there are many other hioinontousi questions in.

the sacred relations of husband and wife, pa

There is also the question of State debts, of

surely, oven those who differ with me on this
point must concede, especially under'the Kan
* Sas-Nobraska hill, it is .only such Conventions
- can be called sovereign as have been truly elec

’..-reference,' however, to my address ol tho lOlli
of September last, on tho tax qualificationques
tion, (a copy of which was immediately trims.'
ipifted.for tile information of .tho President and
Cabinet.) it is evident that the Lecompton Con
vention (Was hot such a bodyi That Convention
had vital, and not technical defects in the very
substance of its organization under the territo
rial law, winch could only be cured in my judg
ment asset‘forth in my inaugural and other ad-
dresses, submission of the Constitution
for the.ratification o? 'rejection by the people
Tb reference to the territoiial.law undeh wliicl
the Convention .was assembled, thirty-four reg
ularly AVule named as elec
tion-districts for delejifes to the Convention.
In each and all oftlfese counties, it was requir
ed by law that a. census should bo .taken, and
the rotors registered, and When this was corn
ploted, thiif delegates to the.Oonvention slum Id.
he. apportioned accordingly,; In nineteen of
these counties there was no census taken, and
’therefore there, could bo. no such appointment
there of delegates, bused upon shell census.
And in fifteen of these counties there Was no
rogistiy of voters. These fifteen counties, in
cluding many of thooldest organized counties
*in tlio Territory, were disfranchised, and. did
liot give, by any fault of their own,:could hot.
give. a solitary vote for delegates to the Con
vention. This result was superinduced by the
fact that the Territorial legislature had appoint
ed all the Sherilfs and Probate Judges in all
these/ctfantieff, tb Whom was assigned tljc duty,
by law OT making this census and registry.
Those officers were political jiariiaans, dissent
ing from the views and opinions of the people
of these counties, as proved by the election in
October hist. These officers, from want of
lands as they, atlege, neglected or refused to
fake any.census,or make a’By registry in,these
counties; and tliurofore thuj were entirely dis*.
franchised, and could not, and did not give a
single vote at the election for delegates to the
constitutional convention. Ami hero I wish to
hall.attention to the distinction which will ap
pear In my inaugural address, in reference, to
Xhose counties where tliovbtors were fairly reg-
. istered and did not vote. In such counties
where a •full and free opportunity was given to
. register a'ud vote, and they did not choose to
■ i!.Ypfci.se that privilege, the question is'veiy dif
counties,'vJicru.lhbrc was.no;

