To BIessrs. Fred. Emory. VIM. G.. Mathi-
as. Daniel Scully, P. Dyer and John W.
Henry.
Gentlemen of the Committee: In reply
to your letter of inquiry. will state that
l was present during the sittings of the Le-
compton Constitutional Convention, and
that many of its members were my warm
personal and political friends. There was
much debate as to the manner of submis-
sion, and also upon the question of nom
submission.
Mr.. Calhoun was the chief leader of the
submissionists, and it was owing to his in-
huence and management that the COnstitu-
ton was submitted in the manner it was
Most of the members. who were regarded
as true to the South, took the ground that
it was not incumbent upon the Convention
to refer the Constitution to the people, and
consequently voted to send the COnstitu-
tiOn direct to Congress, and carried the
proposition by one vote. Upon that night
there was a meeting in Calhoun's office to
devise means to have the question recon-
sidcred. and adopt the plan which they did
afterwards succeed in adopting.
Calhoun was bitterly denounced by many
of the members. and openly charged with
endeayoring to make Kansas a free State,
in violation of the wishes of the party to
which he belonged, and by which he had
been chosen leader. 1t was generally un-
derstOOd, and the information came from
Mr.. Calhoun, that AR Douglas was in IA
vor of the plan which was adopted and
would advocate its passage through Con-
gress; and | have heard some of the men,
bers say that they voted for the plan which
was adopted, because they entertained such
belief. | never saw any letter from Mr..
Douglas to Mr. Calhoun. in which any plan
was suggested for the Convention to pur-
sue; neither did l see a letter from Mr..
Douglas to any one.
Some time after the death of Mr.. Cal
houn, his brother-in law, Oliver Diefendorf
of Leavenworth. stated to Inc that the fam
lily of Mr.. Calhoun were in posse sion of a
letter, or letters, written by Mr.. Douglas
to Calhoun. in which Douglas advised Mr..
Calhoun to pursue the course he did. He
also said to me that he intended to get
possession of the letters and use them as
he saw proper.

you feel. you will not fail to act, remain.

CHILLICOTHE, No, Sept. -. 1860.
Mr.. Fred. Emory, Chairman of Commit
tee-Dear Sir: The letter from yourself
and others, making certain inquiries con-
cernins the course Of Stephen A. Douglas,
in regard to the Lecompton Constitution.
has been received In reply, 1 have to
state:
That l was member Of the Lecompton
Constitutional Convention. There was at
one time majority of its members opposed
to any submission of that instrument to the
people. 1t is useless to 60 into detail Of
the reasons that influenced them. Suffice
it to say, they justified themselves on ground
that the free State men had refused 20 re-
cognize the laws, and they were determin-
ed now. so far as in their power, to get rid
of the Kansas question. A considerable
feeling had gotten up between the anti
submissionists and those in favor Of
submission. About this time, John Cal
houn. President of the Convention. and the
known friend of Mr.. Douglas, declared to
pe and others, that he was authorized to
say. if the slavery clause was submitted,
Mr.. Douglas would sustain our action. He
read from a speech delivered by Mr.. Doug
las, l think, at Springfield, Ill, and also
from letter written by Douglas to John
Calhoun.
The main points of the letter. as 1 now
remember. are substantially as follows
That the free State men of Kansas had re-
fused to vote, denouncing the laws as bo-
gus; and if they continued to refuse TO vote,
even though they had a majority, deserved
to be defeated. That if theConvention would
submit the slavery clause of the Constitu-
ton, which was the bone of contention, it
could be sustained, and the Constitution car
ried through Congress. and he would give it
his support. In this way the Constitution
could not be voted down, and the Demo-
craey and the country would get rid Of the
Kansas question.
That Mr.. Douglas wrote the letter to
Mr.. Calhoun. as above referred to. is GER
tain in my mind. Mr.. Calhoun urged the
reasons of Mr.. Douglas with much earnest
ness. He said it was important to have
the influence of Mr. Douglas His argu-
ments prevailed. Enough of the members
changed to carry the plan of submission as
adopted by the Convention. 1t was owing
mainly-I might say entirely-tO the let
ter of Douglas and the arguments Of Mr..
Calhoun, urged with much force. that the
submission of the slavery clause was final
ly adopted.
l have now given you what came under
my own observation, without any color
ing. | have aimed at a simple narration
of facts as they occurred. Truly yours,

AN APPEAL FOR KANSAS.

