Doug- tas, Delivered in the State Byuse, at Spcing- field, Ulimots, Jung 3°, 1857, Mx PREADENT, J\pins AND GeymigMeN—I appear before ou Weight, wt the requeet of the Grand Jury in atten- ‘dance upto the Unised Siates Court, for the purpose of st mitting my views upon certain topics upoa which they have expressed a desire to bear my opinion. It was not my purpose when J arrived among you to have engaged in any publie or political discussion; but when called pon by a body of ‘men £0 intelligent and respectable, coming from hana Se Rete, pas camaevted with the atninbtration public justice, I'do not feel at liberty to witho'd a full and frank expression of my opinion upon the subjects to which they bave referred, and which now epgroeses £0 large a share of the public attention. Seoond—Tho principles affirmed by Supreme Court Of the United States in the Dred Soott cage. Taird—The condition of things ia Utah, and the sppro- iaie remedice for existing evils. wrUttbe Kansas westion but little need be said at the present time, You are * with the history of the qaestion, bsequent reflaction hay i g F | i ij g E Z 5 i i 5 z 8 to hope end interpreted = impartially executed, 80 as every bona inbabitant the free and quiet exercige of the elective fran- chige. If aoy portion of the inhabitants, acting under the advice of poiliical leaders int distant States, hall choose to absent themselves from the ils, aad withhold their yotea witbavic of leaving the frv Siate democrats ina minority, and (hus in ion t ” 0 living under wt, let the isan purposes, will promote ‘ic party is determined to ples of the organis act The present election law ia Kansas is acknowledged to be fair and just, the riguts of the voters are clearly detuned, and the : i Kangas into the Union asafree State, by the votes aud ‘voice of her own people and in conformity with the great of the Kansas-Nebraska act, provided all the e men will go to the polls and vote their princi in accordance with their professions. If such is pot the result let the cor be visited upon the of those y it is to produce strife, anarchy and bloodshed tn Kansas, tbat their party may profit by slavery agitation in the Northern States of this Caion. ‘That the democrats in Kansas wili perform their duty, fearlerely and nobly, arcording to the principlo thoy cherish, I bave no doubt, and that the result of the strug gle will be suct as will giadden the heart and strengthon ‘the hopes of every friend of the Union, I have entire con fidence. The Kansas queetivn being settled peacefully and eatiefictorily, to accordance with the wishes of her own people, slavery agiiation should be banished from the balls of Congress, and cease to ve an exciting element Foverausent which recoguies the right of he peo. recogniees y ‘State and Territory to form and regulate tbete tic inetitutc strife will be i ae tine 3 i ti is 2 people of the United States by servicee—venerated for their wiedom and experience—ani bo- the spotless purity of their characters lives. The ous shat fall btarmies partican their eet, while thetr jodicial decisions wil stand in 3 3 Ui fature imé, proud mopument to their greatness, the adiira- tion of the good and wise, and a rebuke to tae partisans of faction end Ia wless violence. If, unfortunately, sidera>le porgon of the people of the United States shall #0 far forget thelr obligations to society as to «low par tisan leaders to array them in violent resistance t» the final cecision of the bighert judicial tribanal om earth, it will become the daty of all the friends of order ant cor stitutional government, without reference to past political differences, to organize themselves and marshal their forces under the glorious baator of the Union, in vindica. tion of the constitution and tho eu wremacy of the lkws over the advocates of faction ant the champions of violeace. To preterve the coustitetion inviolate, and vindicate ibe su. Premacy of the laws, is the first aud highost daty of every citizen of a free republic. The pecu! at merit of oir form of government over all others oonsisis in tho fact that the law, instend of the arbitrary will of @ bereditary prince, prescribes, defines and protects all our rights. Io this Country the lay is the will of the people, embodied and y con. expressed docording to the forms of the constitution. Tho courts are the tribunals prosortbed by the constitution, nnd creuied by the authority of the people mine, exponnd and enforce the law. Hence, whoever revisw tho {inal decision of the highest jadicial tribunal aims a deadly blow to our whole rep iblican eystem of goverameat—a blow which, if succcesful, would place all our rights aud Liberties at the mercy of passion, anarchy and yiricnos, I repeat, therefore, that if resisiance to te decisions of the Supreme Court of the Uaulted States, ina matter like tue points decided ip the Dred Scott oae, clearly within their Jarisdiction as defined by the consiitution, shall be forced upon tbe country as a political issue, it will become a dls Unct and naked issue betweon the friends aad the eaemios of the constitution— the friends and the enemies of the eu- premacy of the laws. The case of Dred Ssott was an action of tr , vi ef armis, io the Cireuit Court of the United States for the district of Missourt, for the purpae of establithing bis claim to bo a free man, and was taken by writ of error op the application of Soott to the Sipreme Court of the United States, where the Gnal decision was pronounced by Chief Justice Taney, The facts of the care ‘were agreed upon and admitted to be trae by both parties, and were, in substance, that Dred Soott was a negro slave im Mirsouri; that be went with his master, who was an officer iu the army, to Fort Armatrong, on Rock Island, and thence to Fort Snelling, on the west bank of the Mis river, end witbin the country covered by she act 7 teen, known a# the Mistour! compromire; and thence be ‘rescoompanied his masier to the Stale Miszourt, where he