SPEECH of Hon. CHAS. CASE. REBELLION IN 1776 AND IN 1856.

_Mr: Chairman, the argumentin favor of the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution that has had the most extensive circulation throughout the country,” and which, from the official position and 'presti%e of its author, hae attracted and will yct attract, most attention, is that which the President sent'us on the 2d nltimo. ~ The local press has eyverywhere ﬁﬁblisbed)ig;; and ‘it is. being seattered broadcast by the Administration party as the latest gospel of Democracy. I propose, therefore; to use my hout to examining some of its_ propositions and sentiments.— When that document was read by the Clerk, and when itsstartling statements and bitter charges were so heartily .and | })romptly indorsed by one of ‘my colleagues, [Mr. Hughes] I felt a desire for the first time to speak, to say something of a State paper so extraordinary in‘its phraseology, assertions and conclusions. Rising at this late period to gratify that desire, it is' proper to say ! that some of the remarks I haye to sub‘mit ‘were prepared soon after the deli\wi ery of that message. . In the meantime it has been quite boldly discussed here and in " the other branch of Congress; and many of the ideas which lie directly my path have been better expressed by others. Some of them will bear rep- l etition, and for the rest; I have no apology beyond this explanation. Though addressing this body for the first time, it will hardly be necessary in advance to multiply words in deﬁningl my position. - The subject will give sui-ficient-opportunity to indicate it. . Letme only premise that, while I was elected toa seat in this House as. a Republican, charged, too, by political advcx{a—ries with being a very black one, while I cling to the leading tencts of that party as tenaciously as ever, and am ready, in my poer way, at all proper times' to defend them, yet I propose today to say but little on the distracting subject of slavery—not that the able and earnest vindications of that institution, to which I have listened here, ‘have in the least shaken old and deep convictions. If’its cssential characteristics I'can see nothing’ to love or ad‘mire—much, very much, to abhor and condemn. - I ought, perhaps, to "add that my intense objection is to the principle of the institution ; to its inherent, injustice, which no kindness on the part

such kindress may be, and probably-is, quite generally practiced; for I have never supposed our southern brethren to be sinners above all others. I dismiss this thought without further comment, content. that for the present my remarks shall be confined to the rights of freemen, and the manner in which they are treated and proposed to be treated by the President; alluding only incidentally and necessarily, if at all, to the rights or interests of any othereclags.— The subject demands great plainness of speech ; and that demand is sufficient apology for itsuse. The President has set the example. He has not been choice in his words or mealy-mouthed in his opinions. Those words and opinions are immediately in my way. I cannot avoid them if I would; though he is old, and I am young. | S

Towards the close of his message, the President throws out a sugdestion upon’ which he had done well to have acted if he would have it control the actions of others. He tells us, as in his annuakcommunication, that ‘already have the affairs of Kansas engrosscd an "undue proportion of the public attention.’ Ah! have they? Why did no’ this occur to him at the outset, and, as has been well suggested by others, induce him to send us the Lecompton constitution, as he did that of Minnesota, without lengthy comments of his, instead of accompanying it with a long argument, every sentence of which is provocative ef discussion,. and acrimonious discussion too? Not tll)llus:?Wil% he succeed in calming the troubled political sea: n. Tl ominous clouds’ to his vision ‘impending over the Union.’ © Sir,'when from his high position he assumes to pass judgement upon ten thousand free citizens of Kangag, pronouncing them rebels, insurrectionists and traitors, when he substantially tells us that by their conduct they have forfeited all right to complain, that though the burden of their wrongs be ever so heavywe must not hear them groan, he should remember that these men are our brethren and kinsfolk. that they have sz'mpéf,iig zing friends in every i{ee;Stai%e certain--Iy, probably in every State of this Confederacy ; that but a little. time ago they were & !g:lm;t,of, the seventeen millions of northern freemen, that every ‘congressional district in the free N'o'rftﬁ‘ ‘has contributed its fifties and its hundreds to the populition of Kansas, and of these e are now standing %a&”'ﬂé.tizgé with those whom he denoniinates ‘usurpers and|

LIGONIER, IND. THUESDAY, APRIL 1,1858.

