that a convention ef th people, if a legal body at all, was clothed with power to pcrfeet that for which it was bro't iuto bein g. There can be no queatiou about this. Honco, it had power to pass an elcetion law, and every con vention (hat had ever met in this Union has passed such Jaws. Kveu the Minesola Con vention pawed laws. It i-aid, all laws of the Territory, not iueonsistent with this Constitu tion, shall be continued until alercJ, amend ed, or repealed, under the State government. Is not that legislating? Do you not, in the schedules of all the Constitutions made by all the Conventions in this whole Union, uniform ly find the same provision? They arc clothed by tho people with the same power to perfect their work. The people havo a right to con tinue in existence old lawa under tho new or ganization The people delegate that power to tha Convention. It is invested with full power to derfect the end for which it was brought into being, and no other authorityon the faeeof the globe can interfere with the'in. Sot tha wholo Federal power brought togeth er can stay their h&u I or eheck them in their career, when they legitimately proceed to the consummation of tho eud for which they were cojlod into cxiatonco. I know it is said, however, that this Con Mitution does not embody the will of the peo ple of Kansas; and thia is mada tho great pre text for tho opposition to the admission of that State. What is the public will, as con tradistinguished from tho makiug known of that will in tho forms of law? I know no pablio will except as that public will comes through the channel or the law. Then it lulls upon the car with its commanding influ eneo. and none of us can bo deaf to its coin i. nnd.; but the wild cry of the infurated mob is not the people's voice, and we can never in this mtthod ascertain the people's will. It is through tho channels of the law, purified kept chaste, kept holy, that wc arc to ascerl tain tho people's will. When the people go to the ballot-box and deposit their votes, the people's will is kuown not always perfect ly. Imperfection stamps all that ia human; but, according to the common consent of the human race, it has been found by the wisest etatemeu on the faco of the earth that this approximates to tho boat mn!..l ..f in ascertaining the people's will. Here wo havo had hrst an opportunity in Tiding whether there should be a Convention or no Convention, and the peopled will said, yee, there shall be a Convention i-econd .here was an opportunity for tho people to elect delegates to a Convention, and the neoplo e b cted their delegates, clothed with power un- we of original power declared aacrcd in the Constitution. You must give force and ef fect to that provision ai to the other, and giv ing foree add effect to both those provisions we necessarily come to the conclusions I have ctaieu. i But again, the people cannot be cheated ! out of their original right . by incorporating i into the constitution the only mode in which j the people can change a f will illustrate t I some Cnstitutioti8 sav tieO-tlnr,,,. r.f 1 House, at two successive sessions, may make change in the constitution. If the governing power ul dor takes to make a change, they must hare two-third of each House at two successive sessions, to comply with the con stitution ; but while this may be the mode in which the Government ruay change itself, the Legislature can Pa a law, at tho instance of ho people, saying the pcopleinay elect mem bers to a Convention representing themselves and make then, own Constitution in their own way. This original right is clear and indis putable when I state it in this way; and they cannot bo cheated out of it by incorporating into it the only mode in which the people can act ; fur their ri-ht ia older than the con stitution, anterior to the constitution n.,.1 cannot be tied up or conveyed away by the ' constitution. The right of self-government is not the right of a mob; but it is the l ight of i change, of improvement of amendment mK I 1U ftft .cgju, orueny way. l cannot recoguize thenjht of a body of men. gathered m a tumultuous assemblage, and disregard- .-4, hwiui auiuormes, undertaking to change their Constitution; but though their members in the Legialature, they have the right to call a Convention, and in that Con vention they have the right to a voice that shall reform every provision which they deem obnoxious, Mr. President, I havo said all I desire to say on these subjects. I have di.cussed them fully before, aud I have only said this much now, because I wish to treat the Senator from ermont with no di-courtoy, and he insisted that I shou;d make some opening remarks in other words eay something which should COtlfltlftlfrt n I wmicu ue uuut nan? htQ ennnn Ii II....:. 1 . . w . .

The idea of the instability of tho ' Democratic u.twumr tue American people at ucted their delegates, clothed with power un restricted and uurestraintd; third, the people had to vote whether they would have slaverr or no slavery, and we hear the voice of the majority against six thousand seven hun dred and ninety five voting on that ques tion. It may be, for aught 1 know, though I am not willing to concede it, that there are more opposed to it than six thousand seven hundred and ninety five. There ia one thing I am notsath-ficd of, that the vote of the 4th of January at which they pretended they had a largo majority ten tuousaud against the Constitution is not only void, as I before remarked, but that it is spurious; they have not the uumbor iu the Territory. The rea 60., why I think i-o. I shall postpone until a future period, and nrcsent it m : ulc shupo, if it honld be necessarr. Thus the people's will has been made known ilia Constitution, so far as wc have a right to kuow anyimng legally on the suhject, is the people s Constitution, and embodies their will I he power of amendment I have heretofore Fen or. i nave not a single doubt on that subject. The people have th right, but mark, the people must exercise it in an order ly, egai manner. 1 kuow that is an auti-repullican . w lurmer discussion, and before the elose of the j tnir the men who have aiw? the present time, that the very utterance of it recently by certain "distinguished individuals." excittid a feeling of surprise in the minds of men of all parties. The party ha passed un seated through so many trying viciitudt within the lat sixty year, it has recently becon so exclusively the guardian and protector of the union oi the htat, that even its bitterest oppo nents, felt aud lmost conceded, that it would continue to exist in its full vigor, as long as the Constitution of the United States continued to be recognized us the charte r of our liberties.

The Democratic State Convention assem bled at Harrisburg on the 4th iust., and ef fected a permanent organization by appoint ing Hon. John L. Dawson of Fayette county, President, agisted by a number cf Vice Presidcuts and Secretarys. Mr. Daw son, on taking tho Chair, delivered a power ful and convincing address, sustaining the principles of the Democratio party, and th Kansas policy of the Xatioual Administra tion. Duting his address, he was frem, ly interrupted by enthusiaistic cheers from the members of the Convention. After the Con vention had transacted a considerable amount of miscellaneous business, the Hon II it Wright, Chairman of the Committee on reso lutions, reported resolutions democratic in their tone and sentiment, and in favor of the immediate admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution. The resolutions were adopted by a vote of one hundred and eleven for to one against them. Thl ;H ly a brilliant triumph for the r Pennsylvania over Treason and Faction, and proves that our noble old Commonweal. h still entitled to occupy the proud position of Keystono of the Federal Arch. After the adoption of the resolution,,, th. Convention proceeded to place in nomination a candidate for Judge of the Supremo Court and a candidate for Canal Commissioner to oe supported by the party at the rencral elec tion next October. On the first ballot, Hon Wm. A. Porter, of Philadelphia, was nomi. nated for Supreme J udge. On the third bal lot, Wesley Irost, of Fayette county, was placed in nomination for Canal Commissioner. Judge Porter is one of the ablest legal men of our State, an honest man and a reliable democrat. The Democracy of Cambria will roll up an old fashioned Buchanan majority in his favor. Hon. Wesley Frost is well known to the people of Pennsylvania as one of the most efficient and active democrats in the State, and a man of ability and unblem ished inteeritv.