bas since romained a tiave. Upon this statement of facts two im portact and material questions arose, besides several imeidental and minor ones, which It was treurbent upon the court to take notice f and decide. The court tid potattempt to avoid responsivility by dis poring of tbe case upon technical pointe without touching the morits, vor did they go out of their way to docile questions pet properly before them and directly presented by the record. Like honest and conscientious juiges, as soe are they met and decided each point as it arove, and ‘ally performed their whole di aod pxbing but ‘Uheir duty to the country by devermiming all the qreetions in the case, and nuthing but what was easential to the de cwsion of the case upon its merils. The State courts of Missour! had decided against lyres Soot, amd declared him ‘and he children Flaver, and the Cirevt Court of the Uaited Ptates for the district of Missovri bad decided the same thing in thie yery care whch bad been thus removed to the Supreme Gouri of the Untied States by Soxtt, with the hope of ne the decision of the Circuit and securing bis freedom If the Supreme Court hat dismissed the writ of error for want of jurisfiolion, withont frst ex- famining into and decidicg the merits 0! the case, a they fare now donouncrd and abuee! for pot baring done, the result would baye been lo remard Dred Soott and his oni! Gren to perpetual slavery under the tecisions which had airesdy been pronannced by tbe Supreme Conrt of Mis souri, ax well ae ly the Circuit Court of the United Stator, ‘without obtaining a decisoa on the merits of his case by the Bupreme Court of the United States. duppore Obict cy and his associates had thus reminded Dred jidren back back to deciding whe:her, un- laws as applied to ihe incts of (lao wane, Dred free map or a slave, would they ot have been denounced with \acreased virulencs an4 vit tornoes ov the charge of having remanded red Sextt to — slavery without fret examining the merits of case and ascertaining whether he was a slave or act? liapored of im that way who can Jd have been the shara ster of the to- n would have been hurled upon the de- ‘voted heads of those illustrious Jodges, with mach more of (sirnees than they are now de- decide! the case fairly and honestly material and controlling pointe in have been made the sabject «fun os—may ve thus ataled — jecided that unter the constitution of the egro descended from #'ave parants is not United Statoa. 2 i & 25 | @ police regu ieiatatien, prescribing adequate remedies for its violation regulations and remedies must necessartiy depend tl) Rod Wikhes vi We yougie vs tbe Lar ‘be prosort ped by ths local iegisia- | ic concerns. C will direct attention to the question involved in the first proporition, to wit:—That the negro ia not, and cannot be, a citizen of the United States. We are told by a certain political organization that tuat decision is cruel—is tahu- mao and infamous, and should be neither respected nor obeyed. What is the objection to that decision? Simply that the negro is nota citizen. What is the object of making bim a citizen? Of course, to give him the rights, rivileges and immunities of a cilizen—it being the damental law in our government that under the law citizens are equal {nu their rights and Privileges. It is (Oe ‘to bo Seeman ste. be! intnaneeaete.eapeire: on African negro of these privileges of citiz , whioh would put him on an equality with the other citizens of the country. Now, let me ask you, my fellow citizens, are you prepared’ to resist the constituted authorities of this ccuntry , in order to secure citizenship, and, through citizenship, equality with the white man. [Voices, “‘No! nol”) If )ou are, you must reverse the whole of this State—the organic law of our own State. In order to carry out that principle of negro citizenship and negro equality uneer the law, you must not only reverse organic law {n our own this Union. ‘of equality to the ae ‘the constivution of Tilinois which prevents a negro, whether free or have secured that great princi a. you muatstrike out slaye. from crovalng the Ohio or the Mississippi, and com- tog into Minois to reside. When you shall have made that an negro rather than into « State of white men, still you have not eecured to the negro thé rights of citizenship on an equality with the white man You must then strike the word “white” out of the consti- tution cf our own State, and allow the come to our polls and vote on an equality with you: You must also change the consttiution tp that res; declares that a n: gro shall not be eligible to office, and de- clare that @ negro shall be eligible to your Laglsiatare, to fhe bar, bench and gubern: ir. And stil! you bave not reached that point, to which we are told we must & of placing the negro on an equality with other citizens. ‘ou must admit hia to the kay tae ‘and license him by Jaw to marry a white woman. then you will have secured pearly all the privileges that the decision of the Supreme Court bas denied him. (Applause.) I submit to ped fellow citizens, whether any man can pronoance the lecigion inhnman and infamous, without resorting to that great principle, which, carrie i out, puts the negro on an equality wich other citizens. But listen to the aj hes of apy one of those who sympathize so much with the poor African, that they are no} willing to allow him to occupy au inferior position, and you will find that they all achere tothe position of negro equally. For insiaace, did you bear avy of them make a public speech in which he did not quote the Declaration of Independence, that “we hold all mem are born free equal,” and then appeal to you to know whether slavery could be justified or palliated by any man who believed in the Declaration of Independence. Do they not argue that, by this instrumeni, negroes were declared to bé Dorn equal to white men, that it meant negroes as well as white men, and hence, any man who is opposed to carry- ing out thaigreat