and Lecompte retained as Caief Justice, though
Pierce tried to remove him, and actually nominated
a successor to replace him. As to troops bu'

Pierce had, with more on the way; ana whereas
the Federal commanders last year did sometimes
show their teeth at the invading, ravaglDg R1hah''

finally, Mr.. Buchanan has issued, in reply to very
temperate ard proper memorial OF ceftaiu Eae.o'n
cerpynen in behalf Of the Free'State men Oh Nan
,as manifesto which is surpassed in no bad CHAR
ecterstic but length by Pierce's Special Message
Or Proclamation Of the winter OF 35-6.
Mr.. Buchanan insultingly advises the memorial
i.ts 10 make Themselves familiar with the essential
facts with regard to the troubles in Kansas, when
not only is il clear that they already understand
these facts but that he is not willing to confront
those which are well known 70 him. The WAL
the controlling fact in the case, is the Suppression
Of the voice of Kansas in her election OF March ~,
lS55, by conspiracy in and armed INVASION rom
the ueiphboring State Such suppression Is d.
rectlv affirmed in the memorial, and reference
nade 10 the official documents by which IT is demon
sirsted beyond cavil And if this IS fact-lf the
claws of Ka1sas" which Mr. Buchanan Is encrc-
ing on her people ) tie sabers snd bayonets OF
half the FEDERAL arm are indeed no laws. but re-
ally frauds and impOstures, originating not with
settlers Of Kansas, but with invaders from MID
soufi-is it not horrible wrong to be holding
Kansas in subectiOn to those laws 10 spite of her
PRAYERS and her struggles? But this vital, this
controlling question, Mr.. Buchanan skaks ami
eyades He cannot 90 back to consider what was
dore in KaDpas, or by whom, in March, 1853; hs
can look that way no further than March a. 1851.
Then be was iuaugurated President, and found the
bogus Government in full operation, and be cannot
travel back TO consider the rightfuness of its origin
This is Tyranny's Oldest dodge. Every gigantic
yilainy is hoary with prescription covers itself
with moss-pleads " eStoppel' INSISTS that you
sbsll take things as you fed them. When Con-
gress was urged to probe the iniqusy of that Kan
sas Territorial election, we had all this ground
pettifcgeed over day after day. Yet the House
ordered an investigation nevertheless; and, on the
strength Of its result, elected Whitfield from
sea, 5s delegate. True, be did just squeeze IN
again at the last Session. but not til! after he mad
been once rejected, aud by the birest maj )rty-a
majority made up Of two or three Pennsylvania
Men beIs who turned their backs themselves
because Of Sl.yery's triumph in NJ. Bachauan's
election. They based their treachery on Mr. Bu-
cbanan's success, and now ne iustfes bis leagus
with the oppress0rs Of Kansas by referring to the
fruits Of their tieacbCry. Mr.. Buchanan found
Kan sas in this condition he will not inquire how
it came set is enough for him that it ia sO-and
he seeks to throw the responsibility on Congress
Yet to DO this be is driven to material suppressons
which have the effect of direct filsfcatiOns. The
popular branch of Congress tried earnestly and
repeatedly to lift the heavy yoke of oppression of
the neck Of Kansas. Even after the Republicans
were beaten in Tie Nation, and when there was at
least ten majority against them in the House, they
parsed, BY nearly twenty majority, bill s6oiiih'ng
the Border Rattan Legislature and all its works,
aid crdeIirg new ard carefully guarded election
to replace it by authorities realy chosen by the
People Of Kansas. This bill did not become law,
simply because Mr.. Buchanan'e partissns in the
Senate would not let it, Had James Buchanan him
self simply saij, dc sire the passage of that BILL
" 10 order that the troubles in Kansas may be set
&" tlcd by a fair appeal to her own citizens and
backed his words by lis works, all the troubles in
Kansas would ere this have been eGdel. Yetn,w
lie makes tie refusal of lis partisans in Congress
to do that act of necessary justice conclusive rca-
son Why justice should not he done
After this bill bad failed the House refused re-
peattdl to mske appropriations for the payment
Of the Legislature Of Kansas simply because the
majority knew the assumption of authority by that
Legislature to be wicked oppressive usurpatoD.
TIE Senate refused to pass tie appropriation bill
without this item: go finally, after repeated dis
agreements and conferences, the House gave way
and let this pass By one or two majority. Aud this
is the basis of the Presdents assertion that " Con
"sress lad recognized this Legislature in different
"forIos and by different enactments." That must
have been a low school Of pettlt'ggng from which
our Chief Magistrate graduated.
Throughout this manifesto The people of Kansas
are accounted nothing; their rights, their feelings,
their liberties nOthng-ihe usurping Government
