himself- meaning the President and Iiis Cabinetthat the' constitution was to be submitted to the people for their free acceptance or rejection, and that he would Use nil the power at his command to defeat tti acceptance by Congress, if it were not thus submitted to the voto of the people. Mr. President, I am not going to stop And inquire how far the Nebraska bill, which said the people should be left perfectly free to form their constitution for themselves, authorized the President or ih Cabinet, or Governor Walker, or any other Territorial efficor, to interfere and tell the convention of Kansas Whether they should or should not submit thto question to the people. I am not going to stop to inquire how far they were authorized to do

that, it being my opinion that the spirit of the .Nebraska bill required it to bo done. It is sufficient for my purpose that the administration of the Federal government unanimously, that the administration of the Territorial government in all its parts unanimously understood the Territorial law under which the convention was assembled to mean that the constitution to be formed by hat convention should be submitted to the people for ratification or rejection, and, if not confirmed by a majority of the people, should be null and void, without coming to Congress for approval. Kot only did the National government and the Territorial government so understand the law at the time, but, as I have already seated, the people of the Territory so understood it. As a further evidence on that point, a large number, if not a majority, of the delegates were instructed in the nominating conventions to submit the constitution t the people for ratification. I know that the delegates from Douglas county, eight in number, Mr Calhoun, president of the convention, being among them, were not only instructed thus to submit the question, but they signed nnd published, while candidates, a written pledgAthat they would submit it to the people for ratification. I know that men, high in authority and in the confidence of the Territorial and National governments, canvassed every part of Kansas during the election of delegates, and each one of them pledged himself to the people that no snap judgment was to be taken; that the constitution was to be submitted to the people for acceptance or rejection; that it would be void unless that was done; that the Administration would spurn and scorn it as a violation of the principles on which it came into power, and that a democratic Congress would hurl it from their presence as an insult to democrats who stood pledged to see the people left free to form their domestic institutions for themselves. Not only that, sir, but up to the lime when the convention assembled, on the 1st

of September, SO for a& I can learn, it wa3 there shall be one bank of discount in the State, understood everywhere that the constitu- with two branches. AU I have to say on that point tion was to be Submitted to the peoplo for is, if thoy want a banking system, let them have it; ratification or rejection. Thiy met howev- if they do not want it, let them prohibitit. If they er, on the 1st of September, and adjourned want a bank with two branches, be it so; if they until after the October election. I think it want twenty, it is none of my business, and it matwas wise and prudent that they should ters not to me whether one of them shall be on the thus have adjourned. They did not wish north side and the other on the south side of the to bring any question into that election Kaw river, or where they shall be. which would divide the democratic party, While I have no right to expect to be consulted

and weaken our chances of success in the election. I was rejoiced when I saw that they did adjourn, 80 as not to show their hand on any question that would divide and distract the party until after the election.

During that recess, while the convention was ad- officers of Governor and Lieutenant Governor rejourned, Governor Ransom, the democratic can- quire twenty years' citizenship in the United States.

didate for Congress, running against the present Dclegate from that Territory, was canvassing every part of Kansas in favor of the doctrine of subanitting the constitution to the people, declaring that the democratic party were in favor of ßueh submission, and that it was a slander of the black republicans to intimate the charge that the democratic party did not intend to carry out that pledge in good faith. Thus up to the time of the meeting of tho convention, in October last, the pretence was kept up, the profession was openly made, and believed by me, and I thought believed by them, that the convention intended to submit a constitution to the people, and not to attempt to put a government in operation without such submission. The election being over, the democratic party being defeated by an overwhelming vote, the opposition having triumphed, and got possession of both branches of the Legislature, and having elected their Tcrrito.ial Delegate, the convention assembled and then proceeded to complete their work. Now let us stop to inquire how they redeemed the pledge to subsai the constitution to the people, They first go on d make a constitution. Then they make a schedule, in which they provide that ' the constitution, on the 21st of December the pros ent month shall be submitted to all the bona fide . inhabitants of the Territory on that day, for their free acceptance or rejection, in the following manner, to-wit: thus acknowledging that they were bound to submit it to the will of the people, conceding that they had no right to put it into operation without submitting it to the people, providing ia the instrumtnt that it should take effect from and iter the date of its ratification, and not before;!

