Although we are yet, without particulars of the Treaties recently executed, by the Empe • ror of China, with the diplomatic representa tives of the United • States, Russia, France, and England, it Is evident that great conces sions have been made, which will, probably change the social condition of the Celestial Empire, ere many - years elapse. Hitherto, the Chinese system hari.heen wholly one of ex clusion: ,Erigland, as .a commercial nation, made many efforts, during the last seventy or eighty years, to put herself into friendly rela tions with Chine,"but it was impossible to achieve such a consummation". Trio special Ambassadori, surrounded with a groat deal of pomp and state, to'eaptivate the attention of the Chinese, failed to penetrate to the presence of:the Emperor—a thick lipped Tartar, who modestly, in all public . docuMents, pfeclaima himself to be cc Brother to tho Sun and Moon.' , In the first of these rosatoi, occupylittire years 17924, England was represented by the Earl of fdsoirtinsx ; in the other, in 1 ( 817, Lord Annzast represented the Prince Regent of England, and was summarily sent back, almost in limiqe, because he refused to sub mit to a ceremony called the Kotoo, which he considered would have placed the sovereign whom he represented in a degrading position —vastly inferior, in fact, to the monarch whom he was to see. For the diplomatic principle is, that the Ambassador, represent ing a ruler or a State, is actually, in that capa city, the equal of the monarch to whom be is accredited as the - atter ego of his own master. At St. Helena, after the failure of Lord An mission, a , strong opinion was ex pressed by NAPOLEON - that Lord AMHERST should have submitted to the Kotoo, or any more degrading ceremonial, in order to estab lish the' personal communication with the Em peror of China, for which he had taken a long voyage., Of course, NAPOLEON'S view was to get the wedge in, and then extend the open ing. The Chinese Ceremonials so rigidly in sisted upon were, doubtlesi, intended to pre-' vent anything of this description. Ever since Europeans have had any inter course with the Chinese, ono thing has been very apparent—that they were not desirous of foreign commerce.' Their country is so large, '(having an area of over 6,000,000 square miles,) that it produces, in its own limits, every necessity of life, and indeed almost every, luxury also.. In this respect, it greatly resembles the United States, in which are all 'varieties of - climate;* soil, produce—so com-* pletely so, indeed, that we could live hap pily, comfortably, and even luxuriantly, on our own resources, natural and me chanical, without being , in the slightest degree dependant upon foreign supplies. It should • be borne in mind, too, that the great great population of China induces the most re markable industry. A country in which there are nearly 860,900,000 mouths to feed, every day, assuredly requires much industry to ob tain food, clothing, and habitations. Of course, the cities are thickly inhabited :—Pekin is es timated to have a population of 1,600,000 ; Canton has 1,000,000; Chang-chow, 800,000; Teen-fain and Soot-chop 700,000 each, while six 'other cities have from 400,000 to 600,000 each. In fact, China is most densely peopled. As Russia in- Asia - almost wholly forms the northern boundary of China, there has been some intercourse between the Musco vites and the Chinese, from a period long past accurate rebfroning.- -, Thero - brui'been - some trading between thetwo peoples, from time immemorial, and, of late years, even a Rus sian agent or diplomatisthaa occasionally been allowed to reside in Pekin, and have some sort of semi-official intercourse, if not influence, with the ruling authorities in that capital, who act under instructions personally communi cated by,the Emperor. Next to Russia, the United States stand in public estimation in China. The natives, though singularly behind the civilized world in then,- points, are not de ficient in natural shrewdness, and discovered, long ago, that .whatever the European, and more particularly .the English principle and practice of foreign conquest and annexation, American policy sternly opposed all Injustice 'of this sort. It is significant of the Chinese feeling towards the Russians and ourselves, that when the Emperor recently was com pelled to execute a treaty with France and England, he previously and voluntarily signed treaties, 'nearly similar in all points, with Russia and the United States. Five centuries ago, China was "the far Cathay" of lif.latco Pox; and the other ad venturous travellers sent out by the proud re public -of Venice to view and report upon remote countries. Mimeo POLE'S descrip tions of China and her people read at the present day as precisely correct, so slightly has change affected them. The only class of Europeans who really penetrated into all parts of the Chinese Empire. were the Catholic Mint:merles, sent out by the Jesuits, to intro duce Christianity, from France, Portugal, and Italy. They had considerable influence, and some power, in China for an extended period, but persecution finally thinned their numbers by martyrdom, and 'drove them out of the country. It is singular enough that to one of this class, at once enterprising, self-devoted, and religious, we aro indebted for by far the best modern account of China. We al lude to M. Huo, whose "Journey through the Chinese Empire" was published, some two or three years ago, -by the HARPERS of New York, and gives an interior view of China and its population, as entertaining as a romance, and as reliable as if the narrative had been delivered as an affidavit. 