 Attorney Generals otice, Sept 2l, 1885.
 SIR-l have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of tine 3lst ultimo, transmitting copy of letter from the Governor of Arkansas, with printed address, recently issued by him to the people of that Territory, and requiring, by direction of the President, my opinion on the. constitutional and legal questions pre-. scented in those documents.
 It appears from these papers, that appll- cations have been made to the Governor of Arkafsas, by various meetings of the in- htbtants ol that Territory, to convene the Territorial legislature at i,a early day, Tor the purpose of passing an act, authorizing the election 0 delegates to q convention, to form q St te Constitution, t5at he has de- cliaod lo comply vii this req lest, ti'at he cncrtails s'rDA5 aPpre ,cjs,ods that tae fefraofisl Le ,islahre. d tlei n3Xt regi lar mselilg tobs aeid II . gba next sit pass SaeA ta ;l;:', atd Bs sa great $ I4s

In order to meet the emergency thus appre- hended, he solicits instructions for his future guidance; and 1t is in reference to this re- quest that my opinion is required.
 The various questions arising on this case may be chased under two general heads. They have respect either, lst. To the pow CT of the Territorial Legislature to pass laws authorizing the formation of Consii- tuition and State Goyernment-or, 2d. To the right aud authority of the citizens of the Territory to take measures for that purpose, and to the extent to which such proceed ings, if 1t be lawful to enter on them at al, may properly be carried, consistently with the Constitution of tie U. $. and the laws now in force.
 ist. Upon the first of these points there Is, as it appears to me, no room for reason able doubt. The Territorial Governner

 regret that could n6t aansGYe the bill which originated in your House, and which was delivered to me some days since, pro ylding for the election of members 10 a con. Ventioa, to frame constitution and system of government for the people of Arkansas, preparatory to their admission into the Union as State. My reasons for with. holding my approval were, because did not believe that the General Assembly of the Territory of Arkansas possessed the bower to pass such an act and that, as the executive officer of Territorial govern. tnent erected by acts or Congress, i had no power to sanction or concur ii such an act.
 deem it needless to repeat tho argu. nlents which have heretofore Used in sup port ol my views upon this question. The people have differed from me in opinion up. on it, and have instructed their representa- lives 10 pass the bill for the formation of d Staie Constitution and although I cannot approve this act, yet, l am determined to do every tillag in my power, calculated to enable the people to meet in primary as-
 
 to petition Congress for q change of govern. ment.
 Both branches of the Legislature hay ing passed the bill by such large maiori. ties, as clearly 10 indicate that 1t would have passed a second time in each house, by a majority of more than two-thirds, I have considered 1t useless to return the bill to you with objections for reconsideration. Agreeably, therefore, to the provision of the organic law, the bill has now become an act, without my signature, so far as 1t IS consistent with the constitution and laws of the United States establishing a Territo- rial government in Arkansas.
 Ny abiding faith in the people of Arkan- sas, in sustaining the laws Of their country, Is such, that entertain no fears of an at- tempt on their part to interfere with the ex- istihs government, or interrupt the Terri torial officers in the regular discharge of their duties, until they have obtained the authority of Congress 10 abfogate and change the Territorial, and erect in it's stead, a State Government: and am con- hdent of being able to maintain, in the mean times, the supremacy of the laws of the United States, in the government ofthis Ter rltory.
 herewith send you a copy of the opin- ion of the Attorney General of the United States, upon the important constitutional and legal questions involved in the m9a- sure received few days since, and which has been transmitted to mo by the authority of the President for my guid- ance and 1 respectfully request that it may be printed and circulated under the author ity of the Legislature for the information of the people, and to direct them in making the change of government which they now have in contemplation.
