In the history of this Republic our foie fathers were called upon to encounter a crisis that Jid indeed try a a men a after the lapse of More than half a event urn we Are called upon to ire t a crisis that will a try menus How it s to , the god of heaven Only Driows it a. A 1 have been reflecting seriously As to my duty in this critical juncture in the political i flairs of oui county. I do not know that my opinions upon any subject would be of much value to any one. I am hut an Humble citizen occur ing in the conflict of political warfare now being carried on throughout a the length and breadth a of this fair land no Verj position. I am but a Spectator of scenes that arc passing Belore me. Deeply interested in the Prosperity of our common country devoted to the constitutional rights of my native South and cherishing a sincere desire for the perpetuity of our blessed a line can Union. I do not hesitate for a moment to yield to my lioness conviction of duty. The poor iii cities that a kind provi hence has bestowed upon me shall not lie inert shall not be wasted in supine repose or Rani in in criminal inactivity when the interests of my native land demand their speedy and their Active exercise a fhe energies of my Niini and body Are and shall be zealously and industriously devoted to the service of my country. If i May he Able to suggest an idea orto conceive a thought that shall in any Wise contribute to Udvance the interests of our eos Noii country and to the Honor and dignity and constitutional rights of my Peculiar Section i shall feel that i have done my duly that my task shall have been performed and shall leave the results in the hands of the people relying upon a kind i evidence that has watched Over and our government from infancy Down to the present time to inspire them with Wisdom to Imide and ili rect their counsels and at the last moment to interpose and slay the hand that would ruthlessly destroy this the fairest fabric of human government upon the Earth Ami the last Hope for Freedom in the world. atlended the Charleston convention As a Delegate from the slate of Georgia sensibly impressed with the responsibility of the position and with an ardent desire that Llie discordant elements in tic National democratic party might terminate by cultivating a spirit of Concession and fraternal feeling. I Iliad hoped that the integrity of this political organization under which our country has prospered for Mote than half a cent Ury would not have been Clang rcd for when it Falls the Union of our fathers will not Long instead of finding myself in a National democratic convention assembled for the purpose of Piroino Tibig the great interest of our country and of reiterating the Cardinal principles of that party i was not a Little Sui prised to find myself in a Douglas convention insisting with a Pertinacity almost without a parallel in my Knowles age of the history of political parties iii this country for tie adoption of a in la Forin to suit the Peculiar views of this distinguished gentleman anti manifesting a determination equally As inflexible to place him upon it with his garments stained with the blood of the Lecompton constitutions As the nominee of the Paity for a highest Olliee in the gift of the american people. Yen tie highest office ill the wot id this impression was Orif Irinel by every act by every movement of the friends of or. Douglas in this convention. A in hey stood by him to the last. They seemed deter Mitick to Force him upon the i South Uliey continued to cast their ballots fur him with but slight variations until finding it utterly impossible to nominate him they adjourned to assemble at Dalti Inore at a future Day and invited the seceding slates to appoint Haxo delegates this was manifestly tiie intention of this invitation to attend that convention in other words to appoint dui Iglus delegates to Supply the places of those delegates Whu had withdrawn Are the people of Georgia pc paid to yield to the request of this. Douglas cd invention in this respect Are they prepared to repudiate the action of a Large majority of their delegates to the Charleston convention who fell it to be their solemn duty a duty they owed to a proud a Gallant and a patriotic constituency to demand a recognition of their constitutional rights.? a report had been submitted to the convention la trough the chairman of the committee composed of okie Delegate from each stale in which report a majority of the committee had concurred the states of Oregon and California voting with the fifteen Southern a oink Init tee wits appointed by the conventi Dii for the express purpose of preparing a platform of principles for adoption and yet when agreed upon by a majority of the committee and Sib fitted to the convention was promptly and defiantly voted Down and the report of the minority of that committee adopted. This is the standing Point of the the origin of the difficulty Between the Douglas democrats in the convention that led to the withdrawal of the seceding states. Allow me to ask what sentiment or what enunciation of principle contained in this majority report so obnoxious to these Douglas Deino Tirats ? Quot Quot tie South sked for not Liing More than a recognition of her Rigits under the Constitution and an enforcement of the decision of the supreme court of the United states. It is Well understood that the doctrine of non intervention As contained in the Kansas and Nebraska act of slavery in any territory nor to prohibit the of slavery therein nor any Power to exclude slavery therefrom nor any Power to destroy or impair the right of property in slaves let a any legislation i wish you my countrymen to listen to me calmly. I i Tenil to speak to you dispassionately in his is no time for excitement. It is a time for grave and profound meditation. I intend to submit to you a few Plain simple propositions coughed in plan terms. 