, J. F. Smith’s
my opinion of the course the South should pursue
under existing circumstances. I will give you
frankly and fully the results of my observation and
reflection on this all important point. The first
question is, do the people of the south consider
the present union of these States as an evil in itself
and a thing that is desirable that we should get
rid of under all circumstances ? There are some,
I know, who do. Blit I am satisfied that an over-
whelming majority of the South would, it assured
thaGthis government was hereafter to be conducted
on the true principles and construction of the
Constitution, deeidedly prefer to remain in the
Union, rather than incur the unknown costs and
hazards of setting up a separate government, I
think I state what is true when I say that, after
all the bitterness that has characterize our long
warfare, the great body of the Southern people do
not seek disunion, and will not seek it as a prima-
ry object, however promptly they may accept it
as a primaryobject, however promptly they may
accept it as an alternative rather than submit to
unconstitutional abridgments of their rights.
I confess that, for many years of my life, I be-
lieved that our only safety was the dissolution of
the Union, and I openly avowed it. I should en-
tertain and without hesitation express the same
sentiments now, but that the victories we have
achieved and those I think we are about to achieve
have inspired me with the hope, I may say belief,
that we can fully sustain ourselves in the Union,
and control its action in all great affairs.. It may
well be asked how I can entertain such views and
expectations, which within a few years the South
has lost equality in the Senate, and the free States
have at length a decided majority in both Houses
of Congress, while this unfortunate Kansas con-
test has swept into their political graves so many,
so very many, of our ancient friends in
those States, that it may be doubted whether they
have at this moment, after the recent elections—
the finale of the disastrous Kansas aboration—a
majority in any single one of them ; and there
seemes to be at present no prospect of our extend-
ing the area of slavery in any quarter.
THE ASCENDENCY OF THE NORTH SECURED.
These facts are true, and if you bear with me, I
will place them all in the strongest light I can be-
fore you—for it is of the utmost importance that
we should at least see clearly how we stand, and
what are our resourses, in order to form an idea of
what we can do, and how to avoid wasting our
strength on what cannot be accomplished. The
equality of the free and slave States has long been
lost in the House, by the admission of California
it was lost in the Senate. Since then, another
free State has been admitted, and another yet has
passed the Senate, and in a few years more, we
shall .have Kansas, Nebraska, Washington, New
Mexico, and perhaps others on our roll. Theim-
migration from Europe to the North is sufficient
to form one or more slave States every year. To
the South their is literally no immigration. We,
have, since the closing of the slave trade, added
to our population mainly by the natural increase
of our people, and we have no surplus population,
white or black, to colonize new _ States. We lost
Kansas partially by our inability to celonize it,
and we are perhaps yet to have a struggle for a
portion of Texas. The idea, then, of recovering
the equality of the two sections, even in the Sen-
ate, seems remote indeed.
An Eloquent Extract—“Generation after gen-
eration.” says a fine writer, ''have felt as we feel,
and their lives were as active as our own. They
passed like a vapor, while Nature wore the sam ,
aspect of beauty as when her Creator commanded
her to be. The heavens shall be as bright over
our graves as they are now around our paths. • T y
world will have the same attraction, for onroi
spring yet unborn, that she had once for ovr ch 1-
dren. Yet a little while and all will have happ -
ed, The throbbing heart will be stifled and we
shall be at rest. Our- funeral will wind its Way,
and the prayers, will be said, and then we shall
left behind in silence and darkness for the worm
And it may be for a short time we shall be spot
en of, but the things of life will creep in, and ■
names will soon be forgot ten. Days will contin-
ue to move on, and laugh ter and song will be heard
in the room in which we died ; and the eye that
mourned for us will be dried, and glisten again
with joy ; and even our children will cease to
think of us, and will not remember to lisp our
names.

