Why, Sir, such facts utre demonstrated"
with regard to the bogus election of March 30
1855, by Congressional Investigation the most
thorough and conclusive that any fraudulent election
ever received The demonstration was whitening
Irresistible; and yet your party, with hardly an
exception, voted To uphold that bogus Legislature
the offspring Of fraud and crime and hare upheld
il and its measures to this day. You are now in
Kansas expressly to give continued vitality aud
efficacy to that very crime which your party is still
stubborDly UNFOLDING. How shall we believe that
it will turn short corner at this point, and treat
the fraudulent election Of June 1851 exactly as 1t
refused to treat the fraudulent election of March,
1857
But You "cannOt doubt that the Convention
now chosen will submit their draft of Constitution
to the 'actual bona fde resident settlers of Kan
"sas" Ne cannot doubt it, either if your party
out of Kansas Will insist on their doing it. The
Pro.Slayery managers in Kansas are not fools; and
they know that they cannot stand alone ten days.
Western Missouri can no longer of itself uphold
them. Kansas has now too large population for
that and they exist by the favor and support of the
National Democracy" alone. If, then your party
in the States simply say to them, - You must sub
nit your Constitution to "a fair vote of the whole
people Of Kansas" they will do it, just as they
repealed the test.oath for voters and so much OF
the Slavery act as made the diffusion Of Anti-Slay-
cry sentiments felony. The obligations of an
oath 90 for nothing in the premises; but their
responsibility to the tribunal of public Opin-
L" ion will impel or check them just as Cass,
Douglas ToCmbs 4 Co. confdentially tell them
that they can go ahead or must stop. We, too,
therefore trust that this bogus Convention, repre-
sentng less than Cne-hrd of the actual settler. of
Kansas, will be compelled at least to seem to
.ubrit its bantlirg to vote of the whole People
Of Kansas; but We believe no trick, no device, no
dodge, will be spared, whereby there is hope of
deriving the earnest Free-State men Of an equal
voice in the premises. In view of this truth, the
virtual threat which Mr.. Walker proceeds to utter,
that
the Convention submit the Constitution TO the vote OF
ell the actual settlers Of Kansas and the election be- fairly and
Justly conducted the Constitution Will &C. ana ought I" %

has tangible, practical value. We shall take care
that the author and his friends are not permitted
to forget it,

WHY. Governor! the People Of Kansas did de-

and adopting the Topeka Free-State Constitution.
Had they only decided it in favor of Slarery, you
and those for whom you act would have insisted as

ton from the halls of Congress as you now in
sist that they shall do SO. Had your National
Democracy " simply agreed to admit Kansas under
that Constitution, all agitation respecting her
would have been at al end. You have rejected her
prayer and kept her under the feet Of the Border
Rufiian usurpers to the imminent peril of our IN

Slavery agitation with its Increasing bitter
