Mr. PRE:SIDNNT : The conAiEution K 9.118118, with all the eireumhtauces, is is believed, direut ly or remotely oouneoted with its formation, be ing now before us, the questic,a Is • SUN. the Territory ho admitted re N acute, under that in- strumeut ? • Ondeubtealy It is the policy of the govern ment .that her Territories should be converted into. States as repidly as a due regard to the welfare of their inhabit , tots will permit. This is alike the inters t of both-- of the general goy broment on the one hand, to be relieved from the local maintainanoe of the Territ2ries ; wed of the Territories, on the other, to no relieved from that interference of Congress which must unavoidably continue to exist, to a greater or tees extent, so long as they remain in tholipoon ditioh of dependency. Whilst a Territory is in Its infancy, unable through weakness--a pauci ty of iuhabitant4, sparsely settled, and of very limited means--to sustain itetlf, the propriety of extending over it the paternal care of the general government must readily bA admitted , ;but; 'whenever it has acquired sufficiency of strength to bear the burden of ito own support, ieis 'due to the rest of the community to be re lieved from it. Each State of the Union, under oar system of government, bas to maintain its own local orgrtuization, and why riot the Terri whenever they possess the ability? The only means by which this can be accomplished —the only way which has hitherto been devised , transferring. the sustenance of the Territory from the common to the local treasury, where it more properly be longs, is by admitting it into the Union as a State. What the exact expense maintaining cur Territories is it is not neces• eery to inquire. We know, however, that it must be very oonsiderable ; and that whatever it is, it is defrayed out of the national treasury of the States, whilst the States in addition have to sustain the charges of their own separate or. gsnizations. It is but right that every comma. nity shonld bear the burden of its own support, ;tad whenever a Territory, by the stt•ength of its &t umbers, has acquired that ability, its inhabit• :tats should not only he permitted to form their own separate government, but if they refuse, should be coerced into the measure by all fair and just appliances known to the Conetittrion The States have an interest in this, ivhich it is their right and their duty to protect. But there are higher and nobler nontlideratione than inert pecuniary ones involved in the ,rea- tion of new Statze. 'The addition of a State is an addition to the strength and atability of the Onion, riveting more firmly the bends that make uc one people ' and giving us increased con4e ituence, which is power it: the eyts of other no tions. Of the policy of tdmittini; new Sth.tt,... or of adding thtin as rap' tilY" oe po -r. surely canni t exist triLi .iiiio;on The geucc.,l policy, thereforr-, "r-iug i:i fiver of the admix -iiu of Kansas, the iota :iny arisi vr,Git. valid c i-c tion can]) urged 't The priacipa , o.• presented is, that he ouneiltutica before tu• we; tot, after its forrua;ion, submitted as an entirety a vote of the people, for their ratification or rejection. I have always favored, Mr. President, the lie trine of non-intervention. From the time c f its first enunciation by that eminent statesman now at the head of the State Department, up to the present hour, it has always found in me a sup porter and advocate. Eight years ago, when this chamber was illumined by the light of those great intellects of Kentucky, South Carolina, and Massachusetts, which have since gone out forever, we congratulated oureelvos and the country that, by the application of this principle in:the acts, organizing the Territories of New Mexico and Utah, we had established a practical rule of action for all time to come, in reference to the domestic ati.,,ire of the States and Terri tories, which should command, by its own in trinsic justuces, the approbation of the people of every portion of the Union, and should re lieve Congress for the future from those angry sectional strifes which, for the previous thirty years, had endangered the peace and perpetuity of the government The principle is eo just so admirably adapted to the spirit and ge nius of our hiatitutious, that my wonder is that it was cot earlier adopted, or being adopted that it should have afterwards encountered such vio lent hostility. Yet, eo it was; though it finally received the endorsement of both the great po litical parties of that day, it met for a time, nay, still meets with the fierce opposition of all that class of men who have been and yet are laboeiog to impose restrictions upon the free exercise of sovereignty in the Territories. Of the power of Congress to legislate for the Territories I have 'never entertained a doubt. it ithfu the limit; of the Federal Constitution their authority is supreme. Within ta se limits they possess the same power over the Territories 'lilt is exercised by the several States within their respective borders. But power is one thing -aged the expediency of its exercise another. Whilst Congress, in' my judgment, possesses the power, past experience has demonstrated how deugerous it is to the peace and .harmeny of the lioion for Congress to attempt its exercise in reference to the domestic affairs of the Territo ries. Its inexpediency was shown by the ill blood and bitterness which it generated within these walla and throughout the oountry. For relief and peace we turned to that rule of non intervention by which Congress has been since geverned,_and which has reoeived the decided approbation of a large majoriy cf the American peonle. With whatever zeal and energy I possessed, 1 sustained the