SPEECH OF HON. JAS. H. HAMMOND,
OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
On the Admission of Kansas, delivered in
the Senate if the United States, March
4th, 1858.
The Senate, as In Committee of the
whole, having under consideration the bill
for the admission of the State of Kansas
into the Union, Mr. Hammond said :
Mr. PRESIDENT : In the debate which
occurred iu the early part of the last month,
I understood the Senator from Illinois (Mr.
Douglas) to say tlnt4he question of the re-ception
of the Lecompton Constitution was
narrowed dewn to a single point. That
point was, whether that constitution embo-died
the will of the people cf Kansas. Am
1 correct:
Mr. Douglas: The Senator is correct
with this qualification : 1 could waive the
irregularity and agree to the reception of
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution,
provided I was satisfied Ci.it it v»as the act
and deed of the people, and embodied their
will. There arc other objections ; but the
others 1 could overcome, if this point were
disposed of.
Mr. Hammond : I so understood the Sen-ator.
I understood that if he could be sat-isfied
that this Coii5iinuion embodied the
will of the people of Kansas, all other de-fects
and irregularities could be cured by
the act of Congress, and that he himself
would be willing to permit such an act to
be passed.
Now, sir, the only question with him is,
how is that will to be ascertained, and upon
that point and that ouly, we shall diner.
1 think that the Senator fell into a fends-mental
error in his report di«senting Irom
the report of the majority of the territorial
committee, when he said that the Conven-tion
which framed this (,'onstituticn was
"the creature ol the Territorial Legislature;"
aud from that error has probably arisen all
his subsequent errors on this subject. How
can it be possible that a Convention should
be the creature of a Territorial Legislature?
The Convention was an assembly of the
people in their highest sovereign capacity,
about to perform their highest possible act
of sovereignty. The Territorial Legisla-ture
is a mere provisional government—a
petty corporation, appointed aud paid by
ihe Congress of the United States, without
wandering iu a wilderness—a wilderness of
thorns.
II this was a minority constitution I do
not know that that would be auobjectiou to
it. Constitutions are made for minorities.
Perhaps minorities ought to have the right
to make constitutions, far they are admin-istered
by majorities. The constitution of
this Union was made by a minority, and as
late as 1810 a minority had it in their
hands, and could have altered or abolished
it; for, iu 1M0, six out of the twenty-six
States of the Union held the numerical
majority.
The Senator from Illinois, has, upon his
view of the lecompton Constitution and
there were frauds, they were equally great
on all sides; arm that any inveet'gation into
them on this floor, or by a commission,
would end iu nothing but disgrace to tho
United States.
But, sir, the true object of the discussion
on the other side of the Chamber, is to agi-tate
the question of slavery. 1 have very
great doubt whether the leaders on the
other side of the house teally wish to de-feat
this bill. I think they would consider
it a vastly greater victory to crush out the
Democratic party in the North, and de-stroy
the authors ol the Kansas Nebraska
bill; and I am not sure that they have not
brought aboat this imbroglio far the very
the present situation of affairs in Kansas, ' purpose. They tell us that year after year
raised a cry a ''popular sovereignty." The . the majority in Kansas was beaten at the
Senator from New York, (Mr. Seward) ' j>o!ls' They have always had a majority,
yesteraay made himself lacetious about it, but they always get beaten! How could
and called it "squatter sovereignty." There ' that be! It does seem, from the most re-is
a popular sovereignty which is the basis liable sources of information, that they
of our Government, and I am unwilling have a majority and have had a majority
that the Senator should have the advantage for tome time. Why has not this majority
of confounding it with ''squatter sovereign-ty."
In all countries and in all time it is
well understood that the numerical mojori-ty
of the people could, if they chose, exer-cise
the Boverisaty of the country; but for
come forward and taken possession of the
government, and made a free State consti-tion
and brought it here? We should til
have voted for its admission cheerfully.
There can be but one reason, if they had
