We give elsewhere the Message OF acting Gov
ernsr Stanton TO TIE Territorial Legislature o.
Ksn,ss That body met On the eth asreeably II
the Governors proclamation, but as no quorum
was present they adjourned TO the next day, wher
Il ere were eleven members present in the Council,
and twenty one in the House. The Council organ.
lied by electing c. w. BabcOck President; J. X.
Goodwin, Secretary; G.. A Cotton, Assistant
Secretsg; d. H. Weir, EDgros'ing Clerk, and
divers other officers. In the House, G. W.
Deizer was elected President; c. T. Currier,
Chief Clerk, and full set Of officers.
The cause assigned in STATIONS Message fol-
calling the Legislature together is the profound
agitation Of the public mind, under sense Of
wrong and injustice, growing out of the appsehen'
son that the people of Kansas may be obliged to
submit to the operation Of q fundamental law in
the adoption of which they have had no actual par
ticipatioo.
Though upholdins, as he could no! help doing,
considering his own share in bringing It together,
the technical Legality Of the Convention, Mr.. Stan
ton freely exposes the futity Of its preteusons to
be considered as representing the people of Kansas
As preliminary to the election Of delegates, re-
gis.ry of voters had been ordered to he made;
hut in just one half the counties nothing whatever
was done toward carrying out this proyision in
the other half, the registry was very imperfect,
while Of this registered fraction Of the legal voters
less than q quarter part took any share in the
election.
The plan proposed in the Message to secure to
the people of the Territory an opportunity to be
heard TO- the enactment OF a law providing for q
vote, yes or no, upon the adoption Of the Lecomp.
ton Constitution the election to be held at the same
times and places specified in Calhcuu's proclsua-
ton, but urder officers to be appointed BY the Leg
islsture.
We have by telegraph dates from Kansas two
day, later than the delivery Of this Message. No &C.
ton bad then been taken upon the subjects referred
to in it. The Legislature bad heen employed in
unseating the members who claimed sests uader
the fraudulent KickapoO returns. The Free State
claimants had been subIttuted for these bogus
members, and there is now Free State msjority
in both Houses sufficient to override any Executive
vetces. This Was good preparation for the ap-
pontment Of Denver in the place Of Stanton
piece Of information which, at the latest date had
not reached Kansas, and which, when it dees
arrive, will hardly tend to allay excitement.
Calhoun has declined the nomination for Governor
under the bogus Constitution, which has been given
10 one Frank Marshall, The same Convention has
non mated q Mr.. Carr for Congress.

Accounts from the City of Mexico, received Wis

no mean, confirm the reports Of the approaching
downfall ef Comonfort brought to Nev-Orleans a
fortnight since by the Tennessee. AS we copjsc-
tured at t,e time, these reports would appear
rather TO have been founded on the wishes aud
hope, Of the Mexican e1iles on bOa'd the Tennessee
than upon any ba,is OF fact.

The exploration Of the country along the banks
Of the ella has been considerably advanced BY the
operations carried on under Col. Bonneville. The
Indian Inhabitants of that country-princpslly, in
deed, from the nature Of the country whch they
intabit-are rather formidable enemies; and the
rore we come in contact with them, the less occa-
sion there seems for wonder at the success they
have met with in overrunping and curtailing the
Mexican settlements. They are herdmen as well
a. warriors, being often in possession Of large
Hocls of sheep-stOlen, however, for the most
psIt, from their Mexican neighbors. They fight
desperately, ard in recent engagement two
women were killed, armed and fighting with bows
ard arrows. Bonnevilles expedition, like Others

with immense quantities of broken pottery ind-
eating the former possession Of the country by
race superior to the present inhabitants. The
service in that country is very severe, including i'm

sandy deserts, without water sometimes for =
march Of twenty four hours or more.

Governor Walkers letter to the President, re-
sienrg ais commission as Cover ,or, is not merely
defense Of himseu it is an attack upon the good
faith of the President, which cannot fail to cause
tina. functionsry 8 great deal Of uuessiuess. The
Governor takes the ground that nothing but his
promises, authorized by the President, that the
Leoompton Constitution should be submitted to
the people, prevented the assumption Of authority
under the Topeka Constitution, accompanied, as it
must have been BY civil war; nor does he entertain
doubt that the failure to keep this promise aud
ths attempt to force the LscomptOn Constitution
on the people viii be attended BY "a like result.