But it is said that in submitting this land ordi-
nance to a vote of the people of Kansas, Congress
submitted also the Lecompton Constitution with
its Pro-Slavery clause. If so, the passage in which
it was done can surely be pointed out. Badly
drawn up as the bill is, I should like to see the
clause or the words that would justify such an
assertion. If there was such a clause, why did not
J udge Douglas and his friends vote for it ? Why
did not the Black “ Republicans ” and all who
voted for the Crittenden substitue, which submit-
ted the Constitution, vote for this bill ? It was
the very point they made, yet to a man they voted
against it. That, I think, should be conclusive.

to know how that could by any possibility have) 2 Richard Fitzpatrick, of Texas, has been

admitted Kansas without modifying anything,
yielding even to the enormous “ land grab,” which
embraced many more acres than there are in all
South Carolina, I should like to know if the Le-
compton Constitution would not still have been
submitted to the people as virtually as it was by
the English bill ; that is. not submitted at ail.
but left with them ; an inevitable necessity. Con-
gress could do no more—no less, no other way.
The Constitution belonged tothe people of Kansas.
Congress could not hold it from them a moment;
nor could it make them organize under it—assem-
ble their Legislature, assume the position of a
State, and send Senators and Representatives to
Congress against their own will. Can Congress
coerce a State into the Union? Then Congress
can coerce a State to remain in the Union, or
drive a State out of it. Congress is omnipotent.
But- where are then the rights of the States ? For-
tunately for us, the Constitution of every. State
and of every Territory asking to be a State, is not
Only virtually arid actually in the hands of its
people at ail times and under all circumstance,
and they cannot be divested of that control with-
out the utter destruction of the Constitution and
an entire revolution.
The whole power of Congress in the premises is
exhausted when it accepts the Constitution with-
out condition.
There are some who go still further and assert
that, although there might be no way to avoid a
submission of the Lecompton Constitution to the
control of the people of Kansas, yet that the Con-
ference bill was a compromise of principle, inas-
much as it is specifically required them to act, and
it made for them the definite opportunity I o de-
feat the Constitution as well as the ordinance.
Now this is true, as a fact, yet the inference is ab-
surd upon its very face. If Congress could not
take the Lecompton Constitution out of the hands
of the people of Kansas, what difference did it
make whether they voted on the ordinance in
August, under the direction of Congress, or any
other time, whether fixed by Congress or them
selves? August was agreed upon, because it was
very well to set a time and let things end. But
from August to August, again and forever, this
Constitution was in the hands of the people of
Kansas, and they could do with it what they
pleased.
True, Congress might have avoided that specific
occasion and August vote, by swallowing the land
ordinance and all, and asking no secuiity for the
remainder of the public lands; but still Kansas
could have refused to organize as a State, and no
power under our Constitution could have inter-
ferred. It is all words, and nothing more.' Con-
gress was charged with bribing Kansas to become
a slave State. But the bribe was by the Conference
bill four millions of acres of land, instead of
twenty-three millions. If we had given her the
twenty-three millions for her useles slavery clause
there, there might have been some ground for the
charge. Yet it would have been of no avail, for
Kansas could, under no bribe or coercion known
to our Government, have been compelled to ac-
cept the Constitution or ordinence, or become a
State against her will at any period whatever. I
will not presume that any one is less proficient in
constitutional lore, or less conversant with the
history of Congressional proceedings in the admis-
sion of new States, than myself. But I will say I
I am incapable of comprehending them at all if in
this Conference bill there was any “compromise ”
of Southern principles or interests ; any concession
whatever by the South ; any departure from the
strictest construction of the Constitution, or any
material deviation from the usual practices of the
Government.
The people of Kansas have, by an overwhelming
majority, rejected the land ordinance as modified
by Congrees, and refused to come into the Union
on such terms. Be in so. It is what I expected—
what I rather desired. It sorts precisely with what
I felt when I saw Kansas thrust herself into Con-
gress and demand—reeking with blood and fraud
—to be enrolled among the States. Let her stay
out. I am opposed to her coming in before she
has the requisite popultation ; not because I fully
approved of the prohibitory clause of the Con-
ference bill, and for that reason voted aginst the
admission of Oregon, Unless in exceptional cases,
such as that of Kansas was last Winter, I do not
think that a State should be admitted with a less
population than would entitle her to a member of
the House. It is hot just to the other States, and
is not consonant with the theory of our Govern-
ment.

