Peoples Movement at Hyatt.

The people of Hyatt have been driven, by
the unsettled state of affairs in the Territory,
and the absence of any legitimate Govern
ment, to take measures for their own protec-
tion. A meeting was held at Hyatt some
weeks since, which set forth a Declaration
of Rights. and plan of organization, which
has since been put into operation.
The following is the first article of their
Declaration of Rights"
We, the undersigned, citizens of the Uni
ted States, inhabitants of Kanzas, and set
tiers of the town of Hyatt, in convention as
sembled, do hereby organize ourselves into
a legal corporate community, subject 10 laws
of our own making, and to such laws as may
from time to time be enacted by representa-
tiyes of our own choice, and to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, and to such laws
of the General Government as are In accor-
dance Herewith. Holding fast to the ira
dition of our fathers In respect to human
rights, we receive these truths as self-evi-
dent, "that all men are born free and equal;
that they are endowed by their creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty and hepursuit of happiness;
that to secure these, governments are insti-
tuted among men, dertving their iast POWERS
FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED; that
whenever any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends" (orany commu-
nifty is without government, stit is the right
of the people to alter or abolish il, or s.to
institute a new government, laying Its foun-
dation on such principles, and organizing
its powers in such form as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their safety and
happiness.
Their right to take this step none viii
question, and the fact itself speaks volumes
for the sentiments. of the people in regard to
their Willingness to support a government of
their osen independent of the Territorial an
thorities. Had The first legislature elected
under the Topeka Constitution, performed
well and faithfully their duties, by compile
ting the organizations of the State Govern
ment, it would to-day be the sigzng govern
nent-the government of the peopls-re-
sponsible to them, and them alone, for It's
acts. HSwould have been powerful TO pro-
tect the people against fraud or violence, and
a shadow of the Territorial Government
would not have remained to curse the people
of Kanzas BY its presence.
