did not think Lane capable Of such an effort. In
that effort he fully indicated his aoity to ill seat
in the highest legislative body in the land He be-
gan an earnest recital of the wrongs of the Kansas
squatters. He said he was there III ylndlcatiOn

He spoke of the usurpng, lawless act
by which Missouri Iwrested the legislative power
from the people. He spoke of the armies that had
invaded the March election He gave his remarks
fearful significance to the Governor. You, said
he, pointing bis bOny finger at a member OF the
bogus Legislature, "yOu, Mcdonald, know that TO
"be true and YOU. Wade" 10 another "yOu re-

went on. He painted the long black catalogue in
fearully stern language, aud brought 1t home with
his long bODy finger to these men, and they hung
their heads and covered abashed. And then came
the change. He turned to the Governor and Secre-
tary Stanton. He was courteous but stern. lie
told Walker that his name had been household

reminded Secretary Stanton of the time when they
stood together III the halls of Congress. He re-
minded Secretary Stanton that they were both Ken

He spoke in bitterness of the = National Democ-
racy" He had come to Kansas to establish that
party, but that party had denounced the wrongs of
his friends as abolition lies" and them Adolf
tionists. Then be went on to denounce the election
under the bogus census and the whole bogus au-
thOrty They repudiated it; they spit on 1t, and no
Free-State man would prove recreant to his rights
by indorsiDg it. As he spoke he was received with
enthusiasm. At first there were some little indIca-
tions from the "Law-and. Order" Lecompton De-
mocracy of little of the peculiar kind ct argument
in which they deal. Once or twice saw some
eyes fash wickedly; but there was no chance. The
enemy was five 10 one against them, and, above all,
not afraid Of them.
II Was most lamentable breakdown for Walker.
The resolutions were kept in Obscurty; they dared
not present them The interchangeable Perrin d,d get
ON his legs but the effort was evidently regarded as
merely pous attempt to pronoduce the benedic-
ton as after the first sentence the company began
t. dismiss He soon stopped. The last heard OF
him he was saying something about when my
mission to Kansas terminates" from which 1t
would appear that he was political missionary to
the benigbted heather of Kansas. And thus ter
minated Walker Law-and-Order Democracy, stran-
gled in its birth, at the spot where the Frec-State
movement first saw the light.