principles of the Kansas and Ne hras4 act. By its provisions lam now ready 0 stand or fall. It meets nu lese the approval f my judgment now than when it was first urged upon the consideration of the Senate. I was then and am now ready to leare the people i the Territories free to decide their domestic tnnitutions for theingelves. lam se willing that they should select the mode, as that they should have the power of deeisien If I had thought when I sanctioned the principle that the people or Kansas and Nebraska should be free to de cide their domestic institutions for themselves, that I had intervened to prescribe the mode in which that &deject should be proclaimed, I should have done more than hesitate. I should have halted before I violated a principle in its very enunciation. Whilst declaring for non in tervention, I should never have been willing to intervene against it It is just as much an of fense against non-intervention that Congress ehoold require one piece of legislation as an other. It violates the theory upon which the act was based as much for Congress to prescribe the manner in which the constitution should be framed, and the requisites of its efficacy, as that they should r quire a provision affecting the do mestic interests of the Territory to be inoorpo rated in it. The only value of such a principle as runs through the Kansas-Nebraska act is its entire consistency and coherency. If violated, even remotely, Ito virtue is gone forever. It makes no difference by what instrument the out rage is effected, it matters not whether it be the voice of Jacob or the hand of Esau, if the soul of it, the vital principle which sustained. it and gave it both beauty and power, is violated. Who ever supposed when the Kanscs-Nebraska act was passed that. Congress would ever afterwards be troubled with the question as to the mode in which the constitution of Kansas was to be passed? Who believed that it woull be cause of of offense if it was adopted after the form of approved precedents ? If the matter of that constitution accorded with the Constitution of the United States, did we not put ourselves eel e.mnly on the record that would' not inter vene against it? Were we then, too. perpetra ting what has become so familiar a word of late in the vocabulary of certain senators, " a swin dle?" I sent forth the pledge to the country that I would not refuse the constitution of Kane eas, unless its provisions were iu conflict With the Federal Constitution_ That pledge I intend to redeem at all hazards. No objection is made, so far an I can learn, against any provision of that instrument as being contrary to the Constitution of e the United States. If there be any such, Produce it, and hold it up to public denunciation. If there be none such, lot those of us, at least, who said in effect that this should be the only ground of rejection, be silent &'l` FIVE DOM,AILS PlCit ANNUM, The only complaint made is as to the method of the making. Is there anything in the Con stitution of the United States which prescribes the mode in which Territories shall be initiated into the membership of States ? If there be any such clause my reeding Lao never shown it to me. If, then, the Federal Constitution does not prescribe the manner in which , the constitu tions 611$:di be made, and if there be nothing in the con•ititntion now presented which is in eon fliot with the Constitution of the United States, in all . sincerity and candor I ask, how can we, who agreed to make that the only test, refuse to admit Kansas into the Union ? No law of Con- grass, no regulation mode by the legislative au• thority of the Union, has been violated or evaded. The properly constituted and legally authorized civil power of Kansas, after full proclamation of its purposes, adopted this constitution In the way in which other Constitutions have been ad op ed,and in the way approved by the philosophy and genius of our government. Nay, more the legislature of Kansas in its procedure took counsel from this body, and framed, both in principle anti detail, the act calling the constitu tional convention upon the model of the bill of the Imeorable senator from Georgia, (Mr. Toembe, ) which received the decided approval of the Senate. It secured to the bona fide inhabi tants of Kansas a fair election of delegates. It provided for a registry of the legal voters of. the Territory. It did everything that a bill could do to effectuate the purposes that ware stamped upon the face of it. Accidental or wrongful omissions by the sheriff could be remedied by the probate judges. _There was no legal voter in the entire Territory who could not avail himself of tie provisions of that fair and honest act ender which the, election was held and delegates esen No hostile bayonets drove freemen fr en the pelle--no despotie•ne sat there enthroned to dictate the vote. The act of the territorial _. - ;stature of Kansas calling the convention has eitorted, even from unwilling lips, the ootn meedatione of praise. The honorable senator from (Mr. 