sequently, on the 19th of February, 1857, past. ed a law for the election of delegates to the Convention. Both these souk obviously contents plated the possession of mural powers, by the Convention. In neither wasthere any limitation or restriction whatever; and the.dhlegates having been eleojed in view of these laws, possessed the power of forming and enacting qs (*institution, subject' only to .the ratification of Cos gus heretofore shown. The act of F ress, ebruary, 1857, upon examination, appears to be entirely fair and just. It extends the ‘ fight of suffrage to every bona fide inhabitant of the Territory on the third Monday of June, 1857, who, being a Dili. sen of the United States and over tweutrone years a 'lige-, shall have resided three months in the wanly were he offers to vote; and provides ad equatespenilties against illegal vot ug; hands. lent', Linderiaig a fair expression of the popular vote, and unlawful attempts to influence the electors. Moles a further guard against fraud, and to Deena the elective franchise from petted. tution, ItegU'Oration of the votes is required to be oompiled from a census previously taken; by the sheriffs and deputies. The census returns are to be filed in the °See of the Probate Judge, showing the' number of qualified voters resident in the county or district, on the first of April, and to be posted in the inblie places Aod the Probate Judge from the time of receiving them, is to hold his mutt open until first of May, for the purpose orahrreeting them, by adding names or striking out those improperly inserted. Provis aion is also matte for 'wadi:ties in the office of Sheriff, by sathorising the Probate Judge titlist in his place ; , and in Case of vacancy in bothll.l, Des, the Governor is to appoint some competent resident chisels to perform their duties. 'he other details of the act are equally unexoeption. able, and tend to the production of a fair and honest election. It is to be further observed upon this act, that voters omitted from the °ems would have full natioe of the omission, and ample opportunity to have their names added, by the Probate Judge, to the register of names. Full time is also afford ed for the prioeeeding. But it is ootorions and undenied that the great body of those who did not vote at the subsequent election in June,with held themselves from enumeration and registry, and instead of i assisting the officers, as good eiti sen's should have done, interposed all the obeta. ales in their way, extending in some cases to &o hm] intimltladion and force, because they denied the authority of the Territorial Government and laws, and intended by their conduct to refuse a recognition of them. Yet over nine thousand uatnee were registered, although many who were registered,'snd in falor of a Convention, did not vote fur delegates, ac t in many; if not most of the districts, there was no serious A - ipoeition to the candidates named. But tile ease is even yet stronger than threw facts make it. A part of the nineteen counties, tKi oft, spoken of, were wholly without inhabitants; they were counties upon payer established in expectation of &tura settle ment. Bey.ides these, most of the aunties cem posinettie nineteen had an inconsiderable popu litti.-on; settlements in them having just begun. It is said the four only of the wbole number had any considerable population, and that these were the very ones where the Topeka party were strong. interposed resistance to the law, and neither desired nor attempted to qualify them selves for voting at the election. It is not ne oessary to go into minute details, nor to explore the causes remote or immediate, which induced opposition4o that as well as to the Territorial law, although such tnquiry would strengthen the general oonclusions already stated As far as the objection to the powers and proceedings of the convention, on the ground of narrowness of suffrage in the election of the members in con cerned, that man who would remain an objector, after the foregoing statement, would remain un convinced by the production of any fact or argil• ment whatsoever. 4th. Finally it is asserted in general terms, that, including all parties and every description of persons, a majority are in fact opposed to the Constitution. The answer to this, if its truth be admitted, is two .fold. First, that such opposition, in point of law, must express itself hereafter in a regular and la gs!gal mode it, sasenallig the Constatation. that such majority, if it exist , -cannot nullify an d bold for naught a Constitution regularly formed; in short, that majorities equally with minorities are bopid by existing Constitutions and lag s ._ The other reply is furnished by the e ma st er ly and conclusive message of the President, tn(Us. mitting the Constitution to Co- - , green. I t je th ere shown by the most mins? ". 6 ..ory_evidence, that the great portinb'of this "..itedged majority is made up of insur g en t '.:nd revolutionary elements. The dispatches, even of Gov- Walker himself ~ stamp upon the Topeka party, both de. s; .gos andfoyer t to ts to subvert and nullify the Territorial laws, as well as to resist any Consti tution, however unexceptionable, to be made by a Convention convened under them. In fact, armed binds, organised in open hostility to the authority of the laws, to mild their execution, and to uphold the authority of the illegal and revolutionary Topeka Constitution and Govern ment, have openly traversed the Territory in the accomplishment <4 their designs, and yet exist, under the lead and countenanoe of the leaders-ot faction, turbulence and disorder. NoP ition can be clearer than that revolutioniets, r al i r those whe openly aid and consort with them, waive for the time being their political rights under the government against which they rebel, and can have no legal to be consulted in those po litieal•p which are conducted under the regular anthority of the laws. And for them to demand that their voices shall be counted to des troy the powers and work of a Convention which they r e pudiated from the outset, and in the elec tion of the members of which they neither desir. ed nor attempted to psrticiante, is both impudent and monstrous. If there be fault upon, the part of the Govern. went with reefrenoe to this insurgent and role. guided population, it is that they have been treated with extreme leniency and forbearance, illy requited by confirmed turbulence and resist ante to authority upon their part. And that the appeal should now be gravely made, in their be half fat the rejection of a legal Constitution and thweentinuance of excitement and disorder in the Territory, until they shall be pleased to subside into order and regularity, may be classed among the,surimities of faction. With equal propriety might the appeal be made in behalf of the insur, Bents of Utah against the attempt to force upon them the jurisdiction and authority of the United States. Sound and conclusive reasons existing for the positions assumod, every consideration demands that speedy tnd final action be taken for the sot• tlemeot of this question that has so long barns. sed the public mind, and worked an alienation of that feeling of confidence, respect and friend ship that should reign supreme among the citizens of all parts of the Union.