'The commercial relations between England and China can scarcely be said to have pro perly commenced before the establishment of the East India Company, in the reign of Queen ELIZABETH. At first, the trade was chiefly limited to the purchase of silk, largely pro duced in China, but within the last 130 years the English consumption of tea has been very great. At present, and for a long time past, the exportation of silk and tea from China has been principally engrossed by the English and the Americans. The Cyclopedia of Com merce supplies, some interesting statistics on this head,Jrom which we learn that in 1856, as many as 91,085,000 pounds of tea,were ex-' ported from - China , to the United Kingdom, and. also; in j 866, as many - as 40,246,000 pounds to thi3' United States, and that, "since 1849, only seven years ago, the ' quantify of tea exported from China to the United King dom and the --United States, has increased from 65,814,000 lbs. to 181',280,000 lbs. Since 1852, the increase has been from 99,471,000 lbs. to 181,280,000 lbs." The increase in the exportation of Chinese silk has been equally marked. - • We have to notice, as a proof of thii general ignorance about China—from the jealous In disposition of 'the inhabitants and authors towards foreigners, alias ci outside barba- rians,"— i ithat the books describing that vast Empire are few and generally unsatisfactory. Foremoiit in reliability and interch is M. litla'a work, above mentioned.

There are some minor publications, of which Lord JOIJELTN'S "Six - Months with the Chi nese Expedition,"' in 1841, is satisfactory, As far as describing Canton and the neighborhood with spirit and fidelity. In a new work, just published by the Ap- PLETONS at New York, and called • ct Prom* New York to Delhi," we have unexpectedly found some chapters relative to China which make us lament that the same able pen did, not give us more on the same 'subject. Mr:' ROBEILT B. Mrtcruntr, Junior, went to Delhi,' via Rio do Janeiro, (which he visited in Janu ary, 1856,) Australia, and China. The whole book is full of' interest, but we have here to notice only what Mr. MINTUEN says about China. He made a six months' tour in India,' just before the outtoreak of the recent mutiny,' which he considers now as nearly suppreaSed, and the result of his observation in Hindosl tan is a more favorable opinion than generally pilavailit, - of the policy and Administration , of, thißast India Company, whose existence, as a sovereign power, terminited on the first of this month. Mr. MINTURN went from Sydney, in Australia to Bhanghae,-in China, in sixty days, arriving; and of Tune, 1856. There he found the American Episcopal Mission', anti also the Roman Catholic mission flourlibing,: and several American firms doing a large bust-' ness. He says that the cities in ,the north a t China are accessible to foreigners, who, are,, seldom annoyed by the Chinese ; this is mark -!1 ed contrast with Canton, where there is an an-, tipatby to foreigners. After a short stay at Shanghae, Mr. McNrunN took an eight-days': , trip up the canals, and found many villages, scattered over the country, which was kept in; a fine state of cultivation, 'irrigation being largely employed. From Shanghae, Mr. Mut-. TURN passed down south, to Canton, via Hemp Bong, the English settlement. At Canton he remarked that ,‘ no strangers are allowed the walls, though a free ingress is secured: by treat?P' Indeed, this is one of the things which make us less sanguine than many, others about the results to be derived from the! new treaties. The Chinese consent to thernif under pressure, but are clover at evading them.: Opium-smoking, rat-grills, dog-stew, and other dainftes, are noticed by Mr. MnSToRN., His impression of the Chinese is not very fit- , vorable, but he evidently thinks them more ; civilized, and certainly more humane, than is, generally supposed. He describes an t , lnsti-: tute of Universal Benevolence," founded 'at' Shanghae, by private charity, over a century, ago, at which anyToor man may receive gra.' tuitous medical advice, legal , assistance, or relief in the shape of food, clothing, and ; money. He adds, "Benevolence is one of the most attractive features of the Chinese character, and one that our preconceived ideati find it bard to reconcile with infanticide and other Cruelties which disgrace this and all heathens." He tells us, further, a that edt; catod Chinese have no religion, and the loWer classes just as much as they find convenient."; fter three weeks' residence in or near Canton, Mr. MINTuRN left for Calcutta, where; we now leave him.

" To I received your letter dated Canan daigua. May 6. 1868. I will give you a idled *ketch of my history: I was born in Whlttingbam, Windham county, Vermont, June 1,1801. My father and family removed to Smyrna, Ohenango county, New York, when I was about eighteen menthe old. We lived in that place until 1818 Shortly after the commencement of the late war with Groat Britain, my father and hie family removed to the town of Genoa. Cams county, New York, in whioh county I lived until 1829. I then. moved to Mendon, Monroe county, and in 1880 removed from thence to No. 9 Canandaigua, into a small house owned by Jonathan situated on the west side of the road, opposite to where Mr. Mack then lived. I helped to finish his new house, so that he moved into it before I loft the place. (I I left Canandaigua In the first past of 1832. and re, turned to Menden, April 14. same year. I wee baptized into the Church of Jessie Christ of Latter Day Saints. I did not live in any other house during my residence in Canandaigua than the one before mentioned. I never yaw Sena Goff to my knowledge I never held meet loge in parteerehip with any person, nor ever preached or pretended to. while I:lived in the town of Canandai gua, nor ever spoke in meeting. except once in a prayer meeting In the house I lived in, when probably I occu pied from two to five miontes. There is a ponnibilityot my having spoken in prayer meeting at other times, hut I have no recollection of it. If I had, I think I would have remembered it, for I found myself material/ frightened when I found myself in the meeting I have mentioned. After I had joined the church, I became somewhat accustomed to public epeakiog Once, in peeling through No. 9. I stopped and preached in the aohool-house north of Mr. Macke. "I have thusjar marked out my path with come rar ticularity. Since then, the events of my life are before the world. I will, however, state. that after my re turn to Mendon I removed to Kirtland, Ohio. from thence to Forwent. Mo., from thence to Mauve°, 111., and from thence to the monotainm. " There , are ftve brothers of us, In the following or der: John, Joseph, Phineas 11.. mveelf, and Lorenzo D. The two former never lived in No. 9.

