dorsed lbe auliou of ihal convention, ;
1 entirely dtsseuled fmra il, and would
avail myselt ol au early opportunity to
slate my reasons for my dissent. Up
on a more careful aud critical examiua
lion of the ineesage, I am rejoiced to
hnd that the i'reeideut ot the Uniied
Stales does not recommend that Con -
gress shall pass a law to receive Kan
sas into lbe Union under the const itu
tion formed at Lecoinptou. It is true
that the tope ot ihe message indicates
a willingness on the tri of the Presi
dent to sigu any bill that Congress may
pasa, if we shall see proper to pass
one receiving Kansas into tbe Union
under the constitution. Hut, sir, it is
a fact of great significance, and wor
thy of consideration, that the 1 'resi
dent has refrained from any indorse
ment ol the convention, ami Irom any
!aconiiucndatio!i as to the course C
gre- tdioiiltl pursue with regard : lbe
const iiuihvtt theie formed.
Tbe message wtjw i'reaidenl baa
made tui argument II -itaiauswcrable
.trguiiieiii iu my opinion against ti ai
constitution, which shows clearly,
w. tether intended to arrive that result
or not, that. consisU'tiily with his views
ami bis principles, he cannot ao epi
that Constitution. He hits expressed
his deep niorll Li cat ion and disappoint
ment that the coiisiiiuiiou has not been
submitted to tbe people of Kan out for
i In ir acceptance or io4fon. He in
forms Us that he has unqualifiedly ex
pressed his opinions on thai subject 111
Ins Histruutions to tiov. Walker, aa
suming. as a matter of cours., thai the
uonsiitutfon was to be submitted lo the
people before it could have any viutlity
or validity. He goos further, and tells
us that tbe example set by Congress in
the Minnesota 00 so, by inaeriing a
clause in tire enabling act requiring
the consiHuiioii 10 be submitted to the
people, ought lo bocome a uniform
rule, not to be departed from hele.tll.-i
111 any case. Ou these various propo
sitions I agree entirely with the Presi
dent ot the Lulled Slates, and 1 am
prepared now 10 sustain that uniform
rule which he asks us lo pursue, in all
other cases, by lakinc ihe Minnesota
provision as our example.
1 rejoice, on a careful perusal of the
message, to find so much less to
dissent from than 1 was under the im
pression there was, from the hasty
reading am: iinpji t'ot hearing of the
message in the first instance. In
ettect, he refer-, that document to the
Congress of the United Slates as lbe
Constitution of the United Slates re
fers it for us to decide upon ii under
iur resj otistbiliiy. It is proper that
be should have thus referred it to Us
as a matter for conirressional action,
and not as an Administration or Exec
utive meaenre, for the reasou that tbe
Constitution of the 1'nited Stab's says
that "Congress may admit new Stales
into the Union." Hence we find tbe

very brst pr-.p -n on iu the Nebraska

striction, prohibiting the people from
deciding the slavery question for them
selves, constituted au exception to the
general rule, iu violation ot iheprioci
plos of self-government, and heqoi
thai thai exception should be repealed,
and lite slavery question, like all oilier
questions, submitted lo the people (o

WHY THE MISSOURI COMPROMISE WAS
ABOLISHED.
Sir. thai was the principle on which
the Nebraska bill was defended by ii.-
friends. Instead of making the slavery
quest ioa an exception, it removed an
odious exception which before existed.
Its whole objeel was to abolish thai
odious exception, and make ih rule
general, universal, in its application to
all matters winch were focal and do
mestic, and not national or tedernl.
For this reason was the language em
ployed which the President has quoted:
thai the eighlb section of the Mif
oouri act, commonly called the Mis
souri compromise, was repealed be
cause it was repugnant to the prim 1

HOW THE CONSTITUTION Wot' LD HAVE
1IKEN VOTED DOWN IF SUBMITTED.
Mr. I'resident, that may be true.
It is 110 pari of my purpose lo deny
the proposition that thai constiiuiion
would have Iveen oted down if sub
mitted 10 the jsjople. I believe it
would have lieen voted down by a ma

liut is it a good reason why you
should declare it in force, without be
ing submitted 10 the people, merely be
cause il would have been voted down
by tive to one if you bad submitted
it ? What does thai prove ? Dis ii
mil show undeniably that an over
whelming majority of the people of
Kansas are unalterably opposed lo the
cousiiiipion 1 Will you force il on

ihey would have voted it down if you
had consulted them? If you will,
are y ui going lo force il upon them
under ihe plea of leaving ilium per

whether they like or dislike il. It is

I, is not satisfactory to me to have ihe

of liberty upon which our institutions

or unwise. It says there shall be uo
monopolies, but there shall be one

men think (bat uo person should vol

to think so ; and if a majority of tbe
people of Kansas think that no mat
of loreigu birth should vote or bold

years, it is iheir right to say ao, aud I
have do right to interfere with ihem ,
it is their business, not mine; but if 1
lived there 1 should noi be willing to
have that provision in the constitution
without being heard upon the subject,
and allowed to record my protest
against it,
1 have nothing to say about their
system of taxation, in which they
have gone back and resorted to the old
and exploded system that we tried ia

