DR.. Robinson, on taking the Chair, was
received with three cheers, on motion Of
Gen. Lane. The Doctor said, l think
feel the importance of the occasion, the
momentous Issue which has called us to-
gether, and l will serve you according to
the best of my ability. Kansas history
has been series of crises, one after an
other. The only difference is that this is a
more important one, as it is probably near
er the end than any other, when trust we
will be out of the woods. Thanking you
again for your confidence, the officers will

Judge S. w. JOHNSTON addressed the
meeting at length, in which he reviewed
the history of the late Constitutional Con-
vention, showed that they had not yet
completed their labors, inasmuch as they
had provided for a submission of some
features of their Constitution to the peo-
pie, and had empowered the President of
their Convention to count the votes, issue
the Proclamations, and do certain other
things under the direction of such Con-
vention; that their labors not being ended,
the people, through their legally elected
members to the Territorial Legislature had
right to intercept their labors, repeal the
law which called them into being, and
declare it felony to hold an election in the
manner provided for, as its tendency viii
be to disturb the public peace. He stated
that there was no question in regard to
the powers of the Legislature in this
respect, and showed that he was sustained
in it by high functionaries of Government.
The Judge was frequently loudly APP
plauded.
