¢ KANgAB.~The public were inform6d, a few d?a‘ since, that the Kansas Legislature bad changed its place of eeting from Pawiee. village to Shawmec maission. - Governor. Reeder, if secms, dissents from the usurpation of powcr in. the' case in pg)i'ms and refuses tomibet that ineendiary body at its new lubitation, or to recognise its action as of legal authority. - . : | y o \%’ere we the Governor of Kansas, Backed by the Administration, 'we would treat that body of pretenders much. as the long Parliament was treatad by Cromwell, and*subject the outlaw leader to. a- test similar to that hmposed on tha weak and unfortunate Charles e First. In other words, as beheading is out of fashion, we would luuig..{ that fellow Stringfellow,. to.the first tree that presented the proper convenienae for a little episode of this peculiar eharacter.”- i :

Of course lam not rosponsible forthe persoralities of this: editorial, and need not make thomy my own; nor wortdi E vouch for its eoeire truthfulness, Ohe erroris manifest. It speaks of Governor Recder as being backed by the Administration, whereas he was simply backed out by it. But to return: I have shown that there werg but two possible legislative bodies to whom the people of Kansas. owed allegiance; Cengress being one and the other @ Ferritorial legislature of their own freechoice. - Congressional enacticents they have not resisted; a Legislature of their own choosing. they never had, prior to. the one which has but recently. adjourned.. . Thus is-the alleged Jey-note of. the message dispoesed’of. The authority of the Federal afficials. has been respected, even whaile those same officials. have joined with the oppressors of Kansas, in attempting to subjugate its people; - Only the power of those pretended officials, thrust upor them in shameless violation of their pledgcd rights, have the people of Kansas denied.. -~ That this has been their “consistend course, is | more manifest in view. of the fact that the first Legislature of their own. choiee has been respected by them, as'a legitimate Legislature should' be and in view of the further fact that all the Democratic’ (Governors, save one, who have ‘been sent te that Territory; and rwho went there breathing - threatenings and slaughter agasnss these same Free State wen, speedily became such ardent symnathizens with them: that they were no longer fit repositories of Exesutiwe confidence.” Like Saul, of olden time, they haye all . been suddenly and marvelously converted. - Only thus far, lowever;does the comparison hold good. Diving Pewer struck Sown_.th‘e perseeuting Jew; that he might be ‘converted; Kxecutive power ‘struck down ‘these Governors: bezause of their conversion. It is toue: that acts of violenec have Leén ‘committed by the free-State men 1 Kansas, for which. thore is no-apolo-gy save thé aggragation of lnwlessitess under color of law, that pté’ébked thenn And yet the President, as I have said, utterty ignores. all - these insulfs'and provocations, though. they constitute a catalogue of cvime suelt as hay diberac: ed o other civilized fand in the nineteenth century.

He was answered very briefly by Judge Mather for the State, remarking that the purlicus of every city furnished. material for swearing against the char--acter of eyery eficient detectiveofficer. It was also stated that Mr. Armstrong bore letters of recommendation from Jacob M.
