ton, and sending slaves to populate
California, and defending them by
force, it the people there objected !
Now the Senator says that | and those
who act with me are sectionalists.
The Senator makes professions Of de-
votion to the Union. In the very
speech from which I have before quo
ted, the Senator says that
''Our people have been calculating the
value of the Union. tell you candidly we
have calculated the vaule of the Union
Love for the Union will not keep us in the
Union"
The whole tone, temper and senti-
ment look not to the support of the
Union as our fathers made it, but to
the triumph of sectional Southern
policy, to the expansion of slavery, or
to the ultimate overthrow Of the gov
eminent Of this country.
The President, Gov. Walker and the
Washington Union had all promised
to submit the Kansas constitution to
the people. The Ruflians therefore
provided that Calhoun could have the
matter in his hands-a man who
would not only permit the frauds, but,
if necessary, make the frauds himself
He was Just the man to do it; for God
never allowed to walk the green earth
any man who more richly deserves to
die traitors death, and leave trail
tors name, than John Calhoun.
Mr.. Green. Say it to his face.

it goes on the record. have no fear
of the tools of border ruffianism in
Washington or in Kansas. l am able
to take care of myself. l will try to
do so, at any rate. Sir, this John Cal
houn has cheated and defrauded the
people of Kansas out Of their sacred
rights. He has committed a crime
against the liberties of the people
which will associate his name with
the history of Kansas while it shall be
read and remembered by mankind.
Mr.. Wilson alluded to the various
Governors who went to Kansas. Like
the prophets of old who went out Of
Israel, they went out cursing, but
came back blessing them. He would
like to have the President go there,
and he would, no doubt, come back an
honest man, declaring that the people
of Kansas had been much abused and
oppressed. In an examination Of the
election frauds, Mr.. Wilson read a list
of fictitious voters at kickapoo, EN-
bracing the names of Seward, Benton
Fremont, Denver, Greedy and Buchan
an. This caused much laughter.
Mr. Green. How did Mr.. Buchanan
vote?
Mr.. Wilson. He voted for the Con
stitution with slavery. The Senator
need not have taken the trouble to ash
that question.
Mr.. Wilson continued to read a:
follows:
n "Thomas II. Benton appears as the min
hundred and fifteenth voter. And now it wa
dark the polls being kept open till half pas
six O. clock, when, alas for frail humanity, TO
the compunctious visitings of conscience, il
slips Horace Greeley, daughter and stealthil
deposits his ballot as the nine hundred am
, eghtieth voter. 1t is now halfpast six o clock
and the curtain rises on the last act of the DIRE
\
. Edwin Forrest, US the one thousand and twel
!, ty-sixth voter. This is Mr.. Forrest first a
t pearance on a Kansas stage
!, Mr.. Pugh. What is that you al
y = reading?
Mr.. Wilson. 1t is an abstract of til
correspondence of the st. Louis Re
publican.
Mr.. Wilson said as to the votes cas-
at the Kickapoo, Maysville, Delawar
Crossing and Oxford, out of 1900, a
> least 1900 were fraudulent. Thes
:, were the votes which carried the 1t
compton Constitution. Were Senator
prepared to sanction an instrumen
based ON such monstrous frauds!
Mr.. Green, in reply, said he woul
never make use of his position to en-
ploy slanderous words against an.
.. citizen of the United States. To max
charges of fraud without proof wa
SANDER and calumny. He deprecate
further debate and desired the messag
to be referred.
Mr.. Wilson said that threats, whetl
er made by voice, tone or menace
by the Senator from Missouri, or b,
any other gentleman, had no terror
for him.
Senators talk about the dangers 0
the country. Great God !! what ar
our dangers =? The danger is tina
there is such power, local, section
al power, that can control this Gov
: eminent, can ride over justice, rid
over wronged people, consummat
glaring and outrageous frauds, an
override and trample down the will {
brave and free people. That is tn
danger. The time has come when tn
freemen of this country, looking t
liberty, to popular right, to justice,
all sections of the country, shoul
overthrow this power and trample
. under their feet forever. The tim
has come when the people should ris
in the majesty Of conscious power, an
hurl from Office and from places of il
huencc the men who thus bow to thi
tyranny.
Senators are anxious about the u
ion. The Senator from Delaware M
