Z. And it is confirmed still further by the circular
of the Emigration Society of Lafayette in Missouri,
dated late as 25th March 1855, in which the eff.
forts Of Missourians are openly confessed:-
The western counties Of Missouri have for last two
years been heavily taxed, both in money and Tine in

srd that the laws they passing faith July
cutd Has this age anything to compare with these acts
g. In harmony with all these is the authoritative
declaration OF Governor Reeder, in speech address
ed to his neghbors, at Easton Pennsylvania at the
end of April, 1856 and Immediately afterwards pub
1t was indeed TOO true thai Kansas had been invaded
conquered sutjugsted by an armed from beyond

10. And in similar harmony is the complaint of
the people of Kansas in public meeting at Big
Springs, on the 5th Sc ptember, 1868, embodied in
these words:
months have been passing laws Tor the psps Of Ter
rtory moved, counseled, and dictated to the dema
gogues Of Missouri to foreign body representing

as the monstrous Communication Of act of violence

IL. And finally, by the official minutes which
have been laid on table by the President the in
vasion which ended ia the usurpation is clearly es
tablisbed; but the effect of this testimony has been
SO amply exposed by the Senator from Vermont,
(Mr. COilamer,) in his able and indefatigable ar
gument, that content myself with simply referring
to it.
On this cumulative, irresistible evidence, in con.
curlence with the antecedent history, I rest. And
yet Senators here have argued that this cannot be
so-precisely as the conspiracy OF Catilne was
doubted in the Roman Senate Nonnuui stunt in
hoe ordiae q,li aut ea quo imminent, non Uideant;
aut ca, qua Utdent, dissimuient qui spem Catalina

to the Senator from Illinois, while he painfully strOve
ed OF the effort by distinguished ogician in much
admired argument, to prove that Napoleon Bona
parte never existed. And permit me to say, that
the fact of his existence Is not placed more com.
pleely above doubt than the fact of this usrpaton.
This l assert on the proofs already presented.
But confirmation comes almost while | speak.
The columns OF the public press now daily filled
with testimony, solemnly taken before the Commit
tee of Congress in Kansas which shows in awful
light the violence ending In the usurpation. OF this
! may speak on some other occasion. Meanwhile,
proceed with the development OF the crime
The usurping Legislature assembled at the ap-
pointed place in the interior, and then at once, in
opposition to the veto of the Governor, by MAORI
ty OF twothirds, removed to the Shawnee Mission,
place in most convenient proximity TO the Missouri
bOrderers, by whom it had been constituted, and
whose tyrannical agent 1t was The statutes Of
Missouri in all their text, with their divisions and
subdivisions, were adopted bodily, and with such
little local adaptation that the word state in the
original ia not even changed to Territory" but is
left to be corrected by an explanatory act But all
this general legislation was entirely subordinate to the