KNOX, 'DELIVERED AT COCTIRANVILI;E, AT FOUR O'CLOCK WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPT. 15ra, 1858; On snaking his-,appearance, Judge Knox was greeted with hearty applause. He said: FRLLOW-CITIZENS : It is some years since I have addressed a meeting on political topics, but I re joice that lam able here this day:Jo sneak in be hilf of a great principle,'and in favor of one of its noblest advocates. [Applause.] ' If this were merely a local contest, or the issue were simply a personal ono, I should not, as I am not a resident of this. Congressional district; have deemed it proper to' take any part in it. But the issne is not a local Ora personal one. The principle involved is as broad as humanity itself; and the fame and reputation of your candidate for Congress, John Hickman, is dear to every true. henrted Pennsylvanian. A deep interest is felt everywhere in his success. Those who have *etched his course in Congress are satisfied that he is an honest, honorable, and intrepid publiO servant, that ho stands up for the rights of the people, regardless of consequences; and this being so, as men desirous of doing their full duty, it is for you of this Congressional district to stand by, him. [Applause.] The question that has oeoupied more of the pub lie attention, for the past few years. than any other, perhaps, is that which by the Republicans is called the slavery question ; by the Lecompton-' ites, the " settled question ; " but which I choose to treat as the Territorial question. It is a ques tion of vast importance to the people of this eettntrv. It is not a new question, but in older than the ctovernment—" as anoient. as free go vernment itself." It attracted the attention of the Congress of the United States before the formation of the Constitution. At the time of the Revolution there was a large body of unsettled lands claimed by' several of the States. It was alleged by the States that, although those lands were not within their boun arias, yet they were included in their charters. They claimed to have succeeded to the rights of the crown. On the other hand, it was , stated that. ai the struggle for iffitepondence was a common one, therefore the lands in truth belonged to all in common, and wore the property of the con federated Government. Congress at an early day passed a resolution requesting a cession of the lands in controversy to the Confederation. Thp torsion commenced prior to the close of the neve -lotion. In 1781 New York ceded her lands. New 'Yerlt was the first, and Georgia the last, her (les eion taking place in 1802. In 1784, the difficulty of governing these Terri tories began to excite general attention. A com mittee of Congress was raised in 1784 on the slab jeet; of which Thomas Jefferson Was chairman. Mr. Jefferson reported a, temporary plan for the government of the Territories, and that plan em braced the celebrated Jeffersonian ordinance, which *I ! have not time now to read in full. It provided that after the year 1800 there should be neither ,slavery nor involuntary servitude, except of those dilly-convicted of crime, in any of the States to bo formed out of the territory which had been ceded by the States to the General Government. The plan also bad reference to territory whichnsight there , after be ceded. - A ,motion wee made to strike out the pro viso from - Mr. Jefferson's report. Under the old 'Confederation it required a majority of the origi 'hal thirteen States to admit any measure or any pert of a proposition. - The question was taken, six States voting for the proposition as reported, - andtwo against it; and, as six was not a majority of the thirteen States, it was stricken out. Mr. Jefferson of course voted in Congress to retain the proviso, but his colleagues from Virginia over fated him. In 1787, an amended ordinance was :Tinned for the government of the Territories, and In that amended ordinance there was a prohibition -of, slavety,in the Territories. The same year the Constitution was formed, and submitted to the States for adoption. At tho time the Constitution wee famed, Congress had provided for the govern- Ment. of the Territories then owned by the Union, as well as for those which should thereafter be ceded to it. Hence there was not that precaution in providing for the govern .'sent of the Territories which subsequent• events Ihkie shown to be necessary. The Constitution, 'however, does provide that "Congress shall have power to dtapose of, and make all needful rules and regulations respecting, the territory or other ;property belonging to the United States ;" Sad when it is remembered that the acts of the Stales ceding the territories to the Union: several of which :iiteeeded the formation of the Constitution, ex reedy ceded the jurisdiction as well as the soil, -bud that Congress had already exercised jurisdie- Ven over the territory, the apparent necessity of continuing that jurisdiction, the absence of any 'provision conferring jurisdiction upon any ether power. or making• provision in any -tither way for the government of the Territories. jbe .presumption is strong, if not conclusive, Oat the framers of the Constitution intended to 113anfer upon Congress the general and unqualified power- to govern the Territories, in the grant to Irreeke all needful rules and regulations respecting Abe territory or other property belonging to the 411 silted States; and eo it was understood by the dictlx_ettiteemen of this Union, without, perhaps, i-dingle tieription- 7 -in' proof _of_whish may be rifted the repeated inetanoes of ingtruatioWliy - u'on4 gress for, the government of the Territories. coin. Menoing with the first Congress under the Consti tution, and continuing for a long Helen of years. But soon new Territories were acquired. Under the Administration of Mr.