The Presidents Kansas Message was then Ia
ken up. s.s s4aHt4
Mr. Wilson attacked the Presidents position
stating that the history in the Message was = stu
pendous--a gigantic Misrepresentation Of the
affairs Of Kansas. Ae denied the statement III
the message that there ever had beensa party III
the territory setting defiance the constitution
or the laws ct tile land. lie denounced the Lee
compton constitutions saying that he would
rather have the constitution with slavery than
without il, because Gih slavery it might tie aboi-
ished, but without it, il would be perpetual. II
was perverson Of fact and truth in the Presi
dent or ano body else 20 charge that the pei pie
OF Kansas, by voting for the election OF officers
under the LecomptOn Constitution intended ID
any way to give their sanction to it, They went
to the ballot box on the 4tli Of january 10 beat
out forever that Constitution. They knew that
the people were against it by an ovrr~h enng
majority ef 8 Or q to !. They n,rant TO 10 over
throw Calhoun aud his corrupt MuiOts itl The
Territory, who had violated justice aud stained
their names by frauds, ouira5cs ard murders.
The onl;l way 10 do that Was to elect men
pledged against that constitution. who would
cOlne here, Is they have, 10 ask Congress and
the country to reject it as \ fraud on the people
OF Kansas, and TO act fairly and above boIra.
He proclaimed to the country and the world the
Presidents misrepresentation and mistakes.
