'l’he remaining point to be
whether the majority of the people-desire'to
be admitted as a State under the ConsiiiiailDD
presented. This your committee deertj£,nn
important inquiry ; fpr however clear such a
movement may he -to the exercise of a con.
s'itulional right in strict .confbjmity to con
stitutional cequicemepla acknowledged
and well established' 'precedents, it Is never
theless a mere petition, and unless approved
by a majority of.those -upon whom -it is-to
operate, the petition should not be granted.
.■.Whether it is so approved in this case, is a
Tact which each membe' mnst determine for
himself in the same manner as he woglctas
cerlnmany other fact upon which it is neces
sary for him to form an opinion in order to
guide his vote. This necessity is cqnstanlly
impressed upon .legislators, and it is an ad
mitted principle that the absolute legal evi
dence which is required in.judicial proceed
ings, cannot be and is not expected or re
quired.
A rule that would require It would arrest
.almost all legislation. Books, letters, news
papers public reports, declarations of indi
viduals, and ordinary information of all kinds,
nre daily teceived by legislators to establish
Iqctq qn, which they base; their votes. Any
information which is received as worthy of
credit by a legislator,.and which produces
belief in the existence of a fact, is sufficient
for his action. It is not necessary to cite the
'authority of any of the eminent statesmen
who have announced this doctrine to sustain
this position. In view of the history of Kan
sas, under the light of this doctrine, are not
ihe facts sufficient to justify legislators in the
belief that a majority of the people approve
of,ihe Constitution as adopted.and presented 1
II is idle to attempt to.disguise or conceal the
fact, notorious to the Whole country, that the
great and only point of contest in the Terri
tory, between the two. coptending parlies, is
whether Slavery shall be allowed or prohibit
ed, and that the one party advocate this Con
stitution because if prohibits it, and for the
same reason Ihe other party oppose it v To
every man that believes that the Free Stale
party is in a majority (no matter how that
belief, is induced,) the petition is entitled to
support.
With the ‘ flood of information relative to
Kansas that has for two years covered the
whole country, and which has been sought
«ilh avidity by every person desirous of un
derstanding its strange and eventful history,
there are few. if any men who have-pot form
ed and even expressed an opinion as to which
party is in the majority. And the informa-1
lion and wisdom upon this point is so exten
sive and voluminous and so generally under
stood that your Committee deem it unneces
sary to do more than refer to Ihe small por
tion of it more immediately within their reach.
By reference to the report of the Kansas
Special Committee at the last session, it will
he seen that at the Congressional election in
November, 1854, the pro-slaveryjparty poll
ed 2,258 voles, of which 1,279 were shown
to have been illegal, although the invesliga
lon did not extend to all the districts, and the
Committee say that the settlers took but little
in'ercst in the election, not half of them vo
ting. In February and March, 1855, the
census showed 2905 voters ; and on the 30th
of March, 1855, ihe same party polled 5457
votes, and the illegal votes were 4808. At
the election on Ihe Ist of October, 1855, they
polled 2721 voles, of which 857 were illegal,
and a number of districts not investigated.
In the first two of these elections, the other
parly, ns it is well known, scarcely partici
pated, and in the last, not at all.
At the election of Ociober 9, 1855, fot
Congressional delegate. Gov. Reeder receiv
ed 2849 voles at a lime when there was no
occasion for illegal voting. The delegates
who were elected to frame, and did frame the
Free Slate Constitution, received 2710 voles,
none of which are shown to be illegal. The
voles on (he ratification of the Constitution,
December 15, 1855, were 1778, of which
nnlv 40 were opposed, and the election was
hold directly afier the first invasion to destroy
Lawrence; and for that reason a full vole
could not be polled.
The election at Leavenwjorlh was interrup
ted by violence of the opposing party, and
the poll books and ballot-box destroyed where
the Free Slate voles had been 514; so that
the voles on ratifying this Constitution,was,
in reality, some 2300, notwithstanding the
disturbed state of the Territory, and influen
ces of intimidation that prevailed at that lime
calculated to deter Free State voterd from vo-
ting.
This brief review of the elections held,
clearly indicates that the parly advocating
the Free Stale Constitution are in the major
ity in the Territory. But the ever-recurring
invasions from the. Stale of Missouri at all
the elections of the Territory, in numbers
amounting to from 1700 to 5000, to assist
the pro-slavrry party to elect their candid
ates ; the conflicting of that parly in the Ter
ritory with these invasions ; the willing ac
ceptance of this aid and Die laws passed by
them when in power, to exclude dho Free
State voters from the polls, as well as the vi
olence used by the Missourians, and the pro
slavery men in the Territory to break up the

recent.difficulties, topass the ordeal of msim
ilar prdceeding o'gainl Upon this point your
Committee thibk there is nd sufficient reason
for the litter course. The Constitution al
ready adopted, as has been /ully.shown, is in
strict and undoubted conformity to constitu
tional requirements—is justified by numerous
and authoritative precedents—is sustained by
a population agreed by the advocates of both
qpCgqures to be;sufficient, and -which is>ex
pected by all to increase with great, rapidity
—and is approved by a majority of tho peo
ple.
What'valid objection then can be urged
against its adoption ? That persons who are
displeased with the prohibition of Slavery
which it contains, your Committee can read
ily conceive might prefer another trial of the
question in a hope of a different result. But
that can hardly be received as a reason why
this Government should wilhold (rom any
portion of the peoplertheir constitutional
rights, and neglect to redress their wrongs.
Your Committee recommend, in lieu of Ihe
Senate, (Toombs) bill, No. 365, a bill for the
admission of Kansas under the Topeka Con

PmAbBLPHU, April 12,1856.
Messrs Evan* <6 Walton —Gouts:—It affords ns the highest
satisfaction to state to yon, that bvlng to tho rory protective
qualities of two.of tho Salamander Safes which we purchased
of you some few (ilargeportiou of onr
Jewelry, Jlooki, Papers, exposed to tho calamitous fire in
RanstefldPlace, on tho morningof tho 11th Inst.
When wo reflect that these Safes were located is the fourth
story of the building xm occupied, and that they foil subse
quently into a heap of burning mins, whore the vast concen
tration of heat caused tbe.hnujs plates tq melt, we camlet but
regard the preservation of th 6 valuable contents as most con
vincing proof of tho groat security afforded by your Safes.
We shall take much pleasure in recommending thorn to men
of business as a sure reliance against fire.

seemed to every one who witnessed the opening and interior

To all who may require a perfect protection from tho rava

With my knowledge of its great exposure, both to the inten
