dcrhrpd it to bo "tbo truo intcat andjon correct principles! and hence my in -

it Ihnriifcom, but to Icavo the nconla I wero expressed in cencrnl and unnuililiod
tliercof perfectly free to form and rcgula

their doinostio institutions in their own'
way." Under it Kansas, " when admitted
as n Slate," was to "bo received into tho
Union, with or without slavery, as their
Constitution may proscribo at tho timo of
their admission."
Did Congress moan br tbU lano-iimr
that tho delegates elected to frame a con-
dilution should havo authority finnllv tn
decido (ho question of slavory, or did they
intend by,lcnvim it to tho people that tho
ppoplo of Kansas themselves should decide
this question by n direct voto t On this
subject I confess I had never entertained
n serious doubt, and, therefore, iu my in
B'ructions lo Govornor Walker of tho 28ib
March last, ,1 raerely said that when " a
oonstitulion shall bo submitted to tbo people
of tho Territory, they must bo tirotnirrl
in tho exorciso of their risht of votiorr forl'er nu4.sUvo and a few others hie '
or against that instrument, and the fair
expression of tbo popular will must not lie
interrupted by fraud or violence.
In expressing this opioion it was far
from my intention to interfero. wit! the
decision of tbo people of Kansas, cither for
vt agaiD5t slavery, -from tms 1 havo al
ways carefully abstained. Intrusted with
Ilia duty of taking " oare that the laws bo
faithfully cxeoutod,1' my only desiro was
tint the pcoplo ot ivansas t-liould furnish
ip Congress the evidence required by tho
nrp auic act, wnenicr ior or against slavery)
nnd in this manner smooth their passage
into tho Union. In emerging from tho
oonuition ot territorial tlcpondenco into
that of a sovereign. State, it was their
duly, in my opinion, to ruako known their
will by the votes of tho majority, oa tho
direct question whether this important
omcsiio institution enowa or should not
continao to exist. Iadeed, this was the
only possiblo mode in which their will
eould bo authentically ascertained.
Tho cleclinn of delegates to a coavaation
must necessarily take place in separate
districts. Frqm this ctuso it may roadily.
happen, ai bus often been the case, that a
majority of the people of a State or Terri
tory are ono lido of a question, whilst a
majority of the representative from tho
several districts into which it is divided
may ba upon tho other side. This arises
from'tbo fact that in somo districts dele
gates may be elaoted, by, small majorities,
whilst in others those of different scntimcnU
may receive majorities sufficiently great
not to overcome the votes given for the
tormer, but to leave a largo majority of
tbi j?holc people in direct opposition to a
majority: of, tho dolegates. Besides, our
history proves that influences may bebrought
io bear on iho representative sufficiently
powerful tn induce him to disregard the
will of his constituents. Tho truth is, that
no other authentic and satisfactory mode
exists of ascertaining tho will of a msjoiity
of tho people of sny State or Territory on
cn important and cxcitiDg question like
that of slavery in Kansas, except by leav
ing it to a direct vote. How wise, then,
was it for Oonsress to pas3 over all 'subor! !
ornate ana intermediate agencies, and
proceed directly to tho source of nil legiti
mate power uudcr our institutions !
How vain would any othor principle
nro?e in practice I This may bo illustrated
by the case of Kansas. Should sho be
admitted into the Union, with a Constitu
tion maintaining or abolishing slavery,
against the sentiment of the people, this
oould havo no other effect than to continue
nnd to exasperate the cxis'ing agitation
during tho brie.f period- required tct make
tbc Constitution conform to the irrcsis ible
will of the majority.
