assumed,
Thai repeal 3iJ hot open to free cdmpciilVbtf
of the diverse opinions and domestic institu
tions a field, which, wiihout.sucb repeal, wi’d
have been closed against them: it found that
field of competition already opened, in fact
and in law. All the repeal did was to relieve*
he statute-book of an objectionable enact
ment, unconstitutional in effect, and inju
rious in te|riis to a large porlipn of the States.
Is it (heSfect that, in all uDseU|edregions
of the Unifipj States, if
to act in IM respect for legal;
prohibitiopsVon either side,
sponwneowty go
to free latSftf? Is it tho fact

that wheresoever an avaouels freely open to
alt the world, they will periptralij-tip'thcqaj,
elusion of those of the Northern
it the fact, that the former enjoy, compared
with the Inner, such irresistibly superior
lality, independent of climate, soil, - and alt
tphqr accidental circumstances, as to be able
to.produce the supposed result, in suite of the
assumed moral and natural obstacles to its
Bcpomplishment, and of (he more numerous
population' of the Northern States'?
The argument of these who advocate the
enactment of new lawsof restriction and con
demn the repent of old ones, in effect avers
that their particular views of government
have no self-extending or self-sustaining pow
er of liter own, and will go nowhere unless
forced by the nn( of Congress. And if Con
gress do but pause fora moment in the policy
of stern coercion ; if it venture to try the ex
periment .of leavipg ,men to judge for them
selves what institutions will best'suit them ;
f it'be not strained up to perpetual legisla
tive exertion on this point ; if Congress pro
ceed thus to act in the very spirit of liberty,
it is at once charged with aiming to extend
s|aye labor into all the new Territories of the
United S'nies.
Of course, these Imputations on the inten
tions of Congress in this respect, conceived
as thev were in prejudice, and disseminated
in passion, ore utterly destitute tifaoy justifi
cation in the nature of things, and contrary
to all the fundamental doctrines and princi
ples of civil liberty and self-government.
While, therefore, in general, the people of
the Northern Stales have never, at any time,
arrogated for the Federal Government the
power to interfere direct! v with domestic con
dition of persons in the Southern Slates, but
on the contrary have disavowed all such in
tentions, and have shrunk from conspicuous
affiliation with those few who pursue their
fanatical objects avowedly through the con
templated means of revolutionary change of
the government, and with acceptance of the
necessary consequences —a civil and servile
war—yet many citizens have suffered them
selves to be drawn into one evanenscent po
litical issue of agitation after another, apper
taining to the same set of opinions, and
which subsided as rapidly as they arose when
it came to be seen, as it uniformly did, that
they were incompatible with the compacts of
the Constitution a£d the existence of the
Union.
Thus when the acts of some of the Slate to
nullify the existing extradition law, imposed
upon Congress the duly of passing a new
one, the country was invited by agitators to
enter into parly organization for Us repeal;
but that agitation speedily ceased by reason
of the impracticability of its object. So, when
the statute restriction upon the institutions ol
new Slates by a geographical line had been
repealed, the country was urged to demand
us restoration, and that project also died al
most with its birth. Then followed the cry
of alarm from the North against imputed
Southern encroachments; which cry sprang
in reality from the spirit of revolutionary at
tack on the domestic institutions of the South,
and; after a troubled existence ofa few months,
has been rebuked by the voice of a patriotic
people.
Of this lost agitation, one lamentable fea
ture was, (bat it was carried on at the imme
diate expense of the peace and happiness of
•the people.of the people of the Territory of
Kansas;)/ T(isi wasmade the haute-field, noji
so mu<*-‘pf opposing factions or interests
within itself).as of the conflicting-passions of
whoge.pedpla of'the United States. Rev
oTulipnafrydisorder in Kansas had its origin
Sn projeils pf intervention, deliberately ar
ranged py certam members of that Congress
jWhich epacted the law for the organization
of the Territory. And when propagandist
colonization of Kansas had thus been under
taken in one section of the Union, for the sys
tematic i promotion of its peculiar views of
policy, (here ensued, as a matter of course, a
counteraction witfi opposite views in other
sections of of the Union.
