EurN1Nc SESSION

| EVENING SESSION.
Mr.. W. F. NJ. Army spoke in substance
as follows:
MR. PREsIDENT-When first heard the
resolutions read l should have voted in IA
vor of the one reported by the committee,
but since hearing the discussion that has Ia
ken place, am convinced that the leaders
are behind the people. Aetion, not talk, is
Fvssat we Hant. look upon this whole
question as very serious one. The people
of the District which have the honor, in
part, to represent, have been left without
even bogus law, and from the tenor of most
of the speeches delivered here this afternoon,
it is quite probable that we shall be left with
out laws or organization by the Free State
Legislature also.
I At this point the President announced
that message had been received by him
stating that Gov. Walker would speak in front
of the Garvey House In few minutes
This announcement was received with Kisses
and cries of Shameful attempt to break up
this meeting;" ''hear Army" ''to the devil
with Walker &c. The President reques-
ted the messenger to inform Gov. Walker
that this meeting would remain in session
until its business was finished, regardless of
his speaking.
Order being restored, Mr.. Army continued:
Zone of the speakers said that the peo-
pie of Kanzas loved the Topeka Constitu-
lion. But if know the spirit of the peo-
pie Alright, they viii go into another arrange
ment soon if something is not done under
the Topeka Government. In that portion
of Kanzas known as Anderson county, tie
people have already been forced TO organ
ize for their own protection. Gov. Walker
las recognized this organization as lawful,
without, however, intending to do SO, by a
letter addressed 10 one of its officers. The
people IN the southern counties viii take hold
of this or something else to prevent being
forced into the bogus courts. In view of
these facts the duty of the Legislature is
Fery plain. l want to see some measure
carried out that win meet the wants of the
naople-''
Amid cries of question" Gen. LANE
arose to state that there was one point, and a
sery important one, too, which he had for
gotten to mention in his speech, and that
was that some parts of the Territory were
not represented at all in this meeting, and it
would be unwise to push matters toextremes
IN view OF this fact.
Judge CoSwAY insisted on his right to
close the debate, which he did in a manner
highly creditable to himself. His remarks
were eloquent with truth, and in ordinary
circumstances would have been as success
full as could have been desired. but those who
had heretofore led the Free State party were
united against it, and when the question was
substitute was lost The original resolution
was then amended by striking out the words
..sce are ddga;aed into tie Union or''.and in
this shape it was passed unanimously.
On motion, il was unanimously
ResoEred, That since the issues of the past
have been sufficient to develop the sterling
principles of every man IN Kanzas, there
fore NE regard any man who sympathises
with our oppressors to the extent that BE
consents to become a delegate to the Lecomp-
hon convention, or a candidate TO the same,
IS unworthy the fellowship or confidence of
Free State men. as1d should be regarded with
suspicion everywhere.
After which the Convention adjourned
