So strong, NII - President, is my conviction of
the viniousneee of the principle of submitting to
a direet vote of the people the propriety of the
enaotMent or rejection of laws, that for one I am
prepared to extend the same objection to a sub
mission of entire constitutions to the same trib
uhal. 1 I know that others entertain different
views; and particularly under the peculiar cir
oumetances which existed sin Kansas after the
conveetion had concluded its taboret. Our pa
triotic President, anxious for the quiet and peace
of the country—desirous cf allaying all excite
oitement in relation to the affairs of Kansas—
prompt to take away even the shadow of an ex
cuse from the rebellious hands then hatching
treason in the Territory—was favorable to the
expediency of the submission of the constitution
to a direct vote of the people, though at all times
ulear in his own mind as to the right of the con
vention to determine that matter for itself. Be
lieving, however, as 1 do, that constitutions are
but laws, and that the enactment of one requires
as complete an exercise of sovereign power as
the framing of the other, there must he au ex•
traordinary combination of circumstances, iu
any case, to make me relinquish the convictions
- tibtoti I have carefully formed on this subject.
Independently of other objections to the sub
mission of entire coustitutioue directly to
epee
people, how can au intelligent vote be given by
those wheauttempt it If a constitution con
piste of fifty articles, and thirty of them accord
with a person's convictions, end twenty are more
ur less obnoxious, what is his vote at best, under
such circumstances, but a compromise ? How
can you have intelligent voting when fifty diverse
and unconnected propositions aro to be deter
mined by one ballot? Nay, more: it is very
easy to conceive such a thing as a probable re
sult, that, although each and every article, if
submitted one by one, would receive a majority
of votes, the whole, when presented together,
would by a combination be defeated. It seems
to me that even if there were no vital and car
dinal objections to such a course, the uncertainty
and unsatisfactoeiness attending it would be for
midable obstacles in the way of its adoption.
lf, however, the dignity and importance of a
constitution rise- superior to mere legislative en
actments, I ask if there is anything in the his
tory of the country—anything in the practice of
the founders of our constitutions, State and fed
eral, which teaches us that it is necessary that
even so solemn an instrument should be submit
ted to a direct vote of the people? What ques
tion could be superior in dignity or_ importance
to that of the adoption or rejection of the fed
eral Constitution ? States were celled on t I sur
render a portion of their sovereign powers, and
to give in some cases to the general government
the power of life and death over their own citi
zens. Thera were peculiar reasons, too, in addi
tion to all this, which might have been urged as
an excuse for the submission of the Federal Con
stitution to the people. The path pursued by
its framers had been untrodden before. All
• other federations had been failures. In Kansas,
on the other hand, the constitution is almost a
stereotype of those of the new States of the
northwest, which have sprung into power and
strength within the history of a few years. In
nine-tenth of its provisions it is similar to those
which have been approved by actual and suc
cessful working. Notwithstanding this matsr , al
difference in the two cases, in no instance was
the question of the adoption or rejection of the
Federal Constitution submitted to a direct vote
of the people of any of the thirteen States.
And yet it was adopted by the tmple. The in
strument itself says so. Every word of that
immortal document, from preanahle to conch'
&lon, was carefully scrutinized, and its force
weighed by men who well 1111,h:retook] the force,
of languege. Nothing wee put, in by mistake
or left; there by inadvertence.
They meant what they said. They said, not
only in words is the preamble, bat in substance
iu 'the body of that lost:min:et, that in the sys
tem which they then inaugurated for the per pet
• cation of freedom and the securing of domestic
tranquility in the new world, the act. of the rep
resentatives of the people should be deemed the
acts of the people themselves; and that, at least,
as far as national relations were concerned : the
people should ,express their convictions only
through representation if there be one grand
cardinal idea more than another stamped upon
the Constitution, it is that. So decidedly is that
the case, that the Constitution allows no amend
meat by popular vote, hut specifically requires
that ell changes shall he acted on by the legis
latures of the States In those days, at least,
the opinion prevailed without any contraction,
that when a constitution or other instrument
was adopted by the representatives specially se
lected to consider the subject, it was adopted not
only by the people who voted for those represen
tatives, but by every one who had an opportunity
