lam opposed to the clause by which you locate certain railroads in such away as to sacrifice my county and my part of the State. lam opposed to that banking system. 1 am opposed to this Know Nothing,or American clause in the constitution about the qualifications for office. T ne*sa•» r» ♦ r*z>«o at-* Then they answer, ‘you shall not vote on making it a slave State.’ I then say, ‘I want to m >ke it a free State.’ They reply, ‘vote for that Constitution first, and then you can vote to make it a free State; otherwise you cannot.’ Thus they disqualified every free State man who will not first vote for the Constitution. No matter whether or not the voters state that they cannot conscientiously vote for those provisions, they reply, "You cannet vote for or against slavery here.— Take the Constitution as we have made it; take the elective franchise as we have established it; take the banking system as we have dictated it; take the railroad lines as we hat e located them; take the judiciary system as we hare formed it; take it all as we have fixed it to suit ourselves, and ask no questions; but vote for it, or you shall not vote either f r a slave or a free State?’ In other words, the legal effect of the Schedule is this: All those who are in favor of this Constitution may vote for or against slavery, as they please; but all those who are against this Coti-titmioa are disfranchised, and 5i.... not vote at all. That is the mode in w inch the slavery proposition s admitted. Every man opposed to , the C ns’ituhon is disfranchised on the slavery clause. ILjw many are th®y? They tell you there is a majority; for they say the Constitution will be voted down instantly, bv an overwhelming majority, if you allow a negative vote.--This shows that a majority are against it. They disqualify and disfranchise every man who is against it, thus referring the slavery clause to a minority of the people of Kansas, and leaving that minority free to vote for or against the slavery clause, as they choose. Let me ask you if that is a fair mole f submitting the slavery clause. Does' ti. it mode of submitting that particular clause leave the people perfectly free to vote f< r or against slavery as they choose? Am I free to vote as I choose on the slavery question, if you tell me 1 shall not vote on it until I vote on the Maine liquor law? Am I free to vote on the slavery question, if you tell me that I shall not vote either way until I vote for a bank? Is it freedom of election to make vour right to vote upon one question depend upon the mode in which you are going to vote on some other question which has no connection with it? Is that freedom <>f election? Is that the great fundamental principle of self-government, for which we combined and struggled, in this body, and the country, to establish as a rule <>f action for all time to come? The President of the United States has made some remarks in his message which, it strikes me it would be very appropriate to read in this connection. lie says: “The friends and supporters of the Nebraska and Kansas act when struggling on a recent occasion to sustain its wise provisions before the great tribunal of the Amercan people, never dis- : , ■ 1 about its true meaning ot> this suh’-.-ct — rAerywbere throughout the Union they publiciv > '.edged their fa th and li-cmr that they would cheerfully submit the q-.es:ion o' slavery to the decision of the bostajitu people of Kansas. without any restriction of qualification whatever.— All were cordially united upon the great doc<f popular sorernly, which is the viUuprinciple of our free institutions.” Mark this: “Had it then been insinuated, from any quarter, that it would have been sufficient comp Lance a i.h the requisitions of the organic Jaw for the members of a convention, thereafter to lie elected, to withhold a question of slavery from the people, and to substitute their own will for tost of a *. -sally asc. -tail, ed ma .ri*y <•! their Yes, sir, and I will add further, litid it been then intimated from anv quarter, anti bei;-.ved by the American people, that we would have submitted the slavery clause in such a manner as compel a man to vole for that wi.Hi his conscience did not approve, in order to vote on the slavery clause, not only would the idea have been rejected, but the Democratic candidate for the Presidency would have been rejected; and every man who backed him won; 1 have been reiected, too. The President Udis ns in his mess v.-e that the whole party pledg' d our faith stidorir I that the siavary question should be submitted to the people, with out any restriction or qualification whatever. Do- -> ibis schedule submit it without qualification? It qualifies it by saying, ‘\ ou tu iy vote in si .very if you will vote fur ti.-e Ctt:i..n; but rou shall not do so without d ing that.’ That is a very important qualification—aqua, fication that controls a man’s vote and his action and conscience, it he is an honest man—-a qualification confes-el'y in violation of our platform. We are told by the President that our faith and our honor are pledged that thetlaverv clause should Ire submitted without qualification of any kind whatever; and now lam to be called upon to forfeit my faith and my honor in order to enable a small minority of the people of Kansas to defraud the majority of that people out of their elective • ranchise? Sir, mv lion ris pie Igo *; and before it shall be tarnished, I will take whatever consequences personal tomySell may come; but nev -r ask me to do an act which, the President, in his message. has sai I is a forfeiture of faith, a violation of honor, an 1 that merely for the expediency of saving the pir'y. 1 will go as far as any of you to save the party. I have as much heart in the great cause that bind; us together as a party as 30V man livn g. I w;i! iaeriijee anything