showing that the constitution derives its vitalitv, the constitution. They may be all right; they may : ia their estimation, not from the authority of the be all wrong. That is a question on which my opinconvention, but from that vote of the people to ior is worth nothing. The opinion of the wise and which it was submitted for their acceptance or re- patriotic Chief Magistrate of the United States is jection. How is it to be submitted? It shall be not worth anything as against that of the people of ubmiUed in this form: "Constitutian with slavery Kansas, for they have a right to judge for themor constitution with no slavery. All men must selves, and neither Presidents, nor Senators, -nor .To'tfi for the constitution, whether they like it or House of Representatives, nor any other power not, in order to be permitted to vote for or against outside of Kansas has a right to judge for them, slavery.

Perhaps, sir, the same thing might be fore it took effect; a constitution which provides, said of the celebrated Topebt constitution. I do ' on its face, that it shall have no validity except not recollect its peculiar provisions. I know one what it derives from such submission is submitted thing: we democrats, we Nebraska men, would

U the people at an election where all men are at ' liberty to come forward freely, without hindrance, and vote for it, but no man is permitted to record a vote acatot it. That would be as fair an election as some of the enemies of Napoleon attributed to bid when he was elected First Consul. He is said to hav es lied out his troops and had them review ed by his officers with a speech, patriotic and fair iU professions, in which he said to them: "Now, jay soldiers, ou are to go the election and vote freely just as you please. If you vote, for Napo

leon, all is well; vote against him, and you are to

be instantly shot." That was a fair election. Laughter. This election is to be equally . fair. All men in favor of the constitution may vote for it all men against it shall not rote at all. Why not let them vote against it? I presume you have asked many a man this question. I have asked a very large number of the gentlemen who framed the constitution, quite a number of delegates, and a still larger number öf persofiB who are their friends, and I have received the same answer from every one of them. I never received any other answer, and I presume we shall never get any other anSwch What is thai? They say if they allowed a negative vote the constitution would have been voted down by an overwhelming majority, and hence the fcl'owl shall not be allowed to vote at all. Laughter. Mr. President, that may be true. It was no part of my purpose to deny the proposition that the constitution would have been voted down if submitted to the people. I believe it would have been voted down by a majority of four to one. I am in formed by mert wtll posted thero democrats that it would be voted down by ten to one j srjrue say by twentv to one. But is it a good reason why you should declare it in force, without being submitted to the people merely because it would be voted down, if you had submitted It? What docs that fact prove? Does it not show undeniably that an overwhelming majority of the people of Kansas arc unalterably opposed to that constitution? Will you force it on them against their will simply because they would have voted it down if you had consulted them? If you will, arc you going to force it upon them under the plea of leaving them perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way? Is that the mode in which I am called upon to carry out the principles of self government and popular sovereignty in the Territories to forcfl a constitution against their will, ir. opposition to their protest, with a knowledge of the fact; and then to assign, as a reason for my tyranny, that they would be eo obstinate and so perverse as to vote down the constitution if I had given them an opportunity to be consulted about it? Sir, I deny your right or mine to inquire of these people what their objections to that constitution are. They have a right to judge for themselves whether they like or dislike it. It is no answer to tell me that the constitution is a good one and unobjectionable. It is not satisfactory to me to have the President say in his message that the constitution is an admirable one, like all the constitutions of the new States that have been recently formed. Whether good or bad, whether obnoxious or not, is none of my business and none of yours It is their business and not ours. I care not what they may hare in their constitution, so that it suits them and docs not violate the constitution of the United States and the fundamental principles of liberty upon which our institutions rest. I am not going to argue the question whether the banking STstcm established in that constitution is wise or unwise. It says there shall be no monopolies, but on that point, I do hold that the people of Kansas have the right to be consulted and to decide it, and you have no rightful authority to deprive them of that privilege. It is no justification, in my mind, to say that the provisions for the eligibility for the If men think that no person should vote or hold office until he has been here twenty years, they have a right to think so; and if a majority of the people of Kansas think that no man of foreign birth should vote or hold office unless he has lived there twenty years, it is their right to say so, and I have no right to interfco wi'-li them; it is their business, not mine; but if I lived there I should not be will ing to have that provision in the constitution with out being heard on the subject, and allowed to re cord my protest agtinst it. Hiave nothing to say about their system of tax ation, in which they have gone back and resorted to the old exploded system that we tried in Illinois, but abandoned because we did not like it. If they wish to try it and get tired of it, and abandon it, be it so; but if I were a citizen of Kansas I would profit by the experience of Illinois on that subject. and defeat it if I could. TTct I have no objection to their having it if they want it; its their business, not mine. I So it is in regard to the free negrots. They provide that no free negro shall be permitted to live I in Kansas. I suppose they have a right to say so if they choose; but if I lived there I should want to vote on that question. We, in Illinois, provide that no more shall come there. We say to the other States, "Take care of your own free negroes and we will take care of ours." But we do not say that the negroes, now there, ahall not bo permitted to live in Illinois, and I think the people of Kansas J ought to have the right to say whether they will al low them to live there, and if they are not going to do so, how they are to dispose of them. So you may go on with all the different clauses of not even look into it to see what its provisions were. Why? Because we said it was made by a political party, and not by the people; that it was made in defiance of the authority of Congress; that if it was as pure as the Bible, as holy as the I ten commandments, yet we would not touch it un - til it was submitted to and ratified by the people of in Kansas, in pursuance of the forms of law. Per haps that Topeka constitution, but for the mode of making it would have been unexceptionable. I do - 1 not know; I do not care. You have no right to