to vote for them. The opiniou entertained at
that day, ea far as I can learn, has never been
'questioned by any respectable authority, until
anti-slavery agitation, for its eau purposes.
brought about the state of affairs now existing
la Kansas. Even during that other period of
anti-slavery agitation, when Missouri awl lied fur
admission into the Union as a State—when the
restriction was inipused whose removal I flavored
is the Kaueae•Nebia.ska aut. -- it was out con
tended either that a cuutititutiuu framed by rep
resentatives legally authorized to act was net the
act of the people of Missouri; or that it eras
necessary ur proper to submit the proposed eufi•
etitution to a direct Yule of the people. It way
reserved for later days, for those of our own
time, to start into being this new theory. lf it
be, as its friends and admirers claim for it, a
vital principle, why has it slumbered su long
without having been recognized even in debate?
Mr. President, it has always seemed to me that
thud who concede the legality of the Lecomptou
constitution and acknowledge the force of the
Kansas-Nebraska act, surrender the whole argu
ment. To reject an act flamed by a convention
which had the authority to pass it in that form,
is unquestionable intervention. It is the setting
up of our will against that of the people affected,
as expressed by a lawful and competent body.
It is saying to Kansas that our convictions shall
prevail against here, although the latter have
been announced in due form of law.
It will not do, at this late day, after astruggle
which convulsed the country from centre to
circumference, to say that the Kansas and Ne
braska act was nut an enabling statute, but only
amounted to an authority to petition for redress
of grievances. The people of Kansas, or any
portion of them, or any recognised body, legal
or illegal, would have had such a right inde
pendent of the Kansas act. Whatever may be
our view of present questions, let us at leeat
hold on to what we have gained in the past in its
fall integrity. The Kansas and Nebraska act
meant more than a mere petition for redress of
grievances. It had a far deeper significance and
import. It gave form and life to the Territories,
but left them, after the organization, perfectly
free to regulate their own domestic affairs,
through their own leg ally constituted governing
authority, suaject only to the Constitution of
the United States. If that means a bare au
thority to be heard in the form of a petition,
truly was the victory which we thought would
bring peace to the country barren and fruitless
I adopt no smell opinion. No such construction
was given to it in discussion. That act con
tained two great ideas which at the time received
my cordial approbation, and are no lees dear to
me now; they are, first, non-intervention, and,
secondly, acquiescence in the action of the
legally constituted governing authority, subject
to the provisions of the Federal Constitution.
To them will I hold so long as they stand in
plain, unmistakeable language, unre pealed, upon
the statute book, let whosoever may desert them
ur impair their force by fanciful interpretations.
I have said, Mr. President, there was no obliga
tion resting upon the convention to submit any
portion of the constitution to a direct vote of
the people. The convention, however, moved by
considerations of expediency, submitted whet
resting Governor Stanton called "the great die
tracting question " to the people of the Terri
tory. There was no dispute of any moment
save on the question of slavery. That Kanses
• ehould be constituted into a State; that it should
ha republican in form, with the usual division of
legislative, executive end judicial departments,
all were agreed The Lecompton convention,
acting upon this idea, submitted the only vexed
question, acid the friends of Topeka, true to
their former course of adieu, refused to vote.
They had proclaimed, before the constitution
was framed, that it was their purpose to reject
it, no matter what provisione it contained. Al
though accounting themselves the especialcharn
pions of freedom, they Buffered the slaveiy
clause to be incorporated in the constitution,
rather than vote for the remainder of a oonetitu
tion has been the subject of but little
complaint. In plain words, they refused to vote
because it was made by a set of delegates duly
elected under authority of law, inetead of being
made by another, elected in defiance of it.
They ended in faction what they had begun in
rebellion. By no act cf mine will I give aid,
comforlor countenance to any such movements.
It it be alleged that the " free State party," as
t termed itself, received pledges that the entire
• constitution should be submitted to the people, I
answer, in the first place, that they were un
worthy recipients of any such, if made; and,
secondly, that no one had any authority to make
any such save the einivention itself; and, if
made were extra- ottioial and void.
Even If I had been inclined to luck with favor
upon the policy of the submission of constitta ,
. tioas to a direct vote of the people, anti be-

