tee to report business for the action o

after considerable discussion, was unani-
mously adopted:
Z WHEREAS, the unfair legislation by the
Lecompten Legislative Assembly. anu
the manner of registration under the act
providing for call of convention to
form Constitution has excluded large
majority Of the voters of Kansas from
participation in the election OF delegates
TO said convention I; therefore,
7 Resolved ist, That this convention re-
.spectfully and earnestly recommend to
the Free State party, Of Kansas, that the
election for delegates, in pursuance Of
the law enacted by the Lecompton bogus
Legislature, be disregarded and permit
ted to pass without any participation
therein by the Free State party of Kan
sas.
g, That the people Of Kansas now as
eyer. disown as sinvalid and Of no force or
effect the authority Of the Territorial Gov
ernment as embodied in the enactmcnts
ofthe so,called Legislature of Kansas.
3. That tits made Incumbent on the
people Of Kansas, by the highest consid
erations of justice and expe6iency, to
look forward now as ever, to their admis-
1sion into the Union under the Constitu-
ton which they have already formed. as
the only method Of adjusting existing diff
ficulties TO which they will assent.
4. That the people of Kansas will pur-
sue with unfaltering steadiness of pur-
pose, the application now pending before
the Congress of the United States, for
their admission into the Union under
their own Constitution, and with their
own government, resting their hopes for
the success thereof upon the profound
confidence they feel that measure so
eminenty just. and SO accordant to the
principles OF past legislation in our coun-
try will eventually be conceded and sane
toned to then, by the Representatives OF
theAmerican People.
s. That the Constitution framed and
adopted at Topeka, had its origin in pub
lie necessity, was the offspring of the pop
nlar will, and experience has proved the
wisdom Of those who framed it, and it is
the duty of the Legislature and Officers
elected under il, to complete the State or
ganization, and keep its machinery in
readiness for use so soon as we are ad
mitted into the Union or the necessities I
Of the people shall require.
6. That since the issues of the past
have been sufficient to develop the ster-
ling principles of every man in Kansas I;
therefore, we regard any man who SYM
pathizes with our oppressors to the ex-
tent That he consents to become dele
gate to the Lecomption Convention, or
candidate to the same, as unworthy the
fellowship or. confidence of Free State
Men, and should be regarded with suspi-
cion everywhere.
The convention adjourned sine die. 1t
was largely attended BY the leading Free
State men in Kansas.
The Free State Legislature organized
On the 10th. Lieut.. Gov. Roberts pre-
sided in the Senate. The Legislature /,
went into secret session to discuss the
proprlety Of Immediately organizing and :
putting into operation the State Govern
ment, and almost unanimously sustained
the action Of the convention.
On the lth, the Senate elected w. "A. !,
Phillips State Senator in place of Lane.
Gov. Robinson's message was read the
same day.
Gov: Walker and his secretary and re-
porter were also at Topeka. Gov w.
made aspeech the evening of the 10th.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
writes:

the Constitution and the Union; regret

Constitutional Convention did not submit {

people to cooperate with him in restor- i

would admit Of a peaceful adjustment. "
The speech created rather favorable n
impression OF the whole, though it was a
particularly remarkable for nothing. G
The correspondent of the Democratic ii
Press says: ~
Threats have been made that the Leg n