Yet we are free to confess that we have not the
slightest confidence in the conversion of one in a
thousand of those who, under the gallows, profess
that they are resigning- mortality for a glorious
immortality beyond the grave. Aye, there is a
fearful responsibility resting upon the pulpit and
the press for giving publicity to such scenes.
What is the result of it ? Why, the ignorant are
thereby encouraged to the commission of the most
atrocious crimes, because, if found out, they are
induced to believe that before the day of execu-
tion, with the aid of a minister, they can be pre-
pared for an entrance into Heaven.”
There is much truth in this. A man is judged
by his habitual life, not by momentary contrition
superinduced, it may be, by the terrors’of ap-
proaching death. Repentance is an idle word, if
it be not accompanied by reform ; and a criminal
about to expiate his guilt on the scaffold has no
chance to reform.

which would probably come before them, said he

dition about to be set out, as indicated by the
public press and by placards upon the streets, for

Speech, Delivered at Barnwell, S- C.- Oct.
29th, 1858.
THE KANSAS BILL.
When, four years ago, the Kansas-Nebraska act
was passed, giving Governments to those Territo-
ries, I was like most of you, a private citizen. I
was ernestly engaged in renovating old lands, and
creating new out of morasses hitherto impenetra-
ble, and I had as little desire or expectation of
ever again taking a part in public affairs as the
least ambitious of you present. I made up my
mind then that this bill was fraught with delusion
and trouble to the South, and so expressed my-
self on all suitable occasions.
The bill had two leading features in it. It en-
acted that every Territory, in forming its Consti-
tution for the purpose of applying,for admission
into the Union, should have the right to establish
its own organic or constitutional laws, and come
in with its own institutions, with the single con-
dition that they should be republican Why, un-
less our Constitution is mere waste paper, all our
institutions shams, and our theory of self-govern-
ment a fallacy, 'this principle and privilege is
their essence, lies at the bottom of the whole, and
constitutes the corner-stone. It is the very right
for which our fathers fought and made a revolu-
tion. I might have refused to re-affirm it—but
it was supererogatory ; it might well weaken the
whole structure to dig up, for the purpose of ver-
ification. its foundation.
The other feature of the bill was the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise line. That was already
repealed. It had long fulfilled its mission. It
had calmed the troubled waters for a time. It
was obsolete until the annexation of Texas, when
we acceded to the demand to extend it through
the Northern deserts of that State. But when
California came—California that should have been,
and may yet be, a slave State—and we demanded
to extend" that line to the Pecific, and thus secure
for the South a portion of that magnificent terri-
tory purchased in part by her blood and treasure,
it was refused. Then that line was blotted out
everywhere and forever. To repeal it was a mere
formality. The Supreme Court had recently an-
nounced it unconstitutional, and so the repeal
was, in no respect, of any importance.
But this bill, with these two features, neither of
them of any practical importance, magnified and
exaggerated by orators and newspapers into a
great Southern victory, led the South into the de-
lusion that Kansas might be made a slave State,
and induced it to join in a false and useless issue,
which has kept the whole country in turmoil for
the last four years, and gave fresh life and vigor
to the Abolition party.
THE LECOMPTON CONSTITUTION.
Through the most disgusting, as well as tragic
scenes of fraud and force, the Territory of Kansas
at last came before Congress for admission as a
State with what is known as the Lecompton Con-
stitution, embodying slavery among its provis-
ions. But at the same time the Convention, by
an ordinance, demanded of the United States some
twenty-three millions of acres of land, instead of
the four millions usually allowed to new States
containing public lands. It was almost certain
that a majority of the people of Kansas were op-
posed to this Constitution, but would not vote on
it; and this additional nineteen millions, which,
if allowed, would probably have kept them again
from the recent polls, was what the South was ex-
pected to pay for that worthless slavery clause,
which would have been annulled as soon as Kansas
was admitted. I confess my opinion was that the
