THE MONsT ER ANTI-LECNMPTON MEET
| ING.
At National Hall, Market street, last night
was held, in consonance with public announce
ment, meeting of the citizens Of Philadel-
phia to lend their moral support to protest
| against the Lecompton fraud, now arbitrarily
sought by the Administration to be forced
upon the country.
Long before the hour for commencing the
exercises Of the evening. the hall was crowd
| ed by an audience of q character rarely If ev-
| er before seen at political meeting. The
accumulation OF people could be compared
| only to @ swarm OF bees, so closely occupied
| was every foot Of space within the hall.
The meeting was organized by calling to
the chair Mr.. j. w. Forney. who took his
seat amid hearty cheers. A little army Of
Vice Presidents and Secretaries were also
chosen, comprising list of gentlemen, in
cluding many Of the most respectable and dis
tinguished Democratic citizens Of Philadei-
phia.
Upon taking his seat, Mr.. Forney, in ohe-
diepce to the imperative summons, briefly
addressed the audience.
MIR. Forney then announced the resolutions
which were read.
The resolutions were adopted By accluma-
tion.
Governor Walker not having arrived, as
was expected, the Chairman introduced TO the
audience the Hon. Frederick d. Stanton, ex-
Secretary of Kansas. Mr.. Stanton is o re-
markable fine looking person. aud hears
STYLE of double chin and open countenace
that tell Of good digestion and tranquil
con science. Mr. Stanton was cbeered for
about five minutes without cessation, and said
ain the first letter Of instructions sent to
me by the government, when preceded Gov
Walker as acting Governor, 1t was charged
that the sacred right of each individual must
be observed, md that the people of the terri
tory must be left entirely free to decide their
own DESTINY for themselves. In my hand
hold the instructions Of the government-the
dispatches sent to Gov. Walker by the Sec
retary and they explicitly state when o
constitution is submitted to by the people,
they must haze the right Of voting for or
against it.
Throughout the country he found inttlli.
gent people settled upon their farms, good
and peaceful citizens, yet lie saw them dis
trustrul of the government. because they were
excluded by violence and fraud, from partici-
pating in the election Of their legislative off.

At that time he did not know how much
truth there was in oil this. Al that time Gov.
Walker and had the entire control of the
United States army in the terrtory-tbat is
so far as the law permitted the use Of the
troops-and the officers commanding it we're
entirely at our disci cietiop. and nothing but
their presence prevented civil war among
the people They had been defrauded, and
would no longer submit to it,. Governor
Walker and the speaker then went among the
people. and counse!ed them to subat to The
decision of the ballot box. At this, they
laughed in the face Of the Governor; said

ticians, and If Mis- ,ouriuns did not come and
deposit their fraudulent votes, they would
forgs them TO suitthei purposes. Even then
it seems, the Governor and Mr. Stanton were
incredulous, but in numerous addresses to the
people, pledged them that, at the ensuing
election, they should have fair chance to
manage it properly by their own votes.
They assured the people that the conven.
ton when assembled would submit to the
people. They produced their instructions
and pledges made by the President aud as
sured them that in so doing they would be

further, and said that il the constitution was
not submitted to the people, he would join
them it protest against it, und aid in rdding
the people Of on instrument in which they
had no choice.
Not single position, however, was taken
by Gov. Walker that was not promptly, inl-
mediately communicated TO the government
at Washington. And yet in all the CORE
spondence with Geu. Cuss, no word Of reprouf
or dissent occurred in any Of the dispatches.
The speaker would not say that the Presi.
dent pledged his honor that the constitution
should be submitted, but Gov. Walker pied
ged his honor, and the speaker also, that
such should be their course. Fit would be
respectful, the speaker would say to the Pre-
sident that he approved the course Of Gov.

The narrative then proceeded to detail
long history OF the frauds in the taking of the
census of representation in the apportion-
ment Of delegates aud in the manuer in which
the elections were conducted. DE referred
to the 80 counties Of Kansas and the fraud
ulent census which represented but 10; to the
long lists of many hundred voters furnished
from counties containing not one-fourth that
number of inhabitants all told-where for ten
miles OF country together no solitary cabin
appeared upon the prairie.
He then turned to the Presidents message
to Congress, and respectfully pronounced the
President mistaken in what he says respec-
ting the Constitution of Kansas.
He wished he were addressing southern
audience, for many Of the best OF the southern
people, and the most influential and candid Of
the southern press, considered the thing as
great an iniquity as he did.
