CHINA.
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. Sir Grsonan
STAUNTON'S account of Lord MAOARTNET'S
Embassy to China, in 1792.94, is well written,
and even amusing, as a personal narrative, but
it relates httle except what the author saw,
and as Secretary to the Embassy, be was kept
In the dirk" tie much as - possible. Sir JouN
F.'DiVia, who accompanied Lord Amipar
to China, in:1816, continued at Canton for
,twenty'yeara, in an °Molar capacity, and, on
his return, in 1886, published vc The Chinese :

bitantsrivhich is by fir the moat valuable
systematic work on China over produced. In
1841 be followed it upby «Sketches in China,"
With notes on the war then proceeding with

Descriptions of the Cultur:e of the Tea Plant.'!
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. He is an American, and
thus, not without a touch of satire, likerl
the 'Chinese Government to ours. Ho says
"The Chinese Government, as at present admit
nistered, seems in some respects remarkably like
ours. The first great theory is, that in theory it id
perfect, and in practice works remarkably , badly,.
Secondly, it is a mere machine for collecting
times, and enriching those Who can put themselves
into ogee by bribery and other means. Thirdly,
The officials have no power except when supported
by public opinion: and, Fourthly, The Governt
meat has lost the respect of the people, who,. ird'
ease of diffioulty, consider a Government official
the last person to go to for advice or redrew"

Mr. MINTURNN notes on China, brief though
they be, are so very satisfactory that we hear
tily wish he had inclination and time to revisit

A Letter from Brigham Young.
A citizen of Canandaigua hes received an autograph
letter from Brigham Young, which we find published
in 'the Ontario Republican Times. This I.tter was
written in reply to one addressed to the " Prophet " by
the gentleman spoken of. Brigham was requested Illy
hie correspondent to se.tie a controversy relating - to
his own antecedents, which had sprung up between
the latter and Alava° Beebe, of Canandaigua, Brig-

history
44 GREAT BALT LAIL'S Cm, Tuly 23. 1858
. . . _ .
" 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

SPEECH-'OP HON. JOHN O. 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

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. [lm
