Mr., C~oLLaaER.-I beg the Senators pardon. J
thought he alluded TO the maj ,rity and minority report
of The Committee on Territories.
Mr.. HUNTIR.-I said the reports nf both parties in
the Legislature OF Kansas proved this fact. The
gentleman will find il 81 stated in this report. But,
Mr.. President, this much lie certain: that the lava
passed for lhe protection Of life and property by that
Legislature, were administered by the courts Of the
land ; that the legal existence of that Legislature
was acknowledged by Congress, and by the President
OF the United Ststes; that it has received the assent
of the people of Kansas, because they have lived
under it's laws, and they have been the only ones
which have been administered for the protection OF
their lives and Of their property. The validity OF the
Legislature lie sustained by a. many esnctions, If We
look to the forms Of law for evidence, as the Legisia.
ture of Virginia or OF Massachusetts.
But suppnae that These gentlemen were right; sup.
pose there were some irreguiari9i in the election OF
this Legislatures; still there is one grent fact which is
indispu,able, and that is, that it WAS the only Go
vernment in Kansas, and tha. IL had all the authority
of a Government dr. fdcto. Now, sir, we know that
all civilized na'iuns and all publicists recognize the
authority Of a Governmental Cacto They recognize
that authority because. as was we'll said by Pre-
sideut Polk, WHEN he declared that the Military Go
vsrnment in California WIS the only Government in
e~xistence; unless you acknowledge such a Govern.
ment you permit anarchy; and civil societies not only
presume against il, but they defend themselves
against anarchy "a animated beings protect them
selves against death. 1t 10 the very necessity of their

factoi and according TO all the prescriptions of socie
~, according TO sl the msxims Of law, Its action
must to be recognised as valid, for there was no
Government in that Terri;ority to dispute It's autho-
rity.
Then, sir. il is action vas valid, it was by law that
II ordered the ssnse of the people to be take in re
gard to a Convention; It was by law that it ordersd
memben to be elected to that Convsntiou; and it is
nothing to say that q majority Of the people Of Kan.
sss, although allowed to do 80, refused to vote at that
election. There 10 nothing In this objection, because
it 10 everywhere admitted that those who do not vote
In q free representative government are bound by
the action of those who do. What is tho right of q
according to those who claim most for Il e.
right of a majority is to determine a question
which is submitted to the vote Of a people for deci.

they are to be elected by popular vote; but that ia
the full extent of all they can claim. A majority have
no right to say that they will refuse to vote, and there.
