THE REPEATING ACTS OF KANSAS

There were certain acts of the first Legisla-
ture of the Territory Of Kansas which seemed
to be universally condemned, and which recev.
ed the special reprobation of such prominent
Senators as Messrs. Cass, Weller, and others,
and which the bill of Mr.. Toombs proposed to
annul by authority of Congress. The subjoined
enactments, which we find certified by the Chief
Clerk of the Council, will show how far the
work of repeal has gone:
Be 1t enacted by the Governor and the Leqisla.
tice assembly Of the Territory Of Kansas:
SEC. l. That 80 much of the eleventh section
of an act entitled AN act to regulate elections"
as provides that any person challenged as a voter
may be required to take an oath or affirmation
that he will sustain the provisions of the several
acts of Congress in that section specified, be and
the same is hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. All officers hereafter elected or ap-
pointed to any office of honor, trust, or profit,
under the laws of this Territory shall, before
entering upon the duties of such office, take
and subscribe an oath to support the Constitu-
ton of the United States and the provisions of
An act to organize the Territories of Nebraska
and Kansas, and faithfully to demean himself
in office, and no other.
SET. 8. All attorneys at law obtaining Ii.
cence in this Territory shall take and subscribe
an oath to support the Constitution of the Uni
ted States and the provisions of an act to or.
| ganize the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas
and faithfully and honestly to demean himself
in his practice.
Sec. 4. All acts and parts of acts inconsist.
ent with the provisions of this act are hereby
repealed.

and after its passage. THOMAS JOHNSON,

LETTER OF HON. R. ]. WALKER.
WASHINGTON, March &c, l55


DEAR SIR: l have, at your request, reconsid-
cred my determination, as announced to you,
declining your tender of the Office of Governor of
the Territory of Kansas. In view of the opin-
ion now presented by you, that the safety of the
Union may depend upon the selection of the
Individual 10 whom shall be assigned the task
of settling the difficulties which again surround
the Kansas question, / have concluded that
solemn sense of duty to my country requires
me to accept this position. / am brought to
this conclusion with 81 unaffected difidence in
my own ability, but with fervent hope that the
same overriding Providence which has carried
my beloved country through so many perils will
now attend and direct my humble efforts for her
welfare, and that my course will not be preiudg-
ed by any portion my fellow citizens, in or out Of
Kansas.
/ understand that you and all your Cabinet
cordially concnr in the opinion expressed by
me, that the actual bona .tfde residents of the
Territory Of Kansas, by fair and regular vote,
unaffected by fraud or violence, must be per.
United, in adopting their State Constitution, to
decide for themselves what shall be their social
institutions. This is the great fundamental
principle of the act Of Congress organizing that
Territory, affirmed by the Supreme Court of the
United States, and is in accordance with the

he iuterfered with ours he must also interfere
with the other for it would have no more
rights than we, until admitted into the Union.
and that would create another hopl There
is no law Of Congress which allows the Terri.
torial Government any power to form a State.
Ia Michigan, the Territorial Government got
up Constitution for State, and was refused
admission. The people formed one also,
bat in the same way in which we have, and
acere admitted; so with California. / was
then with Governor Geary. Upon the acquisi-
ton of that State, the people were under the
old Mexican Government. A new one was
formed by the people; and when once perfected,
nothing more was ever heard of the old one.
Congress admitted them-it could do nothing
else. 1t never can and never will compel a
State to change its Constitution. No attempt
will be made to stop US, except by legal pro-
cess-and all such we should carry up to the
Supreme Court; aud before a decision could be
got there we would be, in the Union. What
then would be the need?
All that is necessary for US to do, is to keep
aloof from the doiDgs of the bogus Legislature,
and keep up Our own. Governor Geary, in his
veto message, said that, if We do not vote, we
must submit to those who do. We must vote,
and do so apart from, and repudiate, the affairs
OF the Territorial Legislature. In this way we
can test our strength, and yet make no acknowl-
edgment to their tyranny.
You now have my reasons for my course,
which has been so much misunderstood, as well
as my views OF future policy. do not blame
you for condemning it without knowledge of
the facts as have given them. / should have
felt just so myself | may have erred in judg-
ment-I probably have; | am fallible, as all
men are--I an very fallible. But it has always
been my highest endeavor to serve the cause of
Kansas-to labor for her freedom.
Gentlemen, thank you for the kindness with
which you have heard me.