ftftheft own-to Supply tills defect occasioned

Irefte'at ’that, in 'nihetocn cmuitiesout of thiv
ty-fohr, thel'o wuk no ceUstis. lii lif cen corn
ties out ofthirty-lour there was no registry, and'
not a solitary given, orcould bo given,-
for dele£atet to the conveiilioh in any . one ol
these counties. ■ Surely, then, it cannot be said
tlut such a convention, clidseu by scavcelymore
-than one-tenth ofthe present voters of Kansas,
represeiite’fi, tiib jiboplb of that Territory,dud
bould rightfully. impose a. constitution upon
them without their consent. .These nineteen
Counties in, Which there Was ho censuflconstifu
ted a majvKi{y oi' lhu counties of the Territory;
and these fifteen counties in which there was no
Registry gave a much larger .vbt.o at the October
election, even with the six month's qualification,
than the whole vote given to the delegates v.;lu>
signed the Ijccbinpton coniltUntioH; on tlio 7th
.November lasf.' If, then; sovereignly can be
delegated, cohvonfipna, as such, are sove
reign/ (which 1 deny,) surely it must be only in
■«ucli cmscs-aa when suchconventions ale chosen
by the people, which ,we Ifave seen was not the
case as regards the late Lecompton convention.
It was for this, among other reasons, that, in my
Inaugural‘and other, addresses, I insisted that
the constitution should he submitted.to the peo
ple Uy the convention, us the only means of
curing this Adtul defect in its organization. It
was therefore, among other reasons, when, as
you know, tlioorganization of the so-called To
jieka State government, and, as a consequence,.
an inevitable civil Avar and conflict with the
troopS must have ensued, results were
prevented by liiy a'ssuriugi not .the Abolitionists,*
as has been crroriequslystaUid— for my address
was ndt to them—but the people of Kansas,
mat, in my judgement, the constitution womd
be submitted fairly and freely for ratification or
Rejection by their vote ; and that, if this was not
done, I would .unite.with them—the people —as
i now do, in “lawful opposition” to such apro
ceduro. . .
Ino yip for and responsibility being devolved
exclusively upon me by the President, of using
the federal army In Kansas to suppress insmv
reefion, the alternative was distinctly presented
to me .by the questions propounded at Tonelca
6f arresting revolution by the slaughter of the
people, or by preventing it, together with that
civil Avar AVhich nfiist have extended throughout
the Uaiion, by the solemn, assurance then given,
fha{ the right of the peopl'd to frame their own
government, so far as my own power extended,
should bo maintained. Blit for this, assurance,
it is a conceded fact, Jhnt tho Topeka State gov
ernment, then assembled }n Legislative session,
would have been put into immediate actual
oration, and that a sanguinary collision with
the federal army and civil war must have ensu
cd, extending, it is feared, (bro'oghout the Un
ion. ■
Indeed, the.whole idea of an inaugural* ad
(lrfiss originated In the alarming intelligence
which had reached Washington city of the per
ilous and incipient rebellion in Kansas. This
insurrection was rendered still more f. vmidable
6n no'reaching iho Territory by the near ap
proach of the assembling of the revolutionary
otate Legislature, and the very numerous mass
conycnfaons by which it was sustained. In
truth I had to choose between arresting that in
surrection, at whaievercostof American blood
hy the federal army, op to present 'the terrible
catastrophe, ns I did, by my pledge to (he peo
ple ol the exertion of all my power to obtain a
fair election, and the submission of the consti
tution to the vote of the people for latitlcation
°r rejection.
My inaugural and other addresses wore,
lorefojo, vcallyiuthe nature of proclahi itiona,
’ SSUc d' by Presidents and Governors,)
Gttfil 11 Vlew t 0 as they did in this case,
• m war and insurrcc’ion’.
B M t)r P' v , J °uth of office,-1 was sworn to
ipoit th-o Constitution of the UnUed States,
| wltlcblhavo shqwu, in my; judgement, requir
ed the submission of '•the OonsCitution'to the
! vote of the pcQplc. t ; I was sworn alsp to take
caro ttyat the Kansas and Nebraska biff “should
be faithfully bill, in my
judgement, as heretofore stated, required that
the Constitution.shoul t bo submitted to a vote
of the people; and I was thercforc.ouly porform
ingasolcnin duty when, as Governor oft hoTon'i
tory to whose people my first qbllgations wero
duo, I endeavored to secure to them those re
sults. , The idea entertained /by somi) that I
should see the federal Constitution and the
ICausas-Ncbraska bill overthrown and disregar
ded, and that, playing flic part of mute, in a
pantomime of ruin, I should acquiesce by my
silence in such a resu t, especially where such
acquiescence involved, us an immediate conse
quence, a disastrous and sanguinary civil war,
seems to me most preposterous. Not a drop
of blood has been shedby the Federal troops in
Ki-nsas during my, administration. But insur
rection and civil war/exteiiding, li'uar, through
out the country, were alone,prevented by the
course pursued by hie on those occasions; and
the whole people, abandoning revolutionary
violence were induced bymeto go, for Ihe.first
time, into a general and peaceful election.
These important results constitute a sufficient
consolation for all the unjust assaults made up
on me in this subject. I do not .understand
that these assaults Jmvo ever received the
slightest countenance from the President; on
the contrary, his message.clearly indicates All
approval of my course up to . (he present most
unfortunate difference about the so called Lc
compton constitution. Inasmuch, however, as
this difference is upon a vital question, Involv
ing practical results and new instructions, it .is
certainly much more rcspoctfulto the President,
on my part, to resign the office of Governor,
nh(l give him an opportunity of filling it, ns.is
his right under the Constitution, with one who
concurs’with him in his present opinions; rath
er than'go to Kansas and force him to remove
me by disobedience to bis instruct ions. This
latter course, in my judgement, would bo in
compatible with proper respect for tlid Chief
Magistrate of the. Union, inconsistent .with the
rules of moral rectitude or propriety, and Could
he adopted with no other view than to force the
President to remove mo from office. Such a
course, it is alleged, would present me to the
•public as a political martyr in thu defense .of tho
great principle of self-government; but to go to
Kansas with any such purpose, or with a certain
knowledge that such a result nui.stiollow,would
bo a ike unjust and improper. My only alter
native, then, is Unit of a-respectful resignation,
in tlie hope (hat Kansas and.our beloved couhr
try may be shielded from that-,-civil, war with
which I four-both uro threatened, by- any at
tempt to. foreo the sorcalled Lecompton consti
tution upon the people of Kunsnsv - • , . ..
I statc.it as a fact based on a long and intimate
association with the people of Kansas, that an
overwhelming majority of that people are-oppo
sed to that instrument) and my letters state that
but ono out, of twenty of the press, of Kansas
sustains it* i Some upposo.it because so many
counties were disfranchised and unrepresehled
in tlm Cunventibn. Some, who are opposed to
paper money, because it authorizes a bank, of
enormous capital for Kansas, nearly unlimited
Su its issues, and in the denomination of its n'oteS
from one dollar up and down. Some, because
.of whaf they consider a Knou>Nothing clause,
by requiring that the Governors shall, have been
twenty years a citizen of, the United States.—
