The names of Clay, Webster and

Wise, repugnant alike to the Constitution
and reason, was thrust upon the country,
no respectable political party held the
opinion that a territorial legislature had
the right to exclude slave property pend
ing its territorial condition. When did
Clay ever hold such doctrines? When
were such doctrines ever embodied in the
Compromise measures of IMO.
They all looked to the period when this

-1,3w me to do much more than state these
propoaitions,but I will read short abatraets
from the celebrated report made by the
Committee of Thirteen, of which Mr. Clay
was Chairman, which resulted in the corn-
prom' to measures of 1860. It is calm and
lucid —has no clap trap phrases, and puts
me in mind of the language used by the
Supreme Court.

vol. 21 of she Globe, part let, page 945.)
lie continued—That was the doctrine of
nonintervention in 1 tiso. It was no in.
terference to exclude by Congress or the
Territorial Legislature, but to leave the,
question to be decided by the people when
they came to form their State Constitution.
[Mr. B. here read from a speech of Dan
iel Webster, in which the position is tak
en that territorial governments are in a
state of pupilage, under the protection of
the general government ; that they have
no power, not given to them by Congress ;
that it is our duty to provide for the peo•
ple of the territorial government ; to se•
cure their property; to see that the pro.
taction of their persons and the security of
their property are all regularly provided
for; to maintain them in that state until
they grow into sufficient importance in
point of population to be admitted into the
Union as a State upon the same footing
with the original States.]
Mr. Breckinrid . ge continued—Do you
suppose that Daniel Webster, after the
opinion of the Supreme Court which
have read to you, would have considered
it becoming to him to point at some con
trivance or device by which the Territori
al Legislature could violate the rights of
the Southern States ? Not he '

Clay, nor any of the great and good men
who figured in the earlier days of your
history. [Cheers.]
The Judges and Governors of these
Territorial Governments are appointed by
the President of the United States, and
paid out of the public treasury, so that the
very Legislature which they invoke to ex
elude your property from the Territories,
is one whose daily expenses are paid out
of the Treasury—out of the money to
which that very property contributes by
taxation. [Applause.] The practice of
Government has been always different.
Mr. B. here entered into an argument
to show that Congress has power to pro•
Sect property in the Territories, and in
refutation of the position recently taken
by the Senator from Illinois,tbat Congress

Thu man does not livo who has the pow•

But if there be nothing in my character
to justify this accusation. what is there in
the platform and principles upon which I
stand ? As it must, if anywhere, be in the
resolutions as to property in the Territo
ries, I will read them, and you can judge•
whether they accord with the position of
the Supreme Court and the governtnent,as
I have shown it to.day.
After reading the resolutions, he contin
ued—That is the platform and these are
the principles avowed. If they aro con
stitutional they are not sectional, for the
Constitution is broad enough to cover the
whole Union. (Cheers.) Ile who stands
upon the Constitution can neither be we.
tioual nor a disunionist. Those principles
are taken almost verluitim from the opinio
of the Supreme Court. They are support.
ed by the precedents and practice of the
Ooverument. They are the principles up.
on which we may well live and by whirl,
we may well be willing to die. (Cheers.)
They are vital, important, and concern the
rights of persons and property. They
cannot be abstract and unimportant for
they concern the honor and equality of.
the States. What has been the position
of Kentucky upon that platform ? The
candidates for tiovernor of this State lan
year, both held that territorial legislatures'
hare no power to exclude our property,:
and each contended that every department
of the government must protect it when It
becomes necessary. Mr. Joshua Bell, I
believe, went a step further by expressing •
the opinion that the time had now arrived
when the government slia;l interfere.—
tour Conventions endorsed there princi
ples, and the Senate and Assembly of the
Commonwealth of Koutucky,by the unan
imous vote of both parties, endorsed them
as being constitutional and true. by the
following resolution. which I must read, it
is so apt, so pertinent,so conclusive. (The
resolution of the last Legialature of Ken
tueky were here read.) That is word for
word, the opinion of the Supreme Court,
and the platform of National Democratic
Convention on which I stand to day.—
Both parties in Kentuekhat the polls and
by the unanimous votes of their represen
tatives in the Legislature, have declared
dist these principles are those of the Con !
stitution. I might pause here, but in i
port of these principles I want the author•
ity of Mr. Crittenden himself. (Applause.)
Whatever doubts he may hare as to my ;
fidelity to the Constitution and the Union I
I do not hesitate to say that eminent;
gentleman is devoted to the Union. Ido
not believe he would advocate principles
which he believed were unconstitutional or
calculated to destroy the union of Wei
country, and if I can have his sanction !
and endorsement for the principles I ad. I
vecate, it will go a great way in proving,
that they are constitutional, and not tend.
ing to disunion.
(Mr. 11., here read the 3d, 4th and sth

