Governor Shannon began his remarks by thanks
ing the audience fur tIeif courteous reception.
II gFadfed hita,the said, not because it was per-
Sonally fottetHg, but because II showed hInthat
they were decide oil his official ca
reer in advance. II sIluwed him that lie might
rely on YOUR aidsin endeavoring TO overcome
obstacles which he{waS aware existed, but hoped
were not InslrmountabIe.
A yotce-Yes, you sltal have our aid.
He regretted to see III Certain portiUns of
Territory disposition to nuthfy the claws which
have been enacted by your Eeg,slatute.'' This
" to be deplored He regretted, he said that he
had arrived too late to form the acquaintance of
the members ofthe Legislature. He knew noth-
ing Of tue laws passed by them, but fromthe abili-
ty and patriotism OF the gentlemen WIN composed
il, he doubted not that they were wise and iIdicl-
GUS, open resistance and notification of Them was
notthe proper way TO defeat their PROVISIONS. II
they We're unconstitutional, there were courts
to appeal To- Whichlh had been created for thepur-
pose ofdecidIng such questions.
As to the Legislature that recently adjourned,
at tile Shawnee AliSSIon5 he regarded it as legal
assembly cheers, aud thought that the objection
to It's power gIouuded on its removal from Paw
nee. was puerlle, every Legislature enjoyed tile
right OF removing the seat5of government ut pleas
IRE. The Executive and Judiciary of tue Terri
tory had acknowledged the Legislature as legal
body, and so would he. [Good.l
He regarded their laws as binding on every
citizen OF the Territory, and would use all his
executive power and authority TO carry them into
effect. Cheers.
He said he ,lld not intend to address them on
the various questions that divided the parties in
the Territory; perhaps he did rot them;
and he had not expected tospedk on isoccasion.
To one subject however, he would allude-Sta-
very His official life and career we've not nn-
known to a portion, at least, Of the citizens Of
I.hanSnS. He had no intention OF changing his
political faith. He thought, with reference to
slavery, that us Missouri and Kansas were adion-
ing States, as much of that immense commerce up
the Missouri, which was nlreadyryaling The com
merce between the United States and some Euro
pean countries, must necessarily lead to great
trade, and perpetual intercourse between them, IL
would be WellIt their institutions Should LIarlnon-
lze-aS otherwise. there would be conlinualquar
Iels aud border feuds. fife tcas for slapeTy in

AtterthankIng the audience, The new Governor
withdrew.
Gen. Whitfield spoke next. His speech, 10 use
a Dutch phrase, was .sworse as bdu;'' it was far
inferior even 10 his anti.eloquent address to the
Delegates at the Shawnee nilsson.

Col. Hay mounted the steps. IamlIequested TO
say that Mr. Parks modeSty prevents him from
speaking.
Afree and easy voice. Well, Colonel, 1 hope
nothingli prevent You from speaking.
Col. Hay,with dignity: Sir, lspea6 atthe point
OF thepsn. OF to reasonable gentlemell--never to
an excited crowd.
The crowd happened TO be in good humor,
and took this severe cutas Jest, and cheered tine
speaker.
You will observe that Governor Shannon limited
that he might require the aid of &lIssoURtANs, for
the crowd that he had addressed was composed OF
residents of WeStpoIt ant VeStport is tile State
OF Missouri. Whether the Goyernorls aware, of