removing from the arena of national politics this

that Territury.• No matter what had been my
personal convictions on the abstract matters
which have been the subjects of debate during
the latter part of the session, I should joyfully
have welcomed any proposition whose object was
to localize within oomparatively narrow limits
what ham been a cause of irritation to the whole
country. Such, I understand, is also the posi
tion of the peat party with whom it has ever
been my pride to act, and of the distinguished
statesman now the Chief Executive of the
Union. The present is not the first occasion in
which the Democratic party has stood in uppo
sition to agitation or faction. Heretofore it has
always been successful. I trust that the same
fortune awaits it again. No matter how fierce
have been the contests which it was waged, it has
always returned from the field of victory in
creased in power. What it has lost by defec
tion it has more than gained in permanent
strength. The history of the country is an
illustration of itli triumphs. To the almost
total exclusion of all parties it has impressed
itself upon the legislation of the country. Its
pen has written your statutes. No law which it
has pressed but has been adopted ; none that it
opposed, but has been defeated or repealed
Apostates, inflamed by disappointments, have
turned in new-born hate against it, and have
rended themselves. It has flung defiance to insult
from abroad, and has stood the champisn of the
constitution at home. It has added untrodden
millions of acres to your domain, and has made
the flag of the Union honored on every sea. To
the fortunes and progress - of that noble party I
intend to adhere. If it bo overtaken by defeat,
I know that it will rise again, with greater
ability to fulfil the mission which I believe Provi
dence has intrusted to its hands. That mission
. will never he one of alienation, discord or fac•
i Lion. It will be one of peace, of union, of
- progress.
To me it is a subject of uongratulatien that, in
the present crisis, we liive in the executive
chair a patriot whose firmness and courage have
been often tried. Ho belongs not is that class of
men whom excitement unnerves. Clamor has no
terrors for him. In the present case he has
calmly surveyed the whole field. He has taken
his position and entrenched himself there. He
has viewed the question before us in all its
hearings, and has decided in favor of no section.
He has recommended a course, which, if adopt.
ed, will prove a measure of peace to the whole
country. Hie counsel is eminently wise and
proper. lie has brought to the examination of
this matter a practical and sagacious mind,
thoroughly familiar with all the facts of the case.
He has announoed to ini with great clearness
what are his oonviences. 1 ti ust they will receive
the consideration to winch they are entitled, both
'from their intritte,i4 value and the distinguished

THE UTAWARILIY.
Two weeks later news have been received
from the army in Utah. The health of the
officers and men was excellent, and they
were unremittingly engaged in preparations
for a forward march, which it was expected
would take plaee about the 20th of May. It
was supposed that Captain Marcy, with hisl
mules and escort from New Mexico, and Russ
sal and Major, with an ox train of 115 was
gone, would soon reach Fort Bridger. The
grass on the plains was as far advanced as in
May of last season. Several hundred recruits
had arrived at Fort Leavenworth, and prepar-
ations for the early starting of reinforcements
continued unabated. Some had already gone
on—Colonel Hoffman's command of four com
panies and two hundred mule trains having
been met two hundred miles west of Fort
Leaveaworth. Tie only apprehensions of
Col. Johnson relate . to his supplies, which will
not last longer.than the first of May. An at
tempt was being made at Fort Laramie, where
there is a supply f r four months for three
thousand men. to send on a tram to Fort Scott
as early as possible. Colonel Johnson does
not propose to enter Salt, Lake City via Echo
Canon, but, will make a detour to the north.
The opinion is entertained that the Mormons.
will adopt a guerilla mode of warfare, and
that it will take a couple of years to subdue
them. une great difficulty relating to the
occupation of Salt Lake City by our troops
lies in the tact that all army supplies must
come from the States.

Mexican Affairs
The governmeut in Mexico, like all new
governments in that country, has obtained
some triumphs over the opposition factious
t has beaten thew in several battles, and
seems probable that it will be able to hold
sway for a few months. A longer period than
that for any Mexican governumt would be a
rash prediction. Osolo is the name of the
new victorious General who led the govern
ment troops to victory, and Parrodi is the
General whom he has beaten.
Gentlemen's Dress
Every man likes to be well dressed. Other
things being equal, good clothes are a prestige
of respectability. To secure neat, well fitting
garments you must deal with those who under,
stand bow to select goods, and who possess
both the taste and mechanical skill to adapt
them fittingly to your person. Mr. Archi
bald M'Farland, Merchant Tailor, at the cor
ner of Fourth and Smithfield streets, has
stock of goods of remarkable excellence o
quality and great beauty of style. He is an
experienced man of business and under..
stand's how to make his garment 9 fit his cus
tomers perfectly. Gentlemen who wish to sup

clothes, will find Mr. M'farland the right
kind of a man to deal with.
Wonderful Pens.
Dr. Warren some years ago, happened to be in
the shop of an eminent stationer in the Strand,
London, when a member of the House of Com •
mons purchased a hundred quills for six shillings.
When he was gone, the Doctor exclaimed : "0,
the luxury of the age ! Six shillings fora hun
dred quills! Why it never cost me a six t .ence for
pens in my life," " That is very surprising Doc
tor," observed the stationer " your worke aro
very voluminous."
" I declare," replied the Doctor, " I wrote my
Ecclesiastical History, two volumes in folio, and
my Dissertation on the book of Common Prayer
a large folio, both the first and second copies,
with one single pen. It was an old one when I
began, and it is not worn out now that I etc
finished." This story was spread abroad, and
the merit of this pen was esteemed so highly
that a celebrated Countess begged the Doctor
to make her a present of it. He with a short
history of the pen written upon it ; and placed
it in her cabinet of curiosities.
Byron wrote his celebrated poem (A - the" Bride
of Abydos" in one night ; and without mending
hie pen. This pen is yet preserved in the British
Museum.
John Elliott translated the entire Bible into
the Indian language, and wrote the whole of it
with one pen.

