/ After dinner. a.committee of gentlemen.
residents of Westport, accompanied by act
ing Governor Woodson, and two or three.
members of the Legislator, rode down to
Kansas City, visited the Governor at the
American Hotel, where be put up. .andin.
vited him to return with them. He rode
with them to Westport.
In the evening he was serenaded, and
called out to address the audience, who
had gathered around the steps Of the ho.
tel. He appeared. &,
He stood on the very spot where a fam
lily namesake-a demagogue diyine-+had
stood few weeks before, and appealed to
the lowest passions Of the rabble, in order,
albeit, that Atchison might be elected, the
Union saved, and "a lost world converted
to God" 4

arrived too late to form the oooua;ntonoe
of the members of ,be 1or;s,.+n,o ua
knew nothing Of the laws nassed bv than
but from the ability and patriotism Of the
gentlemen who composed it, he doubted
not thatthey were wise and iudicious.
But, even if they we're no. wise and Judi.
cious, open resistance and notification of
them was not the proper way to defeat
their provisions. If thew were uneonsti.
tutional, there we're courts to appeal to-
which had been created for the purpose Of
deciding such questions (,
As to the Legislature that recently ad.
journed, at the Shawnee Mission, he repar-
ded it as a legal Assem- bly (Cheers) and
thought that the objection to its power
grounded on its removal from Pawnee. was
puerile, as every Legislature enioyed the
right of removing the seat of government
at pleasure The Executive and .Judicia.

Legislature as legal BODY, and SO would
