The Message Of President Buchanan, presenting
TO Congress the Lecompton Constitution and urging
the admission of Kansas az Slave State under and
by virtue Of that instrument, will be read with
grave and anxious interest. Let not its length
deter any one from perusing it.
So monstrOus a compendium of falacies and mis-.
statements-of suppression aud misrepresentation
has seldom been imposed on a loDg-suGerng pub
lie. Beginning with the deliberate, intentional
fraud of suppressng the whole domestic history of
Kansas prior to the assembling of the first Topeka
Convention, it leaves those who rely upOni III utter
darkness and confusion as to the very pivot of all
this Kansas controversy. The rational but ill
informed reader of this Message seeing so much
said in If OF rebellion, revolutionary government,
resistance to the laws, &C., must inevitably ask,
"Why was this Topeka organization effected
Why did the People of Kansas refuse to recog-
nze and respect her earlier Territorial Legisla-
lures! Why did they refuse TO vote at certain
Territorial Electonsl' Our readers, with
most Republicans, will readily answer" Because
the Territorial Government was usurped by invad-
ing violence and fraud at the first Legislative Elec-
tion in March, 1855; and because the Government,
pression iniquty and wholesale fraud, such as
slaves only could be expected to endure" The
Government thus seized and perverted was neces-
sarily repudiated and defed by the great mass
of the People of Kansas, whose Right of
Suffrage it crippled by unconstitutional Test
Oaths and by Election Laws framed to facili-
tate and give impunity to fraud. The Topeka
Convention, Constitution and Government We're
simply solemn appeal to Congress by the great
mass of the People of Kansas from the slaveholdng
conspiracy, invasion and fraud whereby their most
precious rights had been wrested from and turned
against them. The President knows these facts,
yet he wilfuly snppresses and ignores them pro-
ceediDg in their absence to heap accusation after
accusation, wrong after wrong, on the Free-State
men of Kansas, whose whole history he diStorts,
and whose every motive he msstates and calum-
mates most wickedly. From the gigantic false
hood by suppression with which it sets out to the
snuf1ng cant with which it concludes, all is sys-
tematic imposture, perverson and yillainy
We have neither time nor space to expose this
atrocious document in detail. Its labored citation

Presidents plant tool-its tosome sOphstry de-
signed to prove that the fraudulent rule of small
minority, upheld by batteries and dragons, is
Popular SOvereignty-its prepOsterous assumption
that the admission of Kansas 40 Slave State will
suppress "agitation" and locslize the Slavery
issue--ts attempts to show that fastening the Le-
compton Constitution on an indignant, outraged
People, is the shortest way to enable them TO rid
themselves of its yoke-in short, every feature of
this Message-stamp it an elaboration of imposture
and iniquity such as no false prophet ever con,
cocted. Our columns show how it was received
in Congress--it must awaken a still wider and
deeper indignation among the People.
