good an opportunity for The Democratic party

rives from such sllbmisSion-iS submitted to

of Napoleon attributed to him when he was
elected First Consul. He is said 10 have call
ed cut his troops and had them reviewed bv his
officers with a speech, patriotic and fair in its
professions, in which he said to them: Nov,
my soldiers, you are to 20 to the election and
vote freely just as YOU please. Ii YOU vote

and You are instantly 10 be shot" That was
a fair election. [I.aughter] This election

many a man this question. have asked a

ceivcd the same answer from every one of

negative vote the constitution would have
been voted down by an overwhelming major
i1y. ard hence the fellows shall not be allow

constitution would have been voted down if

have been voted down by majority of four

But !. !, good reason why YOU should de-

the ACT to submit to the people any other
subject o: provision to be accepted CT reject
ed by then? as 4 part of their State Constitu-
ton. The reasoning employed to justify this
conclusion is weak and utterly inconcIus;vc,
and leaves the impression that the President
is arguing by constraint. not only against his
own previously assumed positions. but against
the convictions Of his conscience and under
standing. In Justification of the action of the
Convention it is sad that Under the earlier
practice Of the government no constitution
framed by the convention Of Territory pre-
paIatorv to its admission into the Union is a
State had been submitted to the people.
IN reply to this it may be said that the cir
cumstancvs of the cases are so unlike. that
the precedent relied upon, fails to excuse, in
the least. the course adopted by the Kansas
Convention. Its members knew. the Govern
Or Of the Territory knew. tie President and
the whole coautry knew. that this convention
represented the opinions and wishes of only
a small portion Of the people Of Kansas, and
that whatever constitution it might present