i short of principle and honor for the peace of the party; but if the party will not stand : bv its principles, its faith, its pledges, I ; wiii stand there, and abide whatever consequences may result from the position. L-t me ask you, why force this constitution down the throats ol the people of Kansas in opposition to their wishes, atm in violation of our pledges. What great object is to be attained? Cui bona/— What aie you to gain by it? Will you sustain t- e party by violating its principles? Do you propose u> keep the partv united by forcing a division? .'land by the doctrine that leaves the people perfectly free to form and regulate their institution for themselves in their own way and your party will be united and irresistible ■n power.’ Abandon that great principle, and the F*rty not worth saving, and cannot be saved, after it shall be violated I trust we are net to be rushed upon this question. Why shall it be done? Who is to be benefited? Is the South to be the gainer? Is the North to be the gainer? Neither the North nor the South has the right to gain a sectional advantage by trickery or fraud. But I am beseeehed to wait until I Lear from the election on the 21st of December. lam told that perhaps that will put it all right, and will save the whole difficulty. How can it? Perhaps there may be "a large vote. There may be a large rote returned [Laughter ] But 1 der.v that it is possible to have a fair vote •:n the slavery clause; aul 1 say that it is not possible to have any vote on the Constitution. Whv wait for the mockery of. an election, when, it is provided unalterably that the people cannot vote —when the majority are disfranchised? But I am toll, on all sides, ‘-Oh down.” That : .es not dim::.-h any of them—You i are no more right to force a free State Constitution on Kansas than a slave-State Constitution. If Kansas wants a slaveState Constitution, she has a right to it; if she wants a free State Constitution, she has a right to it. It is none of my business which way the slavery clause is decided. I care not whether it is voted down or voted up. Do you suppose, after the pledges of my honor, that I would go for that principle and leave the people to vote as they choose, that I would now ! degrade myself by voting one was if the ■slavery clause be voted down, and another way if it be voted up? I care not how that vote may stand. 1 take it for' granted that it will be voted out. I think I have seen enough in the last three days to make it certain that it will be returned iout.no matter how the vote may stand. [Laughter ] Sir, lam opposed to that concern, be cause it looks to me like a system of trickery and jugglary to defeat the fair expression of the will of the people. There I is no necessity for crowding this measure, so unfair so unjust as it is in all its aspects, upon us. Why can we not now do what we proposed to do in the last Congress? We then voted through the Senate an enabling act, called ‘the Toombs bill.’ beI lieved to be just and fair in all its provisions. pronounced to be almost perfect by the Senator from New Hampshire, (Mr. Hale,) only he did not like the man then President of the United Stales, who would have to make the appointment. Why can we not take that bill, and, out of compliment to the President, add to it a clause taken from the Minnesota act, which he thinks should be a general rule, requiring the Constitution to be submitted to the peepie, and pass that? That unites the party. You all voted with me, far that bid, at the Last Congress? Why not stand by the same bill now? Ignore Leeomp'on, ignore Topeka; treat both these party movements as irregular and s id, pa.-s a fair bill—the one that we framed ourselvs when we were acting as a unit; Lave a fair election an 1 you will have peace in the Democratic party, and peace throughout ti e country, in ninety ■lays The people want a fair vote. — They will never be satisfied without it.— They never should be satisfied without a fair vote on their Constitution. If the Toombs bill does not suit mv friends, take the Minnesota bill of the last session—the one much commended by the President in his message as a model. Let us pass that as an enabling act, and allow the people of all parties to come together and have a fair vote, and I will go for it. Frame anv other bill that secures a fair, l on-st vote to men of all parties, and carries out the pledge, that the people shall be free to decide on their domestic ins’.itu:if r themselves, and I will go fei-.h you with pleasure, end with all the energy I may possess. But if this Constitution is to be forced down our throats, in violation of the fundamental principle of free government, under a mode of submission that is a mockery and insult, I will resist it to the last. I have no fear of any party associations being severed. I should regret any social or political estrangement, even temporarily; even but if it must be if I cannot act with you and preserve my faith and my honor, I w -l stand on the great principle of popular sovereignty, which declares the right of al! to be left perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way. I will follow that principle wherever its logical consequences may take me, and I will endeavor to defend it against assault from anv and all quarters. No mortal man shall be responsible for mr action but my-s-ls. By nay action I will eompromit no mm. At the -conclusion of the honorable gentleman’s speech loud applause and clap••in ’ of finds rebounded through the crowded gallerita.

