Book Description
Excerpt from Kanzas and the Constitution All these plans, however, are open to the fatal objection that, like the Kanzas Bill, on which they are founded, they are, in principle, a departure from the Spirit and meaning of the Constitution as settled by the Opinions of those who made it, and by uniform practice under it. This is enough to condemn them all. The federal government is the government of the Territories. These very bills impliedly recognize this principle, because they are acts of government over the Territories. The state of things out of which they grew proves the wisdom of this principle, because they are they result of the denial' of it. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and the introduction of these new doctrines of constitutional law, are consequences of a struggle for power between the North and the South. The South is afraid 'to' trust the protection of slavery to the Constitution. It thinks that slavery can only be protected by extending it, by gain ing new States for it, and thus securing more political power for it. By the regular constitutional action of the government, the South cannot do this without the consent of the Northern States, which it cannot be sure of obtaining. Southern politicians have, therefore, determined to alter the Constitution or disregard it, by force of votes, and it seems now, also, to seize on new territory by force of arms. Whether they are likely by these means to secure the safety they seek, is worth considering. There is one great fact out of which this controversy has arisen, and which must govern it to its end, whatever that end may be, and that is the superior power of the Northern States. The difference between the North and South, in all the elements of power, now so vast, is growing greater every day. This is a stern, inexorable fact, remediless, irresistible, but which does not seem to have its due influence upon the minds of' our Southern neighbors. Power has certain qualities and laws, sure and punctual in their action, which cannot with safety be disregarded, and which, therefore, it is wiser to study and obey, than to deny and resist.