Vernon, Oct II. 1850.
MeSSrs. EditarS:-I believe you will
for the sake of the cause in behalf of which
write, kindly permit me to occupy brief
space in your column. whileI address few
words to our Trumbull Co. friends.
You have all heard, and l doubt not,
your hearts, like mine. have been deeply
stirred by tales of the sufferings among
Kansas afflicted children, but while all are
earnest, and heartfelt in their mpathy,
and many would feel even grateful for an
opportunity to render aid. still, know of
nothing, as yet, being done for their relief:
and, day after day, as L have partaken
freely at a bountiful board, that fearful
wall has seemed sounding in my ears, and
| have heen tortured by remembrance of
that poor, perishing people; feeble, suffer-
ing childhood, weary, helpless age, made
truly hopeless by devouring want; mothers,
pale and emaeiated, scarcely enduring more
from the pangs of their own starvation.
than from the horrors of that despair they
feel in looking upon their hungry, weeping
little ones; and anxious fathers, enfeebled,
and almost PROSTATE. moaning, broken
hearted, over their inability to provide
comfort for their distracted households
Only think, whole families finding their
entire subsistence by drinking the milk of
one poor, half starved COW; and even that.
they know will soon fail. while even our
dqgs are tattened by the lavish plenty,
which we carelessly cast from cur doors
l can be silent No longer; but, to-day, L
most earnestly importune you to Immediate
action in their behalf know that no
time should be lost, and will not be if we
but take home to our own hearts, as we
should, the horrors of their situation. One
hour, that We may here spend in our use
less delay, may seem as an age Of agony. to
some among our dying brothers and sisters
there; and, as their new made graves may
tell, it may ts many. bring our intended
succor too LQte.
Our harms and granaries are filed to
overhowing; our soft autumnal air is made
fragrant With the breath of mellow fruits
and ripened grain; and even from the far
down depths of the earth. the cleft roc
are sending forth their rich treasures in
copiOus steams, and surely, from her great
abundance, our dear old Trumbull will
have much to spare, and as her aid was the
first q think, that reached Kansas in the
time of her first great need, it will not be
wanting now. do not hesitate to vouch
for the openhearted generosity of the liber-
al people of my own town, and, ! know,
there is not town or district, that will
not contribute something to the store; some
will bring from the products of their farms
some money for the purchase of provisions;
fathers and mothers will think to spare

REPLY OF JAMES DoxIPHAN.
WESTON. Mo-, Sept. II. 1850.

w EST0N, MO-, sept. II, loOO.
To Messrs. Emory. Matthias and others:
Gents: Your catechism of the 18th is
before me, and in reply will say that l
never saw. at or about the time of which
you speak. any letter from DouglBs to any
one; but at the time when the question
was before the Convention, as to whether
the Constitution should be submitted to
the people or sent directly to Congress, Mr..
Calhoun informed re, together with others,
that he mad authority from Mr. Douglas to
say. that unless the Constitution was sub
mittcd to the people of the Territory it
would have no support in the North, and
had no chance to be adopted.
In answer to your second question, l
state above that Calhoun informed me that
he had received a letter from Mr.. Douglas,
but he never spoke of there being any plan
foreshadowed in it for submission; only
said at the time refer to above. when the
question was submission or non-submissiOn
that Douglas said it would have to 90 to
the people and get their Endorsement, be-
fore it would have any chance in Congress
By way of explanation, l will state that
attended the caucus held with closed doors,
at the office of John Calhoun three nights,
when this momentous question Of plan or
form of submission was canyassed during
those three evenings. l saw no letter from
Mr. Douglas with plan in it, or sugges-
tions of plan, or, indeed, any letter from
Douglas. This plan, if it had been sug-
gested by Mr.. Douglas. certainly coming
from so high an authority, would have been
spoken of at the opening of the meeting
whereas the plan that was finally adopted
by the Convention did not present itself,
l think, till the third evening. Where it
came from know not. perhaps from the
Administration itself; maybe from the fer
tile imagination of the General" When
that proposition was fairly before the eau
Gus left it, and know nothing more of it
until it came up for final adoption, when l
voted against it, and never did indorse it
To the third question. | heard of no pan
of submission from Mr- Douglas. except as
spoken of above, to wit: the Constitution
to the people. Yours, respectfully,
JAS. DONIPHAN.
