EXTRACT FROM SPEECH
OF
HON. JOHN p. HALE.
OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
IN the UNITED STATES SENATE, FEB
RuARY, IS, 1856

OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

nOunces the proceedings OF these
gentlemen IN Kansas who have un-
derlaken to form a State Constitu-
ton as revolutionary, and says thai If
their measures are carried out, it
will be treason. Well, sir, perhaps
it is very difficult TO define and say
exactly where people may begin to
reform their Government without
the consent of the existing Govern
ment, and / shall not venture to ex-
press any crude opinions Of my own
upon that subject but | shall favor
you with the opinions Of the Presi-
dent of the United States himself
upon that very question. 1t cannot
have escaped the recollection Of
gentlemen, that about fourteen years
ago there was very noted indlvid
nal in this country, by the name Of
Thomas w. Dun, who claimed to
be elected Governor of Rhode ISL
aud but the result Of his election
was, that he found that he would
be safer in any other State than the
one Of which he claimed to be Gov
ernor lie left there, and went first
TO Connecticut, and remained there
a little while, and then came to New
Hampshire; a large public meeting
was holden in Concord on the llth
day of December. 1912 aud at
that meeting General Pierce deliy-
cred a very congmtulaiory speech To
Governor Dorr. aud closed with the
presentation of siries Of reSolu-
tious, which, as they are not long, ]
will read

ler," Kansas" for "Rhode Island, >
and PRO Slavery party" for "Char
ter party" and see how it will thel
read. il would read IN this wise
