[accepted, hotcecer, o-n the. express condition t>,it I should advocate the submission of the Con ftitutim to the rote oj the peojJe for ratification r rejection. These views were clearly under stood bv the President and all his cabinet.— 'fiev were distinctly set forth in my letter on uiv acceptance of this office, of the 20th of March last, and reiterated in my inaugurul ad jress of the 27th of May last, as follows : •• Indeed, I cannot doubt that the Conven tion. after having framed a State Constitution w j!l submit it for ratification or rejection by a majority of the then actual, bona fide resident settlers of Kansas." With these views, well known to the President and his Cabinet, and approved by them, I ac cepted the appointment of Governor of Kansas. Mv inst ructions from the President, through the Secretary of State, under date 30th March last, sustain the regular Legislature of the Territory in assembling a Convention to form a Constitution, and they express the opinion of the President, that " When such a Convention shall be submit ted to the people of the Territory, they must t,e protected in the exercise of their right of voting for or against that instrument, and the fair expression of the popular will must not be interrupted by fraud and violence. I repeat, then, as my clear conviction, that unless the Convention submit the Constitution to the vote of all the actual resident settlers of Kansas, iiud the election be fairly and justly conducted the Constitution will be and ought to be re jected by Congress." This inaugural most distinctly asserted that it was not a question of Slavery merely, which i believe to lie of little practical importance then its application to Kunsas, but of the en tire Constitution which should be submitted to the people for ratification or rejection. These were my words on that subject in my inaugu ral : " It is not merely shall Slavery exist in or disappear from Kansas, but shall the great principles of self government and State sover eignty be maintained or subverted." In that inaugural I proceed further to sav, the people " may by a subsequent vote defeat the ratification of the Constitution." I desig : ite this " a great Constitutional right," and aid " that the Convention is the servant and net the master of the people." In my official ill-patch to you of the 2 1 June last, a copy of that inaugural address was transmitted to you for the further information of the President and his Cabinet. No exception was ever tak en to any portion of that address. On the c'lfitrary, it was distinctly admitted by the President in his message, with commendable Irankness, that my itistrnctisiis in favor of a -ibinission of the Constitution to a vote of the people, were " general and unqualified." By ;..at inaugural and a subsequent address, I was pledged to the people of Kansas to oppose ! v all lawful means, the adoption of any Oon citution which was not fairly and fullv submit ud to their vote for ratification or rejection. These pledges I cannot recall <>r violate with ■ it personal dishonor aod the abandonment of iamcrita! principles, au r rejection. I have ever uniformly maintain ed the principle that sovereignty is vested ex clusively in the people of each State, and that • liiTf'irms it first and highest function in form 's..: a S'ate Government and State Constitu t: m. Tiiis highest act of sovereignty, in mv , ifigment, can only be performed bv t tie peo ; themselves, and cannot be be 'gated to •'' uvf-ntiops or other intermediate bodies*. Vet surely even those w ho diff t with me on '!i - paint must concede, especially under the Kansas-Nebraska bill, it is only such Conven ti'jii can be called sovereign as have been tru ly elected by the people, and represent their " 0a reference, however, to my address < 'ite S''pt.

And in fifteen : the.-e counties there was no registry of vo- These fifteen counties, including many ! t;.e oldest organized comities in the Territo ')'• were distinctly disfranchised, and did not j t'e. hy no fault of their own,) could not give 1 solitary vote for the delegates to the Con-j r °' 1 ' This result superinduced by the fact 1 it rhe Territorial Legislature appointed all i •"Sheriffs and Probate Judges in all these j 'an?ie, to wliom was assigned the duty by foi making this census and registry. These \ " r * W '-Te political partisans, dissenting f't toe views and opinions of the people of counties, as was approved by the election . ;' j toiler last. These officers, from want of j as they alleged, neglected or refused to fe any census, or make any registry of these j f ''CR, and, therefore, they were entirely dis-1 '/"'Cii.ted and could not, and did not, give a | - e vote at the election for Dolegats to tho j ''fitutioual Convention. And I wish to 1 attention to a distinction which will ap- | • r m my inauguaal address in reference to I '■' unities where the voters were register- j did not vote. In such counties wliere I I , ar "J free opportunity was given to register rV° te '. a l ' ,e > r c 'ioose to exercise ■ 1 a privilege. The question is very fuliy f re,| t ffom those counties where there was ' ''mis and registry, and r,o vote was given, 6a , ' JC £' ven > however anxious the people '•iv\ *° P art ' c 'l>ate > n the election of dele '' Q the Convention. Nor could it be j j, . 