but it is utterly oat of the question under the

however disagreeable the task, justice to myself,
requires that I should do ep, especially gam the
character of that conferenei has been mismiaders
stood in certain quarters- Nothing was further
from my mind than to allude to any social or
confidential iuterTiew. the meeting was not of
that character. Indeed, it was semiAkial, and
called to promote the public good. My totionee•
lion was clear that I left the cosferenee under
th'e expressioa tat it had beet' doomed bast to
adopt measures to tidal" ~Lanese as a State
through die &gooey of eye popular election, and
that for delegates to the eonvention. This im.
preision was the stronger, becauie I - thought the
spirit of the bill isfringed upon the daerriose of
non-intervention* to which I had greet swain,
bet with the hops of accomplishing a gresigood,
and as no movement bad bees made in that di
potion in the Tetritory,' I waited this objteettos,
sdl doselseisl itesaymors one tlitiMs a
few items of testimony as to the oarreetoess of
these impressions, and with their submission I
shall be content.
I have before tee the bill reported by ibe
seoskir from 11lieois, nu die 7th of March, 1856.
providing fnr the admission of Kansas sae State,
the third section of whieli reads as follows :
"That tho toUowiq peeptatitteett b, and tin moo aro

Beau of Klaus."'
The bill read in plebe by the senator from
Georgia on the 25th of June, and.refierved to the
Oommittee on Territorieo °moaned the sane
section, word for word. Both these bills were
under consideration at the conformalreferred
to ; but, sir, when the senator from Dlinoiti x re.
ported the Toombs bill to the Senate, with
amendments., the next morning it did act
tain that portion of the third section which indi
rated' to the eonvention that the poncintion
should be Approved by the people. The words
“eted ratified by' tbe ye plc at die electiCo /Or the
adoptioa of doe mastication," bad been stricken
out. Who struck...these words out, or for_ what
purpose they wig omitted, is not for ne to
slimier Bat, sir, I cannot be persuaded that it
was intended thereby to Ware to the people of
Keens* the right to vote out the eoastiretiom..--

is to Is; down a ride which would require the
submission of all the statutes to the

acts of oppression, for neither received the sane.

These quotations are full of strafing ideas,
which inviteatteation at this thee. The
first is the fal=ition, by both the governor
and reretary, of the validity of the law calling
the convention; another is, that the ceavention,
when foriamiorauld haves right to make a con.
atitution sad entunit it to a vote or not; and this
is one of the reavous of the governor for urging
the people to attend the polls end vote. "Those
who adonis from the right of suffrage," says the
=, witutbutise those who do vote to act
." He oar "the convention-4s legally
catiled,”m"beeinsi the territorial legislattire is the
power ordained for this purpose.' But what is
most remarkable; and most to the point, is, that,
Mr. Stanton indicated, at that early day, that the
submission of "the ' great distracting question"
every) was all that would be necessary to give
~ E ansaspft -ft and the dignity of a State Ile
even then indicated, most , pointedly, the policy
afterwards adopted by the convention.
The Senator from Illinois, in a speech deliver.
ed at Springfield, in his State, on the I ' ,2th of
1 Jane last, said:
"Kassa* is alms* to speak for hermit( through bet deb,-

With all this mass of authority to sustain
them, the people of the Territory, or that* of
them wbo were willing to sustain the laws which
the President, Governor Wilkes" and the senator
from Illinois held to be proper and binding, pro
ceeded to make a constitution and State
government. But those who said the laws
'Wald oot 'be obeyed refused to Participate
in this work, a nd from - this spirit of in subordi
nstiou, in iv judgment, all the subsequent ohs•
chief has arisen. They would not attend at the
polls, and vote for delegates to carry out their
will in the convention; not because they did not
wish to have aßuste goverunsent—for the same
man had attempted to erect Kansas into a State
is the most ifingular tend nautborised mode—
but for the that they bad commenced re ,
hellion vital, the laws, and were detennind to
waist in itl And it is, in the pain, these very
men who at this moment are Tlamorinit. most
about oppression and usurpation, and about sa
cred rights, Widish they indignantly refuse geezer
ciao. Governor Wsdkse labored ssalossly to
bring these win to the performance of their duty,
es is shown in the entrust I have given frogs his
address. But they were joined to their idol—
the Topela fares. The consequence was, that
there was virtually no contest for delegates, and
oily about twenty-two hundred votes were pol
led. But still the convention, on the theory of
, I. .oMcat w hos etc
authority of nearly the whole population to make
a constitution and State government.
This , large class of the people who neglected
to vote for delegates became clamorous against
the convention, sad even assembled at Topkes
At the avowed purpose of putting their own
bogus government into operation I-was in the
Territory for some time prior to and after the
election, and speak from personal observation as
to the spirit of insubordination manifested by
some. *speeding itself in bitter denunciations of
the President and Governor Walker for attempt
ing to administer what, in the chaste phrase of
the malcontents, were the bogus laws
of a bogus legislature,'' averring that they
would have no form of government from the con
vention gotten up under these laws, so matter
how perfect it might be; that though that' "bogus
etravention!.' should submit for their approval
their owe Topeka eonatitutios, tLey would spurn
it with contempt. This spirit was persisted in
to the end. Governer Walker, as must be obvi
ous to all, was sot and could not be vested with 1
any authority over the subject of making a State !
government- His functions were to administer!
the laws, and perform the executive duties genre
ally, which he did discharge with great ability.,
But beyond this, he could not go. He had no!
eonuexioo with, agency in, or responsibility for,:
the work of making a oonstitntion. In the*
exercise of his dieeretion, and with the itttetition'
of doing what was beat, be had at first advised!!
the people to vote, but all would not do so. He
also urged the delegates composing the oonven.,l
den to submit their work to the approval of thei
people, holding this to be right as a general
l
principle, and especially necessary in view of thdf
small vote east for delegates. But-the convert
tioa submitted only the ar ti cle relating to slavery.
That it ought to have submitted the constitution
in some form to give the people the right to judge

Kansas, I should barn insisted on this polies '
