VOL. XI. THE CABINET ON THE KANSAS QUES- TION. Lerrer rrom Postwadrer Gexerat Brown. = Wasntsaron City, Dec. 26, 1857. (ENTLEMEN :—You invite me to be present it the Democratic meeting to be held at Phila- riclpbie, on Monday evening next, ealled for the »parpose of endorsing the Message of Presi- dent Buchanan.”” L have already endorsed it by implication as one member of his Cabinet, but [ cannot let this oceasion pass without publicly making known my full. free and cordial approval of it How could I, how eould any true and old fash- joned Democrat, who had reared in the echool of Jackson and Polk, withhold his assent and support to the great and leading doctrines of that message’ On the present revulsion of our commerce and the disordered condition of our currenoy, with the various causes which pro- duced them—on all the questions which relat- ing to the disposal and management of our public domain, as well as those affecting our iatercourse with foreign nations, that message but ineulcates and enforces the same great doe- trines and principles, taught by those illus- ‘rious statesmen. On the absorbing topre of Kansas affairs, what has the President said or clone, which does not square precisely with the | erganic act of that Territery? and especially | what he has said or dune which does not square with precise and perfect accuracy with the Cin- cianati platform’ History, with its iron pen will record—it has already recorded—the fact that notasingle instruction has been given not a single letter bas been written by the President. or by his direction, that does nut berfeetly harmonise with the principles of that wlatform. That platform is the very embodi- ‘nent of the Democratic creed on the subject of sisvery, not only in Kansas but in all the other ‘Lerritories of the United States. It was adopt- ed for the express purpose of putting an end forever to a subject which had on several occa- sions made the Union to reel and stagger like a falling man. When adopted. it hecame, and for all time to come will continue to be. the fest and touchstone of Democratic loyalty. No ‘nan could then have been neminated—no man ean ever be nominated for the Presidency, who will not cordially, and without reservation ac- knowledge that creed. It declares that we Teeogaize “ the right of the people of all Ter- ritories, including Kansas and Nebraska, act- ing through the fairly expressed will of the majority of actual residents, whenever the number of inhabitants justifies it. to form a Constitation with or without domestic” slavery, and be admitted into the Union on terms of ~ perfect equality with the other States.” hese are the identical words of the Cincin- nati platform—the last “revised, corrected and improved edition’ of the Democratic creed. Hias the President in his message—in his in- structions, or in any way departed from it? The creed declares that the people of Kansas and Nebraska have the right, &e. Well, who called for a Convention? The people of Kan- i as through their own Legislature. Who voted | under the law on the question, whether it should be called or not? “The prapte of Kan- as. without one word of opposition by Con- { gress. Who voted for members of the Conven- | tion when it wascalled? The people of Kansas. Who are to vote on the final question. whether Kansas is to have a Constitution with or with- vut slavery, in the very language of our plat form? The people of Kansas. Thas it ap- pears that the foundation of every movement | in Kansas has been the popular will. Nov, | what has the President said or done in hia mes. sage or anywhere else, tocleave down this de- clared right of the people? What has he | clone? Why, what has he not done to uphold | and maintain it. He sent the army of the | Haited States, under one of its ablest generals, to Secure at every stage of their proceedings, the freest expression of the pepular will But the plattorm at Cincinnati declares that the question of S/7very shali be decided by the people of sas. It said not a word how the other domestic questions should he decided. or when. No body had ever doubted or questioned | the right of the people of that Territory to de- cide the relations of husband and wife. guar- dian and ward, &e.. in their own way and ac- cording to their own good will and pleasure Tie only matter ina tspute has been about | the question ot admitting or excluding S/arery | from the territe about nothing else; and «Dy man who now attempts to conjure up any viber point of controversy between the Black } Republican and Democratic party in relation | to the tervitories, hazards the loss of every vlana ty fairness and accuracy of argument. Wel, has the President said or done anything to abridge or impair the right of the people. to Settle this precise question of Slavery? So far frow it, 84 soon as it was known that the Con- vention #f Kansas had fixed on the 21st of the | psesent month for its settlement, he despatched | messengers with all possible speed, bearing or- ders to the proper ofheers to protect and defend the bona fide inhabitants of Kansasin the freest } and fullest exercise of their rights at the bal- lot- boxes But the most frequent objection taken to the action of the President on this Kansas eubject bas been that he has sustained the existing Territorial government of Kansas. and the le. gality of its recent Convention, whereas a snajority of the people are in fac oppored to both, and to the recognition of neither ia any form Or thape whatever. In the light of rea- “on and trath, and of the Cincinnati platform, yet us try the action of the President on this ebjection. The platform deolares that the suestion of slavery (no cther) is to be decided by the people. acting through the fairly ex- Pressed will of a majority, &c. A majority of whom’ Why, of those rotinz, not