force an unexceptional constitu tion on a people. It does not mitigate the evil, it does not diminish insult, it does not ameliorate the wrong that you are forcing a good thing on them. Iam not willing to be forced to do that which I would do if I were left free to judge and act for myself. Hence

I assert that there is no justification to be made of this flagrant violation Of pop'ulaf rights in Kansas, on the plea that the constitution which they have made is not particularly obnoxiou.". But, sir, th President of the Uuted States is really and sincerely of the opinion that the slavery clause has been fairly and impartially submitted to the free acceptance or rejection of the people of Kansas, and that, in as much as that was the exciting and paramount question, if they get the tight to vote ds they please on that subject, they cttightlobe sat isfied; aid possibly it might be better if we would accent It, and put dh end to the question.' Let me ask, sir, is the slavery clause fairly submitted, so that the people can vote for or against it? Sup pose I were a citizen of Kansas, and should go np to the polls and say, "I desire to vote to make Kansas a slave State; here is my ballot. They iveply to me, "Mr. Douglas, just vota for that con stitution first, If you plcae." "Oh, no!" I an swer, "I canhot Vote fdrthat constitution corscitiously. I am opposed to the clause by which .yon locate certain railroads in such a wav as to sacri fice ray county and part of the State. I am opposed to that banking system. I am opposed to this know-nothing or American clause in the constitution about the qualification for office. I cannot vote for it." Then they answer, "You shall not vote for making it a slave State." I then say, "I want to make 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 disqualify every free State man who will not first vote for the constitution; they disqualify slave 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 cannot vote for or against slavery here. Take the constitution as we lave 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 have ocatedthem; take the judiciary system as we have formed it; take it all as we have fixed it to suit our selves, and ask no questions, but vote for it, or you shall not vote either for a slave or free State." In other words, the legal effect of the schedule is this: alltho.se who are infavorof this constitution may vote for or against slavery, as they please; but those who are against this constitution arc disfran chised, and shall not vote all. That is the mode in which the slavery proposition is submitted. Every man opposed to the constitution is disfranchised on the slavery clause. How many are they? They tell you there is a majority, for they say the consti tution will be voted down instmtly, by an over whelming majority, if you allow a negative vote This shows that a majority are against it. They disoualifv and disfranchise every roan 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 i'iause, as they choose. Let me ask you if that is a fair mode of submit ting the slavery clause? Docs that mode of sub mitting that particular clause leave the people perfectly fee to vote for or against slavery, as they choose? Am I free to vote as I choose ou the slave ry question, if you tell me I shall not vote for it until I vote for the Maine liquor law? Am I free to vote on the slavery question, if you tell me I shall not vote either way until I vote for a bank? Is it freedom of election to make your 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 of elec tion? Is that the great) fundamental principle o lf.frnvpmment. for which we combined and struggled, in this body and throughout the coun try, to establish as the rule of action in all time to come? The President of the United States has made some remarks in his message which it strikes me would be very appropriate to read in this connec tion. He says: The friends and supporters of the Nebraska and Kansas act, when struggling on the recent occasion to sustain its wise provisions oetore tne great tribunal of the American people, never dif fered about the true meaning on this subject. Lv ery where throughout the Union they publicly pledg ed their faith and honor that they would cheerfully submit the question of slavery to the decision o the bona fide people of Kansas, without any restric tion or qualification whatever. All were cordially united upon the great doctrine of popular sover eignty, which is the vital principle of our free in stitutions." Mark this: "Had itthen been insinuated, from any quarter that it would have been a sufficient compliance with the requisitions of the organic law for the members of a convention, thereafter to be elected, to withhold tho question of slavery from the people, and to substitute their own will for that of a legally ascertained majority of their constituents, this would have been instantly rejected." . Yes, sir, and I will add further, had it been then intimated from any quarter, and believed by the American people, that we would have submitted the slavery clause in such a manner as to compel a man to vote for that" which 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 would have been rejected too. The President tells us in his message that the whole party pledged our " h and our honor that the slavery question should be submitted to the people, without any restriction or qualification whatever. Does this schedule submit it without qualifications? It qualifies it by saying, "You may vote on slavery if you will vote for the con stitution; but you shall not do so without doing that" That is a very important qualification a qualification that controls a man's vote and his ac tion and his conscience, If he is an honest man a qualification confessedly in violation of our plat form. We are tola by the President that our faith and our honor are pledged that the slavery clause should be submitted without qualification of any kind whatever; and now am I to be called up on to forfeit my faith and my hoaor in order to en able & small minority of the people of Kansas to defn udtle majority of that people of their elect ive franchise? Sir, my honor is pledged; and be fore it shall be tarnished, I will take whatever con sequences personal to myself may come; butnev

