, re
pose to the country—end forever this slavery
agitation—if you will bring back the govern
ment to the policy of the fathers, and re-estab
lish in its administration their maxims of jus
tice and humanity.

come a law. I shall be prepared with directions, blanks