South herself should kick that Constitution out of
Congress. But the South thought otherwise.
When the bill for its adoption was framed, with
what is called the Green Proviso, I strenuously
objected to it, and felt very much disposed to vote
against the whole, but again gave up to the
South, which accepted it by acclamation. If that
proviso meant nothing, and so I interpreted it,
it was nonsense and had no business there, be-
ing without precedent. If it covld be made to
mean anything, it must have been something
wrong and dangerous.
But, as I said, the South took that bill far and
wide. The South rejected it. They passed then
the Crittenden substitute, which proposed to sub-
mit the Lecompton Constitution to a vote of the
people of Kansas; and' to accept' it, if ratified by
them. The Senate had previously refused that
substitute, and did so a second time. It then
asked a Committee of Conference. That Com-
mittee reported what is called the “ English bill.”
By that bill congress accepted the Lecompton
Constitution, pure, and simple, without .proviso.
The Land ordinance of the Lecompton Conven-
tion, which was in no wise a part of the Constitu-
tion, but a separate measure, demanded, as I have
said, a donation of some twenty-three millions of
acres of land, being nineteen millions more than
had been given to any other land State. The En-
glish bill cut. this down to the usual amount of
four millions of acres, and required that the peo-
ple of Kansas should ratify this modification, and
surrenaerall claim to the remainder of the lands,
as the condition of her final admission.
Such a requisition has been male on every new
State, carved out of the public lands, that has
been admitted into this Union—sometimes in the
enabling act, and where there was not one, always
after accepting the Constitution. Go to the stat-
utes of Congress and you will find it in every one
of them It is the custom, it is necessary, and
this feature in the English bill was in accord-
ance with strict precedent. The only difference
in this: that usually the Legislature of the State
has been required to accept this compact by an
irrevocable act, but in this case it was referred to
the people of Kansas directly. In this there was
no sacrifice of principle whatever, nor was it
without- precedent altogether, for in the case of
the State last before admitted, Iowa, this ques-
tion had been submitted to the Legislature or the
people, as Iowa might prefer. This is the whole
sum and substance of this English bill, except that
it further declared that unless the people of Kan-
sas accepted this modified ordinance, they should
not be admitted as a State until they had a popu-
lation that would entitle them to one Representa-
tive under the Federal apportionment.
I voted for this bill; I voted properly ; I voted
no compromise ; I satisfied no particle of principle
or Southern interest. It is true, its phraseology
is halting and bungling. It was drawn up hasti-
ly and in great excitement. I objected to the
wording of it in several passages, but I assured
myself that nothing sinster was designed and I
voted for it, leaving its author responsible for its
diction on the statute book. I thought it prefer-
able to the first bill the Senate passed, and voted
for it more willingly. It is true, some Northern
Democrats who voted against the Senate bill,
voted for this, and thus it was carried. But was
that a reason why I should not vote for it ? Does
that prove that I sacrificed any principle ? They
found themselves wrong, and perhaps wanted some
excuse to retrace their steps. I was happy to assist-
in giving it to them without cost to ourselves. I
was particulary pleased to get rid of the mysteri-
ous proviso of the first bill, and to require a sol-
emn compact in regard to the public lands, which
had not been properly provided for in that bill.
The only principle involved in this whole Kan-
sas affair—if an affair so rotten, from beginning to
end, can have a principle at all—was this : Would
Congress admit a slave State into the Union ? The
Senate said yes. The House, by adopting the the
Crittenden substitute, said yes, if we are assured
that a majority of the people of the State are in
favor of it. For this substitute, all the opposition
voted in both Houses, so. that every member of
Congress of all parties, first and last, committed
themselves to the principle and policy that a State
should be admitted into the Union, with or with-
out slavery, according to the will of its own peo-
ple—thus re-enacting one feature of the Kansas
and eNbraska bill. I should myself been willing
to rest there, and let Kansas rest also. Whatever