-Jefferson, in 1803, Loui siana was purchased, and. In 1810 Florida was also purchased. At the line oT the puroh ass slavery was in existence in both Louisiana and Florida, and it was allowed to rennin there, and nearly all of the States formed out of those Territories were admit ted into the Union as slave States. Bat in 1810 Missouri applied for admission, or rather applied for leave to form a Constitution preparatory to ad ' mission. In that day, as many of the elderly gen 'lateen I see before me will remember, there was an exciting contest as to whether Missouri should or should not be admitted as a slave State. A . proposition was made in gongrem to prohibit tSe; further Introduction of slaves into Missouri, and to provide for the gradual emancipation of those al. ready there. This met with strenuous opposition. The amendment passed in the House of Representa tives. but was defeated in the Senate, and the bill fell for that year. In 1820 the proposition for admission was re newed. and resulted in the passage of a bill au thorizing the people of Missouri to forte a State Government, the bill containing a provision fa miliarly known as the Missouri Compromise That compromise, as you will recollect, was this : Congress consented to admit Missouri as a State into the Union without any restriction in refer ence to slavery, but it put upon record a solemn agreement between all parlor,. that for all time to cowl slavery should be inhibited in that part of the Louisiana purohnso lying north of the lino of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes north latitude Per a while this appeared to sottle'the question. From 1824 down to 1846 there was little or no difficulty on the question of the government of the Territories or the existence) or non-existence of slavery therein. -In 184 G wo were engaged in a war with Mexico. President Polk asked for an appropriation from Congees, the object of which was to conclude a treaty of pence. Hie diet pro position was that Congress should appropriate two millions to ho used in the negotiation of a peace with Mexico. It was known that that treaty of pence would bring us additional territory. That was well understood by every attentive observer of passing events. When the bill was offered Mr. Wilmot, a member from the Bradford district, in this State, moved a proviso that,liin the territory which might be purchased there should be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except on eon illation for crime. This, in terms, was very simi lar to the Jeffersonian ordinance. The proviso passed the House by a large vote, and went to the Senate. It was tho evening that olosod the session. A member took the floor and occupied the time, preventing the transaction of business up to the hour of adjournment. In 1847, a bill for $3,000,000 was submitted, and the pro viso was again offered. It again passed the House. The Senate refused to accede to it. The bill, as it came from the Senate without the proviso, was adopted in the Rouse by a very small majority. The treaty of pesos was * concluded, and a large amount of territory was acquired from Mexico. It settled rapidly. California soon had a large popu lation, owing to the discovery of gold within her limits, and in a short time the question came up on her admission as a free State. Her Con stitution prohibited slavery. Utah and New Mexico asked for Territorial Governments The question of the fugitive-slaVe law was also agi tated. After considerable excitement in 1850, the Compromise measures were passed. They con sisted in ~the establishment of a boundary line for Texas, thla admission of California into the Union es a free State, the establishment of Territorial Governments for Utah and Now Mexico, without the slavery restriction, the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia, and the fugitive-slave law. It was obvious that Congress bad ',hanged its policy, which formerly wee to restrict slavery. In 1850, they determined, and, in my judgment, wisely determined, to leave the question of domes tic institutions to be settled by the people of the Territories. The country generally acqui esced in that settlement. In 1852, both of the groat political parties of the Union mot in general convention, and both passed resolu tions adopting the Compromise measures as a finality on the slavery question. The country was again quieted on the agitating slavery question. The peace, however, was of brief duration. In 1853, the people of Nebraska, petitioned for a Ter ritorial Government. A bill for that purpose was reported, and passed the House of Representatives, but it was laid upon the table in the Senate. In that bill nothing was said about the Missouri Com promise, and I think it was unfortunate that it did apt become a law. In 18.54, the proposition was renewed, and after some hesitation the chair man of the Committee on the Territories, Senator Douglas, reported a bill providing for the go vernment of the Territories of Kansas and Ne braska, and, at the same time, for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. This' was but four short years ago. You remember the profound feeling it exalted all over the country. After a fierce conflict the bill paused into a law. And bore, gentlemen. I cannot refrain from saying, Mot t in my judgment, this repeal. was an unwise proceeding. That was an ancient and time-honored compromise. It had remained upon the statute-book for thirty-four years, with the ap proval of mon of'all shades of politics. It had brought peace to the country, and produced the so much desired harmony between the two motions of the country on the slavery question. It was unwise in my judgment, I say, to disturb that compromise. But I must not he understood as opposed to the principle of popular sovereignty which animates the Nebraska-Kansas bill. I be lieve that it is correct and safe, and that wherever it is necessary to sot, the people of the Territories should be allowed to settle their own domestic institutions for themselves. I would have this principle, however, to settle questions, and not create new difficulties. Now that it has boon erected upon the repeal of the Ano mie Compromise, now that it has received the sanction