dear principle of theirs—of negro equa'ity with the white man—is to the Declaration of Inde- pendence. Now, m d3, permit me to roply to this assumption, that the ‘ation of 1n tepen ence declared the negro to be equal with white men, by a few historical facta recorded in our school books and familiar to our children. By reference to the history of the United States, you will find that on the Fourth of July, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was put forth, the thirteen colonies were then, each and all of them, slave- holding colozies. Each r of the declaration, with aut ‘an exception, represented a slaveholding conetituency. Every battle ‘of the revolutionary war, from Lexington acd Bunker Hill to King’s Mountain ani Yorktown, was fought in a slaveholding State The treaty of peace with Great Britain, which askno wlodged our independence, was mace, on the part of Great Britain on the one side, and the thirteen original slavebolding States on the other. Pass- ‘ug trom that te the formation of the constitution of the United States, you wii find that instrument was framed, and edonted, and toto operation, with the immortal bad une free Siaie, or 008 Slate, nbout {> bocotie tree. Ta view of these facts, I submit to you whcther any sane man can sesert that the founders of our institutions in- tended to put the negro and the white wan onan equality in the aystem of government which they adopted? If the signers of the Declaration bad intended to declare the ne- gro equal tothe white man, would not they on thut very day bave abolished slavery in every one of the States of the Union in order to bave conformed to that Declarati mn? Indepeuc ence, ately bave abvlished bene 4 ‘and put equality with tbe white man in conformil Did they do so? I bave all bolished bave put on all the lawe teushing on they hones!ly believed the Declaration of Indepemdeno meant negroes as well as white men, they were bound to advocate every law £0 as to ca-ry out their principle. Their position on this subject would charge the of ‘hat Declaration with hypocrisy in mak: aud going on to fight baitles o» the principle thus Bat no vindication is needed from me of those immortal men who drafted end signed and proclaimed to the world the Declaration of Independence. They did what they profeased; they bad reference to the white map and to him ouly when they declared all men were created equal. They were in astroggle with Great Britain. The princt- ple they were assertiog was that # British subject born on Aweriean Foil was ¢qual 0 & British subject born in Eng- land—that a British eubject hero was extitied to all the righte, privileges and immonities under the British consti- tution that a Bri deb subj.ct in England enjoyed; that their rights were inalienable, and hence that Parliament, whoee power was Omnipotent, had bo power to alienate them. They did pot mean the negroes and Indians—they did not ray We White mev and negroce were born equal; but they were speaking of the race of people who colonized America —who ruled America, and who were declaring the liverties of Americans, when they procialmed the eelf evident truih that those mach were born free aud equal. And if you will examine the Journal of the Continental Congress, you will find this great princi;le carried out. No one of ihe colo bles would then consent to the Declaration of Independenco until they had placed on the record the expross reserva tion that each colovy reeorved and retained to ttaelf the role and exelurive right of regulating i own domestic concerne and police regulations. It was made a funda mental condition of the Declaration thas this right should be for ever reserved beyond the power of Congress or other confederation or power om earth, except the free will of their own people. The articles of confederation were based upon the fame great fundamental principle, end the constitu ion of the United States was adopted for tbe purpose of preve: ving aud car-ytng into effe “ne grest principle that made us one poople for on Mot edject, Dat reserved to each Stale and each iy the role and exclusive privilege of managing its own domes- tie concerns. At that day the negro was looked upoa as a being of an inferior race Ali history had proved that ia no part of the workd, or of ibe world’s history, had the negro ever shown bimrelf capable of self-govern- ment, and it was pot the invention of the foanters of this government te violate that great law of God which made ibe distinetion between the w hite aud the black man. That dirtinction is plain and palpable, and it has been the rule of civilization and of Christianity the world over, \bat when ever any one man, er ect of men, were incapable of tak ing care of themselves, they should coueent to be governed by thove who were capable of managing thoir alfairs for them. It is on that principle .bat your courts of justice appoint guardians to take charge of the idiot, the lunatic, the ineane, blind, dumb, the unfortanate, whatever may be bis condition. And if bistory had proved that the negro race, as a race, Were incapable of self-government, {t was xot oply the right, but the duty of those who were capa- bie, to provide for them. It did not necessarily fuliow thal they were to be recuced to slavery. The true princi. ple (s that the inferior race should be allowed to enjoy all Weir rigote which the!r natare is capable of oxercisi fad enjoying consistentiy with the good of socket T wou! bo. advocate that (he sagve sheets ‘be treated barably or unkindly.

Under that great provision, liligols bas chosen to say tuat the negro thai nos oome here to reeide—that a nogr) shall not vote—hall not bold offico—shall not serve in the jary boz—shall not marry white women—aod I think that the constitution of Illinots is wisely framed as to this provision. Un the other hand Kentucky goes further, and deprives the negro of his right over his Kentucky, under the constitution, bad « right t make that provi- sion.
