THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS.
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,...

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

if any outrage was pnrpetrated it was, aceord

quietly to exercise rights which had been con

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

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

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

person and his hearthstone. They define his
rights, prescribe his duties, and point out hie

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,

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