Some because the elective franchise is not fr.ee,
us they cannot vute'against the Constitution,
but only on the single issne : wheiher any more
slaves may be imported, and then only upon that
issue by.voting for the''Constitution to which
they are opposed. They, regard this as but a
mockefy of the elective franchise, and a.peril
ous spurting with the sacred rights of the peo
ple. Sumo oppose It, bdeauso the Constitution
distinctly recognizes and adopts the Oxford
fraud, in apportioning-the legislative members
fur Johnson county upon the fradulcntand fic
titious returns so falsely made from tfiat precinct,
.which recognition of that fraud in the Constitu
tion is abhorrent to the mural sense of the peo
pie./‘Others oppose it, because, although in
btlicr cases the Presidents of Conventions have
been authorized‘to issue writs of election to the
‘regular Tcvruorial or Slate officers with llicusu
ul Judges, with the established precints and ad
judication of return's. In this case unpreceden
ted and vice-regal powers-uro given to the Pre
sident of tlie Convention to make the precincts,
the Judges, anil to decide fhiaffy upon, the re
turns.- From ’ the* grant of (hose unusual-and
enormous, powers, nujVfvottv bHrer-reasons-ooiv--
‘riucted wftli- the .ff-kmlnlent returns of Oxford
and McGee* an overwhelming minority-qf tho,
people ot Kansas have no of
these returns, and.therefore’will, übtypib. In
deed, disguise-it as we may to ourselves, iinuor
the influence of, present excitement, the tacts
will demonstrate that any attempt by Congress*
to'force.this Constitution upon tho people. 6i
Kansas, will be an effort to substitute.the will.of
a small minority for that of an overwhelming
m'jority of tlie people of Kansas; .that it
will’ not settle the Kansas question.or localize
the issue; that it will, ! fear, bo attended by
civil war extending, perhaps, .throughout the
United Slates, bringing this question back again
.upon Congress and before the,people, in its most
dangerous and alarming 'aspect.
•The President takes a different view of the
subject in his Message, and, from the events oc
curring in Kansas as well as here, it is evident
that the question is passing from theories into
practice, add Hiatus Governor of Kansas I should
he eompelli-Ml to carry out new instructions dif
ferent on a vital queslioirfrpnithose receivedat
fiie date of my appointment. Such instructions
I could not execute consistently with my, views
of tjie Federal Constitution, of Jhc Kansas Ne
braska bill.-m* with my pledges to the people of
Kansas. Under these circumstances, no alter
native is left nio hut to resign tlie office of Gov
ernor of the Territory of.Kahsqs.
No oncMiaii inopiAfeeply regret than myself
this fiocefesHv; bin it arises from no change of
opinion on uVpart. On tlie contrary,T should
mostclieerially have returned to Knnsas-to carry
out 1113’ original instructions, and thus preserve
the peace of the Tef-ritory, and finally settle the
Kansas question by redeeming my pledges to
tho people. It. is not my intention; to dismiss,
at this time, the peculiar circumstances and un
expected Cvenfs-which have'modified the opin
ions of the President 1 Upon a punt so vital as
the submission of the constitution for ratification
of rejection by the vote ot tho people—much
loss do I desire atiy cbhtro’vcrsy with the Presi
dent oh this, suljeci; yet, however widely-my
views may differ from those entertained'by him
on this which I have held all
my life, and which, as involving fundamental
principle** of public liberty ami pi tho. Constitu
tion, are unchangeable—yet, as regards all those
great Democratic measures which, T trust,-will
constitute the policy of his administration in
other respects, it will give mo pleasure, as a
private citizen, to yield my dordlal support.;
I have said that the. slavery question’, as a
practical issue, had disappeared from‘Kansas
lung before my arrival there; and tho question
of 'self-government had heeii substituted in its
place. On Rpmu future occasion I shall dissi
pate tho delusion which has prevailed upon this
subject, and show that, alter three years 5 expo
riment, when I arrived in Kansas there wore less
than throe hundred slaves there, and tho num
tho IS" 1 ' 3 ’ diminishing ; that, ns proved by
the offlci.il refolds °l Congress; published and
iiuthenncaled by those distinguished southern
statesmen, John C. Calhoun and Jefferson Da
yis, the winter climatj, oven of Eastern Kansas,
IS colder than that of Now England, and that
the pro-slavery territorial convention of Kansas
consolidated with the pro-slavery Territorial
Legislature, on iho 4th January, 18)7, nearly
(Ivo months before, my arrival there, did distinct
ly abandon iho slavery issne, because, as set
(orth by ono of (heir number, <• the pro-slavery
parly was in a small and admitted minority,”
“■nd tho cp-opofation of the free-Stato Demo
[ crattj was invited, as tlie only hope of success,
not to make Kansas a slave State, which was
conceded to be impossible, but to make it a
conservative Democratic free Stale.”
Even as late as the 3d of July, 1857, when tho
Democratic territorial convention assembled at
Lecomptnn, in consequence of tho laws of cli
mate and tlie well-known will of the people,
none contended that slavery could ho' establish
ed fhero. Nor Was it until my southern Oppo
nents interfered in tho affairs of Kansas, and by
denunciation, menace and otherwise,,aided at a
critical period several Federal office-holders
of Kansas; including the surveyor general, rtfib
piesident oi tho convention,) with his immense
patronage, embracing many hundred employes,
intervened, and, as I believe, without Iho know
ledge or approbation of tlie President of the
United States, produced the'extraordinary pa-
per called the Leebmpton constitution. Yet
| this act pf intervention by federal officers to de
feat the will ofthe people seems to be sustained
l?y my opponents; whilst iny.mtervention, as it
is called, in -obedience t<? my duty and oath of
office, to support the Federal Constitution apd
to take pare that our.organlp law should be fair
ly executed, by endeavoring to secure to
people oA Kansas their rights under that act, is
denounced and calumniated.,
It is still more extraordinary that the hypo
thetical remarks made by mo as regards pnpiato,
in its connection with its influence upon (he
question of slavery in Kansas, after that issue
had been abandoned there—which views wore
consolidating the union botwe.cn conservative,
frec-Statc, and pro-slavery Democrats, so as to
prevent the confiscation ol the small number of
slaves then held in Kansas—have been denoun
ced by many distinguished southern Senators,
who, when the Kansas and Nebraska bill was
pending in Congress, and when, such remarks
from them, oVor, might affect, southern emi
gration, were Then loudest in proclaiming that,
because of its climate. Kansas could never be
come a slave State.. Indeed, It seems that all
persons, in and out of Kansas, whether in pub
lic or in private life, may publish what opinions
•they please in rogatd to these questions, except
the Governor of that Territory, who has so little
power and ho patronage.
And now be pleased to express to the Presi
dent JO}’ deep regret as regards-our unfortunate
uiiforoiJtjo of opinion in relation to the Lcfeomp
ton constitution, and to say to him,.that as In
fallibility does not belong to man, however ex.
altcd in intellect, purity of intention, or posi
tion, yet if ho has committed airy errors in this
respect, may they be ovorntleiQw a superintend
ing Providence for the perpetuation .of our Un

