Isaac Toucerr. i WASHINaTox, December 26, 1857. Gentlemen :—I have bad the hono; to re- ceive your letter inviting me to be present at a blic meeting to be held in the city of Phila- Iphia, on Monday the 28th of December, “for the purpose of endorsing the message of Presi- dent Buchanan, especially that part of it re- commending the speedy admission of Kansas as a State, under a constitution framed in pursu- auce of lawful authority.”’ 1 regret that it will not be possible for me to be present on theoccasion, and to join with you in the demonstration of public sentiment w! ich it will elicit. While the message of the President has com- manded in a most remarkable degree the ap- probation and confidence of the country, noone of its suggestions has been more warmly ap- plauded than that Kansas has long engaged too arge a share of public attention. Fort last few years it has been the engrossing topic to the exclusion or prejudice of almost ever: other subject of great national concern. We had been engaged in a long protracted and bitter evnflict for the right ot the people, among them Ss, and for themselves. in every legally or- l community, whether State or Terri- , to settle the slavery question in their own withont external interference. Non-inter- vention and popular sovereignty had triumph- edin the Presidential election, and we ad reached the point when the question had been subnritted to the people of Kansa’, and was to be passed — by asthe £0/e question in # popular election. This was the sole question in Congress, the sole question in the Territoty, the sole question with the the coun- try, regarding the affairs of K. and when that all engrossing question was submitted to the people of Kansas it was the policy of the ident to secure its decision by the people of Kansas. and thus relieve the country of -its eternal agitation. No consideration of respon- sibility or unpopularity could induce him to torezo a consummation which the discharge of his duty exacted at his hands. Concurring in the patriotic wish to secure Tepose to the coun- try, knowing that the Territorial Legistature first submitted it to the people whether a Con- vention should be ealled for the purpose of framing a Constitution—that it thén provided by law for the election of such Convention by — suffrage—tbat the Convention thus le- ally chosen, asserted and exercised the right of forming a Constitution as had often been done, without deeming it necessary to submit it for subse yuent satification-~that the people in their sovereign capacity, were unrestricted in their power to establish a Constitution by prior direction or by subsequent assent—that whether they had exercised their power inone or the other mode, was a question between them and their agents, for the solution of which they were entirely com nt—and that the decision hy popalar vote of the question submitted to them, which had so long agitated the Territory and the country, would be a peaceful settle- mentef it inthe mode and manner contem- plated by the organic law—it was impossible to entertain any doubt as to the line of pélicy proper to be adopted. Certainly, when he slavery question was submitted fo the direct vote of the people, there was not the slightest apology for resorting to the ngher law cf re- sistance and revolution, but the plain and ob- vious path of Constitutional duty was to ac- quiesoe and to secure the people in the unin- terrupted exercise of the right of suffrage in that election, that there might be a°decisive popular verdict upon the issue submitted te them. As to all other abstract or practical questions, outside of that issue, properly sab- Ject_to the action of a State, there neither had ve@H. nor was likely to be. any great difficulty, as it would remain with the sovereign State of | Kansas to dispose of them according to its own sovereign will and pleasure. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully. Isaac Tovcry. To Messrs. (ieorge Plitt, Wm. H. Witte, Geo. ad - Berrell, Jesse Johnson and William VY. Metirath, Committee, &c. Letter Frou Hos. J. 8. Brack. Wasutnetox, Dec. 25, 1857. Gentlemen:—I am honored by your invita- tion to the meeting of Monday next. I cannot be there, but I believe your purpose to be just, and I trust Lam not without a reason for the faith thatis within me. If the President has done his duty well, his tellow citizons ought to express their approbation freely. That he has meant well for his country, will not be de- nied by any reasonable man whe knows him lie has no objest of earthly ambition, except to perform the mnctions of his good office, so that when he retires from it he may read his history in the eyes of a contented and prospervus na- tion. What has he done in this affair of Kaasas thet is worthy of death or bonds’ mit. complicated, and entangled as that subject bas always been, wherein haz he failed to meet it like 4 patriotigstatesman’ Let his acousers stand forth and