of Congress, of the Executive and of the people generally, I would insist that it should rigidly and religiously be adhered to. I have far greater rasped for those who favcired the repeal pf the Missouri Cotproinise, and who have shown by their subsequent conduct that they re ally meant what they said, when they declared that their objeot was to leave the _people perfectly free to form their own domestio institutions in their own way, than I have for the men who opposed the repeal, but have since endeavored. to force a Constitution upon, the people of Kansas against their will. To resume :* After the passage of the Kansas. Nebraska bill. A. H. Reeder, of our own State, - was appointed Governor of the former Territory. He wan a member of the Democratic, party, and one of the etriotest of the east. He went to Kan sas to nut the new Government into operation upon the principle which had been inaugurated in the reoent legislation. - He took the necessary steps for the election of a Legislative Assembly. An election was held. But, fallow-citizens, what an eieotion !' It wise not an election of the people of Kansas—not an election In the spirit of the -Kansas bill. No ! On the con- . . . . . . trary, it was an election by the people of a foreign jurisdiction—the people of Missouri—and an elec tion in defiance of all law and all decency. The people of Missouri crossed the border, seised the ballot-boxes, and elected a Legislature of themselves, and then returned to their homes. Governor Reeder, as in duty bound, set aside these fraudulent returns wherever objeotions were duly made and proved ; but in the case of several members thus elebted, no specifications were filed with the Governor, and, of course, he could not sot. The Legislative Assembly con vened, and their first art was to declare null and void that which the Governor had done., They de clared that the members rejected by him wore duly entitled to their seats. Then they began to legislate. But what legislation did they give Kan sas? One thing only was doubtful, and that was which was the most to be condemned—the manner in which the Legislature was put in power, or the ants they passed when they had commenced legis lation? Both were as bad as bad could be. In 1856, another Legislature was elected. In the mean time, Governor Reader had been removed, and Governor Shannon hail superseded: him. Anarchy and confusion, with frequent scenes of bloodshed, continued to prevail in the Territory. Tho Second Legislature was elected in the same manner as the first one. That Legislature, called a Conventiois for the purpose of framing a Constitution of State Govern ment. In the meanwhile there had been another change of Governor. Shannon bad been superseded by Geary, who, during the brief period of his Ex ecutive term, performed his duty like an honest man. He was Governor when the Convention was called. He vetoed the bill calling the Conven tion, but it was passed over hie head by a two thirds vote. The free-State men refused to vote for delegates. They said, "we do not recognise your authority ; you are not our representatives; we did not elect you—you were elected by the people of another State; you have already usurped the powers and forms of law. Now you call a Con vention to form a State Constitution. That. Co nstitution is to govern us for all time, and we re fuse to recognise your authority. We refuse to take part in this election." Or course, pro-slavery delegates were elected. They assembled. Geary had been superseded as Governor by Robert J. Walker, a man of the highest repute- Con and standing. He had tried to indite° the people to vote, but in a large number of counties there was no provisien made for a vote. He said "I pledge myself that whatever Constitution is framed shall be submitted to the ratification or re jection of the - people. For this. I have the au thority of the President and his Cabinet." They rested under that pledge—for whatever the Con vention did, if it wore not acceptable to them, they could reject it. Before the Convention closed its labors a change had come ever Kansas affairs. The Convention had assembled in September 1857. In October of the same year there - was to be an election for a new Legislature. The Convention adjourned over until after the election. The free- State men at that election went to the polls and elected their delegate to Congress by a largo majori ty, and, although frauds the most glaring and ex tensive were perpetrated, the Legislative Assembly, was almost unanimously free State. You can never forget the Oxford and McGhee and Rieke poo frauds. Thousands of pro-slavery votes wore returned from places where even now the population can only be counted by tens. Governor Walker, who, I believe, is a thoroughly.honest man, satisfied him- , self of these frauds. He took pains to ferret them out. He denied certificates to those , who , pro fessed to be elected with those votes. A. hue and cry was commenced against him from the Southern States for this act of honesty and fair dealing. Southern Conventions passed resolutions demand-, ing his removal. The Governer stood nobly by the position he had atsumed. The Constitutional Con vention reassembled and completed its work. ..It framed a Constitution. Bat instead of fulfilling the promise which had been made, the Canyon.' tion refused to submit the Constitution fully and freely to the people for their rejeotion or approval There woe no submission in foot. -The vote was to be. For the Constitution with slavery, and For the Constitution withoUt slavery. No vote could he given against 'the Constitution, and in' that Constitution was embraced a 'clause that the , Slaves then In the Territory should continue" to remain slaves, no matter what the vote should, be. Slavery...was not prohibited in any event. There was also a Invite= in it as monstrous no any which - ever disgraiied a statute-Look.'' starts ant with the declaration that the right of, property is before mid higher than all Constitu tions, and that the right to hold slaves is as snored' as the right to hold any other property. That is a provision which, if