Gov. Walker and Secretary Santon's official
proclamation to the People Of Kansas setting forth
their reasons fox rejecting the impudenty frauda-
lent return from Oxford, johnson County, is given
at length in our columns to-day. We think no one
will deny the force Of these reasons. They remind
US strongly of the case Of the Irishmsn who was
called before Court to explain bis fathers dsobe-
dience to a summons. He commenced by stating
that hi, father had fourteen excellent reasons for
disobeying the summons-as follows: I. He was
dead, and couldn't come Here the Judge stopped
him with On intimation that the other thirteen
might be withheld.
There can be NO doubt in any fair mind that
Walker has done exactly right in rejecting this
bogus return of votes never cast not even fraudu-
lently; yet what comment is this act on the past
history of Kansas! For more than two years her
people have been kept under the heel Of their Bit
ter enemies-haye bad their houses sacked, their
stock and crops stolen and been themselves hunted
manned and slaughtered, on preteIts Of legality In
the rule imposed on them by Rorder- Rufiian in
yasion and fraud; but no President Congress,
Governor or Judge could be induced to interfere
in their behalf-all talked justice and self govern.
ment yet upheld fraud and usurpaton. Atlength,
affairs have reached pass when, As Gov. Walker
afrms, it is impossible to secure submission 70 the
new frauds found necessary to uphold the Border
Rufian sscendency-in bis own words:
"In view of the condition Of affairs in Kansas for
several years past of the efforts so long made to put
in operation here revolutionary Government, and Of
the fact that this effort was suspended under the belief
that the political difficulties OF this Territory might at
length be fairly adjusted at the posi II that adjust
melt shoud now be defeated and the people deprived
Of their righfu power under the laws OF Congress- BY
fictitious returns of votes never given, it Is solemn
O. pyicon that the psccation Of Kansas through the
exercise of the elective franchise, would become i'm
practicable, and that civil war would Immediately be
recommepced in this Territory, extending, We fear to
adjacent States and sublecung the Government oil the
Union to imminent peril"
That is the naked, perpendicular truth, Governor
il YOU never told it before. If you had undertake,
to bolster up this abominsble fraud, and impose
another wear Of ProSlavery rule on the freemen Of
Kansas on the strength Of it, you would have
brousht the whole question at once TO the arbitra
tom Of cold steel The People Of Kansas had fully
resolved to try this one more peaceful struggle for
their r;sht. and this falling they had resolved to
re.ume them BY the strong arm; and you did well
to recol before them; for they had friends outside
of Kansas who would not have pesceably stood BY
and seen your artillery and dragons cut them
down. In view Of this fact you find it easy
enough to override the explicit requirements Of
both the organic Act and the bogus Territorial law
aid Give the certificates to the candidates whom
you knew to have been really elected, and not to
those whom the returns showed to have received
the hisbe.t number Of votes respectively. No legal
technically, no plea Of impotence, is interpOsed
when You had become fully satisfied that the right
thing must be done. VIII you not pass along the
