Excerpt from Speech of Hon. J. S. Green, of Missouri: In Favor of the Admission of Kansas Under the Lecompton Constitution, Delivered in the Senate of the United States, March 23, 1858Mr. President: The Committee on Territories examined the subject that was submitted, to them, having before them the constitution of the State of Kansas and all the facts connected with its formation. The result of that' examination has been reported to the Senate and the country. The major ity of the committee deemed it proper to select'me to make that presenta tion to the Senate. In consequence of that fact, it now devolves upon me to review the arguments that have been presented against that report, and against the positions of the' friends of this measure, and to reply to them as brie¿y as I well can. I need not undertake to magnify the importance of this subject. I could not do so. It extends in its effects and consequences to the vital interests of the Republic. Nothing could strike a more fatal blow at what ought to be the permanent interests of all sections of the Union, than the improper decision of the subject no_w under consideration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