specify what act he has com- mitted which should forfeit the confidence of the Democracy ia “the leader they love, ard the chief they admire.” When the Administration began he found a portion of Kansas like Utah, in a state of organized and open rebellion against the laws. The most infamous crimes had been habitually committed. Murder, arson and robbery were common things. Some of the immigrants were bad men, and went there for base pu : They would be ruled by nothing but t 'O- pet, and accordingly two thousand bayoncts were sent there to keep themin order. But the very Iatest advices show that even the presence of the army has not been suficient tu awe them inte submission, or prevent them from Cummitting the most atrocicus outrages. The natural desire of the President's heart, and every houest heart in the country, was to put an end to the reign of terrer, conflagration aud blood, a3 soon as possible, and to substi- tute at its place the supreme and peaceable rald6f the law. The army mightdofora while. but it was disgrace to the-American name that a military force was necessary to keepone portion of the people from cutting the throats of another. It was plainly seen by every one who took the trouble to think abvat it. that no progress could be made in suppressing these disorders, while the cause and the exeuse for them re- mained. So far as they were not’prompted by the mere love of plunder and blood, they were the offeprings of the relentless feud, one fatal dispute, arising out of a single subjec and that subject was negro slavery. This split the people asunder, and made them hate each other with the deepest intensity of hatred. There was no other division among them Bvery band of combatants was ranged under a re-slavery or an anti-pro-slavery banner. recy violent act of aggression or defence was one of these parties against the other hen a life was lost the news of the victim's death was always weompanied by a statement of the side he had taken on the slavery issue If a general riot took place, the killed and wounded were enumerated according to their i on his i rg mena i ni their party into the form of a ee eet, vite all its machinery, civi military, and ranging themselves un- MET tne ropuindiy oonctited nathor’ hostility to the lany uw - ties ot the Dsited States, simply because of their views on slavery. This was not all. The eoutest extended itself from Kansas to the ut- termost ends of the eountry wage oe great sectional ‘controversy, and everywhere the burden of all that was said and sung ry it, was slavery. The Union itself was in dun- \- b ger—in grest and imminent danger—aond no one dreamed of aseribing that danger to any cause except the slavery question ta Kansas. in these umhappy circumstances, the legal { satisfactory aettiemensof this rs mom consummation most devoutly hed. To extirpate this root of bitterness ‘pute was a | i nsettled cyndition of the ee mre mee on . t VOL. XI. was the first thing to be done towards tion. But how was it to be offec political opponents thought—and I suppose are still of the same opinion—that the people of the United States, through their rej ifion: ? Our f the resenta- tives in Congress, might decide it without con- sulting Kansas, whose people, according to their theory, should be treated with utter con- tempt. But the Democratic determined to leave it with those who alone were direct! concerned in it, This latter doctrine was tri- =e sustained in Congress, at the polis, and by the judiciary. After that the General Government could do no more than protect the people of Kansas in doing the wor assigned them. How they should do it, by what agents or organs, was not prescribed ; they were to do it “in their own way’’—by such representa- tives as they might see proper to choose. But unfortunately the Abolition party had ine so rancorous. that the olive branch was offered them in vain. They insulted and blas- phemed the laws which left the matter to their own decision. The regular authorities could do no more than give all a fair chance of vo- ting. The Legisicture first passed a law sub- mitting the question of * Convention” or «no Convention” to apopular vote. The next Le- fostare afterwards, in accordance with the nown wishes of the ple, and by Virtue of their own rightful authority, enacted another law for the election of delegates to a Conven- tion The delegates were chosen at a fair and free election, after a full notice to all the vo- ters. Whether the vote was large or sinall, it is not possible to-deny the right of those who were chosen. To say that a pertion of the ¢lectors, by absenting themselves from the polls, could invalidate an election otherwise legal and regular, is simply absurd. he members of the Convention thus chosen Inet at Lecompton, and then was raised the alarm that the delegates, or some of them, in- tended to make a slave Constitution in opposi- tion to what they knew to be the will TF the people. While