ton to govern you in the election, has
been adopted after mature deliberation,
and if adhered to by you, will result in
establishing in Kansas an Independent
Government that will be admitted into
our beloved Union as Sovereign State,
securing to our people the liberty they
have heretofore enjoyed, and which has
been SO ruthlessly wrested from them by
reckless invaders.