0 c °uuties acquiesced, for wherever! ""Icavored, by a subsequent census or j -'■nry of their own to supply this defect Oc- • iff, lla ' previous neglect of the Territorial j '- er N the delegates thus chosen were reject-! the Convention. * * * late lt ' 8 a k 4O1 ' based on a long and inti |at assoc ' al ' oa w ith the people of Kansas, re or" oVt . rw ' ie ' ra '"r? majority of that peoplo rs to l * ial and my lot tos: *' V but one out of twenty of the ansag sustains it. Souie oppote it' because so many counties were disfranchised and unrepresented in the Convention ; some who are oppose to paper money, because it authorizes a bank pf enormous capital for Kan sas, nearly unlimited in its issues, and in the denomination of its notes from one dollar up and down ; some because of what they consid er a Kiicw-Xothing clause by requiring that the G jrernor shall have been twenty vears a citizen ol the Tinted States ; some because the elective franchise is not free, as they cannot vote against the Constitution, but only ou the single issue whether any more 3.aves may be imported, and then only upou that issue by voting for the Constitution to which they are opposed, and they regard this as but a mockery of the elective franchise, and a perilous sport ing with the sacred rights of the people.— Some oppose it because the Constitution dis tinctly recognizes and adopts the Oxford fraud iu apportioning legislative members from John son county upou the fraudulent and fictitious re turns so falsely called, from that precinct, which recognition of that fraud in the Constitution is ' abhorent to the moral sense of the people.— | Others opj>ose it because, although in Other j cases the Presidents of Conventions have been : authorized to issue writs of election to the reg ular Territorial or State officers, with the usu |al Judges and with the established precincts : and on adjudication of the returns, in this case i unprecedented and vice-regal powers are given ! to the President of the Convention to make j the Precincts, the Judges, and to decide finally upon the returns. From the grant of these unusual and enormous power, and from other , reasons connected with the returns of Oxford sand McGee, an overwhelming majority of Kan - j sas have no faith in the validity of these returns and therefore will not vote. Indeed, disguise I it as we may to ourselves, under the influence of the present excitement, the facts will de ! monstrate that any attempt by Congress to i force this Constitution upon the people of • Kansas, will be an effort to substitute the will j of a small minority for that of au overwhelm ' iug majority of the people of Kansas ; and it , will not settle the Kansas question or localize \ the issue—that it will, I fear, be attended by war, extending perhaps throughout the Union thus bringing this question back again upon Congress, and before the people in its most dangerous and alarming aspects. The Prcsi ! dent takes a different view ot the subject in his Message, and from the events occurring in Kansas, as well as here, it is evident that the question is passing from theories into practice, | and that," as Governor of Kansas, I should be compelled to carry out new instructions differ ; iug on a vital questionfrotu those received at the date of my appointment. Such instructions I ; could not execute consistently with .my views j of the Federal Constitution and of the Kansas and Nebraska bill, or with my pledges to the people of Kansas. Under these circumstances no alterative is 1 ft but to resign the office of Governor of the Territory of Kansas. * * Kven as late as theJdof July, 18f>7, taking the Democratic Territorial Convention a-setu bled at Lecornptoii, in consequence of the laws i of the climate and the well-known will of the people, none contended that Slavery could be established there, nor was it until my Southern 1 opponents interfered in the affairs of Kansas, and by denunciation, menace and otherwise, 1 added at a critical period by several Federal office holders of Kansas, including the Survey or-General, and the President of the Conven tion, with the immense patronage, embracing | many hundred employees, intervened, and as 1 believe, without the knowledge or approbation of the President of the United Stairs, pro duced the extraordinary paper called the Le ! cornpton Constitution. Vet this act of inter vention by the Federal officers to defeat the j will of trie people seems to be sustained by mv opponents, while my intervention, as it is call ed, in obedience to my duty and oath of office to support the Federal Constitution and to take care that our organic law should be fairly executed by endeavoring to secure to the peo ple of Kansas their rights under that act, is denounced and calumniated. It is still more remarkable that the liypothrtical rem irks made by me, as regards climate in its connection with its influence upon the question of Slavery i in Kansas after that issue had been abandoned there, which viewspverc consolidating tlieUnion between the conservative, the Federal-State and Pro-Slavery Democrats, so as to prevent the confiscation of the small number of slaves then held in Kansas, have been denounced by many distinguished Southern Senators who, when the Kansas and Nebraska bill was pew] ing in Congress, and when such remarks from them, if ever, might affect Southern emigration were thin loudest in proclaiming that in con sequence of its climate, Kansas could never become a Slave-State.