udice.
Fellow citizens, can you bear with me a
little longer !
A Voice—" Yes, for a week ; go on :"
I know of but one political organisa
tion now before the United States which
' asserts the principles I have undertaken
to expound. The Republican organiza—
tion has taken precisely the saute ground
from an opposite point of view. They
say we have no rights in the Territories
with our property. They say Congress
has a right to exclude it, and it is its duty
to do so, and they are willing to see the
Territorial Legislature do it if Congress
does not.
In regard to the platform adopted by
the Convention which nominated Mr. Bch..
of Teunessee, and Mr. Everett, of Massa-,
chusetts, I have only to say that certainly
it announces no principle at all upon this
subject,—none whatever. Gentlemen tell
us that they are advocating the olaints of
these distinguished gentlemen upon the
principles of " the Constitution, the Union
and the enforcement of the laws." I
presume that there is scarcely a man in
this assembly—perhaps no one North or
south, who wall admit that he is against
the Union, the Constitution and the en-
forcement of the laws. But yet they en-
,
tertain the most diverse and opposite
opinions as to the best mode of sustaining
the Constitution and the character of the
laws to be enforced. Mr. Seward, Mr.
. Burlingame and Mr. Giddings will tell
you they are for the Union; but it is their ,
own sort of Union theyi want. They say
they are for the Coulnitution, but they
construe the Constitution so as to take
away all our rights. They tell -you they
I are for the enforcement of the laws, but
they are for laws which would take away
d our property. (Cheers.)
" For the Union, the Constitution and
the Laws." They shake hands with you
on that—anything under heaven after.
ward. (Laughter and cheers.]
This platform. gentlemen, declares i
practically nothing awl I have nothing
further to say abo - ut it. But thu platform
1 have read to you does contain a distinct
enunciation of certain principles which
treat of the rights of property and person
in the Territories, and what we regard to
be the equal rights of the States. And
we want to know if the people of Kentucky
are ready to meet the issue. We appeal
to you.—not in behalf of any individual,
—but to stand by our own principles,
founded on the Constitution of the Coon•
try.
Now irk be true that I am not a die-
unionist, awl if it be true that the politi
cal principles I advocate are not disunion'
principles, but are the principles of the
Constitution, is it not right hard to charge
disunion on sound men moth constitutional
principles ? [Cries of That's so."]
That, gentlemen, would seem to exhaust
the subject—" sound men with eon.titu
iional principles"—which principles I have
announced in the form recognized by
American politics, to be asserted by means
of the ballot box.
But a word on another subject. It is
said that although I am not a disunionist
and the principles I assert are not, yet
the object of the organization by which
have been nominated is to break up this
confederacy, awl I suppose they have
selected me as the tool with which to ox•
cent,: that scheme.
A Voice— -"
[Cheers,'
I have no doubt that a great many
gentlemen in the Southern States of the
Utrou think thattheir Constitutional rights

perhaps, pet se disunionist;, though I
doubt if there are fan such in the re:

Gentlemen, the charge of dkunion is
baseless. Advantage has beet/ taken of
!the cordial loyalty of the people of Ken
tacky, To the surprise and delight of the
I gentlemen who engaged in it, the scheme
took better than they expected; but I ant
satisfied that the sober second thought of
the people will recall them to the asser
tion of their principles. Kentucky Will
never abandon a principle which sho teas
declared to be the principle of the Consti
ution and the Union. [Loud applause.)
I will not answer the newspaper nem
, tuitions that this gentleman and the other
Igentlennin who have held extreme °pin
{ ions, support me—gentlemen of far more
extreme opinions support both the other
candidates. What it B. C. and D., whose
opinions you do not like, think better of a
certain set of principles than they do of a
certain other set of principles, or, if you
please, no principles at all, chose to vote
for us, are you going to put the stigma of
disunion upon one half the empire. There
;are disuniunists allover the country work•
ing to overthrow the Union. There arc
those who deny Constitutions! rights,—
who are engaged toolay in traznpling un
der foot the plainest rights guaranteed to
us by the Constitution. The Ooveritor of
Ohio refuses to restore a man indicted
for felony because he says it is no crime
under the laws of Ohio to steal a negro.
In the State of Wisconsin, a man who was
