What will be the issue OF the contest between
Messrs. Reeder and Whitfield, Is a question often
discussed. 1t will not be who mas received the
larger number OF votes. but who was voted for on
the day appointed by law; was 1t q competent and
legally constituted legislative body that enacted
that law7 and had it q legal Executive sanction Z
Hwihout the latter only, who caused the omission
or mpossbiliiy of such SANCTION and eau such per-
son take advantage OF his own acts
"A recent speech delivered at Leavenworth, by
Governor. shannon presents this subject very for

not such as he can answer for his acquiescence in
his tendency Of things prior to their conflicting
with his own Interests, too thorough and entire
to permit OF his now ignoring any of the acts of Il
aDUarputIy dominant patty IN Kansas. Ills sup
torters are the Free State party; yet he recently,
in a speech near his home in lennsylvania pro
claimed himself in favor of squstter sovereignty
and declared that although opposed to slavery if q
,a.:arity OF the p.opie of Kansas were 10 declare
for it. he would acaliesee without a inurmur."-
yIr Whitfield would find in q straight-oat Rcpubl:

There have been minor caucuscs of all partie,
