What arc the evidence that it is so? It is
made by a Convention, lo be sure, called
under the authority of an act of the Legis-lature
ol Kansas, 'it is made by delegates
regularly elected by liic people, andnrtfifl
facie it would appear that it had the sanc-tion
of the peuple of Kansas: but 1 think
there are evidences of a higher character
to show that it i-« not so, that it is but in
appearance a Constitutun, and not in re-in
the first place, the laet 'u established
beyond all controversy that an overwhel-ming
majority of the people of Kansas are

Fulled States. Guv. Walker and Secretary
Stanton, both assure us of thai fact upon
their personal knowledge. That is high
evidence to establish the fact that it W
against the will of an overwhelming majori-ty
of the people upon who'll it is to be
imposed as a Constiwaion.

Not at all. You must avoid that
as far as you can. In this case it has not

President Calhoun, No objection can bo

Tb* result shows that it was neces-sary
and proper. The result shows that
notwithstanding the vote of six thousand,
though all real, here were ten thousand who
were opposed to it. I say, therefore, this
is not the Constitution of the people of
Kansas. It may in a certain sense be a
Constitution offered by the Convention of
people of Kansas, but which the people of
Kansas by ten thousand majority have re-ieeted—
have la'vfully rejected in the last
vote, as il was lawfully approved by the
six thousand first voting in the proceeding