Contemplated Partition OF Nicaragua.

Intelligence was received by the illinois, on
Saturday, that Convention is new in session
at San Miguel, in the Republic of Salvador, for
the partition of Nicaragua among the States OF
Costa Rica, San Salvador, and honduras. 1t
is understood that Nicaragua is /. conserving
party.
1t is intended that the partit on shall be
nearly as follows:
Costa RIGA will take both banls of the San
Juan river and the territory betw EN- the Lake
and the Caribbean Sea. Hondu as will take
Chontaias. The rest will fall to AN Salvador.
And if 80, it will be great acqt isition. For
San Salvador is the most populot for her ex-
tent, and removal of many of b, { inhabitants
into the new territory would, it is believed, be
relief from which great benef is would be
derived.
In agreeing to this arrangement it is under
stood that Nicaragua will require each of the
States to keep sufficient force the terrific
~ they may receive, to preserp peace and
security to person and property.
1t is also understood that all Il Powers In
terested will stipulate that after t g lapse Of q
number of years, Ito be named ne fragments
shall be permitted to unite agai as an indie
pendent Republic, without oppos ion, if they
shall desire to do so.

Escape of Political Prisoners Prospect of An

ToPEKA, KANSAS, March l6, 1857.
The last of the political prisoners are now at
liberty. There were three yet remaining at
Teeumseh the day before yesterday. On Fri
day. the news came up here that one had been
put in chains by Marshal Pardee. That night,
!, file was sent down to him, and Yesterday
morning he called at the Topeka Hotel, for
lodgings. He is almost totally deaf. in con-
sequence Of his long imprisonment. His name
is James Townsley. He was formerly from
Maryland and was one of Capt. Browns COM
pany; Henry kilbourne, boy of fifteen years,
who had been sentenced to twelve months con.
fne'nent in the county Jail by Judge Cato
ProSiavery lawyer, who was imprisoned by
Judge Lecompte, for acting counsel and ties
tlying in the Hickory Point case for the pris
oner The two latter escaped last night. A
single guard was in the room with them, but
being q Pro Slavery man, he was quite easily
got drunk, and they had no difficulty in putting
themselves on file for freedom.
Everything indicates that are to have an
other war, and it is to come soon. 1t will
probably be brought on by attempt to col
lect taxes for the support of the bogus Govern
meut, under the ocalled laws. Another rup-
tnre once made, no man can point out the end.
Yet We are even now living in state of latent
war. There has been no peace, except at a
sacrifice Of our right. Better war for liberty
than such peace.

THE PROPOSED New CONSTITUTION FOR Iowa.
A Constitutional Convention, which had been
sitting in Iowa City through February, COM
pleted its labors and adjourned on the eth inst.
Some of the features of the Constitution formed
by it are novel and important-as follows:
/ The State is to be divided by its next Legis-
lature into eleven judicial districts, whereof
each is to elect by popular vote district Judge,
to serve for four years, and to be paid $1,000
per annum. The Supreme Court is to consist
of three Judges, also elected by the people,
each to serve six years, one to go out every
second year. They are to have $4,000 per an
num. In Chancery suits, the Supreme Court
has appellate jurisdiction only.
No special charter may be granted. The
State must contract no debt exceeding $3.50, 900.
The Legislature cannot make the State respon-
.sible for any county's or companys debts.
This Constitution Is to be accepted or re-
jected, by popular vote at the annual election
next August This election is hereafter to be
held on the second Tuesday in October, on
which day Governor, &C., are to be chosen