the President saw that he had no right to interfere between the cople of Kansas and their own re resentatives, and while be kuew very well what was known to every other lawyer and statesman in the coun try, that it was for the Convention to shape the Constitution, ad to decide upon the form of its submission, he nevertheless expressed his opinion freely, thatin thecircumstances of the ease, and with reference to that question of slavery, the Constitution ought to be sabmit- be it was submitted—so submitted that if ere was ® majority opposed to slavery, the bad nothing in the world to do but Aus the polls and say so. But the moment the Abolitionists enw the whoie disposition of the slavery subject placed im their own hands, they abandoned apparent- ly all their hostility to it. They will not con- lescend, hot they, to vote on a quesion 80 trifling. The principle for which they were willing to drench the country in blood, has all atonce become too insigufieant to be worth a ballot. Something else in the orgatic law never thought of before, and not specified even pow, has suddenly become so mportant in their eyes, that the slayery question may be decided against them for aught they care about it, unless this new and undefined and unex- pressed grievance be redresved at the same time. To me it seems perfectly clear that conduet like this must be prompted cither by Prejudice almost insane, or else by hypocrisy shamelees beyond the reach of comparison. If the Convention has no legal hority to make a Convention without submitting the whole of it to a popular vote, then this Consti- tation ought to be treated asa nullity. But whosvever denies the general power of the Fratte to clothe their representatives with ; full aathority to ake a Conatitution binding | On themselves and their constituents, knows not whereof he affirms. All reason as well us | precedent is against him ‘The power of the Lecompton Convention was certainly not restricted, except on the subject of slavery. Butif its meinbers abused their authority by fraudulently inserting any other provision which they knew to be wrong or be- lieved to be disapproved by their constituents, and dishonestly retused tu submit it then, it should-be regarded with the contempt due to a cheat. But where is the evidence of any such fraud? The Convention had no motive to commit it. They and their constituents did not differ on the necessity of huving a Consti- tutivn, not on any but one subject embraced within its provision. On every other subject the unanimity of opinion was as perfect as it ever was ip any of those States wherea Consti- tution was not submitted at all. It is easy envugh to abuse these men, but a fair minded person will not accuse them without , nor suspect them in the absence of a motive. For myeelf, I think it was not unfair, certainly not fraudulent, for them to adjust all the un- disputed points of their overument by the ex- ercise of their delegated authority and toleayve the subject on which there was ‘livision, to a fair vote of the people. The President seeing a Constitution about to be established for Kansas, by legal authority, what could he do? He might regret some things that were done—ho might disapprove of others—he might wish that it had been differ- ent in many respects; but «till it was the law- ful work of a lawtal body. Could he set it aside? Could he order the election not to be beid under it? Could he drive the people away from the polls? He had no more powor to do any of these things than he had to veto an act of the Pennsylvania Legislature. ce then there was to be an clection on the ee gee of slavery, and an opportanit; given for a full show of hands, he expressed his wish fervently and freely that all the people, laying aside their animosities and prejudices, should come to the polls and there peacefully decide a question which, 2s long as it remained open, would produce nothing but excuses for ¢rime and rebellion. He believed that a de- cision of this question by aclean majority of votes, would give peace and order to Kansas, and with all his beart he wished her to enjoy those blessings, even though she should pur- ase them at the expense of postponing the stment of other points to afuture and more @ropitious time. If these sentiments have chused the 97 ition to abuse him, it cannot be heiped ; if they have afflicted the conscienss of any honest man, [ am sorry—if-any intelli gent Democrat misunderstands them, an ap- peal to his reason and judgment will goon set him right. Of one thing I am sure: that James Buchanan is the last public man in the country who need fear the place which will be assigned to him in the.history of those proceed - ing*; and this will be proved to the heart's content of all who live long enough to see the accounts up. I am, with great respect, yours, &c., J.8. Brace. To Geo. Pitt, Esq., aud others, Committee. Letrer rrou tar Hox. J. Taompsoy. > Wasuixaton City, Dec. 26, 