What benefit - will the,great body of the people of Kansas derive from these . agitations I They may for a•brief period, give consequence and . power to political leaders and agitators ; but it is at the expense of the happiness and wel fare of the great body of the people of this Territory. Those who oppose slavery in -Kansas do not base their opposition upon any philan thropic, principles, or any sympathy for the AtriCan race. For in their so-called4oifsti tution, framed at Topeka,.they des:test:bat en tire race so inferior and degraded, it - s: to ex clude them all forever from Kansas,` i•liether they. be bond or free, thus dekiviti7, them of nitsighte here, and denying even that' they can -he citizens of the .United States, for if they are citizens they could not be constitn ,flly exiled or excluded from Kansas. Yet such a'clause inserted. in the Topeka Consti tution, was submitted by that convention fur the vote of the people, and ratified here by an ovet whelming majority of the anti Slavery party: - The party here, therefore, has in the : most posithe manner, affirmed - the constitu tionality. of that portion of the recent decis ion of the Supreme Court of the -United State, declering that Africans are not citizens of the'Uniteil States. This is the more important, inasmuch as this Toneka Constitution was : . ratified with this clause inserted, by-the entire republican party in Congress, thus distinctly affirming the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the UnicM,:that Africans are not citizens of the United States, for if citizens, they may be -elected to all offices, State and 'National, in eluding the Presidency itself ; they must be placed upon a basis of perfect equality with the whites, serve with them in the malitia,e on the bench, the legislature, the jury box, vote in all elections, meet us in social inter course ; and intermarry freely with the whites. This doctrine of the perfect equali ty of the nhite with the black in all respects whatsoever, social and political, ideally fol lows from the position that Africans are citi zens of the Uitited States Nor is the Su aireme'Court of the Union less clearly ciodi 'eritecl by the position now assumed here by the published creed of this party, that •the people of Kansas, in forming their State Cepir stitution, (and not Cengiess) must decide this question of slavery for themselves. Hav ingli t us sustained the Court on both the controverted points, decided by that tribunal, it is hoped they will not approve the Untirch ical and revolutionary proceedings of other States, expunging the Supreme Court front our system by depriving it, of the great pow -1 er for which it was created, of expounding I the Constitution. If that be \done, we can Ihave, in fact, no unlit,: of gancerrienont, or fan datnental law; but just as many ever varying Constitutions as passions, prejudice and local ,'interests may, from time to t' ,e, prescribe iu the thirty-one States of e Union. I have endetOored ere e teflire faintly to foreshadow the . ,k - yronlet urprospetity, - which evould follow a6once in Kansas, the peace ful and Onal.settlerent of this question:. But if it should be in tle power of agitators to 1 ; prevent such a re.su , nothing but ruin will pervade our territory. Confidence will' expire ; and law and order will be subverted. An archy and civil War will be re-inaugurated among us. All property will, greatly depre ciate in value. Even the . est. faints will become almost worthless. ; Our towns and cities will sink into decay. Emigration into our territory wilreease. A mournful train (4'l 1 returning settleti with ruined hopes and] blasted fortunes, will leave our borders. All; 1 who have purchased property at present pri- 1 - ces %ill be sacrificed, and Kansas will be i e reark e d U s universe! ruin and desolation. . Nor will the thheliief be arrested here. It will extend into every other State. Despots - - i';.iil exult over the failure here of the great i een e ipt es pf ee l f g o% ertiment, and the ap proaching downfall of cur confederacy. The pillars of the Union will rock upon' their. base, and we may close the next presidential counter, amid the scattered- fragments of the Constitution of our once happy and united people. The Leiner of the stars and stripes, the emblem of our countrys glory, will be lent by contending factions. -We 'shall me longer have a country.

Any attempt of either to take from the legal cus tody of the officers of the other would be an unjustifiable exercise of power, and lead to the most deplorable consequences.