not like it. If they .wish to try it and

!So you may go on wilh all the dif
ferent clauses of the constitution.
They may be all right ; they may be
all wrong. Thai is a question on
which my opinion is worth nothing.
The opinion of the wise Chief Magis
trate of the Uniied .States is not worth
anything as against that of the people
of Kansas, for they have a right to
judge for themselves ; and neither
Presidents, nor Senators, nor House of
Kepreseniatives, nor any other power
outside of Kansas, has a right to judge
for them. Hence it is no justification,
in my mind, for ihe violation of a
greal principle of se' f-go veruroeni, to
say (hat the constitution you are forc
ing upou 1 in in is not particularly ob
noxious, or is excellent in its provis
ions. Perhsps. sir, the same thing might
be said of the celebrated Topeka con
si uution. 1 do not recollect its pecu
liar pros isions. I know one thing :
we Democrats, we Nebraska men,
would not even look into il to see
what iis provisions were. Why ?
Because we said ii was made by a po
litical party, and noi by the people ;
that il was made in defiance of the au
thority of Congress; that if ii was as
pure as the Bible, as holy as the ten
commandments, yel we would not
touch it umil it was submitted to and
rat itied by the people of Kansas, in
pursuance of the forms of law. Per
haps ihai Topeka cousiituiioti, but for
the mode til making ii, would have
be. 11 unexceptionable. 1 do uoi know;
1 do noi t are. You have no right to
force an unexceptionable constitution
on a people, ft does not mitigate the
evil, it does not diminish the insult, it
does noi ameliorate the wrong that you
are forcing a good thing ou thsm. 1
am not willing lo be forced to do lhal
whit h 1 would do il 1 wen- left free to
judge ami act for myself. Hence 1 as
sert that there is no justification to be
made for this (Ingram violation of pop
ular rights in Kansas, on the plea lhal
the constitution which they have made
is not particularly obnoxious.
St PPOSK DOUOLAS WANTED TO VOTE OK
THAT CONSTITUTION THE MAJORITY
DISFRANCHISED.
But. sir, the President of the United
Slates is really and sincerely of the
opinion that the slavery clause has
been fairl) snd impartially submitted
to the free acceptance or rejection of
the people of Kansas, and thai, inas
much as dial was the exciting and par
amount question, if they get the right
to vole as ihey please on that subject
ihey ought to be satisfied ; and possi
bly it might be better if we would ac
cept it, and put an end to the question.
Lei me ask, sir, is the slavery clause
fairly submitted, so that the people
cau vote for or against it ? Suppioe 1
were a citizen of Kansas, and should
go up to the pills and say, M I desire
lo vote to make Kansas a Slavs Slate ;
here is n.y ballot." They reply to
me, "Mr. Douglas, iust vote for lhal
Constitution first, if you please."
"Oh, no !" 1 answer, " I can not vole
for that Constitutum conscientiously.
1 am opposed to the clause by which
you locate certain rail mat Is in such a
way as to sacrifice my county and my
part of tbe State. 1 am oppooed 10 that

fect of tbe schedule is tbis : ail tfaoo
wbo are in flavor of this Coo.su lotion
may vote for or against slavery, as
they please ; bat all those who are
against tbis Constiiuiion are diafran-
chitted, and shall not vote at all. That
is the mode in which tbe slavery prop
osition is submitted. Every main op
posed to tue Const itution is diafrao
. it 1 seil on the ahtvery chuue. How
many are they ? They bH you there
is a majority, for tbey say tbe consti
tution would be voted down inatantly,
by an overwhelming majority, if yon
allow a negative vote. This shows
that a majority ia against it. Tbey
disqualify and disfranchise ovary man
who ia against it, thus referring the
slavery clause 10 a minority of the
people ofHasBBsaa, and foav mg that mi
nority free to vote for or against tbe
slavery clause, aa they choose.
IS THAT FAIR ? QCOOSS FROM TBB
FBBS1BBVT.
Let me ask you if that is a fair
mode of submitting tbe slavery clause?
Does that mode of submitting that
particular clause Jeave the people per
fectly free to vote for against slavery
as tbey choose ? Am 1 tree to vote
as I choose on the slavery question, if
rim tell me 1 shall not vote on it until

I free to vote on the slavery question,
if you tell me that I shall not vote ei

goit
it?
freedom -of election? Is that the
great fundamental principle of eeLf
government, for which we combined
and struggled in this body and
throughout the country to establish aa
the rule of action in all time to come?
The President of tbe United State
has made some remarks in his message
which ii strikes me it would bo very
appropriate to read in this connection.
He says :

it been then mnmated from any quar
ter, and believed by the American peo
ple, that we would have submitted the
slavery clause in such a manner as to
compel s man to vote for that which
his conscience did not approve, ia or
der to vote ou the slavery lause, not
only would the idea have boon rejected
but the Democratic candidate for the
President would have been rejected ,
and every man who backed him would
have been rejected too.
Ii 1 COLAS W ILL sTAV WHEBE HE
THE PARTY MAT OO.
The President tells us in his
sage that the whole parly pledged our
faith and our honor ihal the slavery
question should be submitted to kbo
people, without any reatriotioa or
qualification whatever. Doos the
schedule submit II without quaiilua
11 .11 ? It qualitieo it by saying, "You
may vote on slavery if you will vote
for the constiiuiion; but you shall not
do so without doing that." Thtr. ia a
very important qualification a qu
bcaiioii confessedly in violation of
platform. We are told by the Preeri-
deut ibat our taub and our
bledcod that the slavery clause
be submitted without qualification of
any kind whatever ; and now am I to
bo called upon to forfeit my faith and
my honor in order to enable a small
nn nor uy of the people of Kaaaas to
defraud the majority of that people out
of iheir elective franchise ? Sir, say
honor is pledged ; and before it shall
be tarnished. 1 will lake whatever con -sequences
personal to myself may
come ; but never ask me to do an act
which the I'resident, in his message,
has said is a forfeiture of faith, a vio
lation of honor, and thai merely for
ihe expediency of saving the party.
1 will go as tar as any of you to save
lbe party. I have as much heart in
the groat cause that binds us together
as a party as any man living. 1 will