1 desire to be understood�?1 Hope my position will not be inisconstrute._then.be-itient May hear me a it is your cause then be patient that you May hear me it is the cause of your children then be patient that you May hear me it is the cause of your country then be patient that you May hear. The territories of the United states Are the common property of the people of the United states. During 1854, and in the Cincinnati platform j their organic existence their vitality us a. A in a territorial condition entirely Antler the control of Congress Congress May at any moment repeal the act organizing the territory then it ceases to exist. The officers of a a in territory both executive judicial and , Are appointed and paid by the Federal government. The territory is the creature of Congress Congress breathes the breath of life into nostrils. Yet strange to relate the advocates of this squatter Sovereign heresy while they deny the right of Congress to legislate slavery into a territory or to prohibit introduction by any legislation whatever contend that the people of the territory themselves the squatters Quot a have a right to Settle this question involving the rights of Southern slaveholders with four millions of slaves thus giving the offspring a Power Paramount to the parents to the agent a Power greater than the principal. This is indeed a political Para a Dox. The South s not prepared to admit the Validity of this doctrine. Under the Broad this of the Constitution the slaveholder has As much right to emigrate to the a i Crri tories of the United states with his slaves As the Yankee pedlar has to go there and vend his i cutback jewelry his Mer eff Sinisc. As Soons the a Din of Bat to cd a had ceased and the smoke of Conquest had passed away and our Flag floated in Triumph Over the Halls of the Montezuma this Yankee pedlar fresh trom the shores of Connecticut and , went a tingling and jingling a through the territories with his tin cups and brass rings a the lord of All lit he selects a valuable claim on the Public Domain makes a comfortable Home for himself and his family and constitutes a voter who is to determine the rights of the Southern Mun in the territory and As a matter of course to exclude him from any participation in it for if lie is not permitted to go there with his slave property he will hot go there at has this Yankee pedlar the right to determine this question ? 1 admit Liat a Sovereign in Georgia is a Sovei Eigio in Nebraska. The change of his habitation from a state to a ter Tilory does not divest him of his sovereignty. A congregation of sovereigns in a territory under the control of Congress which it selfish Only the common agents of the several states have no Power to control the tenure of property the existence and Validity of who clip is recognized by the Constitution of the United states authority As far above Congress As the heavens arc above the Earth. Sovereignty acknowledges no earthly Superior it is the a Summum Juris a territory possesses no Sove eighty in territorial condition. Of 1856, upon which it is True the democratic party Rode into Power in tie triumphant election of James Buchanan president of the United Stales did admit of two constructions and it is equally True that president Buchanan in his letter of acceptance did in it i a ate a willingness to slam by and maintain this doctrine of non intervention but at the same time announced that slavery went into the Leni tories it it of the United states under the f Edural Constitution and As a legitimate Consequencc, was Ititlcd to the Protection of the government. Surely if our government dem aulds redress for injuries done to the persons or property of her Loyal citizens in foreign lands surely if she sends out armed fleets sailing under the invincible a stars and stripes a to demand indemnity for injuries done to tie property or person of in american citizen by a foreign government or citizens by sea or land a she is under obligations cd tally As Strong to protect her citizens in the peaceable enjoyment of their property and in tie rights of personal Liberty and personal Sec Uii a on her own soil and within her own jurisdictional limits. But this clause in the Cincinnati platform of 1s56, upon the subject of Sidn intervene Imp teas a Sun Bop Tihle iof two , and was so expounded. It was ambiguous in meaning or the advocates of squatter sovereignty give it an improper i he South desired this principle settled by the convention in Plain and explicit terms by the adding a few explanatory resolutions to the Cincinnati platform so that tor the future it might be construed in one Way to mean one things and that All might understand what it did mean. We wanted a platform that the people the honest masses might be Able to despotism exerts Power to Fetter the intellect and to circumscribe the Freedom of thought among the republics claim the right to enlighten the mind whether it is found in the Humble cottage or to e gilded Palace. Or. Stephens in his letter to the Macon committee admits that Liis doctrine of non intervention is obscure that it has been discussed for years and months in Congress on the hustings in the Public journals without arriving at any definite or satisfactory conclusion in regard to meaning and yet lie that As the National