Excerpt from Nebraska and Kansas: Speech of Hon. Edward Wade, of Ohio, in the House of Representatives, May 27, 1854 The House being in the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union - Mr. Wade said: Mr. Chairman: The bill under consideration has given rise to much discussion, in which certain Southern gentlemen, particularly the gentleman from Kentucky, [Mr. Preston, ] and the gentleman from Alabama, [Mr. Phillips, ] have kindly volunteered to advise the few Independent Democrats in Congress that no Abolitionist had yet been so fortunate as to be entitled to the rank of statesman. This bill I suppose, must be considered as owing its paternity and nursing, to gentlemen now in Congress, who, if their own claims shall be allowed, will of course be installed as statesmen. Well sir, this bit of modern statesmanship, proposes to set aside the whole course of territorial legislation practiced for sixty years - from the very organization of the Government - legislation devised by the framers of the Constitution, the very fathers of the Republic, under which, free Governments have been organized for at least nine Territories, viz: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin. Iowa, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington, of which six have already become members of the Union; and in the working of which territorial system, I boldly defy these reckless innovators, to show a single act of hardship or injustice. Yes sir, this long-tried and faultless system, under which there have been nurtured and reared to political manhood, six free States, in which a degree of prosperity, happiness, and progress, has been realized without a parallel in the history of the human race, is now to give way to this unlicked whelp, the joint progeny of a foul connection between Northern demagogism and Southern Slavery. The object, the sole object, of this iniquitous innovation is, to plant Slavery in the great Nebraska Territory - twelve times larger than the State of Ohio, larger than all the free States east of the Mississippi. To this end, the "statesmen" whose progeny his vile scheme is, have nicknamed it a "popular sovereignty," "congressional non-intervention," and the "right of the people to regulate their own domestic institutions in their own way," "Government" - a sort of old puritanical "If Christ had not died, you would have been damned Barebone" name - having about it all the cant, but none of the sincerity of the old puritanical fanaticism. This Nebraska and Kansas bill is put forth as the model of this newly-invented system of Territorial Government, for which, if the inventor has not yet taken out a patent, nor entered a caveat, I advise him to give himself no trouble about the matter, as no one will be likely to attempt a piracy upon it. But inasmuch as this bill is a sample of "popular sovereignty," "congressional non-intervention," &c., &c. - I propose to analyze and show it up in its details as it is. And sir, if I do not call, I will still prove it to be, an impudent and insulting violation, in every material provision of it, of the most simple notion of "popular sovereignty," as well as of "congressional non-intervention." Sir, I will show it to be a bold attempt to impose on the credulity, a daring experiment on the supposed ignorance or the besotted prejudices of the people; in each of which however, I entertain an abiding confidence, that the authors of this iniquity, not the people, will prove the dupes. Congressional non-intervention with the government of the Territories, would be, to let the people of the Territories alone - to leave them - "hands off" - in the organization, administration, or change of their Government. Self-government and popular sovereignty imply the rights of the people to organize, administer, and to change their Government; and the right to "regulate domestic institutions," is implied in the right of "self-government," as the right of self-government, .