'Douglas) himself uses the f !Towing language • "So fares the act of the ter torial legislature of Kansas calling this non ventinn was concerned I have always been under the impression that it was fair and just in its provisions 1 have slways thought the peo- ple should have gone together en mane and voted for delegates, so that the voice expressed by the ootiventi9n should have been the unquestioned and united voice of the people of Kansas. I have always thought that those who stayed assay from that election stood in their own light, oul should have gone and voted, and should have furnish‘al their names to be put on the register ed list so as to boo , me voters. I have always bold that it was their own fault that they did not thus go and vote; but yet, if they chose they had a right to stay away." Under the provisions of the law calling the convention, the people of Kansas were left en tirely free to form their own domestic institu ti,,as If perverseneas and faction there and where dictated a policy which kept eitlirr uacti , y or majority from the polls, the fault :Oa the rfrendet , only Their mouths, at .re qP - egsin,t a omaplaint It does .?0 , them to eere • before 1.1).4 coil-airy de n eititelog nu act which aooerlieg to their Own War. , rerforni, 1 in their presence, and which, hey say, they hat the power to prevent. if any outrage was pnrpetrated it was, aceord ing to their own statement, the outrage of a rainority in the face of a majority, proceeding quietly to exercise rights which had been con ferred by virtue of law. Which of these two closes is entitled to our respect of consideration ? 'Those 'e;Jo in obedience to law, expressed them eel es at the ballot-box, like loyal citizens, or these who stayed away for the known purpose .if 'ormenting a rebellion. whose stand and had al ree.dy been lifted to the Territory ? This latter Giese viewed a legal constitution as a calamity worse than murder and rapine. Topeks' was di,er to them, becanac it was illegal. TO in. augurate Topeka under the forms of law would Lo to ignore the very purposes for which Topeka wrei apoke into existence. To them Topeka was °llly a darling so long as he was a bastard-the bar sinister endeared him—the proposal to crown him with the honors of legitimacy was worse than a " swindle." If the adoption under the forms of law of a ounstitutiou similar to that of Topeka had not, in the opinion of the non-voting population of lianas, boon the grentf. , st tr.lamity that could be fell the authors of that instrument, and the t.:11,59 for which it wi.s gotten up, they Would have quietly, under the protection of law, voted t the election for delegates to form a conatitn Lieu. Their first purpose being a determination I 3 • keep up anti-slav ry agitation, they deter loined to make every other thing bend to it. Ac ,,,r,lingly, they refused to vote, and in some eases, forcibly prevented the registration; and how, with a sublimity of impudence which is without a parallel, sot up their own perverseness ;Led faction as a reason for defeating the ex p”e..sed will of the voting population of the Ter ritory. Nothing, Mr. President, can be clearer to my mind than the proposition that the act of dele ge tea legally elected, and acting within the scope of the powers conferred upon them, is the act of the people themselves. According to the genius and theory of American constitutions, it is en tirely immaterial by what majority such .dele gates are elected, or what number of voters ap peered at the polls.. The act of the delegate, moving within the authority conferred upon him, is the act not only of those who expressly de puted him, but of those wholiad the opportunity to 11 so. it stands as the act of all such until legally Bet aside or modified by competent au z hority. This principle is a maxim both of law end political science The' representative ideals the especial boast anti glory of our system It is both its corner and keystone. More than any thing else It distinguishes our system from those which have prevailed in other stages of the world's history. Its stands midway between dee poliem and popular caprice. It protects against bath. It gives stability and intelligence to gov erDroent. To it, more than to any other cause, = ore indebted for whatever of glory and power iv- gathered around the American name. whilst it recognizes and adopts the great priooi pi- r.f Democracy that the people are the source tin 1 origin of all political power. it so modulates led controls that doctrine as to make it subser vient to the purposes of justice and right. Oar f itirrs did not stumble on it by accident. It was no sudden thought even. It was born of wisdom. It was introduced into our State and frkteral constitntione, and made a practical power by men who had studied the past and faun 1 lut its true teachings. If the domain for whir h they were framing a system•of government 11341 , n as narrow in its limits as ancient Attl ee, t'l. / still would have adopted it. ET p, rience has fully vindicated thlr sagacity. Ti, t ley regarded this great principle not only as jU 1. but as the only practicable one, is easily even a careless observer. Under the -Nt, 11 devised by them majorities were not only pr. Rented, but Eections and even minorities. ee•rh under federal and State constitutions, mi eoeities may_ have the representative control Tee majority never has that neutral unless it takes care to have itself represented. Sometimes ev , .n that control is expressly prevented. Dela ware on this floor is made as potential as New ell - . In the more popular branch even, he who ri pre.ente the convictions of a majority exceed ing Ave thousand has no more power in the en actment of laws than a colleague who may have t•deceeded by a majority of OWN No Majority e so large can imprese itself upon legislation eleopt by first controlling the representation. No matter how unanimous public sentiment may be, no matter how strongly a conviction may have fastened itself upon the people, they are utterly and entirely powerless for all the pur poses of legislation, except through the medium of representation. The representative opinion may be in ;rattlect with the popular voice—an overwhelming majority may raise an indignant protr et against the expressed legielative will, yet it stands as controlling law until set aside in ac? cordanos with legal forms. He Who supposes [het the opinions of a majority, even when clearly expressed, necessarily makes the law.; h a s mistaken the whole theory of our govern meet. That majority, before it can make itself effeo•ual, must fix upon its representative and clothe him with the authority to "epeak in its be half at the proper time and place. Not only is this so, but all of our constitutions and ohartere, federal, State, and municipal, are based upon the theory, that whenever the people, or any portion of theni navehad an oPportuni y of voting and neglect or refuse to do so, the only fair and proper preaumption is that either they ..',.4k7r. , '1;1::;..:0,:.'