Titaions o o rend,and v ﬂ'«mﬁﬁﬁ of patriotic friends, and was no longer James Buchanan, but the impersotiation of one them. He doubtless studied the others, dnd can hardly have forgotten that the Topeka 'constitntion and movement, which he asserts, to have been from the first, the ultimatum of his. Kansas rebels, received -the endorsement of the- Republican organization of that year. The work of a | convention elected by.a popular vote in its favor larger than the aggrﬁw;éef Ithat cast for the members of the late Le‘compton convention, ‘and ratified by a ‘vote nearly or quitens large, they deemed it then the voice of thepedple, which Congress -should heed. = When, therefore, he brands that measure as rebellious and treasonable, he indirectly makes every Republican of that Z?I an abettor of these monstrous erindes. ‘He has studie‘d,i;ggx; eriean character to Hittle purpose if h& has not learned that such charges, from any quarter, must provoke severe scrutiny and criticism. Rebellion charged against American citizens grates harshly on American ears, and he must not .complain if facts and and precedents are examined to determine its justice and propriety. « .« § My colleague [Mr. Hughes,] told us that ‘the President had struck the key. nate of all this difficulty, and that was ‘rebellion! REBELLIONY . He might have added that, bhaving struck it, he adhered to it with marvelous steadiness. There were no half notes, tior even thirds or fifths in the whole strain. Let us cull sBme of the mellifluoussounds which' still linger on the ear, first pausing 2 moment to inquire to whom they are applied. They are designated in the message, beyond a preadventure, by names and localities. They are ecalled Republicans and Abolitionists, the localities are “the towns; cities, or cqﬁgﬁmti_és} where the Republican party have a majority,” or “Layrence the hot-bed of all the abolition movements in the Territory.”—

The persons accused are “the great mass of the Republican party of the Territory.”, True, these designations decur in the more ancient dispatches of Gov. Walker—dispatches sent off while ke was Saul instead of Puul; before the scales had. fallen from his cyes.— liut the President incorporates them in his message, and makes them bhis own.

- Who does not know that the men thus designated are none other than the free-State party of Kansas, very few of t! emp being abolitionists; many of, them s bpleind there to carry out what they thought to be .“the true intent and meaning” of the organic law, but found themselves of necessity siding with the party of freedom -in that territory; and have therefore been dubbed Republicans and Abolitionists by the loyalists there and elsewhere. R ! il

- How are these men and their acts characterized in the message?! Why, siv, as having from_the first, “endeavored, by force and "usuyrpation, tooverthrow the government established by Congress,’ a% -‘subvertcx%;; of government,” “‘defying 'goverument,” and “sctting up a revolutionary government.” They are spoken of asfinsurgénts, as insurreetionary, rebellious, and to those! deeds of shame, all culminating in the Tope‘ka movement, we are told they bave, ‘adhered ‘“with treasonable pertinacity.” These are specimens, only of the choice Literature of the Executive. How many times some of these adjective phrases oceur in the message, I cannot say. They constitute its warp and woof —and, to return to the figure of my cjlleggue, are but the key-note, or its octaves above dnd below. What a har‘mony of soft words, if not of soft music! ‘While the tones-of its lofty patriotism and heaven-born charity yet captivate the sense, while friends aré praising its signal ability and opponents smarting under its benevolent castigations, it is grievous to be compelled to say, in truth, that the production is scarcely. Keynote and all, it is little more than a recastof an old chant—of a tune sang Doodle had become a national air.— Painful 'as the task may be, and precious as my time certainly is, I must take occasion = briefly to demonstrate this, both as a matter of justice to the dead, and that the living may see which way the Administration is drifting,— The data may also be useful to the friends -of the President elsewhere—

His message has been assailed by the Opposition press as being without parallel'or precedent in the past. To his friends throughout the country itiﬁilst be intéresting to learn that in sentiment it is not new to Ameriean history.:

- Republicans are prone to referto ear1y writings to sustain their doctrines—to'show that there ivere those of the fathers that even, their Territorial polioy had its origin in a Jeffersonian oedinance. older than the Constitution.— And while the public heart venerates. the deeds. and the patriotism ‘idf‘ig’o&sé; great men, they will not appeal in'vain to the voice which. conies tothem thro the vista of ﬁm,wéeaasm ~them they are right. It must please the. friends of ‘the Administration (not here

IMho present Government gﬂﬁéb cate the language of this remarkable State paper—to show that in tone, arguinent, and phrases, it has its prototype in the prodactions of that past gencration whose law-loving spirit the President so beautifully recommends.