er ask me to do an act which the President, in his

message, has said a forfeiture of faith, a violation of honor, and tL it merely for the expediency of s jiving the party. I will go as far as any of you to savo the party. I have as much heart in the great cause that biads us together as a party as any man living. I will sacrifice anything short of principle and honor for the peace of the party; but if the parly will hot stand by its principles, its faith, its pledges, I will stand there, and abide whatever coneequences may result from the position. Let me ask yoüj why force this constitution down the throats of the people of Kansas, in opposition to their wishes and in violation of our pledges. What great object is to be attained? Cut bono! What are you to gain by it ? Will you sustain the party by Violating its principles? Do you propose to keep the party united by forcing a division? Stand by the doctrine that leaves the people perfectly fee to form and regulate their institutions forthemselves in their owa way, and your party will be united and irresistible in power Abandon that great principle, and the party is not worth saving, and Cannot be saved, after it shall be violated. t trust we are hot to be rushed upon this question. Why shall it be done? Who is to benefitted? Is the South to be the gaiher? Is the North to be the gainer ? Neither the North nor the South has the right to gain a sectional advantage by trickery or raud. But I am beseeched to wait until I hear Vom the election on the 21 st of December. I am told that perhaps that will put it all riht, and will save the whole difficulty. How can it? Perhaps there may be a large vote. There may be a larjre vote returned. Laughter. But I deny that it U possible to have a fair vote on the slavery clause; and I say that it is not possible to have any vote on the constitution. Why wait for the mockerv of m - f an election, when it is provided unalterably that the people cannot vote when the majority are disfranchised? If the Toombs bill does not suit my friends, take the Minnesota bill of the last session the one so 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, snd I will go for it. Frame any other bill that secures a fair, honest vote to men of all parties, and carries out the pledge that the people shall be left free to decide on their do mestic institutions for themselves, and 1 will go with you with pleasure, and with all the energy I may possess, liut if this constitution is to be forc ed down our throats, in violation of the fundamen tal principles of free government, under a mode of submission that is a mockery and insult, painful as it will be to me, I must break all associations or connections rather than forfeit my principles. have no fear of any party associations being sever cd. I should regret to sec social and political ties severed; but if it must be, if I cannot act with you and preserve my faith and my honor, I will stand on the great principle of popular sovereignty, which declares the right of all people to be left perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way. I will follow that principle wher ever its legal and logical consequences may take me, and I will endeavor to defend it against assault from any and all quarters.
