trying lo be in charity with their iieijh
hoia, they take malicioii pl. a-uie in apeak
ing evil alsiut ihem, Thry oUlinately
hut their pyea lo good qnalili,; while
(hey employ uiicro'coprs in discover and
muuify evil one; and afterward liny
torture lauiiagtf to exaggerate what they
hate aecn, so aa to depreciate as much a
possible. They do not, however, always
spi ak nut Milly. But they deal in iimut n-
duet, in hints, and in ominous shake of
the heaj. Instead of frankly assailing lu
fnini, they assassinate behind the back.
Practically, they piTsuadu oilier that all
men aie so evil, that there i not even a
chance uf reform. Even in acts iiiciintcst-
ibly g'KiJ. they pretend to find latent self
ii-lines. They spend their live in defiling
human nature, like Ihe foul Yahoo whom
I lio satinet ha depicted. To believe (bum,
there are ii. ilm virtuous but iheiualves; all
the real of lliankiad being kiluvcs, bmtes,
or devils.
Tim proverbial fault finder lilt lo thinks
that, in crnsuiiiig so maliciously and indiu
criininaiely. he is only puiiuing hi own
pnilrnil. Il ia a secret consciousness of
his d.-merits, a gnawiiii; tnge nt the snpe-
riority uf others, which ia the real cause of

mirror from which ha describes mankind.

I'he great type uf all mauhntid, w hose per

" publicans and sinners." It is to hi pre.
cep's that we ewe ihe great d.ic'rine of hu
man brotherhood. In the ideal of iho fall
Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, the in
curnati'in of malice, hate, shindcr, ill. will
mid all evil speaking. As ilm one ia said
to have come to bring " ponce and good
w ill toward men," no the other first defiled
the fair creation with irif , and sowed "war
among the ho-ta of heaven." We never
lira r a piofeased mull finder, hut eur
ihnnghls recur lo hia typrt. We never
listen lo the beneficent lutieuago of one
who is in charity with hia race, without
feeling that he is advancing more and more
to "the p.-rf. et man."

iiiiisjuiidi'd confidence in the firmness and
faithfulness wjih which ho would adhere to
the line of policy deliberately Agreed upon
between Idin, his whole Cabinet, nml Gov.
Walker.
On my arrival In the Territory in April
lul. in adianceof Gov. Walker, I confess
hat I had an imperfect knowledge of ilm
real condition of alLirs. I supposed the
question of slavery to be the only cause nf
dissension and dillicully among the people;
and, in my brief inaugural address un llie
I7ih of April, treated this a the chief
subject of difference upon which a stihuus
siun lo the people w0uld bo likely to be de.
mantled. soon found, however, that ibis
view wa altogether loo limited, and did
not reach the Iruo ground of controversy.
The great mas of tho inhabitant f the
Tinimry were dissatisfied with tho local
government, and earnestly denied the va
lidity of the existing law. Asserting that
ilia previous Legislatures had been forced
upon them by tin. fraud and violence of a
neighboring people, ihey proclaimed their
dclerminalion nevpr to submit lo the en
actment of legislative bodies thus believed
to be illegitimate and nut entitled lo obedi
ence.
Tb! waa tho condition of thinj-s when
Gov. Walker came lo the Teriitory in the
bitter pait of May. It was ovident lliat
the just policy of permitting the people lo
regula'r their ow n iifiiiira could not he sue
oeafuly carried mil, unless llicy could be
inspired with cnnfiib nco in the agents of
Government through whom thin rrsull was
to ho ellected. If a mere minority of the
people had b -en thus dissatisfied and Con
tumaci'iiis, i hey might possibly have been
pronounced fuciioiis and treated aa disturb
ers of Ilm peace; but when tho dissatisfac
tion wa general, comprising almost the
whole people, a more respectful considera
tion waa indiapetisuble lo it peaceable ad.
justiiient. It was evident thai tho policy
of repression rigid attempt to enforoj
aiibmisnion without an efi'ori al conciliation,
would iuevl iddy result in a renewal of
Ihe civil war. With commendable anxiety
lo avoid this couliiii'i.icv. Gov. Walker re.
pi! to go among the people, t0 listen to
their complaints, to give them assurance of
a fair and just administration of the Tcr.
ritoiiai Government, mid lo induce them, if
pos-.iblo, te abandon their hostility, and to
enter upon the pcinuful but decisive strug
gle, of lint ballot box. I was often with the
Governor when he addressed tho people,
and I'uvt) inv best i (Torts in aid of the irreat
o
purpose of conciliation.
Il was loo l.ilo lo induce I ho penplo to go
into the June election for delegates to the
Convention, The rt gislialion required by
law hud been impeifict in all l ho counties,
ami bail been wholly omitted in one half of
ihem ; nor could (ho oroide of these dis-
franchized comities vote in any adjacent
county, na has been falsely suggested. In
uch of ihem n subsequently look a census
or registry of their ow n, the delegates cho
sen were not admitted to scats in the Con
vention. Nrvi rlheless, it Is not ta be de
nied that the great central fact, which con
liolled thu whole cse, wa Ihe utter wont
nf confidence by the people in tho whole
machinery of the Territorial Government.
They iillegul tliut the local officers, in all
instances, were unscrupulous partisans, who
had previously defrauded them in the elec
tions, ntidwho were ready to repeat the
same outiagea again ; that, even if intru
ders from abroad should not be permitted
to ovorpowvr them, they would be cheated
by fa!s ret urns, which it would not be possible-
for tha Governor and Secretary to da
feat. Allhoii'jli at that time these njipre.
Iii-miniis seemed lo me lo be preposterous
ami unfounded, il was impossible to deny
the earnestness and sincerity wilh which
they wem urged, or tu duubl they were the
resitllof deep convictions, having their ori
tin in seme previous experience of that na
lure.
The worst portion of the small minority
in Kansas, who had poessioa of the Ter.
rilnrinl organization, loudly and bitterly
complained of Gov, Walker's policy of re.
pr.-ssion. And when, under the solemn as
urancr given I hat tha elections should be
fairly eoduo4, aod no frauds waicli