~ This earlier document. I have before me.. It is an anpretending book oceupies but fitlo space, and has probably faumm Tittle attention among the sixty thousand ¥olumes of your congressional library. . Certainly it is a kind of literature to which Republicans are not i@tti_ﬁl,’ and of* which Demoerats, in other days were not spcc’ia.ﬁy fond>” It was written in 1774. Thgt Trke the ;. g‘reﬁent,’ was o time of exeitement.— hen, as now, there was a controversy ‘between Governors and governed, then, as now, a party whijcf;. assertedd the ever right 1% overped ev- : a—r ‘ “’foi%hst’?)a ;E”&w %u;f;ﬁor seemed to have belonged. His name does not appear in print, bntsome hand, (I had é{)most ‘said unkind one,) has penciled it on the title page, but he has oiie to his grave, and no Qescendant of ‘his, if he has one; would thank me for proving, or intimating, this work to be the deed of his ancestor. It is entitled—“A friendly address to all Reasonable Amecricans on the subject of our Political Confusions, &e.;” and seems to have been published for purchasers, at the muederate price of one shilling sterling. A few extraets from both will show the striking resemblance between the ancient book and the modern message, I began with the latter.— The President says: .~ . : “A great delusion seems to prevade W'miﬁd in relation to the condition ef partics in Kansas. . This arrises from ‘the difficulty of inducing the Ameriean pepple to realize the fuct that any portion of them should be in a state of rebellion. against the Government under which they live. When we speak of the affairs of Kansas, we are apt now to refer to' the existence of two violent political parties in that Territory, divided on the question of Slavery just.as we speak of such parbies in the States. This prescuts no adequate idea of the true state of the case. The dividing line there is now between two political» parties, beth acknowledging the lawful existence of the Government ‘but between.these who are loyaltto this | Government, and those who endeayored to destroy its existence by force and by .39 pation—hetween those who sustain power to overthrow the territorial governtucnt cstablished by Congress. This government they would longsince sibverted, had it not been protected from their assaults by the troops of the U. 8. Such has been the condition of affairs since my inauguration. Eﬁer since that period, a large portion of the pcople of Kansas have been in a state of rebellion against the government, with a military leader at their head, of a most turbulent and dangerous character. They have ncver acknowledged, but ‘have constantly renounced and defied ‘the government to which they owe alleglance, and have been all the time in

a state of resistance against its authority.. VThey have been all the time endeavormg to subvert it, and to enter.»Mﬁmlutionm‘y‘.govcrnment under the so-ealled Topeka Constitution in its stead, Kven at this very moment the Topeka Legislature are in session.” . . Similar in sentiment 197 the extract from one of the dispatches ‘of Gov, Walker, adopted by the President, which says: ; . " “Lawrence is the hot-bed of all -the Abolition movements in this Ten:itory.@ Tt is.the town established by the Abolition socicties of the Fast ; and whilst there are respectable pesple there, it is filled with a considerable number of mervenaries, who are paid by the Abolition societies to perpetuate and diffuse agitation throughout Kansas, & provent a peaceful sattlement of this question, Having failed to induce their own so ’cage, "Topeka State Legislature to orcommenced it herself ; and if not arrested, the rebellion will extend throughout the Terrtory. And ag@in":”ln\dﬂef'! to send this communication by mail, I must elose by assuring you that. ;the{ spirit of rcbellion pervades the great mass of the Republican party o? the Territory instigated, as I havéno doubs they are, by Kastern- socicties having in v:ew retuh’s, the maost. - disastrous to this Government and to the Union.” . In the same strain are the two following key-note extracts: moment, the enemies of the existing
