Meantime the people all over the country arc
moving in the matter in manner which
strikingly resembles the great uprising against
the Buchanan Administration, when the attempt
was made to defeat the will of the people OF

In several Legislatures which happen
to be in session at this time, resolutions
have been introduced. and in some
cases passed. denouncing In unmeasured terms
the arbitrary interference of the Federal
Administration by means of its armed forces
with the Legislature of sovereign State.
In this city a public meeting has been called.
and the call Is signed by some OF the

patience on the part Of the people, and great
anxiety on the part of the Kellogg managers
and the Administration supporters for some
outbreak on the part of the people. Congress
wrangles, and the Constitution, the laws and
