TIE Present Temper OF Kansas.

The Territorial Legislature of Kansas,
which has just closed its session, was elect
ed in October last by an Overwhe lining ma.
jority of the popular vote, and if Governor
Walker and Secretary Stanton can be be-.
lieved, they unquestionably represent the
feelings and views Of nine enths Of the
people Of the Territory. This being SO,
the following resolutions which were unan
imously adopted on the very last night of the
session by both branches, are signifcan;
and sugg Of the results which will
follow in Kansas when the Lccompton
Constitution is attempted to be forced upon
them by Congress.
Reselved, By the Legislative ASSEMBLY OF
the Territory Of Kansas, the cosncil C a.
curing,
That we do hereby iJr the Lost time
sslcmIly protest against the admission
Of Kansas into the Union under the
Lecompton Constitution-that we hurl back
with scorn the libelous charge that the
freCmen Of Kansas are q lawless people;
that, relying upon the justice Of our cause,
we do hereby, in behalf Of the people we
represent, so!emnly pledge ourselves to
each other, to our friends in Congress and
in the States, our lives, our fortunes, and
our sacred honor to resist the Lecompton
Constitution and Government by the force
Of arms, il necessary in this perilous
hour Of our history, we appeal to the civil
lized world for the rcctitude of our position,
and call upon the friends Of freedom every
where to array themselves against the last
act Of oppression in the Kansas drama.
Resolved, That the Governor be request.
ed TO Immediately transmit certified copies
Of these resolutions to the President,
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives,
and the President o: the Senate Of the
Congress of the United States, ard to our
member in Congress, and that the same be
presented to both branches of Congress.
Tho closing remarks Of Hon. G. w.
DeitSler, Speaker Of the House, ere equal

when it is remembered that he is one OF the
most conservative and cautious of the Free
State party. He spoke 40 follows:
