1 the intention is, nut Only to farce a cons titution on
the people of Kansas which they never adopted, but
to place over them rulers uud law-makers who were
never elected by their votes. The uncertain result,
not of ihe election, but of the future decision of John
Calhoun, is the chief obstuele to amicable adjustment
of the whole Kansas difficulties. To avoid this my
bill has been especially framed. 1 provide that Gov
ernor Denver, iso honest m in, who has the confidence
of al. parties, shall be required to call an extra sea
sion of the Territorial Legielreure, a legally elected
body, whose term of office does not expire until next
October, and that the Legislature shall provide for
the election of delegates te a convention, who i ea:l
assemble at a time and place fixed in the act, iind to
this ocnvention the Lesompton constitution shall be
submitted for amendment. If the convention re
fuses to amend the constitution it shall go into ope
ration as it is. If, however, the convention propose
amendments, such amendments shall be submitted to
a vote of the people, in such manner that the several
amendments can be voted for or against by each
voter separately. These amendinetite which have a
majority of the votes in their favor shall be iucorpo
rated in the constitution ; aid from and after the ter
mination of these proceedings, Kansas shall be one
of the States of this Union.
This avoids all the clumsy machinery provided for
in the Lecompteu constitution, and places the repro.
seutatives under uune of the terrors of violating the
oaths required by its provisions. This bill is farmed
in exact contermity to the suggestion of the Presi
dent, as contained in his late message. The Presi
dent says:
The will of the majority is supreme; they can
make awl unmake cunatitutit us at pleasure. It
' would he absurd to ray that they can impose fetters
upon their own Waver which they cannot afterwards
remove. If this is true, they might tie their own
hands for a hundred as well as ten years. These are
fundamental principles of American freedom, and ere
recognized, in some form or other, by every State
constitution. And if Ceneress, in the act of admis
sion should think proper to recognise them, I can
perceive t.o objectieu to such a course."
This right to alter or amend their constitution, as
contended for by the President, is recognized in my
bill. It secures the people no right they do not al
ready possess, according to the President's argument,
and, therefore, there can be no objection on the
grounds that we are conferring extraordinary privi
leges, and intervening in the affairs of the Territory.
There id nut the slightest intervention. We do not
add to or take from the constitution. We neither
interpret its provisions nor fetter it with provisens,
but we recognize, in an unquestionable form, the
power of amendment, and then. leave the people
"perfectly free" to amend the constitution, or not,
at their pleasure. Pass this bill, and in ten Joey: ,
thereafter peace and prosperity will prevail through
out Kansas; and in ninety days her member will fill
a seat on this fl Air. If gentlemen desire a safe, sat
isfactory, and speedy settlement of the troubles in
Kansas, let them help to puss this bill, not because
it is mine, but because it is right. It rests on c a r
rect principles; dues injustice to no section of the
Union. It obviates all the difficulties I have pointed
out in the Lecompton constitution; it frees us from
the charge of forcing - a constitution on an unwilling
people, and unites and harmonizes all discord in the
great Democratic party of the North. Reject this
bill, drag Kansas into the Union, and:the must fear•
ful consequences may ensue. Civil war may deluge
the Territory with blood, and the brow of the triune
may grow dark with fearful events, the end of which
none living now may see.
Permit me to ask southern members what they hope
to gain by forcing on the people of Kansas a consti•
tution which has never received their approbation,
a - d which almost one third of the delegates of the
Lecompton convention repudiated end refused ti
sign ? Slavery never can exist long in Kansas. Pub
lic opinion, the soil, climate, and productions, all
combine to drive it out. You may continue, by the
extraordinary provisions of the Lecompton Constitu
tion, to fasten it there for a time, but it will eventu
ally die out like a sickly exotic. The violence of the
'agitation occasioned by the convulsive efforts of the
people to cast out the offensive intruder, may shake
the foundations of our great Confederacy. Sectional
bate and party hostility will destroy tie ladi vestige
of that fraternal feeling which should bind together
the people of the North and the South. You will
break down and destroy that great national party
which in all the years of the past has, with its sifting
arms, held the national Union together.
In the name of that glorious Democracy, let rue
implore you to pause tefora it ie toe...late. -.'lleink of
the hallowed memories which crowd areute4 the past
history of that party. There is no event of which
we feel proud as a native, or which excites th.e admi
ration of our own or other people, clinch was-not the
achievement of a Democratic head or hand. - Go to
the battle-fields of the Revolution ; and as you etaud
on the sod once crimsoned with the blood of brave
and true hearts, remember that the men who fought
and died there were the sturdy Democracy of the rev
olutionary time. Turn to the Declaration of lade
pendence; and as you read its solemn truths, you
will remember that its author was the first great
apostle of American Demeoracj. Take up the Con
stitution of the United States; and as the wisdom,
justice, and liberality of Its admirable provisions and
generous compromises challenge your admiration, the
name of James Madison, its Democratic dretteman,
will some bask with .its rich inheritance of fame.
Elevate your vision and look abroad over our glorious
country-860 on the map the contracted limits of the
old thirteen States, and behold it now extending
from / ocean to ocean; and remember that every mere
of that vast domain was secured by Democratic wis
dam, foresight, and legislation. The broad sweep of
the boundless prairie, the swelling hillside, and the
mountain summit, are each proud t.uriumente if
Democratic wisdom, whilst the
" Meanest rill, rho mightii,st river,
Roll mingling with its fame forever."
The battle field is red with Democratic blood shed in
defense of our country's honor. The deep sea hes
heard the roar of Democratic cannon, but has uever
seen our country's flag go down in equal fight.
Permit me, then, to implore you, with the memory
of the past so fresh upon us, that by no act of f dly
and injustice, by no measur4 ef _tyranny end oppres
sion, you stain the hitherto untarnished reputation,
and paralyze the power, of that proud old party.
Ohl let it stand in the future as it has stood in the
past, like a roes in the sea, against-which the waves
of fanaticism will break in vain. Aud when we have
given the inheritance we received from our fathers to
those who come after us, its strength will he unini
paired, its glory unstained, and its freedom un

quantity of reading matter, consisting of the
great speech ot Bon. William Montgomery,
recently delivered in Congress, an editorial ar ,
tick on "Democratic Integrity," a full report
of the proceedings of the Anti4.ecompton
meeting last night, besides local, telegraphic,
and commercial news. We must beg the kind
indulgence of our advertising patrons for this
occasion, as many of their favors arc unavoid•
I ably crowded out.
DEMOCRATIC I NTEGIMIT
The integrity of the Democratic party—its
firm adherance as a national party to the
great fundamental principles of human liber
ty which it advocates--cannot be shaken by
any ingenuity or sophistry of those who so
strongly desire, and who have labored so hard
for its disruption. For a long series of years
the opponents of the Democracy have left no
means untried to make breaches in the walls
of our party, through which the citadel of
Democratic integrity might be assai'ed. They
have not succeeded, because we who have
ever battled for the rights of the whole coun
try, have been willing to meet by fair and
manly compromise all differences which have
arisen in our own ranks. When Democrats
have differed in opinion as to m°asures of
public policy, those who were in the majlrity
'have not consigned to oblivion and political
disgrace and ruin the minority who differ.—
Teey have reasoned together, and each part)
yielding something of its opinions, the gen ,
eral welfare has been thereby promoted.
In seeking after the truth it must necessarily
happen, that different minds may arrive at
different conclusions. The field of argument
is an open one, and honest differences of opin.
ion may be discussed among these who are en
gaged in the same ineat cause without ir•jury
to that cause. Strong assurance of being in
the right makes the democracy bold, and in
attaining the great ends at which they aim,
they do not fear to speak freely among them
selves upon the course of policy to he pursued
in reaching these ends.
But this democratic freedom of discussion
arises from au earnest desire to search out the
truth, and advocate the right, and if the
Philistin sof the oppoeltion choose to rejoice
at it, they may do so, and welcome, for it is
this spirit of forbearance and compromise, and
this desire to seek out the truth and tip the
right, which must ever continue to keep the
Democratic party pre-eminent ii, this great
nation.
But when hove-t differences of (Timm,
arise among Democrats it is eminently fitting
that their discussions among themselves should
be so conducted as not to give, "aid and coins
fort" to the common enemy. Freedom to think
and to speak and act should not be permit
ted ttrale - geterat&into personal bitterness and
oppositioubetween membera el the same party.
We should deal gently with that which may
" cause a democratic brother to offend." In
settling their. differences of opinion, and iv
agreeing upon .sucli action as may be deemed
best for the general geed, no democrat should
deny to his fellow the right to think and act
for himself.
We look 'upon the Democratic party as we
regard' a jury. Upon the great national, ques
tions of the day, it is its province "to hear
the evident() 'and listen to the arguments " on
all aides, and then to agree upon a verd•ct,
and when a conclusion is arrived at, the people
who are themselves the judges, will maintain
and enforcesit.
In times like the present when a great excit
ing political struggle exists, it is peculiarly ne
cessary that„Democrats should take counsel
of their betthrjudgmen ts, and by calm reason
ing arrive safely and surely at amicable results
Everything calculated to promote bitterness
and personal hostility between the members
of the same party should be cautiously avoided.
The press should be temperate in its tone, and
the idle talk about "reading from the party,"
those who differ from us in opinion, should be
entirely avoided. Reason, not epithet nor
condemnation, should be used.
The interests of the American nation are as
varied and extensive as our vast territory.
Oar whole political history has been one of
compromises ad compacts, where all had to
yield something of individual opinion, honesty
ly entertained, for the sake of the general good-
It must continue thus, as long as men continue
to differrinppinion and ha influenced by differ
entrietial, local, and state interests. To pre
seavi'4irederal compact like ours, it is impos
sible but that all the parties thereto must yield
something for the general weal. When this
principle of compromise shall cease to Latin
ence thepeople, the Union mast be destroyed,
and it is the Democratic party alone, which
. by weserving its integrity, must battle with
and overcome that faction and fanaticism which
vaauld shake the Union to its centre, and pre
vent the very provisions made to guard the
rights of the citizen into an instrument of
tyranny. We must trust each other; we must
put confidence in true men who have fought
with us, shoulder to shoulder in so many hard
won battles, and in entrusting the Democracy
with its momentous interest, the nation will
find that it has not confided in a Punic faith
like that which delivered over Carthage to in
famy.

OF FAVFTTE u,.1; tit Y
THIS PIORNENIG , S PeFit
MEETING 16 NiGUI
In this view of tho present espeot of politics
we deprecate anything which may be eaten
tatod to disturb the harmonious spirit of the
Democracy. or to enfeeble the spirit ot com
promise which has ever been the great bul
wark of our forty. In the progress of politi
cal struggles like that which is now at its cm
initiating point in this country, public de
monstrations, exciting political harangues,
Aitter denunciations, and venomous newepa.
'per Viticles can do no good, and many do mach
harm.. We believe the great principles of the
Democratic party to be right; we claim the
great moral power of being in the right and
forcing our opponents to be the ag giessora,
if aggression there mast be, and for us a quiet
appeal to -the reason, and judgment of each
individual is a more potent weapon to defeat
our opponents and maintain harmony in our
ranks, than excitement and enthusiasm. We
are not engaged in the melee of" a political
campaign, where exciting public demonstra
tions and enthusiastic rallies are necessary to
rouse oar forces, to defeat the combinations of
an opposing faction, and such appliances are
not necessary in the settlement of this most
perplexing, and from the start, embarassing
Wahl= e‘ Elia admiadeu of, ma. If theta
ever i- a period when 1!_.0 eit teed of the
patriotic citizens were neeeasari in their high
est development, 't i now. The difficulties
which present themselves, 'cannot be overcome
unyielding dogmatism. On all hands some
pride of opinion mast be surrendered, and this
is hard to be accomplished where each man
feels, and believes his opinions are right, but
the good an i the wise aed the considerate look
upon their duty to the whole country, as pare , .
mount to every other consideration and are
ready to surrender somewhat for the welfare
of all, and the accomplishment of a great
general good
But we are by no means alarmed for the
safety and integrity of the Democratic party
by the occasional meetings. speeches, demon,
etrations and resolutions, like that of the City
Hall last night, which the Democracy are oc
casionally holding in various parts of the
country. Such movements only the more
firmly convince us of the value, the strength,
and the progressive spirit of the great Demo
cratic organization of the country. They
prove that the body of the party is determined
to investigate for themselves, and seek out the
truth and the right. It proves a great com
mon interest among the people, and they wish
to reason and advise upon the proper means to
promote that interest. It shows that the Dem
ocracy are willing to reason even with fanat
icism, and by meeting the arguments of ul
traists upon the threshold endeavor to shake
that most ungovernable impulse of the human
heart —the pride of opinion. Differences of
opinion, we know, must be tolerated. Men's
minds are not so constituted that they can
march like an army in !ocked tep to the same
conclusion, and those differences must be borne
with and respected, else divisions will ensue
beyond the centralizing power of our great
national principles to heal. The fair and
manly, and temperate discussion of the mode
of settlement of any of the various questions
which arise in the policy of the nation, is a
right —an individual right—which no human
power, thank God, can sile:ce. No Democrat
however, strong his speech, or warm his advo
cacy of his own peculiar views has either the
intention or desire of deserting the well proved
political faith of his fathers to follow the new
ism of the bankrupt and dismembered oppoi
sition—at least we know of none, and no act
nor opinion of curs shall contribute to such a
result. We do not entertain the most remote
fear of disintegration nor demoralization of
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania, from
any diflerences of opinion which may exist
upon isolated question of national policy,
so long as a decent respect is awarded to the
individual opinion, and a small amount of
charity is extended to those Democrats who
may differ in opinion from the President, but
whose sources of information which produced
their convictions are equal to his. We have
no burning threats, no hitter denunciations
to fulminate against those who differ with us
in opinion. Oar ettorts are directed towards
saving—not distracting that party which we
believe to be the salvation of the country.
Our vocation is to appeal to the understandings
and judgments—riot to excite the passions of
men. Whilst we refuse to be any man's slave,
we aunt to be no man's master. We will a,l•
vise and coun4el not dictate,
Those arnoog the masses of the people who
&tier iu opinion with the administration upon
the proper mode of settling the Kansas ditriN
culty, cannot he charged with mercenary or
ambitious motives. Such charges can only
b.) laid at the doors of disappointed poi ticians,
or those who hope to crawl edgeways into po
litical poOtton. The people are loyal. Virt:,
have no fear of the correct action of the masses.
The Democracy wll ever rally. around the
flag of our union, regardless of all personal
differences.
We find names appended to the organiza
tion of the meeting last evening in the City
Hall, whose democracy and whose atthchnsent
to the party and its great principles, can
not be doubted—men upon whom our party
has leaned in many a severe contest—who
halve never faltered, and whose political ortho
doxy is beyond suspicibn or reproach. The
position which they have assumed we are
bound to believe, has been taken from motives
of sincere regard for political truth, and a
warm desire for the general good. No man
has a right to animadvert upon the course
they have chosen to pursue upon this ques
tion. Yet they and those, who differ with
them are alike Democrats, and when the great
cause of Democracy in Pennsylvania shall call
for their services in the future, all will be
found heart and hand laboring for the common
good—guided by the great Democratic axiom,
" the greatest possible good for the greatest
possible number" of those who enjoy the com
mon blessings 01 our government.

HOUSE OF REPRY.SENTITIVES
... -
Mr. Clark, of New York, said the voice of the peo
ple of Kansas comes in unbroken tones, protesting
against her admission under the Lsoompton Consti
tution. She ought not to be dragged into the Union
as a convict in chains. He would vote for measure
which would secure justice and peace in Kansas, and
exonerate the Democratic party from censure for
forcing a Coostitation upon the people of Kansas that
they abhor.
Mr. Kilgore opposed, in addition to other reasins,
the admission of Kansas, as a slave State, because of
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
Mr. Stewart, of Maryland, argued in favor of Le ,
compton.
Mr. Buffington said if Kansas had been admitted
with the Topeka Constitution the pesent difficulties
would not exist. The arms of the Federal Govern
ment, instead of protecting the people from crime
and disorder, had been employed to sustain the mi
mority, until the executive power; instead of being
respected and loved as a friend, is slighted and do•
tested as an enemy and oppressor. He spoke of
the
injustice, fraud and tyranny practised on the Free
State men, which is now crowned by an attempt to
force slavery on an unwilling people, and this under
the plea of popular sovereignty by a party calling
itself Democratic.
The House adjourned.

chairs, the governor, so as to cut off a I hopes of Cc
cape. Gen. Gundara bad massacred all the prison
ers captured, and proclaimed that ho would hang
Gov. Peroheira, if taken.
o.her letters say that Fort Yuma and the El Paso
wagon road were progressing finely.
The people on the Rio Grand were much interest
ed in the success of the Arizona Territorial Bill be
fore Congress, which includes the territory occupied

ecutive Session to•day, confirmed the appointment
of Col. A. S. Johnson, commanding the Utah Expo
&thin, as Brigadier General.
The House was so mach interested in the speech
of Mr. Clark, of N. Y. that by unanimous consent be
was allowed to poutinue his remarks beyond tbu
hour.
The amendments of the Renate Committee on Mil.
itary Affairs of the House Volunteer bill are compar.
itively unimportant as to the general featnrea, hat
they are to affect the Quarter Master's department.
There is but little, if any doubt of its passage.
