Bat, sir, tho President of the United
States-is: really and siucerelj of the. opin
ion t!mt tlu Slavery clause haw becu fair
ly ami "impartially submitted to the free
acceptance or rejection of the people
Kaua-; and that inasmuch us that was
the exciting and paramount question, if
they pet the riU-to vote as they please
on that .-object, they ought to be satisfied;
n ml pos-ibly it might bd letter if we would
accept it, and put an cod to the question.
Let afc a.-.k, id the Slavery clause fair
ly .-ununited, to that the people can vote
lor or against I Suppo-e I wire a eitiz n
g,f, Kansas, and should e.o up to the polls
and .Siiy, 'I desire to vote to make Kau
nas a slave State; here i my ballot. They
?eply jo uir, ''Mr. Double , ju-t vote for
fliat'Oou.-tituticu first, if jou iilea.se."
'"Oh, no !M I answer, "I cannot vote for
thai 'Constitution coni-cieutiously. Iam
oppo.-cd to the clause bj v.hich you lo
cate certain railroads, in such a way as to
sacrifice my county and my part of the
State. 1 am opposed to that banking
system. 1 am opposed to this kuow
nothing or Amcricin clause in the Con
ntitution about the qualification for office.
I cauuot vote for it. J hen they answer,
Irou shall not vote on making a slave
State." 1 then say, "I want to make it
u free State." They reply, ''vote for
that Constitution Grit and, then you can
vote to make it a free State, otherwise
jou cannot." Thus .hey disqualify ev-
cr.v slave btate man who mil not first vote
lor the Constitution. No matter wheth
cr or not the voters state that they cannot
conscientiously vote for those provisions,
they reply, "lou cannot vote for or a
gaiust slavery then. Take the Constitu
ion as wc have made it take the electire
franchise as wc h:i?c established it, take
ibe banking system as wc hai-e dictated
if, take the railroad lines as we have lo
cated them, take the judiciary system as
wc have formed it, take it all as we have
fixed it to euit oursrlvqs, and ask no
question3, but vote for it, or ynu shall not
vote either for a slave or a free State."
In other words, the legal effect of the
.schedule is this. All those who are in
favor of this Con.-titution may vote for or
against Slavery, as they please; but all
those who arc against the C ntitution are
uisftanchiscd, and shall not vote at all.
That is the mode in v.hieh the Slavery
proportion is submitted. Every man op
posed to the Constitution i- disfranchised
on the fciavery clause. Uow many are
they ! They tell you there is a nmjori
ty, for they say the Contilution will be
voted down instantly by an overwhelming
majority, if yonillow a negative voto,
This shows that a majority are against.
They disqualify and di-franehir-e every
man who is against it, thus reft-runs the
Slavery clause or a minority free to vote
for or againstslavery as they choose.
Let me ask you if that is a fair mode
of submitting the Slavery clau-e! Does
that mode of submitting that particular
clause leave people perfectly free to vote!
for or against Slavery, as they choose 7
Am I free to vote as I choose on the Sla
very question, if you tell me I shall not
oto ou it until I vote for the Maine li
quor law I Ami free to vote on the Sla
very question, if you tell me that I shall
not voto either way until I vote for a bank?
1 it freedom of election to make your
licit to vote upon one question depend
upon the mode iu which jou are going to
voie on sou.e other que-4ion which has no
connection wiih it. Is that freedom of e-k-ction
! Is that tho great fundamental
principle of self-government, for which
vc combined and struggled, in this body
iinJ throughout the country, to establish
a the rule of action in all time to come?
The Pie-ident of the the United States
had made seme remarks in the message,
which itslrikcs me it would be very appro
priate to read In this connection, lie say:
"The friends aud supporters of the
Nebraska and Kansas act, v.bcn strui
fcliug on a rec"at occasion to sustain its
) rovisions before the great tribunal of the
American people, never differed about its
true meaning on this subject. Every
where throughout the Union they public
ly pledged their faith and honor that they
vould cheerfully submit the question of
Slavery to ihe decision of the bona fide
proplo ef Kansas, withot any restriction
or qualification whatever. All were cor
dially united upon the great doctrine of
popular sovereignty, which is the vital
pihniple of our free in.-titutions !' j
Maik this:
"Had it then been insinuated, from any
quarter, that it would have been a suffi
cient compliance with the requisitions of
the organic law for the members of a Con
vention, thereafter to be elected, to with
hold the quct-tiou of Slevery from the
people, and to substitute their own will
lor that of a legally ascertained majority
of their constituents, this would have been
instantly njected."
Yes, sir, and I will add further, had it
been tlniU iritimated from any quarter,
wsd believed by the American people,
that it would have tubmiited the Slavery
clause, not ouly would the idea have been
jejectid, but the Democratic candidate
lor the Presidency would have, been re
jected; and every man who backed him
would have brcn rejtcted, too.
The President tells us its bis measage
that the whole party pledged our faith
and our honor that the Slavery question
ehould le submitted to the people, with
out any restiictiou or qualification what
ever. Does tors schedule submit it with
out qualification I It qualifies it by say-
jng, "'lou may voto on slavery u you
vote for tho Confutation; but you shall
not do so without doing that. ihat is
a very important qualificntiou a quali
fication that controls a man's vote and
hi actio u and his conscience, if he is an
honest man a. qualification confessedly
in violation- of our platform. Wo are
told by the President that our faith and
"-fur honor are- pledged that the Slavery
clause should U submitted without qual
ification of any kind whatever, and now,
aro I to be culled upon to forfeit my faith
aod my honor in order to eu-alle a minor-
- ihy of the people or lVansas to deiraua