1857. Guytiemex: Your letter honoring mewith an tation to attend a mass meeting of the Demoo of Philadelp! be held on Mon- day, the 23th inatant, was reecived to-day. — y official duties require my entire attention at this time, and [ regret that [ sball therefore be anable to t your invitation. P| The President, in his m sets forth with + force and clearness the policy of the Dem “voratic party as icable to the present state of the country; it should be the pleasure, as itis the duty of all true Democrats lapdbee that polley; ond thus to aid him in the arduous labore which existing difficulties have imposed him. { ee ater, however, from the call for this meet- ‘ing! that you, the old, well-tried friends pf Mr. Pebtekd wan to give him aseurante our sapport of-tbe policy he has adopted in relation to Kansas; apd, ip doing 80, you are perform- ing a duty a¢citicensof your glorious dd Gom- mon thewhich well becomes you. In thus your approval of bis course. you are but le P lence wer in; aid of ir influence to the that Territory, and the blessings of good gov- ernment be secured to its le. The ne and welfare of the country de- mand that the members of the Democratic party throughout the Union shall harmoniously and courageously co-operate in sustaining his policy. Let the Democracy with firm and steady step and with closed ranks, march for- ward to the accomplishment of its patrictic purposes, and the dangers which beset our path- way will disappoar, and sectional strife will cease. Every one concedes that the population of Kansas is sufficient to justify its admission into the Union asa State. In pureuance.of an act of the Territorial Legislature, the le deci- ded in favor of calling a Convention to forth 4 State Constitution, On that expression of the popular will, the Legislature authorized the election of delegates toa Convention for that or geet This Convention has met aud adopted a Constitution. Ropublican in its form, and Democratic in its provisions. There was one— and only one—question of deep and exciting interest to the people of the Territory, and of the whole country, and that was the only ques- tion which had in any way affected the public peace and harmony. This was the question whether Kansas should bea free State or a stave State, and this the Cenvention bas wisely submitted to a direct voteof the people. It was earnestly hoped and desired by all patriots that as lovers of order and peace, the people of the Territory would freely give expression to their sentiments on this subject, and carry out their views by their votes at the election, which bad been ordered. The opportunity was given, the appoal was. made, the people of Kansas were called upon to decide the character of their domestic insti- tutions in their own way, and no Democrat, from the North to the South, who regards good . faith, and who adheres to just principles, will fail to abide by the decision of the people. If they decide that the Constitution chall be sent here wiih no slavery, the Democrat of the South who iefuses to respect that decision, re- udiates his often repeated pledges, and dis- faa himself. If they decide that tne slave- ry clause shall be inserted, the Northern Dem- ocrat who resists it, breaks his faith, and for- feits all claim to be trusted T hope the vote on the 21st inst. was full and decisive, but if it should appear that the citi- zens of Kansas have refused to vote, because they are indifferent to the result, or from a lawless and factious spirit, I know of no method of coercing them. But when a Constitution thus framed in ac- cordance with law, is submitted to Congre the doctrine of non-intervention established by the Kansas-Nebraska bill ‘which organized those Territories, requires that the action of the povple of Kansas should be respected, and that the Constitution which they have sent up should be accepted. The Democratic party is the party of law and order, and of the Constitution. It has beenits destiny to move on under the banner of the Union, and as the timid, the selfish, and the time-serving have faltered and fallen, its co- horts bave marched over their prostrate forms. That Laeks is still engaged in its high miseion of upholding and maintaining the rights of every section and of every citizen, and it should be the aim of every Democrat to pre- serve its ranks unbroken, and to cherish that spirit of union and harmony which is essential to enecese. Let the Keystone Democracy, assembled at Philadelphia, the birth-place of the Declara- tion of Independence, come forth in their ma- jeety and power, and let them speak:in a voice that shall be heard with gladness by every true patriot throughout the land. This danger once passed. a bright future opens up for our happy country. Jelieving that a zealous patriotism prompts your action, and will guide your proceedings and assuring you that my heart is with you, i am, with great respect, your obedient servant, J. THompson.
