texercising his duties objects himself setting the

! The first legislative assembly, whatever may
have been the ipfornalities in the election of
members, was, for alfpracticaf purposes, law
full body and in this connection the President
reviews Reeder's conduct, regarding the reno
val of the seat of Government. and Reeder S re-,
fuSaI to sign the bills passed by that body The
illfeeEing in that territory has now reached such
point that II threatens the peace, not only of
kanSas, bGt of the Union. Relative to the re-
cent convention which formed free state con-
stitution, he says, it was by party and not by
the people, who thus acted contrary to the prin-
ciPles ofpublc law practice under the Constitu-
ton of the o. S., and the rules of right and com
mon sense. The movement in opposition to the
constitutional authorities in Kansas is reyolu-s
tonory, and fit reach the point Of organized re.
sistance, it will be reasonable inslurcctiop, and

fine the duties of the states and territories clto
decide whether the law is wise on unwise, lust
or unjust it is his duty TO cause it to be execu-

apprehend u renewal Of disorder unless decided
measures arc taken to prevent them.

Kansas shall desire State formation and be of
sufficient numbers, the proper course will be 10