true, would at onto convert' all the States of this Union into slave States. If it be true, - then there is nothing to prevent the owners of slaves from bringing their property, into the State of Pennsylvania and holding it here. But it is untrue. It is founded neither in law nor in justice. - It is contrary to the first principles of humanity, and contrary to the recog nised code of the civilised world. Now, fellow-citizens, we have reached the point when the question on ihe Constitution was brought immediately to the attention of o:ingress. A re turn wee made to Washington that 6,225 of the people of 'Kansas had voted in favor of the Consti teflon With slavery, 609 only voting in favor of the Constitution without slavery. Oxford; Shawnee, and Kickapoo gave enormous votes. How many thousand fraudulent votes were then given in those three places (and they were not the only ones) may be mean by a comparison of their votes then and their vote on the English contrivance. No man denies the fraud. Even Calhoun - himself, with all• his audacity, must admit it. The Constitution was sent by tho President to the House of Representatives, with a message strongly recommending its adoption by Congress - Adhe sion to it was made a test of Democracy by Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet. Every Democrat who refused to neknowledgeLecompten was denounced as falso to the Demooratle party. EveryDemoorat, every American—every man, of whatever party, who did support it—never mind what were his ante cedents, provided only he would shout hosannas to Lecompton, was admitted into full communion with the faithful and exalted as superfine Demo crats. No latitude of opinion whatever was al lowed. Toolaim for the people the right to vote uPon their Constitution was denounced as opposi tion to Mr. Buohanan's Administration, and as treason to the Demooratie faith. Even the Clover- ner of the Commonwealth, who hail long been the personal and political friend of Mr. Buchanan, and who had °matted no inconsiderable influence in hie nomination and election, was declared an ene my, because in his Inaugural Address be asserted the unqualified right of the . people of a Territory to vote upon their Constitution if they desired it. Life-long friends were treated as opponents, and to old and bitter 'Arsenal and political foes was given unlimited confidence upon this issue. Secretary Stanton, then acting Governor, con vened the Legislative Assembly of Kansas in ex tra session, that tile people of the Territory might be heard. This he did at the loud appeal of the people. They desired that their voice of opposi tion should be hoard, and for doing this not the President removed Mr. Stanton. He had gone to the Territory at considerable sacrifice, and atithe earnest and express desire of the President. The Legislature assembled, and they °ailed for a direct vote of the people on the Constitution. They ,passed resolutions by AIUNANIEOUS VOTE! solemnly protesting against the adoption by Congress of the Lecompton Constitution. They declared that no Government could over be organised under it. A vote was taken, and by more than ten thousand majority the people declared their hostility to that Constitution, Yet, the work went en of forcing it through Congress. A few gallant and justice-loving spirits of the Democratic party stood out manfully and decidedly in opposition to the outrage that was attempted to be put upon a protesting people. There was the "Giant of the West. " He proclaimed that that was not the popular sovereignty which he meant in the Kansas bill, and for which ho had Contended before the country. [Applause.] There, too, was Broderick, of California. lie raised his voice in indignant denunciation of the wrong. (Renewed applause.] These, and the aecompli.heil Senator from Michigan, stood together with the Republi cans and Crittenden and Bell In unwavering op position. (Great applause ] .In the Pennsylvania delegation in the House, six Democratic members took ground against the Lecompton Constitution ; but, one by one, they fell off until only three were left—and, follow-citizens, l am proud to say to you that of that number was John Hickman, your own Representative. (Long-continued cheering ] Throughout that struggle, when others wore doubt ed, when it was darkly insinuated that this man would go and that man would go, n%man ever said that Jno. Hickman would ever he brought to elating° front. His position the country knew, and none doubted but that it would be held with a steady en ergy to the end. And so it was held. - (Applause.] Ho has stood by you unflinchingly. Power and patronage could not seduce him from the right. As he has stood by you, you must stand by him. You want a man to stand true to principle and his pledges, despite the efforts made by ofloials td dis honor him and to crush him down, and such a man is John Hickman. (Applause For myself, give me the man who will weigh well his duty, and then go to its discharge fearlessly. It may be attempted to read such a man out of the party. He may be called a traitor, but hard names do not avail any thing. There is his record. It speaks unanswer ably. In what was he recreant? Did he not declare to the people, previous to his elee- Dun in 1856, that he was in favor of the people of Kansas forming for themselves their do mestic institutions in their own way ? Has he not, by voice and vote, fulfilled that pledge? Has he not, in every sense, been a faithful and able Representative ? Who is there that has been more faithful and more able? Yon ought to be proud that yen live in a district re presented by so good a man. (Applause ] In making a change you should take care you do not make a change for the worse—you cannot change for the better. (We are going to re-elect Hick man! He ie our man.] Fellow-citizens : This contest went en. Govern or Wise, of Virginia, sent up his voice from the capital, at Richmond, in tones Lof thrilling elo quence, against the outrage attempted upon the people of Kansas. Though a Southern man, and wedded to Southern institutions, be bad tho hon esty to declare that if he were in Congress he would vote against Lecompton. It was monstrous, ho said, because it was an attempt to force upon which they loudly the people ameastire, against protested. Anal= man, upon whom the ViliKiiVitSe has TWO CENTS. been heaped by 'the minions of "power, and who had as much ormorn to do'with the election of Mr. Buchanan'thap any living man,. from _the' first in dication that an, effort was. about to be made to pervert and destroy ttte=p . opillar will in 'Kansas, fearleady, tibly, - and persistently gave his -voice and his pen to the denunciation of the contempla ted outrage, and its perpetrators. I refer, gentle; mite, to my friend John W. Forney, (and I am proud to call him such,) the -gallant-editor of The Press. [Long-continued applause .