Mr. Douglas' Speech. (CUNTISTEO. On the contrary, ho know?, an we here know, that during the last Congress I reported a bill from the CoinluitU'O on Territories to authorize the people of Kansas to assemble and form constitution for themselves. Bubsequently. the Senator from Georgia (Mr. TO'JMBH) brought forward a substitute for my bill, which, after having been modified by him and myscll in consultation, was passed by the Senate. It is known in the country as •the Toombs bill." I authorized the people of Kansas Territory to assemble in convention and form a constitution preparatory to their admission into the Union as a Ktnte. That bill, it. is well known, was defeated in the lloune of Representatives. It mattern

not, for the purpose of this argument, what was the reason of its defeat. "Whether the ieaaon was a political one whether it had reference to the (lien existing coutcst for the Presidency whether it was to keep open the hlavciy question whether it was a conviction that the bill would not be fairly carried o-it whether it was because there were not people enough in Kansas to justify the formation of a State no matter what tli3 reason was, the House of U-presentatives refused to pass that bill, and thus denied to the people of Kansas .the right to form a constitution and State government at this time. So far from the Congress of the I'liitod States hating hanctionei or legalised the convention which assembled at Lecompton, it expressly withheld its ns.seut. The assent has not been given, cither in express terms or by implication and leing withheld, th:s Kansas constitution hasju.it validity and just Mich authority as thulVrritoriul Legislature of Kansas could impart to it without the a^ent, an I in opposition to the known will, of Congress.

Now, sir, let mo ask what is the extent of the authority of a Tertitorial legislature as to calling a constitutional convention without the assent of Congress Fortunately this is not a new question it does not now arise lor th^fir*t time. When the Topeka constitution was presented to the Senate nearly two years ago, it was referred to the Committee on Territories, txith a variety of measures relating to insas. The committee made a full report upon the whole subject. '1 hat report reviewed all the in\ gular cases which ha 1 occurred in our history in the a imission of new States. The committee went on tha supposition that whenever Congress had passe I an enabling act authorizing the people of

Territory to form a State constitution, the convention was regular, and possessed all the authority which Congress had delegated to it but whe.never'Congress had failed or refused to pass an enabling act, the proceeding was irregular ami void, unless vitality was imparted to it by a subsequent act of Compress adopting and con tinning it. The friends of the Topeka constitution insisted that although their proceedings were irregular, they wore not so irregular but that Congress could cure the error by admitting Kansas with that constitution. They cited a variety of oases, amongst others the Arkansas case. I'« ™.v report, tinned by everv member of the Committee on Territories, except the Senator from Vermont, (Mr. Cou.vMKn.) I reviewed the Arkansas case as well as tho othors, and affirmed the doctrine established by General Jackson a*iiiinisti atioti and enunciated opinion of Mr. Attorney General Waller, a part of which opinion was copied into the report and published the conn try at the timo.

Now, sir, in order to ascertain what we understood on the 12th of March, little mor« than a year and a half ago—to be the trwe doctrine on this point, let mc call your attention to the opinion of Mr. Butler in the Ar-

Tin, Governor of the

kanvasca^c. Territory of Arkansas sent a pmted address to President Jackson, in which he Mated that lie had urged to call together the Legislator* of the Territory of Arkansas, for tlx? purpose of allowing tliem to call a convention to form a constitution, preparatory to their admission into the State. The Governor stated that, his opinion, the Legislature power to c*U such a convention without the assent of Congress first had and obtained: but be a-k^ instructions on that point The President ferred tlie case to the Secretary of State, aud he a*ked for the adv.ee of the Attorney General. who« Was given, and adopted of action, and communicated

"Consequently, it is not in the power of the General Assembly of Arkansas to pass any law for lite purpose of electing members to form a constitution and State government, or to do any other act, directly or indirectly, to create bach new government. Every such law, even though it were appro ved by the Governor of the Territory, would be null and void. If parsed by them, notwithstanding his veto, by a vote of two thirds of each branch

While the Legislature of Arkansas had no power to create a convention to frame a constitution, as a legal constitutional body, yet if the people chose to assemble under such an act of the Legislature for the purpose of petition iug lor redress of grievances, the assemblage was not illegal it was not an unlawful assemblage it was not such an assemblage as the military power could be used to disperse, for they hid a right under the Constitution thus to assemble and petition.— But if they assumed to themselves the

the ordinary privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States. Among thsseis the right to assemble and to petition tho Government for tho redress of grievances. In tlieexereisc of this right, the inhabitants of Arkansas may peaceably meet together in primary assemblies, for the purpose of petitioning Congress to

an independent State. The particular form which they maypve to their petition cannot be material, so long

as they confine themselves to the mere right of petitioning, and conduct all their proceedings in a peaceable manner. And as4he power of Congress over the whole subject is plenary and unlimited, they tnaj accept any constitution, however framed, which in their judgment meets the sense of the people to be affected by it. If, theretore, the citiiens of Arkansas think proper to accompany their petition with a written constitution, framed and agreed on by their primary a»* sembliea, ot by convention of delegates chWt by such assemblies, 1 perceive no kfa] objection to their power to do to, nor to any measure

Having thus shown that toe convention at Lecompton had no power, BO authority, to form and establish a government, but had power to^ draft a petition, and that petition, if embodied the will of the people of Ktaui, ought lo be taken as «aeh an exposition of their will, yet. if it did not embody their will, ought to be rejected—having shown these facta, let m« proceed and enquire

tory of the transaction, tl-at thejpeople who voted for delegates to the Lecompton convention, and those who refused to vote—both parties— understood the territoral act to mean that they were to be elected only to frame a constitution, and submit it to the people for their ratification or rejection. I say that both parties] in that Territory, at the time of the election of delegates, so understood the object of the convention Those who voted for delegates did so with the understanding that they had no power to make a government, but only to frame one for submission and those who staid away did so wtih the same understanding.