THE GLOBE: THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. T PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of 1 The Daily Globe, and The Congressional Globe and Appendix, to remind subscribers, and inform those who may desire to subscribe, that Congress will meet on the first Monday of next December, when I -hall recommence pub lishing the above named papers. They have ; been published so long that most public men know their character, and therefore I deem it i needless a ininnte account of the kind of matter they will contain. The Daily Glose will contain a report ofthe 1 debates in both branches of Congress as taken down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps of short hand writers in this or anv other country. A majority of them will, each, be able to • to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour while the average number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand : five hundred words an hour. When the dei bates of a day do not make more than forty columns they shall appear in the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also,the new- of the day. together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by passing events. It is also iny intention, from time, as occasion may require, to publish my reminiscences of the public men with whom I have been associated during the last twenty eight years. Anecdotes > of General Jackson,and the leaders ofthe party which he conducted, and the leading men of

j other parties, will, I believe, be interesting now when partisan bitterness ha- abated. lu becoming the reporter of the debates of Congress 1 deemed it proper to say that the i Globe would never be a partisan paper. This pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a . contribution to history the political traits of .ch iracter which distinguished public men :of my time. Although I am, and .ntend to re- ' main, a thourough democrat, 1 will never obtrude my principles in away to make them obnoxious to any party. But in regard to persons and event’ which go to make up history. I hope to make die Globe an honest memoir; and with that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. Ihe C.-• sa: -siox.vt. Globe and Apeendk will contain a report of all the debates in Congress, ■vvis*- , by tjir speakers, the messages of the President of the United States, the annual reports of the heads of the executive departments, ta - la«'s parsed during the session, and copious indexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet,iu book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, 3,3 >0 and 3,930

pages, as the longsessions for manyyears have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one.”— fiiis I believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from man .script copy, taking for data the average i u.'niter of words of the long session since the year l:4r. The average number of pages is 3,876, and the average number of wordsona page >- 2,.l‘Ji .consequently, the average number of word-of a long-es-i lis 9,29',772.

PROSPECTUS « BR<' 1 ’'fie' 1 EO7 EL S 3 ffIIIAVI ST.iTE SE.WXEL, ISSL The proprietors ofthis establishment deem it almost unnecessary to urge upou the I emoc-rai-y of the State, the importance of largely increasing the circulation of the . EXTixn-. fai'hfui and candid exposition of Democratic principles and policy is all that is necessary to secure their continued ascendency m the minds , of the people, and this can be best accomplished through the medium of the press. A"d make success easv in the future, our people should , be thoroughly informed and receive correct inpressions upon all the party issues and questions oi the day. As it has been in t..e past. this will be the continued object of the Sentinel and tothe laithfulaceompfishment of : this duty, its proprietors willgive all their abil- ■ itv enerifV and zeal. - ; Tnreturiiwe -hall ask of the Democracy of rhe State a liberal and hearty support In doing us a service personally, they will haye the sari-faction of knowing that they will sow | . broadcast, sound principles and just sentiments. We hope that every democrat will fee. it hi- , duty to be a soliciting agent in his own neigh- i ■ borhood, for in no way can he accomplish greater good than in the circulation of a paper true Ito its faith. The Sentinel should have a circulation in the Slate ofFn-ry Thousand, and it can be accomplished if the Democracy of the State -A ill it. With alittl. effort on the part of ‘ mir friends, ibis number of subscribers can be ■ obtained in the next thirty days. , ■ As the central Organ of the party we snail j I know no men, interests or cliques! and it shall; ’be cur aim to do equal and exact justice to a •• • j i Our duty is tube the advocate and exponent of | the principles and measures of the party, and j whoever they shall select a- its Representative , Men, to give them an ■ nergetic and cordial sup port. _ The administration of Mr. Buchanan will soon be inaugurated. Every democrat should . be interested to know the sentiments and pol icy of the man of his choice. Congress is in session i and the people should keep informed of the do iugsofth irservatts. Th ■ Legislature of this State will assemble , on the "tii January, and every citizen of the commonwealth should watch, with an anxious ; eve, all that concerns our State interests. The Sentinel will contain full reports upon all these topics, motives enough we think to induce everv man to take our paper. lu addition we shall keep our readers informed upon all the current : news of the day, domestic and foreign. We | will give full report- of the markets, and all in- ; teresting commercial and monetary matters.— ! We will give each week a full report of the N. Y, cattle market .

Advertisers are especially itivit dto i the great advantages the Sentinel offers as an advertising medium. Its extended circulation reaches all portions o r the State t nd all c esses of the community, giving the advantage of not ; only a large local, but general circulation.
