question. Aad are patriotic men IN any part
Of the Union prepared, on such an issue, thus
ma,lly to invite all the consequences Of the
forfeiture ofther constitutional engagements
IL is impossible. The storm Of phrenzy and
faction must inevitably dash itself IN vain
against the mistaken rock 81 the constitution.
Shall never doubt it. know that the Union
is stronger a thousand times than all the wild
and chimerical schemes Of social change,
which are generated one after another, in
the unstable minds Of visionary sophists and
interested agitators. | rely confidently On
the patriotism Of the people, ON the dignity
and self-respect Of the States, on the wis
dom Of Congress, and above all, on the con-
tinued gracious favor OF Almighty God, to
maintain, against all enemies, whether at
home or abroad, the sanctity Of the constitn-
ton and the integrity Of the Union.

Minority Report ON Kansas Affairs.

In the House OF Representatives on the 9th.
Mr.. OLIVER presented report from the minor
i,y OF the Kansas Committee,
Mr.. OLIVER first proceeds to show that the
resolution OF the House constituting the CON-
mit,ee simply made it their duty to collect evil
dence and report il 10 the House. lie never
expected, therefore, that the committee would
undertake TO do any thing but report the evil
dence. The statement, in the nature Of report,
submitted by the majority, he arraigns as alto
gether ca pdne one sided, and partisan in its
character many Of the charges contained in il
not being sustained by the evidence and having
no foandstion in fact; and for the truth Of this
assertion be appeals to the testimony on hle
He states that the evidence clearly shows that
Gen. Whitfield was duly elected delegate to
Congress in November. 1854; and while the
testimony is conflicting and directly contra
dictory on some points relating to the election
Of March. 1855. for members Of the Legislature,
vet. from the whole, it clearly appears that the
anti.slavcry party was in a minority in fourteen
out Of the eighteen election districts. The az
gregate vote cast for their candidate through
out the Territory rs they appear on the poll
books, was short OF 500, while, by the Census
taken in February before, there were 1905
legal voters in the Territory, without making
any allowance for the immigration Of bona iide
settlers AFTER the ccnsus and before the election.
He further states that there is no evidence q,
any force or violence having been used to pre-
vent any man from voting who wished to vote
ia the entire Territory; that there Is no evil
dencc Of single assault aud battery about
voting in the entire Territory on that day; that
there is no evidence assailing in the slightest
degree the correctness Of Governor Recdcr's
Judgment 10 awarding certificates OF election to
the members Of the legislature as be did, and
that the legislature was proper law-mahlng
body. aud its laws therefore are valid as far AZ
consistent with the constitution OF the l States
and The Org arrf .ftf;; sss,sa A':,. WhssAl
being duly elected in pursuance of law thus
passed, Is entitled TO his seat Mr.. OLIVER nc
views at great length the existing troubles in
Kansas, and shows from the evidence that they
are properly chargeable to the revolutionary
movements Of those who got up the Topeka
convention and who have pledged themselves
10 resist the laws at all hazards.
