as well as all matters relating TO the for

pointment of officers and the persons 70
whom returns shall be made. which shall
be determined by this convention for the
purpose of electing Delegate 10 repre-
sent this Territory IN the 34th Congress
of the United States.
The reasons of policy which have IN
duced your committee TO recommend
the separate election, are several. Firstto
vote upon the same day at the same polls
would be an acknowledgement OF tie
right of the late Legislature to cali an
election. This objection might be obvi-
ated should we go to the polls in obedi-
ence to the decision of this convention,
but then another difficulty occurs
From evidence given before US, we are
convinced that large portion of the
Free State Party will decline to vote al
the expense of an oath to support spec
tally named laws. nor is this sentiment
confined to the opposers of the Fugitive
Slave Law and others, mentioned, bal
extends to the believers in the justice
and propriety of that enactment among
whom are some members of your COM
mittee,
Second, Should we be disposedto vote
at the day appointed by the Legislature,
past experience tells US thai We shall By
force be prevented from exercising thai
right of freeman. while by the adoption
of second day we avoid unnecessary
disturbance, aud may send our Dele
gate to claim his seat, confident thai
the last fact, taken with tie various lega'
grounds why the Legislature were inca
pacitated from making binding laws vii
claim the favorable attention OF Congress
We would recommend the appointmen
of committee to draft a memorial tc
Congress setting forth more elaborated,
| the reasons which have induced tt.
course, and which may be placed at eacl
poll on the day of election. finally ap
pointed by the Convention. so that i
may be signed by every voter. We ais,
recommend that duplicate copies Of th'
returns be made and one copy presentee
to the Governor of the Territory for hi
signature and the seal of the Territory
and if he refuse, then the other dupli
cate copy may be sent to Washington.
Upon the other subject referred 70 tn
committee recommend the following:

Vkereas, The citizens of Kansas
Territory were prevented from electing
members to Territorial Legislature In

Executive on the 30th of March last by
armed mobs who came into the Terrific
ry and forced upon the people the votes
of noR-residents and aliens, inimical to
the interests of the resident voters sef
Kansas Territory, thereby defeating the
objects of the Organic Act which among
other things provided that after The firss
election the Legislature should provide
for the eIeetiosl of a Delegate to Con-
gress
And, whereas, the Legislative Body
lately sitting at Shawnee Mission were
not at q place where valid laws could be
made. and where, consequently. no valid
provision for the coming election could
be made the people are driven 70 the
necessity of meeting in their sovereign
capacity TO provide for said election
therefore.