cu, n Hch bo tountenanced or lolcrnted, '
il hail become apparent thai ihe ma of
ihe penplo were prepared and determined .
tn psiliripste in the Oclubrr eleclian, ihe '
minority endeavored o defeat the result by '
leiiving ihe lax qnaltfiiatiun for electors, j
which had been repealed by the previous ,
Legislature. Opinion were obtained from ,
high legal sources, the effect of which, has)
hey prevailed, would have been lo exclude '
the ma of the people from voting, to re.
lain the control in Ihe hands of the minor!. ,
iy, and a a consequence m keep up ngita ,
lion and to render civil war inevitable.
Hut the intrepid resolution of GoV. Walker, '
in spite of fierce opposition and denuncia
tion far and nvar, carriej him through this
dangerous crisis, and he bad lbs proud sl ,
isfcriinof having achieved a peai-t ful trl- 1
timph, by inducing the people lo submit to
lb arbitrament of the bdlot-box.
Iu the minority w orn determined not to ;
submit In defeat. The lionuloui county of t
Douglas had been attached lo ihe border '
county of Johnson, with a large and con :
rolling representation iu the Legislature.
I'he celebrated Oxfoidftaud was perpetra-
ten w ith a view to obtain majorities in both
Houses of Assembly. When these returns '
were received at my office, in Gov. Wel- '
kt-r's ubaunce, I had fully dele'minrd nut
to give certificates based upou ihem. If
they had been so formal and cornel as to 1
t.-ive made ii my duty lo certify ihem, I
would bate resi.'iu d my ollice in order to
testily my anise of the enormity of tho .
wrong. Gov. Walker, at Leavenworth, '
hud formed the sunn; resolution, ashe stated
n me and tosiverul o'her. and we were
both gratified thai we found the papers so
impel fret as to make it our duty to reject
llieni. Great excitement followed in iho'
Territory. The. minority, thus righteously
defeated in tho fibrt tu prolong their power,
became fierce in opposition and resorted to
every means nf intimidation. Uul I am led '
lo belirve that ihey found their most iffro
tual menus uf operation by undermining us
wi'.h the administratis)! at Washington.
The Constitutional Convention, which
had adjourned over until after the October '
lection, nictation in Lecomptuiitu resume
ila Ihbots. Many of tha members uf that '
body were bitterly hostile loihe Guvernur
mid Secretary, on accouul uf their rejeciiwu
of the Oxi'ord nml MeCoe frauds, in which ,
soiuo uf the mam'icia uud ullicrrs uf the .
Convention bud a direct pa'tii-ipaiion. In

in the Terriiory, und were folly imbuvd
with the same spirit ami designs. Il was
obviously not tin irdcaite lo secure the real
pcoplu uf Kansas tho control of their own
att'.iiis. In the constitution suoo afterwards
adopted ill. y etidviavoied lo supersede tho
Legislature which had been elected by tho
people, by providing, in iho second section
nf'lhdstlicduli!, tliut "all laws now of force
in I ho Territory shall coutinuu to be ul' force
until tillered, amended, or repealed by a
Legislalaro under the provision ul this
Cousliiilliun," Tlir-y provided still more
flKcluiilly, us thry supposed, for the per.
peiiiaiion of their minority government, by
ailepiiiig the Oxlord fraud aa the bus uf
their appoitiuiimeiil, giving a great prepon
derance of represent ut ion to l he counties on
the Missouri bonier, and allbrdiug, at the
s.-iuiu line', every possible facility for the in :
lioiluctiun of apiiiious votes, The l'iei
dent of the Coiivrmiou was clothed wild un. ,
limited power in conducting ibe elec'ious
und receiving the returns, w bile the officer
are tint required lo lake the usual oath ta
secuie fair and honest dealing. The
rleuiiotis were hurried on in mid. w inter .
the 2 1st of December and the 4llt of Jan
uary when emigrants could coma ouly
fiom llto immed.ato burders, under ilia
qualification which invited to the ballot-box '
every while mule inhabitant "in Ihe 2'er
ritory on I lull iltiy." The snmo ltn.ii who
did litis had previously denounced Gov
ernor Walker for the suggestion in his in-'
augural address, und in bis Trqu ka speech,
that the Constitution should he submitted
to all iho imirl Jidc iiihubilaiils, allhougli
he invariably aisled, when Asked for ex
planation, that i-ume reasonable, h-ngih uf,

of thu bona Jitk character of inhabitancy.
Ii was apparent that nil the machinery
had been atlt'ully prepared ror a repetition
of gross fiands, similar lo those which had
been attempted in October; and il was in
view of all these facts, alter the oi'joura

The people were intensely exciled J and it
was the opinion of llie contest men in I ho

:a ore, the elcc'iuii under the Constitution
could nnl have taken ph.cn without collis
ion and blood-bed. I'he mcclin" of tho
legislature diverted the a'lanlioii of ihe
piople from the schemes of violence upon
which ihey were brooding, subs'iiuted the
eici'ement of debate and iiivealigatw-a for
