| fore admitted nearly half of them have come in
under constitutions formed without any direct au-
thOrity OF Congress. Amongst these may be
named Tennessee, Michigan Iowa. Texas, Arkan-
sas. Kentucky, Florida, and California. In addi-
ton to this, it may be added that the most prom
inent of those who now urge this objection are es-
topped by their own declarations and admissions.
Governor Walker for ins tance. in his inaugural
address in relation to the right Of the territOr-
iai legislature to call convention, uses this lam
euage:
"But it is said that the convention is not legally
called and that the election will not be freely and
fairly conducted The territorial Legislature is
the power ordained for this purpose by the Con
grcss of the United States, and in opposing it
you resist the authority of the general govern
ment."
And again he says:
"The territorial legislature then, in assembling
this convention, were fully sustained by the act
of Congress-"
Mr.. Stanton expresses similar sentiments in
that part of his inaugural address before quoted
Judge Douglas, in his Springfield speech. also
quoted does not intimate that he then thought
there was any necessity for an enabling act
Moreover, his position on the admission OF Cali
forpia is we'll known. In that case constitution
had been sent up formed by convention CALI d

authority, either from Congress any territorial

upon that occasion Judge Douglas said:
II hold that the people of California had a
right to do what they have done, yea, they had n
moral, political, and legal right to do all they
have DONE
How any person could maintain the legality of
tie proceedings in the California case and deny
them in Kansas, or hold that an enabling act by
Congress was necessary in the Kansas case when
it was not necessary in California is Incompetent
siblc to this committee. They dismiss this poin-
without further remark.
! But other objections of different class and
character have been started. These relate to the
fairness of the election of delegates to the consti-
tutional convention. On this head it is said that
quite number of counties. 10 in all, making
more than half of the the counties. in the Terri
tory, were disiranchscd 10y the law of the 18th
February, 1857, and were wholly unrepresentcd in
the convention. BY the statutes of Kansas, as all
can see by reference, there are 81 connties laid
out with names and boundaries in the Territory.
Three of thcse-to wit: Washington, Clay, and
Dckinson-w omitted in the act of the 10th
February creating districts for the election of del
cgates. They lie in the extreme western frontier
of the Territory, as will be seen by the map, and
exist IN inly in law and on paper. They seem
to be destitute of population. without officers or
civil organization The "a organized counties
were all embraced in the act as will be seen in
the 10Th section by that section they are arrang-
ed into election districts. as follows:

voters, which, upon all reasonable probabilities,
must have been within one or two thousand of all
the legal voters at that time in the Territory the
acting governor, as will be from the sa me
exhibit, made an apportionmcnt of representation
according to the provisions of the act. This was
done by dividing the whole number of voters
9,25D by 60, the number of delegates constitu-
ting the convention; and apportionng the dele
gates to the respective counties in districts, as
above set forth, from which registry had been
rennrted The annOrti ionmnnt was as follows.
The Placer herald., 1858-05-01

From this it will be seen that twenty-one G ut of
the thirty-four organized counties were embra-
ced in the apportionmcnt; and the journals of
the convention exhibit No ~ show that all these
were represented in that body. From the same
tricts embracing thirteen counties, were left out
of the apportonment. These were, as will appear
