Henry Wilson; Of Massachusetts: Of Massachusetts, on the Presidents's Message on the Lecompton Constitution These provisions went into your Constitution with no Slavery! There are about three hun dred slaves in the Territory of Kansas. This Constitution with no Slavery recognises the existence of the right of property in those slaves, and declares that in no manner shall that property be interfered with. In any pro posed amendment to the Constitution, we are told that no alteration shall be made to affect the right of property in the ownership of slaves. That was the Constitution with no Slavery. Then we have the Constitution with Slavery and I assure Senators that I am as ready to have your Lecompton Constitution with Sla very, as your Lecompton Constitution without Slavery. Your Constitution without Slavery recognised Slavery in the State, declared that it should never be interfered with, made it eternal. Such was the Constitution without Slavery. What a mockery is it to tell the people of Kansas that they had an opportunity to vote for or against making a slave State.