Tho friends and supporters of tho Ne
braska nnd Kansas net, when struggling
on a tecen.t occasion to' sustain its wise
provit-ions before the great tribunal of the
American pcoplo, never differed about its
truo meaning on this subject. Everywhere
throughout the Union they publicly pledged
their taith and their honor, that they would
cheerfully submit the question of slavery
to tho decision of tho bona fide people tTfl
Kansas, without any restriction or qualifi-'
nation whatever. All woro cordially united. I
upon the great docirino of popular sove-'
totgnty, wbich.is tho vital principle of our!
frco institutions. Had it then been insin. '
uatcd from any quarter that it would bo at
hufficient compliance with tho requisitions
of th drganio law for tho members of a '
convention, thereafter to bo elected, to
withhold the question of slavery from tho
people, nnd to substituto their own will for
ttiat oi a legany ascenaincu majority oi an
thpir constituents, this would have been
instantly rejected, iivcrywhoro llicy re
mained true to the resolutions adopted on
a celebrated pecaeion recognizing " tho
right of the people of all Territories in
rluding Kansas and Nebraska actiog
through the legally and fairly expressed
nil o? a majority of actual residents, and
wboncver the number of their inhabitants
justifies it, to form a Constitution, with or
vithout slavery, anil be admitted into the
Union upon terms of perfect equality with
the othef Sta'cs."
The Convention lo frame a Constitution
for Kansas met on tie first Monday of
September last. They were called together
by virtue of an act of tho Territorial Log.
isl&turp, whoso lawful csistonce had been
recognized by Congress in different forms
and by different enactments. A large
proportion of the citizens of Kansas did

uesiucs, thore was no qucstiou then beforo
Congress, nor indeed has thcro since been
any, serious question upiore mo people ol
Kansas or tbo country, except that which
relates to tho "domestic institution" rf
slavery."
Tbo convention after an nngry and esci
tod debate, finally determined, by a ma
jority of only two, to subaiit tho question
of slavery to tho people, though at the last
fortytbreo of the fifty, delegates present
affixod thcir.sigoitures to the constitution.
A largo majority of the convention were
in favor of cstablishinc slavery in Kansas.
They accordingly inserted nn article in tho
constitution for this purpose similar in
form to those which had been adopted, by
otuer territorial conventions. in the
schedulo, .however, providing for. the Iran
sition from a territorial to a Stato govarn
moot, the question his been fairly and
explicitly rearrcd to tho peoele, whether
tboy will havo a constitution "with or with
out slavery," It declares that beforo tho
constitution adopted by the convention
'shall bo sont to Couiic33 for admission
into the Union as a State," an, election
shall bo hold to decide this oucstion. at
which oil tbo white, tnalo inhabitants of tbo
I crritory above tbo ago. ol, 21. arc entitled
to voto. Thay nro to voio by li.ijct.niicl
tho "ballot cast at said election shall bo
endored 'Constitution with slavery,' and
'Constitution with no slavery."1 If there
bo a majority in favor, of tho 'Constitution
with slavery,' tbon it is to bo transmitted
to Congress by the President of tho Con
vention in its original form. If, on tbo
contrary, there shalLba n, majority. favor
of the "Constitution with no Blavery," "then
tho article providing lor slavery shall be
stricken from tbo Constitution by the
Presidont of this Conveniion ;" and it is
cxnresily declared ithat 'no slivery shall
cxfst in tbo Stato of Kansas except that the
right of proporty in slaves now in tho
Territory shall in uo manner bo interfered
with,' and in that event it is made his duty
to havo the Constitution thus ratified
'ransmitted, to "i .Con3rcf 'II0 United
States for tho admission of tho Stato into I
tho Union. I
At this election cv.cry citizen will have
an opportunity of expressing las opinion
by his voto "whether Kansas shall ho re
ceived into tho Union with or without
slavery," aDd thus this exciting question
may be peacefully settled in tho very mode
required by tho organic law. The election
will be held under legitimate authority, and
if any portion cf the, inhabitants ihall re
fuse to vote, a fair opportunity to do so
having.bccn presented, this will bo their
own voluntary act, and they alone will be
responsible for tho conscqueuccs.
Whether Kansas shall bo a free or a
slave State must eventually, under some
authority, bo decided by no election ; aad
the question can never 'bo mine clearly or
distinctly presented to the people than it is
at tho present moment. Should thu op
portunity bo rejected', she may bo involved
lor jcars in domestic d,iseor,d, and possibly
m civil war, beforo she can again roach, tho
F01Dt suo ua3 a'reauy attaineu.