fcjie mjorit of that people out of lUciro njnu.
elective franchise! Sir, my honoris
pledged; and before it shall be tarnished
I will take" whatever consequences; per
sonal to myself may come, but never ask
me to do an act, which the President, in
his message, has said is a forfeiture oY
olfaitha violation of honor and that
w -
merely for the expediency of saving hi
party. 1 will go a far as any of you to
save the party. 1 have as much heart iu
the great cause that binds us together a
a party, as any man living. I sill sac
rifice anything short of principle aud hoi.
or, for the peace of the party, but if the
party will not stand by its principles, its
faith and its pledges, I will stand there
and abide whatever consequences may
result from the po-itioD,
Lot me ask you, why force this ConMi
tution down the throats of the p ople of
Kan-as, in opposition to their wishen,aud
iu violation of our pledges. What great
obiect is to be obtained I Cut bona ?
Wi'at are you to gain by it! Will you
sustain the party by violating its princi
ples! Do you propose to keep the party
united by forcing a division? Stand by
the doctrine that leaves the people per
fectly free to form and reguUte their in
stitution for themselves iu their own way.
and your party will be united and irresis
tible in power. Abandon that great
principle, and tho party is not worth sa
ving, and cannot Le saved, after it shall
be violated. I trust we are not to be
rushed upon this question. Why shall it
he done? Who is to be benefitted ? Is
the South to be the gainer I Is the North
to be the gaiucr ? Neither the North nor
the South has the right to gain a section
al advantage of trickery or fraud.
But I am bi set ched to wait until I hear
from th" election on the 521st of Decem
ber. I am told, that perhaps that will
put it all right, and will save the whole
difficulty. IIow can it! Perhaps there
may be a large vote. There may be a
large vote rcturnod. Laughter. But I
deny that it is possible to have a fair
vote on the Slavery clause; and 1 suy that
it is not possible to have any vote on the
Constitution. Why wait for the mocke
ry of an election, when it is provided un
alterably that the people cannot vote
when the majority are disfranchised!
But I am told on all sides, "Oh, ju-t
wait; the Pro-Slavery clause will be vo
ted down. That docs not obviate any of
mv objections, it does not diminish any
ol tueui. 10 have uo more nyht to loree
a free State Con-titution on Kansas than
a slave btate Contitution. It iS.ansas
want- a slave-State Constitution, Bhe has
a right to have it; if she wants a free
state Constitution, she has aright to have
it. It is none of my business which way
the Slavery clause is decided. I care not
whether it is voted down or voted up -Do
you suppose, after the pledges of my
honor that it would go for that priuciple,
and leave the people to vote as bey
choose, that I would degrade myself by
voting one way if the Slavery clause be
voted down, and another way if it be vo
ted up ! I care not how that vote mv
stand. I take it for granted that it wilt
be voted out. I think I have seen tnom;b
ui the last three days to make it certain
that it will be returned out, no matter
how the vote may stand. Laughter.
Sir, I am opposed to that couceru, be
cause it looks to me iike a sjstem of trick
ery and jugglery, to defeat the fair ex
prcssion of the will ol the people. Then
is no necessity for crowding this measure,
so unfair, so unjust as it is in all its as
pects upon us. Why can we not now do
what we proposed to do iu the la-t Con
gress ! We then voted through the Sen
ate an enabliug act, called the Toombs
bill, believed to be just and fair in all its
provisions, pronounced to be almost per
feet by the Senator from New Hamp
shire, Mr. Hale only he did'nt like the
man, theu Pretddeut of the Uuited States
who would have to make tho appoint
ments Wrhy can we not take that bill,
and out of compliment to the President,
add too it a clause taken from the Minne
sota act, which he thinks should Le a gen
eral rule, requiring the Constitution to
be submitted to the people, and pass that!
That unites the party. You all voted
with me for the bill attho la-t Congress
Why not stand by the ssme bill now ?
Ignore Lecompton, ignore Topeka, treat
both these party movements as irregular
and void; pass a fair bill the one that
we framed ourselves when we are acting
as a unit. Have a fair election, and you
will have peace in the Democratic party,
and peace throughout the country iu nine
ty days. The people want a fair vote.
They will never be sati-fied without it.
They never should be satisfied without a
fair vote on their Constitution.
If the Toombs bill docs not suit my
friends, take the Micoeota bill of lat
session the one so much commended by
the President iu his menage as a model.
Let us pass that as an enabling act, uud
allow the people of all partie-. to come to
gether and have a fair vote, and I will go
for it. Frame any other bill that secures
a fair honest vote, to men of all parties,
and carries out the pledge that the peo
ple tshall be left free to decide on th' ir
domestic institutions for themselves, and
I will go with y ou with pleasure, and with
all the euery I may possess. But if
this Constitution is to be forced down our
throats, in violation of the fundamental
principle of free government, under a
mode of submission that is a mockery
and insult, painful as it will be to me, I
must break ail associations or connections
rather than forfeit my principles.
I have uo fear of any party associotions
beins; severed. I should rejjret to see
social and political ties severed, but if it
must be if I cannot act with you aud pre
serve my faith and honor. I will stand on
the great priuciple of popular sovereignty,
which declares toe right of all people to
be left perfectly free to form and regu
late their domestic institutions iu their
own way. I will follow that principle
.wherever its legal a-nd logical oon-equen-
sequences may tako me, and I will en