those who uo not er will notcome forward and vote at all, and whose numbers there are no means of determining. If they have an opportunity to vote aud will not ;—it Governors and Sccreta- ries, and Generals and soldiers are sent there by the President to gaard and protect them in voting, and yet they will uot, whois to blame’ If they take no concern i voting, is it not proof that they are willing to abide by the re- | sult produced by those who do vote. If they atay away and refuse to vote, because they will not reeognize the validity of that action, they will not yield obedience to the laws of the Legislature create? and authorized by the or because they will not recognise ia any form or shape the logatity of the late Convention, in any or all of these cases, what are they but factious and rebellious citizens, who decline the performance of every reason- able social duty, and stand out in open defi- ance to Congress, to their own legislation and the Democratic party to advance and exalt them to a perfect equality in all their rights to the people of the other States of the Union. How else are the President and Vice Presi- dent of the United States electel than by a majority of the votes cast in the election? How absurd would it be for citizens of the United States to contend that they were not lawfully the President and Vice President, because they had not been voted fur by a jua- | jority fall the citizens of the United States. What member of Congress or member of a State Legislature, could retain his seat if be bad & shew that Le not only received a major- ity of thove voting. but of the whole numberof citizens residing in his district. The argu- ment to sustain this objection against the President, is tov fallacious to deceive any sound and trac Democrat. The pride and glory of Democracy has always been to snbinit to the will of a majority. But her equal pride and glory has been to come up fairly to the polls and thereby show where the true legal majority really is. The true Deworrat never flinches from the performance of duty. and then whine and complain of his own deretictions The limits of such a letter as this will permit me © notice but one other objection urged against the President's Message, in connection | with this Kansas affair. It is often urged that | although the s/avery question has been refered | by the Convention to the pp of Kansas, and although the President taken every pre caution to poogte « fair vote uponit, yet. be- cause the whole Constitution has not been sub- mitted, the President ought not to have recom- mended her admission into the Union. In this, I ask, has he disregarded the Cincinnati plat- form, on which he was placed and proudly elected by the Democratic party. I hold every Democrat who was at that Convention, or who was represented there—every aspirant to the honors which it had to bestow, and every Dem- oerat who sustained its nominee, to that touch- stone of party loyalty, and demand to know if that platiorm required any other than the ela- rery question to be submitted to the people? If it did not, James Buchanan was not bound to go beyond it: and that Democrat who now requires him to do so, interpolates the platform, deseorates the proud record, and himself stands a heretic and deserter to the true recorded faith of the party. The submission of any other juestion than the slavery one was not provided for, and was left to be determined by the au- thorities of Kansas in their own way, as was done in all the other States, with or without the submission of the Qonstitution, after it was formed, to the people for ratification, just ae they might please. It is thus that the Prosi- dent s recommendations equare preaisely with the words and requirements of our platform of principles. But gentlemen, the President's recommenda- tions in my humble opinion, may be placed on much higher grounds, challenging the com- plaints of all comers and goers disposed to abandon the Democratic party and to go over touts Black Republican eremies. The plat- form reeugnizes the right of the people of the Territories to form Constitutions with or with- out slavery. It was never intended to be in contradistinetion to the right of any Kansas Constitition to adopt a Coustitution without referring it to popular rat ion, but a right in contradistinction to that claimed by Con- gress to dispose of that subject. The two great parties divided on the issue. The Black Re- publicans claimed it for Congress, the Demo- cratic pacty claimed it for the people of Kan- sus. The parties had fought repeated battles on the issue. The Democrats met at Cincin- nati, in preparation for a contest on it, more fearful aud doubtful than any which had pre- ceded it. They again solemnly reaffirmed that the right to have slavery or not wasin the peo- ple of the Territories and not in Congress, and on that issue they fonght and conqueied. One of the best frnits of that victory has been that the people of Kansas have gone on in theirown way, at their own to legislate for themselves, to cull their own Convention, to frame their own Consttution, and now to present them- selves for admission into the Union, in exact and perfect conformity with the Constitution of the United States, and the assurances given by the Demooratic party in Convention as- sembled. When Kansas so presents herself, the President in his message announces her approach, he details the story of her trials and conflicts in thus getting ready for adinission, and recommends to Congress favorable action upon ber application. Is it for this that he is now to be denounced’? He and the Democratic party in Congress have secured to the people of Kansas the enjoyment and exercise of the great right of self-govern- jnent in its broadest sense. They have stood by them through all the horrors of