when the inevitable destiny of this Union shall filed up
its limits with civilized population and thrifty enterprise
Kansas will be- erroriay the very heart Of the republic
and in the highway its trade Much of its progress
prosperity and its future destiny will depend upon the impress
that shall make upon its early developments That
shall have difficulties to and overcome, varied in their
character and formidable in their number and extent
than folly deny and conceal Whatever they may
be- however there is fear that they all be solved by
prudent careby tolerance and charity for difference Of
opinion among ourseves-by calm but unquailng moral
courage in asserting rights of action opinion
and by the most scrupuous avoid encroachen
the rights of Others
First of ALL Kansas must and with Gods help shall be
country of law and order. No must be allowed
cast contempt the law unsee the foundations of
ciey, to future destnie be stunned
and avoided by good citizens and to turn upon the
grade path toward barbarsm by substituting his
brided passions for the administration of justice and by
dressing his real and imaginary wrongs by the red and
ardy hand of assassination the ruausm of the outlaw
SO far il shall within my province to deal with this
spirit pledge you that win crush it out, sacrifice my
self in the effort Every of millions of fellow citizens
who choose to exercise his unquesonabe right plant
himself his family and his property soil TO swell its
strength and develop its resources must feel that the broad
agis of the law shelters him and his from outrage, and that
its word is keen and ready to punish him summary and un
faingly for outrage of the rights of others.
We must, too, do duty in cementng and preserving
glorious Union by the srctes adherence const
utiona and legal obligations and readiness aid
rights which that constitution and those laws have sacredy
guaranteed to them for the management of their affairs
whilst, at the same time, must with the most vigorous
and determined rmness unimpared and unques
toned to every citizen of Territory freedom of opinion
in the regulation Of The principle of the bill for
erecting Territory, need scarcely tell you, has my
hearty approval Fercey it has been assaed has its
foundation deep in the doctrine of true repubcanism. I'm
der these doctrines the whole UnonNorth South East
and Wes-has invited to here and mould own
institutions to us it shall seem good.
.We have accepted the invitation, and with PopaH Voee
banner prepared to give proof
of the ability of our people for egoyernment by going to
the ballot boxthere conceding each other the right of
free discussion and opinion which claim for ourselves and
sacrificing the allpowerful will of the majority all
interests and feelings and preudice whatever question
be involved in the decision Thus and thus only,
discharge duty ourselves show appreciation of the
principle of territorial BILL and contribute its perma
nency of easy solution for all future time OF a
dangerous and exciting question in national councils
'Thus, with law and order regnng in midst, mutual
tolerance hands and accerang prog
ressfanacism disarmed and the Union sustained by
cheerful and determined observance Of the constitution that
binds it togetherby preserving uumpaired the purity of
the balotbox and deciding there frecen should the
questions which the nation has properly referred to it, each
man calmly fearessy and dspasonatey expressing his
opnion and casting his conformity the dictates
his conscience and understanding and by bowling submits
syey TO the will the majority when properly ascertaned
we shall have done whole duty and may expect to
reap its pleasant fruits
