want this done, why not organize under the bogus

Kansas know that usurpation and ITS laws are
dead unless the people recognize them. If they 40

the candid man. and he with whom Inc eiui hgnI s
further. The bogus Legislature incorporated body
Of Trustees to manage the City of Lawrence and
who were these Trustees! Most of them the enc
mics of Lawrence. DIR. Wood, the infamous Pro-
Slavery bogus Judge OF this bogus county, and who
lives at LecomptoD Is one OF them Does any iair
man ask the people Of Lawrence to turn over the
mausc ement Of their affairs to such men Dare
Mr.. buchanan to ssk IT J How many towns In the
West have at different times adopted regulations to
manage their local affairs, without asking the inter
vention OF Legislature, even when they had iair
one How many OF these have been surrounded
by United States army for daring to do SO
There is not there Lever was, design to force
these popular regulations beyond the popular volun-
! tsrv acceptance. Would it not have been time
enough to surround Lawrence with an army when
they did-that IS if such reckless and dangerous
policy is to supersede the action OF the Courts But
Gov Walker goes further; he charges that II 10
design to spread these City Governments all over
the Territory, and thus supersede the Territorial
Government. This is theigreat ohense, In the first
place, Gov Walker is mistaken in his supposltion.
Ire people in other parts Of the Territory need no
such ioducen ents. In the second place. If 1t bad
been true, have yet TO learn that the publication
and diffusion of City Charter, or that arguments
as to the expedency Of such course are
=. treason" and Justify the march of an army on
town, In all this Gov. Walker plainly admits that
the bogus Government is not of the people of Kansas
He says in bis proclamation: O. Governments
formed ON instruction and usurpatOD will be sub
stituted for that established by the authority of
"Congress" and, "If your authority to act in this
manner for the City OF Lawrence is permitted
" similar authority must be acknowledged in every
other town, city, or county," Here is frank
admission that the people of Kansas are hostile
10 the Territorial Government, and WILL II per
mitted," establish local regulations of their own.
On this point Gov Walker now stands convicted OF
desiring 10 force the bogus Territorial Government
down the thrOats of a reluctant people. 1t would
be waste of time to follow and rebuke the special
pleading sophistry and falsehood in the proclama-
lion. Ii speaks for ITSELF He says: 81 will accom-
"pany the troops to Lawrence with view to pre-
vent IF POSSIBLE, any conflict" How absurdly
Inconsistent And again he says If you can be
Influenced by no other motive, the evident fact that
the power of the Government is adequate to prevent
90 the accomplishment of your purpose should IN
50 duce you to desist from these proceedings >
.Hold me or III fight" says the woud-be bully.
The modern Ouixote is in the saddle. Rosinante
groans beneath the weight of such terrible fumlna-
Hons He shakes the spear of Federal authority in
am awful style and makes mouths at the wlndinll
Int the windmill turns round as quietly and syste-
yoaticaly as ever. This is the eliminating farce OF
bogus Democracy. Greytown pales before It,
Where is .sSquatter Sovereignty" :" Oh, ye gods
and little fishes " :,
What will Gov Walker do! Will he lombard
the town, cut his throat, or run away! The sands
of his political life are fast running out. But tor
fine morality of the thing, I would recommend him
to commit suicide In his desperation he may do
sometbipp ridiculous or worse than ridiculous. Let
the pous conseryatOrs of peace pray for him; ne Is
In the breakers. :,
? The President has never fully understood the
Kansas question. ask James Buchanan to read IL
now. Read peoples wrongs in the throbblngs OF
the public pulse. Weigh their constitutional reate
in their fearless assertion Of them. Think OF the
rights the people have to selfgovernment Go back
james Buchanan, to the days when strong, sincere
repubhcansm was unfettered by policy or power.
Blot out the memory of these years OF diplomacy
among people whose civil rights were not fully rec.
opnized, and having swept away the cobwebs that
environ crowns and scepters, think oil the people
"as the legitimate of all government Stand
inc 90 you do, there is but step between heroism
and iniamy. Gov. Walker has taken that step-has
taken it wTongy-will yOul 1t is for yourself, and
for the honor and peace Of the country / appeal.
Ouxote cannot hurt the windmill for it is dead to a
sepse of danger and is impelled by the breezes OF
heaven. Gov. Walker has foOshy wrapped up the
i,sues in this struggle. Why dill Machayel aspire
70 be Hercules "Wbon the gods would destroy
they first make mad, )" and the God of Justice and
Humanity guides with unerring finger the fates in
Kansas. .-.-..-.--