• The bill passed the Senate and went to the House. By a majority of one it waireferted to "e Select committee to make investigation. whether the Lecompton Constitution did express - the willof the people of Kansas. In defiance of parliamen tary practice, and contrary to the dictates of fair dealing, the speaker appointed a majority of the committee of those who had voted against the in.: vestigation, and of course, the result, whether in tended or not, was that all investigation -on the subject was stifled. But the bill was. amended in the House. A substitute was sent to the Senate embracing' what is known as the Crittenden- Montgomery amendment. The effect of that amendment was to refer the. Constitution to the people of Kansas If they 'adopted - it, then it was to stand, but if they rejected it. then a new Convention was to .bo called, and another Con stitution to be framed. That certainly was a fair proposition and there, should have been no - objeo- Con to it (rein any quarter. But there was objec tion. It did not suit the I l ecomptonites ; and the Senate refused to agree to it. The House insisted, and a committee of conference was appointed. Then wait bora the Boglish bill. State, its -prey'. &ions, and its iniquity is palpable to the most un thinking intellect. What Is it? If the people would agree to come in under Leoomptifin they should have a large amount of the_pnblioland but if they refused Leoompton, then they should get neither land nor State Government. The land ordinance only was submitted to 'them di reotly, and a rejection of that ordinance was to keep them out of the Union until they reached a population in numbers suilloiento, to entitle them to one' ' 'Representative which now is something over 00,000, and before they, can reach that the ratio will be 120,000 'under -• the census of 1880. It had an enabling Clause allow. ing.them to make a Constitution at a certain time, and it had a disabling clause, saying that they shall not apply for admission into the Union as a State until a certain, or rather an uncertain, time. So long as there was a chance to force Kan sas. into • the Union as a slave State, her population was enough; but not so when it be came certain that the people _would not have the institution. Then the rule must be rigid. If the people of Kansas would adopt the land ordinance, then they could come in with Lecompton, with all its imperfections upon its bead. No question will then be made as to the number of population. But if they reject the ordinance; and refuse Lecompten, which does not express their will, then 120,000' must be their population before they can come into the Union. The recent vote in Kansas shows that the peo ple of that Territory are true men, and meant what they have all along said to - the country. This ordinance was submitted to them, and by a majority of - nearly ten thousand - they said, " No; we will net - take your land; we will not take your Constitution.' , Lecompten - waa dead. It died as it had lived, with the brand upon its brow of the popular dislike It was killed, and killed by the people whose will it pretended to • express. [Applause._ Now, fellow-citizens, suppose it was attempted to change the Constitution of Pennsylvania, that organic instrument which le the foundation of all your laws, and which must of necessity emanate from the people, or remain worthless ;--suppose, say, that it was attempted to change that, by some foreign power, and to force it upon you, would you tamely submit ? No ; you would resist it to the death. I know you • would, and I am for obedience to the law. I would preach no aggression upon the law.. But, fellow citizens, there is such a thing as losing the mob stance whilst fighting for forms. There is such a thing as stealing away the rights of the people.' under pretence of adherence to legal forms.. But what ern be of greater importance to a people than' to son that the ir organic law cleanly and twen-; rately expresses their will? A Constitution frame 4 . and promulgod by a Convention of delegates is; nothing more than a simple enactment of, the Legislature. It has no more validity, no more • vitality. [Applause.] , Well, gentlemen, the people of Kansas have re-; jected the Lecompton Constitution, and it is for, us to ask ourselves what ie next to be done., This question, which has been so - often settled, is; not yet disposed of. It again makes its appear-; anus. -Now what of the future? As I have seid,l the English bill contained an enabling as,well as' a disabling clause. Notwithstanding that die.; abling clause, it is almost certain, hat Kansas will; ask for admission into the Union. as a free 'State! in a very short period. Do not believe the excuse; which is made for the rejection of Lecompton,. that; the people prefer a Territorial Government. Dal January, 1850, her Legislature meets, but. it is' hardly possible that the new Constitution will! come to Congress at its next session. So, then, i the member you elect at the approaching election will have to vote on the admission of Kansas un-; der a free-State Constitution. This is not ant abstract IMO, but a practical one. If you desire; thatihe people of Rene ,as - after so many triale,f shall at last have jnaticti - _ dblieTher ; - if.you desire that she shall come in' as a free State hor people wish, then you will elect men who execute your will. , It