Allens Speech at Jacksonville July 7th 1860 1st The slavery question is now paramount to all others. The issue is “intervention” on the part of the Republican party and “non intervention” on the part of the democratic party 2nd The Republicans say that they stand where the “fathers and founders” of this government stood: and what argument do they offer? They say that Congress legislated upon this subject in the territories of the United States in the passage of the ordinances of 1787, (which Congress had unlimited authority to legislate as they pleased, having no constitution to restrain them.)---And again after the adoption of the constitution this ordinance was reaffirmed. I say that this is not the fact, for the reason that the only features or provisions of that---ordinance as reaffirmed by Congress after the Constitution was formed were simply such as to change the communications of the Governers and officers of the territories (in their official correspondence) from the Congress to the President of the United Sates. 3rd Up to 1819 & 1820, there was no such thing <hr /> -2- [July 7, 1860] as agitation over the slavery question, nor was there any such thing as congressional intervention---and in 1820 Jefferson & Madison were each offered to this unjust doctrine, and when Jefferson heard of the passage of the compromise of 1820 (find it in 7 vol of Jefferson’s works) he said it was to him like the ringing of the fire bell at midnight, that it would be the means of [stiring?] up sectional warfare & strife &c 4th Clay & Webster were quoted or rather misquoted by the Republicans, but I say that Clay & Webster joined with the democrats in 1848, “49 & “50 in puting down the infamous and abolition measures of the “Wilmot Proviso” abolitionists of the north, and in carrying out the doctrine of non-intervention, on the ground that Congress had neither the “power nor the right” to interfere, but that the right belonged to the people of the territories. In speaking of the speech of Clay Feb 3d 1850 he made Clay to advocate the doctrine of popular sovereignty. 5th The Republican Party say that slavery is aggressive: In the beginning we had one free state and thirteen slaves states. now we have more free than slave. why did not the south crush out the one free state <hr /> -3- [July 7, 1860] 6th We are for liberty---equality and fraternity---liberty for all white men---Equality with all white men fraternity with all the states slave & free. While the Republicans are for the liberty of all the negroes.---Equality with the negroes,--- fraternity with the negroes & northern states. 7th Yates who is a good man but not a good politician, (“I like Dick”) refers us in his springfield speech to Kansas.

Allens Speech at Jacksonville July 7th 1860 1st The slavery question is now paramount to all others. The issue is “intervention” on the part of the Republican party and “non intervention” on the part of the democratic party 2nd The Republicans say that they stand where the “fathers and founders” of this government stood: and what argument do they offer? They say that Congress legislated upon this subject in the territories of the United States in the passage of the ordinances of 1787, (which Congress had unlimited authority to legislate as they pleased, having no constitution to restrain them.)---And again after the adoption of the constitution this ordinance was reaffirmed. I say that this is not the fact, for the reason that the only features or provisions of that---ordinance as reaffirmed by Congress after the Constitution was formed were simply such as to change the communications of the Governers and officers of the territories (in their official correspondence) from the Congress to the President of the United Sates. 3rd Up to 1819 & 1820, there was no such thing <hr /> -2- [July 7, 1860] as agitation over the slavery question, nor was there any such thing as congressional intervention---and in 1820 Jefferson & Madison were each offered to this unjust doctrine, and when Jefferson heard of the passage of the compromise of 1820 (find it in 7 vol of Jefferson’s works) he said it was to him like the ringing of the fire bell at midnight, that it would be the means of [stiring?] up sectional warfare & strife &c 4th Clay & Webster were quoted or rather misquoted by the Republicans, but I say that Clay & Webster joined with the democrats in 1848, “49 & “50 in puting down the infamous and abolition measures of the “Wilmot Proviso” abolitionists of the north, and in carrying out the doctrine of non-intervention, on the ground that Congress had neither the “power nor the right” to interfere, but that the right belonged to the people of the territories. In speaking of the speech of Clay Feb 3d 1850 he made Clay to advocate the doctrine of popular sovereignty. 5th The Republican Party say that slavery is aggressive: In the beginning we had one free state and thirteen slaves states. now we have more free than slave. why did not the south crush out the one free state <hr /> -3- [July 7, 1860] 6th We are for liberty---equality and fraternity---liberty for all white men---Equality with all white men fraternity with all the states slave & free. While the Republicans are for the liberty of all the negroes.---Equality with the negroes,--- fraternity with the negroes & northern states. 7th Yates who is a good man but not a good politician, (“I like Dick”) refers us in his springfield speech to Kansas. If they desire to play at that game, we are ready and I alas refer you to Kansas---where and when Jim Lane with his band of “Rowdies” went to fight the United states troops stationed there to preserve order and maintain peace and also the actual setters of Kansas, but against all (notwithstanding such men as Abe Lincoln backed up this band of Rowdies and subscribed as Lincoln did fifty dollars for this purpose, while he had neither a vote nor a thank to offer to our Patriotic soldiers who were fighting starving and, dieing for their country on the plains of Mexico) the people prevailed and formed a free state constitution. <hr /> -4- [July 7, 1860] 8th The Republican platform (Yates said at springfield) contained doctrines so simple and well understood that even a county-clerk could make one, but up at Chicago they had (as I say) some fifteen of their best politicians at work for four days, and after they had finished it it was like the Pedlers suspenders “short enough for any boy and long enough for any man” made to suit all sections---but even then it had to amended so as to suit “Old Josh Gidding” and the abolitionists. 9th Republicans are sectional.

Geneva Ill Feb 11, 1864 Hon Richd Yates Governor Ill My Dear Sir I notice in the State Journal of the 28th January an article from the Canton Register in which your name is mentioned for Senator. I desire to say that the recommendation so fully accords with my own views, that I shall be very glad to acknowledge by my active aid the kind courtesies I have received at your hands in times past. I believe your services to the state and especially your honorable record in connection with the war entitle you to the position of Senator- and I have no doubt that could the voice of the unbiased masses be heard, you would be selected with great unanimity. A year ago I did not feel as though I ever wanted to help anybody again, or hardly to help myself, I have experienced so much of the treachery, falsehood and meanness of pretended friends. But since my vindication and triumph I view the world a little differently. I have passed through troubled <hr /> waters, but I never had a doubt that sooner or later the truth would come to light and justice be done me. Plato and Wilcox who wanted to destroy me in order to get my place are now (to use a slang phrase) "hunting their holes" and I am happy in knowing that among the people I am held in their former regard. But not to trouble you with my personal fortunes, I wish simply to repeat that if you are to be a candidate for the Senate I am for you wholly & heartily and I trust you will not fail to draw on me in any way where I can be of service.