In consequence of these and other Incidents,
matiy afels of disorder, it is undeniable, have
been perpetrated in Kansas, to the occasional
interruption, rather than the permanent sus
pension, of regular government. Aggressive
nnd most reprehensible incursions into the
Territory were undertaken, both in the
North 'and the South, and en'ered it
on its northern border by the way offowa,
as well ps on the easier by way of Missouri,;
end there has existed within it a state of.fn
surrection against the constituted au'horilios,.
not without countenance from inconsiderate
persons; in each of the great sections ofthp
Union. But the difficulties in that Territory
have been extravagantly exaggerated for pur
pose of political agitation elsewhere.
The number and gravity of the acts of
violence have been magnified-by -party state
ments entirely untrue, and by reiterated ac
counts of the same rumors or facts. Thus
the Territory has been seemingly filled with
extreme violence, when the whole amount of
such acts has not been greater than what oc
casionally passes before us in single cities to
the regret of all good citizens, but without be
ing reghrdedas of general! or permanent po
litical consequence.
Impujted irregularities in the elections fiad
in Kansps, like occasional irregularities of the
same, description in (he States, were beyond
the spjtere of action of the Executive. But
incidents of actual violence or of organized
obstruction, of law, pertinaciously Vene'wbd
from time io time, have been niet as they' oc
curred, iby such moans as were availab\e and
as the ciroumstanees required; and nothing
of this character now remains to a fleet’ the
general peace of the Union, The attempt of

country against foreign foes or the savages
6f the frontier,, lb, ehiploji :ji for'inSsuppres* 1
sioopf . domestic insurrection, is, ’ When the
exigency occurs, a matter of,the most earnest
solicitude. On this occasion of imperative
necessity it has been done with the best results,'
and ray satisfaction in the attainment qfstich
results by such means, isgreaify enhanced by
the consideration-that, through''the wisdoin
and energy of the present Executive of Kan
sas, and the, prudence, firmness and vigilance
of the military officers on duty there, tran
quility has been restored without one drop of
blood having been shed in its accomplish
rannl by.lhp forces of the JJniled Staipa.. ...,
The restoration of compaValive irariqflimy
in-that Territory, furnishes .the /neaps of ob
serving calmly, hnd appreciating at their just
value, the events which Have occurred there,
and the discussions of which the Government
of iheTerritory has been the subject.
We perceive that controversy concerning
its future domestic institutions was inevitable }
that no human prudence, no form of legisla
tion, no wisdom on the 'part of Congress,
could have prevented this.
It is idle to suppose (hat the particular pro
visions of their organic law were the cause
of agitation. Those provisions were but the
occasion, or the pretext of an agitation, which
was inherent in the nature of things. Con
gress legislated. upon the subject in such
terms as were most consonant with the prin
ciple of popular sovereignly which underlies
our government. It could not have legislated
otherwise without doing violence to another
great principle of our institutions, the impre
scriptible right of equality of the several
Slates.
We perceive, alsp, that sectional interests
and party passions, have been (he great im
pediment to the saldlary operation of the or
ganic principles adopted, and the chief cause
of the successive disiitbances in Kansas, The
assumption that because in (he organization
of the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas.
Congress abstained from imposing restraints
upon them to which certain other Territories
had been subject, therefore disorders occurred
in the latter Territooy, is emphatically con
tradicted by the fact that none have occurred
in the foritler. Those disorders were not the
consequence in Kansas, of the freedom of
self-government conceded to that Territory
by Congress, but of unjust interference on
(he part of jiersons not inhabitants of.-Uy*
Territory. Such. jAi«r>orcnctf; wherever it
has exhlbited-itself, by acts of insurrection
ary character, or of obstruction to processes
of law, has been repelled or suppresed, by all
the means which the Constitution and the
place in the hands of the Executive.
In those parts of the United States where,
by reason of the inflamed slate3of the public
mind, false rumors and misrepresentations
have the greatest currency, it lias been as
sumed that it was the duly of the Executive
not Only to suppress insurrectionary move
ments in Kansas, but also to see to the .regu
larity of local elections. It needs little ar
gument to show that the President has no
such power. AH government in the United
Stales rests substantially upon popular elec
tion. {See Sd page.)