ment or two seemed to possess the power or the
disposition to interpose any stay to the tenor, or
to dictate calmness, but the air rang with shouts,
groans, screams and cries. One young lady was
seized with violent hysterics. The fire was fortu-
nately subdued without difficulty and loss.
ge The origination of the term, the “First
Family of Virginia," is thus explained by an ex-
change : In the early settlement of that State it
was found impossible to colonize it unless women
went there. Accordingly, a ship load was sent
out, but no planter was allowed to marry one of
them until he had first paid one hundred pounds
of tobacco for her passage. When the second ship
load came, no one would pay more than seventy-
five pounds for the matrimonial privilege, except
it were a very superior article. Consequently the
descendants of all those who were sold for one
hundred pounds of tobacco were ranked as first
families, while those who brought but seventy-
five pounds are now ranked as the second families;
and the reason why no one can ever find any of
the second families, is because you can’t get a Vir-
ginian to admit that his mother only brought sev-
enty-five pounds of tobacco.

interest, which I did not satitfactorily meet.’ In
reply to which I will say, that I called on Dr.
Fowlkes as he did on me several times, and whilst
lie was here, our calls were reciprocal—but, that
I desired any understanding with him of the char-
acter above stated I most emphatically and une-
quivocally deny. If so, why has he spoken of me
subsequently ; at his meeting at St Louis, Mem-
phis, Marshall, and at other places—in his printed
speeches and in the newspapers, in such high and
respectful terms as he has done ? Why did he
wait until he discovered at Marshall that I was
opposing his suicidal, visionary and impracticable
plans: 1st, Of bravadoing and litigating with
the “New Company.” 2d, Of buying up the
claims cs the “Old Company,” prosecuting them
to judgement : then selling out the road upon ex-
ecution, whereby to acquire a legal title, which
would enable him (to use his own delectable lan-
guage,) to “slough off” all other claimsand stock
but such as he chose to recognize—promising re-
cognition and reward tothose who contributed the
means necessary to enable him to accomplish his
purposes, and threatening ex-communication to
those who did not. 3d, Of preserving his large
interest “entire” amounting to $130,000 shares-
$650,000. These shares being of an equivocal
character, or implicated with the two million three
hundred thouasnd dollars of stock for which (to
use the Doctors own words.) “but little if any con-
sideration has ever been received.” 4th. To sur-
render (after, having got all into his legal posses-
sion,) the entire road, charter, franchises and all,
into the hands of Mr. Guthrie, ( unconditionally
perhaps) “at any salary he might name.’’
How is it that the Doctor whilst he supposed
me “aiding and abetting,” recommending and ad-
vising the contributions necessary for him to carry
out his schemes of “vaulting ambition,” made
use of my name as a standing reference, and when
he found that I had penetiated his plans and his
hypocracy, took occasion to decry me 29 Fortu-
nately the money that might have been contribu-
ted by some confiding stockholders to be wasted
in useless litigation and utopian schemes, has been
staid in their pockets—to be used for legitimate
purposes in building the road, whenever a fair and
practicable basis for action shall be presented.
I have the gratification of learning that a part
of the object I have had in writing to Messrs. Wig-
fall and Grant—to the Governor of Texas—to
Loughery, editor of the Texas Republican and to
Dr. Fowlkes himself, has been accomplished, and
a compromise effected, between the “Old and the
“New” Companies, and thus litigation has been
stayed, for a time at least.
In my letter to the Doctor at Marshall, I in-
formed him that in case the road was sold upon
execution according to his favorite plan, that there
was a company formed, with means and a deter-
mination to outbid all competitors, and thus blot
out Ais “large interest” and all the other inter-
ests forever. How far this information has ind ic-
ed him to lower his bragadocio tone, time will
det ermine.
I will not accuse the Doctor of wilfully lying
about me, but will throw the mantle of charity
over his age and infirmities, and say that if he ap-
prehended any such thing as he charges against
me he was entirely mistaken as to the import of
any conversation that took place between us.
Hoping that a large portion of the $2,300,000
of the fraudulent or bogus stock issued, may be
voluntarily surrendered to the Company, and such
conciliatory measures be adopted, as to command
the respect and confidence of men of prudence
and means is the sincere wish of