Kansas has for emoq years occupied too
much of tho publio attention. It is high
timo tlloy s,10altl directed to far laoie
important objects. When cmco admitted
into the Union, whether with or without
slavery, the excitement beyond her own
limits will speedily pass away, and she
will then for tho first timo bo left, as she
ought to have been long since, to manage
her own affairs in her own way. If her
tuuMimuuu ou mu ouujtti, ui omvury, or
any other subject, bo displeasing to a ma
jority of the people, no human power can
prevent tnem irom clianging it within a
brief period. Under theso circumstances'

1 transmit herewi'h tlio reports made to
me by tbo Secretaries of War and of ;be
Navy, of tbo interior nnd ol the Postmaster
Gnnornl TIipjj nil contain valuable apd
important information a' d snggo'tions
which I commend to the lavorable consi
deration of Congress.
As st.ited iu the report of the Secretary,
lite tariff of March H. 1857, has been in
opcratiou for so 6hort a period of lime, and
undox circumstances so Ttr.fivorabla to n
just tlcwlop'tccnt of its result ns a revenue I
measuM, that I should ro.-nrd it as expo-
client, at least for the present, to undcrt ike
rs revision,
I Lave already rccominoinled.tho r ising
of four.additicnol regiments, and.lha report
of tho Secretary of War presents strdng
reasons proving this incroaso of tho army,
undor existing circumstances, to be indis
pcnsab;c,
1 would call tho nvoeiul atlention
f'ouirreis to the recommendation of tlio i
Scurutnijr of tho Invy ill fllVOr of tllC
cotisiruction of ten Email war steamers ot
light draught.
ror some years Hie Uovernmcut has been
obliged on many ocaieious to hire such
stealers from individuals to supply its
pressing w.ar,Js. At tho present ili'omeiit
wo h&7c no armed vcfscI in the Navy
which con penetrate the river3 ol China.
We have but few who can enter any of the
harbors south of iNorfolkj although many
millions of, foreign and domcstio commerce
annually pts in and cut. of thesa harbors.
Some of our most valuable interests and
most vulnerable points arethus loft exposed.
This class of vessels of light draught, great
speed, and heavy gun3 would bo fotmidable
in tbo coast defence, The cost of their
construction will not bo great and they
will icquirc but a comparatively small
expenditure to keep thorn in commission
In time of peace they will provo as eifec-
tiveas much larger vtsscls, uud often more
useful.
One of them should bo at every station
where we mainUin a squadron, and threo
and efEoicncy combine to reeoinmond them
as almost indispensable. Ten ofthe-ie small
ves-cls would bo of incalculable advantago
to thu naval service, and the whole cost of
their construction would not exceed two
million threo hundred thousaud dollars cr
8200,Q0( oich.
The report of the Secretary of the In
tsri n is worthy of grave consideration. It
treats of tho numerous, important aad
divcrfiCed bvanches of domestic adminis
tration intrusted to him by law. Among
theso the most important aro tho public
lands and our relation with them Indians.
Our syitem for the disposal of the public
lauds, originating wjth the fathcr.s of tho
republic, has been improved as experience
pointed tho way, and gradually adapted to
k, P -f T ,CI ur,wc.stor"
Sat" "'J '"ritoncs. It has worked well
tne gronlti and sett ement ot our western
in practice. Already tiirteca Statjs and
seven lorritoncs navo been carved out of
these lands, and still more than a thousaud
millions of acres remain unsold, What a
uounciiess prospect tms presents to our
couutry of future prosperity and powor.
Wo havo heretofore disposed of303,602,101
acres of the publio land.
Whilst the publio lands as a sjurco of
revenue aro ot groat importance, their
imporlanco is far croiter as furnishing
homes for a hardy and independent raco of
uonest and industrious citizens, who desire
to subduo and cultivate tho soil. Thev
ought to bo administered mainly with a
viow of promoting this wiso arid benevolent
pouoy. xn appriipria'ing tnem lor any
other purposo,wo ought to u?o oven greater
economy than if they had been cpnvorted
into monoy and tho proceeds wcro 'rjlready
in tbo public treasury. To squander away
this richest ond noblest inheritance which
