fore diechsrging his recosnizsne w'aeh was saken,
however, by Judge, whose district has a. yet not
been ssss med him.
Ia the midst Of all t- confusion turning coouy from
boee who had thus warmly welcomed him, associa'tnz
with ttose ouly from one particular section OF tne
Union perssring in not adopting that course when
alone could produce order from this chaos Il u not
irguisr that loud complsuings SHOULD be heard and
tbs sinister motives should be attributed 10 him for his
cordpc.
The Governor then commences his course OF spesu-
stion beginning by arrs,ing himself directly IN oppo-
sitou 10 the opinions Of The General Government, as
EXPRESSED by the Attorney enera IN relation 10 Del
aware lands by purchasing properly on those lands,
ard ,isiuV tbs the opinions OF the law officer Of tn
General Government were incorrCct, aud OF no force
n correct; thus setting example of INSTRUMENTATION
70 those less Informed and which may end III coniict
between the Teopie Of this Teri DRY and the General
Government unless the rights OF the squsers on those
lencs aIe recognized in conducting the sales OF them.
He then commences a tour Of observation thfodgh
the Territory for tie OsensIble purpose OF preparing
for census &C. but which from bis sGbsequent con
duct prov I'd be only Of speculation for he ~as
known TO be Shareholder in macy OF the yanOus
town companies throughout the 1, itory Finally in
the month Of February, when the snow WAS some two
feet il Gepth, be orders census % be taken the nor
culean tack which had So alarmed him., and II was
taken In about three weeks, under the Gnfavorabe
cifcums aIce- above stated.
PROCLAMATION was then issued for en- election OF
members 10 the Legislative Assembly, 70 be held on
the 5Oth Of March 1855, said proclamation containing
sec non claiming by the Governor the night to decide
contested elections there by claiming the right to over

ballobOx and to iii the Legs AZURE with whomsoever
he chose-vriusily DISTINGUISHING ever man ia Kan
sas Territory and also eusctng Name Liquor Law,
providing for the destruction Of liquor under certain
circumstances.
After the contes. was over and the result kno En,
he delayed the assembling Of the BODY until the 2i
cav Of july more than three months afterward, aud
that too when the whole Union was CONFUSED on
account OF alleged 0Urages in Kansas Territory, and
vet no law for the punishment, prevention Of them.

a eaIing Inconsistency, yet not more so than The rest
Of the document, viii you viii perceive by reading
/ the points MADE by him. We viii briefly state them,
without argument to show Their utter ialaoy, SO
! shown by lin.sef as ere confident that you VIII
peiceve them al glance. Oae point u, that Fort
/ LeaveLworth is the seat of government, made 50 by
the organic act that law passed anywhere else than
at III, seat Of government would he Illegal
J. That be hnd the right TO call the Legislature 70 meet
az q point OF the of government that IL Paw
noe) ana that laws enacted there Though not the SO u
Of overnmeni) would be legal, thereby destroying
the preceding proposition.
Tfat we could have passed an act at Pagnee-
though not the seat OF government, and thereby lie
ga-esiablishing permanent seat OF government,
point not The seHt of governneht-haye met az such
permanent seat of government, and there have made
legal and binding stuos or, ny the snm7 lie la pro-
cess having adjourned TO Fort Leav~nworth, the seat
Of government and there have made legal aud bind
ing statutes.
We would respectfully represent that, if the above
are the h0ReSt opinions of Governor ReedeT you must
admit lis utter incompe,eDcy discharge the high
cuiies imposed upon him, and he should be removed.
Ii hey he not his honest opnio then Is be acting
with the sinister design Of defeating the whole object
for which assembled.
II be believe tb,t Fort Leave worth is the seat OF
government, and that laws passed anywhere else than
at that Joint would be egel and void, then call
to Pawu,e 81 es islae Is wiul, del berate and base
at,up t 10 render all acts OF Whatever character
PewDee is not the seat Of government and acts passed
anyn here ese than at the seat OF government
necessity void and for which be should be removed.
We will not proceed uIt' Ell with this, but will sim
ply aver that from The action of Congress, Fort Leay-
eI worth is not the TEN orary seat Of gOrvern-
ment. The bin provides in the 3lst section that Fort
LeavenwoTth shall be the temporary seat OF govern
N, pi and that such building nc may not be needed
for tie of THE military shall be used by the Gov
en- o. and Legislative Assembly. Asubsequent clause
OF on arpropria ion bill provides for the appropriation
Of twenty five thousand dollars be expended upon
the eonn. eIcy, rather the appropriation male upon
the oon geucy thai the requisite buildings could not
/ be obtained firm the Military or Department. Tnat
appropriation having been made and paid over proved
concusyely that the contin. ency mentioned has
aIisen and that tie buildings refused A subs =
quent appropriation made on the 81 Of March, 1855,
provides at tie Of tive Dtyfve thousand dollars
/ be appIo rated, AID that in addition to the amount
! areaty a Iroprated shall be expended in making
suitable buildings at the permanent seat of govern
I meDt.
Now If Fort Leavenworth is the seat of government
and the place for the Lee islature and transact
busin ss then this absurd consequence follows; that
