His presence among us on this occasion is an agreeable mon itor of the extent of that glorious march of republican iibeity, which began three quar ters of a century atro under the banner of In dependence, lirst reared upon the very. sp--)t j on which we are now gathered, conspicuous for liishigh ahilitie- and indomitable energy, which have won for hiui au honorable faun at an ea:!y age, his patriotism has been illustra ted by the sternest trial,, and to borrow the language of another in reference to a brother Senator, upon a very difierent occasion, I may gay, without fear of exaggeration, that "he would have tlone for a Senator of Rome when Home survived." - 31r. Douglas then spoke as follows: Mr. President and Ftlioir Citizens! 7h'!?

On the 4th of July. '7G, from the place where I now stand, cur forefathers i Ice lured that J'These Cob i:ies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States." That was the starting point. Thirteen British colonies were on that day converted into thirteen independent American Sta tes. The language is clear and explicit. The causes which led to the separation, and the in structions which the several colonics gave to their delegates in the Congress, prescribing tlie condi tions upon which the declaration of independence was to he niaile, clearly allow why this enipiiatic language was used. Tiie tolonies did not, in tin first instance, demand independence They were willing to acknowledge their allegiance to the liii tish ci .we., provided they were left free to manage and regulate their own internal au'airs and doim s ttc eoiieerus in their own way, witliout the intcr-f-iet.ceor dictation of the Imperial Guvemmert. They were wiiliug to recoimize the right i-f Great T'ritain t irrant colonial charters, like the organic laws of our Territorial t'e comments, by which the people of the colonies might make their own laws thr ' their representatives in then- 1 -cal legislatures. but they solemnly protested against tlie right of i tlie Imperial Parliament, in which they had no representation, to wike laws, auecang tlieir per sons and property without their consent. Upon this point the separation took place, and the D. c-la.-aii n of In.lci.-T.d. nee winch v.-u have hist heard read, declare-1 the fhirt-'-n colonics to be J "free and indepe;; lent States." But before the j 1 ed '.ration was male, the colonies t'avc itislrtv- ! tir-ns to their delegates, prescribing the condiri- ! , ' upon whi' t'on Ti:tv i each would consent t such a i tc i-ti ucfi' .ns a!l pr s-ri it:.;!i tl at ea.-h colony e the f :r:i'a slmll havr-the i:c:::lal Cee.i'.i Ti;'lt t TiJ l:i i .:eir liner :.r:.-:' -OV.-.. . .t , lotnc Tiro- .. . r: c rhcru ;h:d!

The pretensions of the a bo- j litionists in tiiis respect are rendered preposterous ( by the terms of the C :ii-titutiou itself. Thtf idea ! ci either esabMshiug or ahulUhing extending or ! cTTcumscribing slavery by the G.nstltntl..ii of the j Unite-i States or by th.e action of tl-e f. I.-r.d go- ( vei-nment, never entered the brain r.f the framr-rs . of the Comthtiti-.n. African slavery, whether ri-'l.t or wrone, w Is- -r unwise, wo at that time existing in twelve of the thirteen States. The in stitution w.s planted by the Ihiti-h government j in each i the thirteen ce.h.nies without their con- I f-er.t ard atrainst their lemonstraiiees. The war i of tie revolution -t-nvertcd the dej Kftidont cob i lies intoindepr-udent States, wi1 .ut changing or'nf-j fcf tins; the relat t.s existing l.:-tween the master and slave. Slavtry ceased to exist in ope of the ' States, but still remained in fill the others, Fenn- j svlvama it led at the time the Constitution eft ni' the United States was formed. With the few exceptions expressly provided for in that instrument, it was the design of the Con stitution to recognize and protect w'hatcver lnsti- j tutiou each State acting for itself, laid or should establish or legalize. The people of each State , were left entire!- free to choose for themselves i what kind of domestic institutions they weaihl t have, and so soon and so long as each State should ! thus determine, it become the duty of the Federal ; government, under tlie Constitution, to protect such institutions in the several States, as they j should he found to exist. For instance, rennsyl- : vania w as a slaveliolding State :tt the time of the i adoption of the Constitution, ami remtiined so ; more than a quarter of u century before tho insti- ; tution closed under the decree of her own poep!e. j So long as Pennsylvania continued to legalize , slavery hy her own laws and Constitution, the i Constitution of the United States recognized and ' protected the institution of slavery within her li mits, as solemnly ami imperatively as :t now recognizes and protects the prohibition which i Pennsylvania has imposed on slavery within her own limits. The same remark is applicable to New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, llhode Is- . laud and New Hampshire. Each of those States proto-eta.l shivery within their limits at the time i and f.r a long period subsequent to tlie adoption : of the Federal Constitution ; and each of theni has abolished and prohibited slavery without the con sent or interference of Congress. No man denied the right of each of these Suites, under the Con stitution, to retain the institution of slavery so long as they chose to do so no main denied the right to abolish it at the time it was abolished in each bv voluntary action of their own people -and I pr'-snme that no man will now tleny the light of" each of these States to introduce slavery, pro vided their own people should deem it just and v. ie to i! . so by the modification of their local C 'Tis'.itution aitd laws, It bring conceded thea that the oridnal States, one and "all, bare the tin- ; doubted ristht under the Constitution, to introduce ( or er.ciuda. slavery at pleasure, with what reason can it be contended that a tliUerert rule may or I should he applied t- the new States.. Ji l-mlly i requires an argument tOt prove that each State cf i this Cr.ion must be equal in respect to its rights an 1 powers to every other State. The states are sovereign and independant in all things except wnr-ro tne Constitution of the United States has imposed limitations. Those limitations apply alike to all the States of the Union, new and old, slaveholding and none slaveholdinjr. No other limitaticn upon the sovereignty of a State can be imposed than those contained in the eonstitution none can be imposed by act of Ojngrc ss none by any branch of the federal government T! r e by any earthly power, except the Constitution of the I'nited States. Entire and perf-vt ejt!ah ty, therefore, among nil the States of the L'ni "ii, in respect to their rights of legislathm and iov reignty, is a cardinal and lumlamental princijde in our republic an system, hnice.1, the mcnu nt you impn-e up' ii the rights of riy t.;ie Stite a Ii initation which the Constitution has net enjoined coon jill the States, - such State ceases to b.' a STATE, within the meaning .f the Constitution." Such limitation produce, inferiority where- the Constitution has provided for peiiect. tonality. Cnder the e!aue of the Constitution providing for t he admission of '"new Statts," ad a genera! thing, Congress is iuve.-ted with a dist retiou to admit or reject; hut in the event a new State is admit t.-d inv the lT2-mi, it mil V Vie 111 sr.- fT.U0, With a-I tlie powers and rights of a State under the C nstiti-.tioii, and on an equal f -t'mg with the oric.i.aai States in all respects whatsoever. There fore, whatever powers are H S; s-edby any one Httte-. old or new in respect to shivery, may of light, under the constitution, be exorcised by each and every state.