Before the era of [beetle pens, which have
caused a revolution in the art of writing, great
pains were taken in the preparation of pens,
and very extraordinary exclusiveness was in
dulged in by the writers. Some used only ostrich
feathers ; others were more ambitious ; still
others would only write with a plume from a
heron's wing, while the ladies used scarcely any
other description than crow quills.

aid over on the third reading.
THIRTY-i`/PTEL CONGRESS
Yesterday's Proceedings.
Mr. Slidell, of Louisiana, said that he had filed
with the Secretary, in Friday last, a written decla,
ration that he intended to reconsider his vote on dis
agreeing with the amendments of the house to the
Kansas bill, which yesterday and to day he renewed
verbally without taking action, and claimed his right
to keep back the bill for three days for that purpose.
Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, moved to enforce the
ardor, no single Senator having the power to thus
obstruct the public business.
Mr. Slidell referred to the rule, and insisted in his
right.
Mr. Bayard, of Maryland, explained the custom
in such cases, expressing the opinion that it must be
left to the discretion of the officers.
Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, could not recognize it as
a right, whatever it may be as a matter of courtesy.
The presiding officer, Mr. Fitzpatrick, assumed the
responsibility of a decision for his right, Mr. Crit
tendon and others testifying that they had never
known a previous Instance. Finally the matter was
laid on the table without action. This answered the
purpose of the administration men.
The Minnesota bill came up on special order.
Previous to its discussion, Mr. Fitch read an ex.
tract from the Glo b e, confirmatory of words exchang
ed between him and Mr. Douglas yesterday, imply
ing lake-warmness in Mr. Douglas in regard to Min
nesota.
Mr. Douglas warmly replied, asserting his zeal in
the cause of Minnesota was a matter of tri
lling import; but flat contradictions were interchang
ed and the matter was dropped.
Mr. Pugh moved an amendment to the preamble ui
the Minnesota bill, appealing to Mr. Douglas if he
was not aware that no man was allowed to vote ter
the Mlanooota constitution except on the same ticket
for State officers.
_ . .
Mr. Douglas explained that the at de of 5u1..0
sion waa full tair and free. The voters put NA , Lie.
UULLII3B they choose on the ticket, which did not coo
trot the vote in any way. . .
EventuallylMr. Pugh withdrew his sugges:ious re
specting the pre4mble, striking out the words " in
rursuance," and said act of Congress." The
preamble was thus agreed to, and no other alllcad
meet pending the bill was ready to be reported
to the Senate, but previously Mr. Kennedy ex
plained that he would vote against the bill because
the constitution of Minnesota was directly in varin
anee With the constitution of the United States, and
diarnetrically opposed to the party he represents; alien
suffrage and 'squatter sovereignty, he said, mutt he
repudie.ted. Flo made a strong Know-Nothing speech.
Mr Johnson, cf Tennessee replied, arguing the
right of States to fix the quantization of voters inde
pendent of federal naturalization.
The 2onate adjourned. -
The House went into Committee of the W hole, end
reauroed the Joueideration of the Deficiency Appro
priation bill.
The debate wee confined to the Lletleienoy Lill ;
while several showed the necessity of the passage of
the bill, including heavy items for the Utah expe
dition, etcers earnestly condemned incurring debts
to he discharged by appropriations for the supply of
deficiencies.
Mr. Seward did nut think that there was any no
cessity for getting into difficulty with Brigham
Young. The whole of the army operations were car
ried out on too magnificent aEt onto. He would have
a law passed prohibiting army officers coming here
unless for special reasons. This is a central pint,
whence emanates schemes of extravagance.
Mr. Taylor, of Louisiana, said tact nothing had
occurred to justify the President to cot with soon het
haste in sending au army to Utah.
Mr. Burnett said it is the growing disposition of
the Executive Department to absorb the powers at
the Legislature, and it was time that this was
checked.
Mr. Tappan condemned the appropriations fur the
Utah expedition, and would nut endorse executive
usurpation, making war without the co-operation of
Ccngress. He went into a calculation to show that
the transportation of each barrel of flour from Port
Leavenworth to Utah would cost one hundred del
lats.
The committee rose and the House adjourned.