rebellion and civil war, and brought them safely to the doors of Congress, knocking for adinission into | the great family of American States. who now threatens to refuse her admission. That very Blaek Republfcan party which always denied this right to the people of Kaneas te settle the slavery question for themselves, but maintain- | ed that Congress alone should exercise it, they how revive the claim on the part of Co i] to set aside the decision of the people of Kan- sas—abrogate their action both in form and substanoe, and to transfer to Congress the high and dangerous powers which threaten at no distant day to shake the Union to its centre — The old issue is revived—the issue that was fought on the Wilmot pxovi: On the passage ot the compromise measures—tbe issue that was fought in the last Presidential contest on the Cincinnati plattyrm. In this renewed con- test over this all-absorbing subject, | sincerely hope that no Democrat that stood with us and by usin the Cincinnati Convention, flashing | defiance in the face of the enemy, will now be found ranged under the bauners of that enemy, faithless to Democracy—taitbless to its plat- form—and faithless to that illustrious leader whose days and nights have been devoted with an assiduity almost threatening to destroy him. to the maintainance of the great principle of popular rights in Kansas sh everywhere else throughout the Union And for what is this old issue to be revived, and this dangerous question te be kept open for further and continued agitation? Not for the benefit of the people of Kansas, that is im pos for they could have settled it at any eleetion recently held, by simply guing to the polls and depositing their ballots. [t is r - Vived for the benefit of the Black Republican party in Kansas and out of it, in order to put down the Democratic paaty of the Union That party will make adreadful struggle, in Con- grees and out of it, in order to carry the Presi- dential election of 1860. In the meantime, while fanatics and demagogues are playing with this fire brand, for their own ae ment, look to the condition of the hundreds aud thousands of good and true men, who are living in Kansas and needing the protection which an organized and stable government alone can give. They are living away in the wilderness, exposed to the ravages of marau- ders and murderers, who roam in gangs over the Territory, destroying and plundering the roperty, or shooting dewn its inhabitants. The Convention of Kansae seem to have only appreciated this state and condition of, affairs, and to have determined to give to the well-dis- posed and peaceable families of Kansas, the protection of a stable government, during that indefinite period, throughout which the slavery agitation mizht be kept up both in and out of the ferritory f such were the motive, I cannot but approve and applaud, whilst | invoke the aid of every true Democrat—of every one who siood with us on the passage of the Kansasand Nebraska act—who stood with him on the Ci cinnati platform—of every one who desires to se the preservation of the Constitution and our glorious Union, to stand by the President in admitting Kansas into the Union, with or without slavery, as the people shall have de- termined by their votes on the 2Ist day of the present month. When she is admitted the resident can recall his army, and put an end to that spectacle, as painful to him as to any gue else, of having to sce an armed goldiery ¢alled out to preserve the peace. and to exe- eute the laws of any portion of this country. When admitted, she can conduct her own af- fairs in herown way, without disturbing the peaceful and friendly relations of. other por- tions of the Union. ‘The occasion ix an invi- ting one, and the temptation is strong to go farther and deeper into this great subject ; but 1 must not forget the impropriety of doing so, and therefore conclude with the confident ex- peciation that your meeting will give a unani- mous endorsement to one of the best and mogt orthodox Messages sent to the American Con- gress.

John Phoenix is out on “Brahma.” He is confident that he has discovered the key to the mystery. Read his letter to the Mobile Regis- ter of the 9th instant : Ed. Register : The following lines, published in the Atlantic Monthly by R. W. Emerson, Esq., have attracted much attention, not so much in consequence of their beauty, or other intrinsic merits, as from the fact that nobody can understand, for the life of him, what the man ineans : BRAHMA. If the red slayer thinks he slays, Or if the slain think he is slain, They know not well the subtle ways 1 keep, and pass, and turn again The fact is, that Emerson had lately learned the game of Euchre, and being fascinated there- with, wished to express his feelings on the sub- ject, but being quite unable to do so in ordi- nary English, untortunately got off the above extremely mystifying stanza. A little careful consideration of the terms used convinces one of this atonce. Thus ‘the red slayer’ refers to the Right Bower, (probably the Jack of Hearts ;) ‘the slain’’ is, andlbabindiy the Left Bower, not Foenied, and you perceive that Emerson probably euchered his adversary by “passing,”’ keeping the Ace and some strong cards, and coming again after the Bowers were out. Now all this might have been much more simply expressed, as for instance : RUCHRE. If the Right Bower is in one hand, And the * Left” holds anotber place, Ye little know why f did stand, I held three trumps—the King and Ace! This explanation is made to saye Emerzon’s reputation in the matter; he waganold school- mate of mine in former years, and we were af- terwards engaged in the tin business together, he was always # well-meaning man, aud it is a pity he should be considered a fool on account of gome eccentricities of expression.
