TIE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER
In conclusion permit ma TO say, with all the serious
pess and ircerity demanded by tie solemny OF the
OCCASION that il Low is and always has been my most
ardent desre az the chief magistrate Of this Territory,
by all lawful and constitutional means TO secure and
protect the 1pst rlgDtS OF every
Of perfornii py sworn duty of supporting the Consh-
tuition of the United States and taking care that the
laws be faithfully executed to see that the great funda.
mental principle which lie at the bs.s Of our American
Institutions, secured by the Federal compact and
guaranteed by our organic act Of Congress- should be
maintained viz: that The people Of Kansas IN the true
meaning of the act rte from all violence, injustice, or
frtign iRferference, should make Meir oon lars and
contrOl their orR' Government. This has been the
eat prir cplethe just and faithful execution OF our
org &c law which has controlled all my sc.s in Kansas,
ard to which shall adhere regardless of menace cal
umDy or aisament either from within or beyond our
limits am made by law the chief executive officer
in Kapss the protection to the extent OF my legal
authority, Of the whole people Of Kansas and no.
part Of every county and district, and not Of
portion Of them only. And however socitous
may be about the result of the present most impor-
tart election, however most anxious that those
views of public policy which have entertained and
expressed at all iimes iom my youth upward to the
present period, and especially as regards the rQCT.
LrBRiUN Of our Government and the constitutional
rights and equality Of the States should now triumph
here in October, yet cannot and will not do any oct,
or counte sustan any act the effect OF which
would be to deprive the people Of Kansas OF anyrshts
secured to them by the federal compact by our organic
act CT by the laws Of this Territory A victory thus
secured by violence or injustice would be worse thsn
defeat and could only in the end destroy ell hope Of
the ultimate success Of conservative principles and
constitutional liberty in Kansas.