... , :,-.';. 1 tis yy..~~: Y„+ ~3c N UMBER 14 have no convictions whioh they wish to elpees.e or that they acquiesce with those who have voted This presumption is so absolute that for uiee end proper reasons it is not allowed to be o.n:era:diet el, no matter what may be the facts. A e l o m b er of the House of 13. , preseree017:3' be returned by a single vote.

In bile n; t, tc would be no sort of objection to the * - didity- er force of a law passed by his vote that every man In his triet was opposed to its passage. As far as the federal gt vernment is concerned, there Is no contrivance known to the (lenatitu don by which the power of making lava of any kind, fundamental or not, one be transferred from the representative to the people. No amount of public sentiment onteido the legisla tive Italie can enact such a law. The function of legislation must be performed by to representa tive, and by him alone The purpose of our fathers was, on the one hand, to remove logisla • Lion as far as practicable from clamor and sud den gusts of passion, and on the other, to pro serve that accountability of the representative to the people, whieh in I,.lwoys sure to secure, sooner or later, the fullest and amplest recogni tion of popular sentiment. The good sense and sound judgment of the country, I believe, is pre pared to sustain this principle, not only iu the making of ordinary legislative acts, but in the framing of constitutions. The better opinion now seems to be, that State legislatures cannot refer the.propriety of a passage of a law to the vote of the people. My own State bee taken de. cided ground on this question. She was unwil ling to let the matter rest upon argument, or judicial decision. She has incorporated a pro vision in her constitution I; high e7.pressly pro hibits the submieslon of a. proposed law to the vote of the people. She believed that represen tatives, elected by the people and accountehle to them, cortstitu'.ett the only pi eper body for do. termining the propriety of legieletive acts. She was unwilling even to allow that body to divest itself of that foliation. She took the effectual means of real...lug sure and fized the renponsi bility of the reeresentmive, by fastening upon him a duty from which no power above or below him could relieve him. la this principle of the oubMission of impor tant provisions to a direct vote of the potpie who are to be affected by them grows out of the the ories upon which our goverrenent has been es tablished, why, then it is ignored in federal and State constitutioue, and by solemn judicial deci sion? If the prineiph3 be so cesential, why has it'not been authoritatively recognized somewhere? If, as has been claimed, this right of the people to decide thready by what provisions they shall he governed, be a great pemoiple tvhicb flews directly from our form of government, why, I ask, has the practice, been almost Invariably otherwise Y The truth is Mr President, that this principle so confidently claimed, instead of being salutary, is vicious. It bee beet so pro ;Jounced by those wise Welk who gays form and vitality to the glononti goverement under which we are new enjoying privileges and blessings un known to any other people on earth. The true. American idea is, that legislation, whether it be in the ordinary form as CO:tettiil by legislatures, or in the establishment of the fundamental Litre as enunciated by State constitution,, should be fully consummated by men selected by the peo ple for that very purpose. It maitre no'differ mace in principle whether the thing is to be done be the enactment of an ordinary law or the et:- tablishment of a cout3thntion. They are both of the same class. They both constitute the law. They both establish a rule of action. The phil osophy of the one is the philosophy of the Diller If there be more solemnity in one procedure , than the other, that C 1063 not eff:ot the prinoipl , .— Both regulate the coetaret of the citizens, and are to be determined by one and the came rea son. In point of feet, ordinary legislative note are of more moment to the citizen ad-determin ing his actions and fixing his reepcnsibilites than mere constitutional provisions They read his person and his hearthstone. They define his rights, prescribe his duties, and point out hie reme'lies. Their hand is upon him, asleep or aw'ke. They aro above him and tireued his panoply and shield. Tee nearest as well as the most distant relations of human life are made subject to their power. The rights of proper y, the eanotitles of home, nay of hie and desth, are all within their embracing fold. No subject is too high, none too tender,noue too minute for their reach Although each varied and interests are confided to le,gielittivo bodies, it hati only been within a few years past, and then only at rare intervals, that the preposition of stfomuting a law to the direct vote of the people bas been seriously considered. I he'd it to he the clew Mist departnre from the wisdom of our fathers which modern days with their new ideas have produc ed. I stn proud that my own 'State has put its errphatio peal of coudeamation upaii e heresy no noxious.
