are laws in our bogus code, recognized both OE lnI'
and the late Administration which iegah%e auu Ies
late slave property here. Why not their Prov,
sions carried out Simply because our peOpiS ~
those laws were no laws, and should not be enio'eeu
in Kansas. But for this, our Territory would nave
swarmed with slaves. II We consent 10 I'VE j0T "

it, the Free and Slave Safes equal@ed 90 the

rush into rebellion do you " Rebellion Why, met
Sam Walker to-day and he said I've got wrlt OF
"habeas corpus from Cato, for John b. Henderson.
Sam didn't find Henderson, though, and suppose
that was rebellion; but / didn't feel my heart beat

Perkins However TO relieve our sensitive friends,
will say that don't design to go into rebelhon-

to frame a code OF laws by the Topeka Government
to organize townships and counties under Ito
have everything ready for starting at moment no.
tice And then the Lecompton Constitution shall pass
Congress- we expect Gov Charles Robnsontoissue his

Tremendous applause. don't see rebellion IN that,
but do see consistency and manhood. II II Il rebel
lion for to insist right to live under our own
governmental government born of the popular WIN,
baptized in the blood of our martyrs and ndorses by
the peoples votes, then we are ready for It. Ap-
plause. But differ from gentlemen who cal tins
rebellion. II was not rebellion when done by our
brethren in Michigan and California. On, no; mint
was the people exercising the right OF seli-goVern-
ment as won By fathers but we have also the
Territorial Government what shall we do with tatl
II was the distinct understanding at the Conventions
in Topeka and Grasshopper Falls, where we resolved
tbn1 To- nj slp
we did so 10 pave the way for the Peoples Consitu-
ton and Government. But, says one, there are
" some Free-State men opposed to the Topeka Con-
" stitution." | deny it. When we shall pass 1t
through another Constitutional Convention, a. the
Territorial Legislature will provide for, not Free
State man in Kansas viii oppose it. That Convention
needs to SIT but lew day, II may DO nothing per-
That the Topeka Con,tu;iOn is and has been FROM
the day Of it, first submission to the people the Constitution Of
the State Of Kansas"
Our old setters-Our pioneers-need no such action;
but by this all new settlers will be salts
fed and Congress will be either satisfied or stued
Then presume every officer under the Topeka Con-
stitution will have the magnanimity TO resign, and
leave the field open for all Free-State men. 1t il
good Constitution says one; but IT owes u IAN
dred thousand dollars." This is mistake. The
$4,000. Well, That an enormous sum And II there
is any trouble about that, | presume the - old
line Of the party are ready to assume IT. But II
this plan is carried out, why should the Topeka
" Legislature now pass Il code OF laws :! Simply
that If the last emergency dos come, may be ready
at a moments warning 10 redeem our pledge and put
the Government in motion 1t is OF the most import
ance that both Legislatures should act together
should act ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We may present an
broken front to the enemy. The simple fact that in
the Territorial Legislature half the counties of the
Territory are DISTINGUISHED is sufficient that it
should do nothing but repeal the bogus code, or else
should egislate in concert with the Topeka Legsla
ture which represents fairly every locality. Let us
be ready, then, TO put the Peoples Government in
motion let US prepare the vessel trim the sails and
coon Kansas will be safely and triumphanty moored
in the harbor of Freedom Applause.