- The Kentucky Legislature.
The editor of the Bardstown Gazette,
writing from Frankfort, says that the Leg
islature of that State "is composed of fioc
looking well dressed and well behaved
men, and that among the whole number
there are but five druukards, aud only
ehrhtor ten fools a smaller number than
was ever counted in any previous Gener
Assembly." The Oregon Election.
By the California mail we have later
returns of the election in Oregon on the
State Constitution. Official returns from
nine counties, and unofficial from one
other, show the following result: For the
Constitution, 4,597; against it, 1.884; for
Slavery. 1,332; against it, 5,101; for free
necroes, 650; against them. 5,479. Re
ported majorities in six counties give for
the Con.-titution 1 ,1 13 majority; again-t
Slavery, 1,106... This gives 3,826 major
ity for the Constitution, and 0,U19 a-

Pennsylvania Eank vs. Allbone.
In the Court of Common Pleas, on
Thursday last, Judge Thompson appoint-
i Wm. W. Kean, Charles Macalester,
and John C. Mitchell trustees under the
domestic attachment issued in the case of
the President, Directors and Company of
the Bank of Pennsylvania vs. Thomas Al-
ibonc. The appointment is made under
the Act of IS36, which provides that on

ment, the Court shall appoint three hon

ful discharge of their important duties.
Resumption.
The Philadelphia North American, of
Thursday la-t, says that at a meeting of
the city banks held la-t evening, in regard
to an early resumption of specie pay
ment, we understand that some of the
smaller batiks were for resuming on the
first of this moCh, but most of those pres
ent preferred the Grt of February; noth
ing definite was arrived at, but the latter
period seemed to find most favor.

A Hew Counterfeit Detector.
About the most useful thiug that any

the corrections in each number of the
list, so that it may be perfectly relied on,
while the well known house of E. W.
Clark & Co., Comiui'sioo Stock and Ex

Hall's Journal of Health has the fol
lowing: "From extended and close ob
servation, the following general deduc
tions seem to be warranted:
i(l. Infantile vaccination is an almo-t
perfect safeguard until the fourteenth
year. 2. At the beginning of fourteen,
the system gradually loses its capability
of re-istance, until about twenty-one.
when many per-ons become almo-t as li
able to sraall-pox, as if they had not been
vaccinated. 3. This liability remains in
full force until about forty-two, when the
usccntibtlity begins to decline, and con
tinues for seven years to grow loss and
less, becomiog extinct at about fifty, tbe
period of lifo when the general revolution
of the body begins to tuko place, during
which the system yields to decay, or tak'
a new lease of life for 2 or 3 terms of 7
years each. 4. The grand practical u-e
to be made of these statements is: Let
every youth be re-vaccinated oncnteriug
fourteen; let several attempts be made so
as to ho certain of safety. As the mala-
ly is more likely to prevail in cities dur

the subject at this time.