is not only necessary to do that, but it is niCes-1 easy to establish the principle for all time to come so, long as this Union shall last, that no Constitution; shall be forced upon an unwilling people; that no: Territory shall be compelled to come into the Union t as a State until her Constitution has been submitted; to her people, or Until they have expressed, is clear and satisfactory terms, their desire to have it put into operation without submission.. Who is, there you can trust more fully than you present Representative? Does anybody believe that be; will not express your will fully and fearlessly? , lie has always been true ; certainly be has, and if, I know the man, he never will be false. [Great applause.] yellow-citizens, I know that in many .things have said, that I differ from many members of the Democratic party I know that it is said that those who occupy the position on this question that Ido are not sound Democrats So far asTI am in formed, I believe that on this question Mr'. Riek-; man and myself - coincide in - sentiment, and I am willing to take issue with any who charges that lam not a ,sound Democrat because I entertain these views. [Applause ] If Democracy means the greatest good 'to the greatest number, if it means that the rmajority, and not the minority should rule, if it means that right and not wrong should have the aseendanoyi then those who entertain the views which I have expressed are sound Democrats. If these views are carried out, there can be no doubt but that the Democratic party .will continue to be the tri umphant party in this country. I know that lam speaking to men of different political opinions, but I speak the truth when I say that if the Democratic party is true to itself, if it will stand up for the right, it nevercan be suocessfullyassailed; I have a warm feeling for the old 'party ; X remember that it was inaugurated by that good, man Thomas Jefferson, and' that during his Ad ministration our people were prosperous at, home and respected abroad. I remember that during his Administration that magnificent territory, washed by the waters of the Mississippi, wee secured to the United States. I remember that under the Administration of James Madison we overcame the boasted mistress of the seas upon her' own element, maintained the equality of the seas, and proved the superiority of American arms on the land. I remember that the country was Prosperous under the Administration of James Monroe; that then was established the true doc trine, "That Americans -shall rule Amerlea,', (in other words, that no -foreign Power should colonize on the American' Continent.) That when the Democratic party selected for its can didate that great and good man Andrew Jack= son, it was not as the nominee of any month. His friends did not yield to the behests of Ring Caucus. Another was the caucus nominee. But the masses rallied round General Jackson. They did MO id Pennsylvania. Be was adopted as the' candidate of the people, and that is as good a nomination as any man can have. If Conventions run counter to the popular will, then the people have the right to put up their own nominees, and to elect them after they ere put up. [Applause.] Under the Administration of General Jackson, the mighty money power was boldly met and sue easefully overthrown, and under that of Martin Van Buren, that admirable system of collecting and disbursing the publio revenues, known as the independent treasury,?' was adopted. All these were Democratic; Administrations, and these were Democratic measurea in the true sense of the word. [Applause.] I will repeat, that if the Democratic party will maintain the right, it willbe the triumphant party in this country. On the other hand, if' it perverts principle to accomplish individual purposes ; if it be found combatting for, the wrong; if, in short, it maintain the position Where some of its leaders would put it upon this Lecompton question, and its organization is used to extend and perpetuate African slavery- upon this continent, its days ate numbered, for no party can long sustain itself in this country when It ie clearly in the wrong. The Agierican'people; in the main, are honest and im partial. They are intelligent. They read, and as they understand these questions, there is no doubt how aide they will decide. And if that glo rious old party shall continue to be in the wrong, the time is not far distant when may be applied to it the words of the poet applied to Greece— " Shade of the mighty, can it be - That thin is all remains of thee." [Applause.] Fellow-eitizens ! I will conclude by enforcing upon you the groat interest involved in your next Congressional oleotion. The result here is looked for not only in Pennsylvania, but all over the country. This district is looked upon as the fort he where is to be fought the battle for the success of the great principle of popular sove reignty, which has been so ably maintained by your Representative. He lin an honest and intre pid man , _ and his success will rejoice many a heart, while his defeat will cause many to mourn. He has a hard battle to tight, but "thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just" and he must, and will succeed. I have nothing to say against his competitors.. I know them both, and they are both gentlemen, but neither can justly call "on John Hickman to cr itic a l ay.. m om en t chang e bide their time, but in this moment change not your leader. Were I a resident of your district, and my life was spared, there is no power on earth-that would prevent moon the second Tuesday of Ootober next from outing my vote in favor of the re-election of John Hickman. fiend him book to Congress, and let him there take part in the final consummation and settlement of the Kansas question. Let him have the proud satisfaction of recording his vote in favorof the admission of Kansas under a Con stitution which truly expresses the will of her people, and then his record will be complete, and it will be a record that an honest man can point to as evidence of his reliability as a representa tive, and his truthfulness as an Individual.