In now dissolving my official connection with

■ Carlisle, (Mansion House,) Wednesday, Jan
ary 20th, 1858.
I)r.*llaulu;.an treats Consumption, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Lavryngitlis; and ail diseases of the
titrqat and by medical inhalation, lately
used in the Brdinton Hospital, London. The
greatpoint in the treatmunt of alMinman mala
dies is to get at the disease in the direct man- r .
nor. All medicines are estimated by their nc. ■
(ion upon the organ requiring relief. This is;
the imporlant fact upon which Inhalation is.
based. If the stomach is diseased we take mcd. •
icino directly into the stomach. If the lungs,
aro diseased, breathe or inhale medicated vu.
pors directly into the lungs. Medicines arolho
antidotes to disease and should bo applied to ;
the very .seat of disease. Inhalation is the ap
plication of this principle to the treatment of
the lungs, for it gives us direct access to those
intricate air cells and tubes which lie out .of
reach ,of .every , other means of administering:
medicines. The reason (put Consumption, and
other diseases of the lungs have heretofore re
sisted all treatment has been been bocanse fltev
had never been approached in a direct manner
by medicine. They were intended to act upon
fhe lungs and yet were applied to the.stomach.
Their action was intended to bo local, and vet
they were so administered (lint they sh. aid act
constitutionally, expending ihimedlateniid prin-1
cipal action upon the unoffending stomach,
whilst the foul ulcers within the lungs wore un
molested. Inhalation brings the medicine in'
direct contact with the disease, without the dig
anvantago of any violent action. Its applica
tion is so simple that it can be employed by the;
youngest infant or feeblest invalid. It d6ea>
not derange the stomach, or interfere in the least
degree with the strength, comfort, or business'
of the patient.
Other diseases treated.— ln relation to the fol
lowing diseases either When complicated with"
lung affections pr existing alone. I also invite
consultation. X usually find them promptly cu
rable.

plaints, irregularities and weakness. ■