democratic party have heretofore agreed that the Princile As feet fourth in the Kansas and Nebraska act and the Cincinnati platform should be a Settle trient of the questions he is willing now to abide by it. If tins principle of non intervention is yet so vague and yet so Little under stood surely there can be no sound objection except on tie score of parly tactics 01 of parly policy to allow the introduction or addition of a few Plain anti simple resolutions of an sex ply Nalory character. But or. Stephens a and is you All May know it non intervention came Short of what i . It was in my View not the full measure of our rights that require to in my judgment tie enactment by Congress of All needful for Llie Protection of slave property in the territories so Long As the territorial condition lasted a and that s nil that the anti Douglas portion of the democracy of Georgia do site. Or. Sie Plains has stated explicitly what we want and what Ilie de i Sion of the supreme out we ought to have he believes it to be rights and yet he contends that it would be acting in bad Faith to our Brethren of the North simply Nowto ask them to give us what a he would be right and what the decision of tie supreme court we Are entitled to receive. The majority Leport contains the following. , Only two of which i will read to you As the others Are nof involved in this controversy a �?o1st. Resolved that the. Platform adopted at Cincinnati be affirmed with the following Resolution. Re in tved that the democracy of the United states hold these Cardinal in Sciples on the subject of a slavery in the a it territories 1st. That Congress has a a Power to abolish slavery in the Tel stories. 2nd.�?~ to h territorial Legislatures have no Power to abolish Evhen a Teni tory s prepared to adopt a Constitution Aud to ask into the Confer Cracy As a slate and is admitted then and not till then she becomes a Sovereign. Then her minority ceases site becomes of age site arrives at the full measure of manhood As far As sovereignty is concerned. She no Lunger has a Guai Dinn. At this stage of her exist Nee she May deter Luivie whether she will or will not have slavery As a part of her social system. This is tie True i doctrine in my Immele opinion a congregation of sovereigns does not by any Means always Imp the presence of Sovereign Power. I May invite a number of gentlemen to my House they assemble and make up a congregation of sovereigns but they have no right to expel me from my Domicil because they happen to occupy it temporarily. The government invites Ein ignition to Settle up her Territories�she gives the settler Preemption lights &c., but be does not Confer upon tii Ein the attributes of sover eighty because a she cannot bestow what she does not herself sovereignty resites in the states it is unit�?it is invisible. The Federal government is the creature of the the agent of the states for specific purposes. A. It is the duty of Congress to. Prof act the citizens if the United states in the peaceable of their properly in the territories whether it be goods a War Esnier Chandike hogs horses and cattle or slave property. Weiri ight go even further and say that More dignity and should be attached to slave property than to a in other prop Effy Froin the very fact that tie Crit to a Titus in of the United states recognizes it w Hile it makes no mention of any other Spe pics of personal property. The allegiance of a citizen is due to his stale while a citizen of Safe and not to the Federal Govi f a Legi Ance to government and Protection by government ate correlative terms. A in he Sovereign demands alien Giance from subject and when Llie a Sovereign fails to protect the us Heel in the enjoyment of their Rig Lilse the right of personal Liberty personal Security and private properly she forfeits her Tigh to allegiance from the u Jet. This is1 confederation of the citizen owes allegiance to ilits state of which i he is an Liin the Federr i government wants services it Calls on tie state she or leis and the citizen obeys. La ii state in Trio has an equal Eliare in tie territories and each i tip. Zen As an inhabitant of the stale has a Rig lit to Settle in the territories. Alien lie does so lie la rows of Liis allegiance to tie state and then and imly then he becomes a citizen of the unit Etc slates Anil his allegiance the re and is to tilled with his property to the Protection of the United . The Territ Mirial government Lias no sovereignty and to talk of allegiance to any thing not Sovereign is singly Dicu ious. This the we Loie of Protection in a riot hell. Even a state a heist determines by Constin Lution that slavery Liall riot exist Vii Liiri limits cannot legitimately Emancia Pate the slaves found on soil at Llie time of the adoption of Constitution. Liis would be interfering wit i vested rights. Such a provision in any state Constitution should be perspective and not retroactive in operation. But a word in regard to the Cli Arat ter of the population who according to senator Douglass notions of a squatter sovereignty a have the Power to determine upon the a Glits of fifteen Sovereign Stales of this refer to Elliis subject with no Inlet toil to disparage tin bold the enterprising ant industrious Pioneer but it is a fact Vivell known and will not be denied that tie Early settlers of most of our new , Are heterogeneous in their habit their views education Mode of to linking &c., Compo Seil usually of men of broken fortunes in the states wit i a very considerable proportion of foreigners who know but Little of the nature of our governing it it Acle Rof our political .
