REBELLION IIN 1776 AND IN 1856. i -, MONOLUDED: 1 “} - Of one or two of these transactions, vi¢wed in another light than as simple wrongs to persons, I shall have something to'say. ~ As to all, let me jadd that, while such enormities are comparatively trifling, there is a fact conhﬁet—ed with it of the deepest significance; and that is, that all the pcrpet‘rato?s of these atrocious decds are still ‘at large, and unwhipped of justice. Nor 'to this hour has there been an effort, whicle deserves the name, on the part of| the officials of that Territory to bring them to_an account; except one on the jpart of Governor Geary, which was suecessfully thwarted by judicial interference. This fact, sir, ‘constitutes one .of] the great wrongs of which the free-State

men justly complain,& against which,(if' you please to say so) thcy révolt A murder even if the victim be an unoffending cripple, (as was the cage of Buffum,) or if he be scalped b ‘thea haund of a savage, (as- was the eqrlier case of Hoppe,) may be too small amatter to be remnembered or noticed by the President or his Kansas friends; |but, sir, when the officers of: the law become -indifferent to even such t ivial‘ wrongs; when, by the condudt of Governors, marshals, judges, and district attorneys, the community is adventised that such deeds are to go unpunithed, that, siv, is a wrong which he.should not overlook—a wrong to the whole community, which, in one way or another, and in some way at all hazards, ithat community has a right to reaedy.— ‘There ig another fact, deserving notice at this point, During the whole time when these wrongs were being perpetrated, allthe instrumentalitics a,n‘Pj{l-'lﬁa-chinery of justice were in the hands and under the control of what is now the Administration party, They made the Governors, Judges, marshal:#, and ‘nd 5 4 public prosecutors, who pretended to -administer the lawsin that Territory.— With them, during all that time, rested the power of removal ; and there it rests still. At their door, therefore, is| piled up this mountain of unavenged crimes. I commend these facts to the eonsideration of the venerable. President, who so piteously ~exclajms for the3good old days of “reverence for law.”. When he and his advisers shall have purged that Territory, of all officials who overlook or wink at deeds which would disgrace savage haunts, will' it be time to arraign the frecmen of Kansas for doing something to *protect:and defend themselyes. gARE CuRE S e B e

And now, sir, for some .examples of ] your “loyalty ;”’ for you know the message tells us that “the dividing line in Kansas has been between those who are loyal to this government, [the territorial,] and these who have endeavored to destroy its existence by force.”- Who. are meant by the latter class; we have already seen.’ They are designated as the republicans. -Of course the loyalists of the message are those who have opposed these Republicans. = From their ranks, choosing only their burning and shining lights;-my examples shall be seleeted. ~ You shall have, chiefly, specimens of official loyalty and respect for the laws.. I begin with the judiciary, not being confined, however exclusively to judieial acts. fiskip Searching the history of Kansas, we fine 'the chief justice of the Supreme court of that territory an active partici- | pator in a publig meeting held at Leavenworth on ‘the 30th of April 1855; which meeting passed an order that “all persons who should, by the expression of abolition sentiments, produce disturbance to the quiet of the citizens;, or danger to their domestic institutions, should be notified, and made to leave the " territory.” The Kansas Herald, an" Administration organ, tells us ' thag “the meeting was ably and ‘eloquently addressed by Judge Lecompte,” and that its doings werc harmorfious. They appointed a committee of ten to carry out their orders. - How faithfully that committee endeavored to obey their instructions, one William Phillips can testify, I mistake, sir; once he could | have testified, but I remember now hé was aftorwards shot dofm in_ his own | houseby aband of “law and order men,” | under comniand of one who is now an | office-holder under the present ot Adminisbration. But this is a digression.— e e | enge for law ‘on the part of a judieial

functionary, and not to trdce its consequences. . b This was no judicial act; but bere is one that was. It is the charge of Chicf Justice Lecompte to the grand jury of his Court delivered on the sth day of May, 1856. 'lt has been cited in this body before my worthy colleague [Mr. Colfax,] and itiay be found in the National Intelligencer for June 5, 1856 The Judge says: i 5 “ (Gentlemen, you are assembled to. consider whatever infringements of law may come under your notice, and bring in bills as your judgement may dictate against these whom you may find guilty ot such infringements.” * * ¥ “You will take into cdnsideration ‘the cases of men who-are dubbed “(tovernors, Licutenant Governors, Secretaries and treasurers, within this Territory, and’ will £nd- hills in accordance with the following instructions. 5 - “This territory was organized by an act of Congress, and so far; its authority is from the United States. It has a Legislature, elected in pﬁlrsﬁance of that organic act. This Legislature being an ‘instrument .of - Congress by which ‘it governs the Territory, has passed laws. These laws, therefore, are of United States authority and making, and all that resist these laws resist the power and authority of the United States, and are threfore guilty of high treason. :

“ Now, gentlemen, if you find that any persons have resisted these laws, then you must under your oaths find bills against such persons for high treason. If you find that no such resistance has been made, but that combinations have been formed for the purpese of resisting them, and -individuals of influence and notoriety have been aiding and abetting in such combinations then still must you find bills for constructive treason, as the courts have decided that to constitute treason, the blow need not be struck, but only the intention be made evident.” '

~ Sir; since the day when the infamous Jefireys sent - Algernon Sidney to the block for cd&snrucﬁ"ﬂ*q treason, so monstrous a doctrine .as this charge enunciated, has not emanated from the bench of any ' chifistian countty—a doctrine whicn would have ‘mide any man who who resisted a tax-gatherer in Kansas guilty of high treason! - Nay,more and worse, which declared that nes-the act, but the intent to do the dct, eshstituted the ¢rime! WeMnll know the result.— Scores of frée State men were indicted arrested and confined in jail. = Judge Lecompte for months refusing every offer of baif. Plenty of officers could be found to arrest and incarcerate such men on the shortest notice. |, This was done on allezed indictments, which a Democratic Senator and able lawyer, [Mr. Pugh ] pronounced defective, in buth substance and form. ~And while this solemn mockery was going -on, boasting assassins,with the blood stains yet on their hands, went at large and Undistebed - ¢ T

_This calls up another judicial remi: niscense. It begins with one of the chivalric deeds of the Kickapoo Rangers, on the 15th Scptember 1856,which I must vead ad it is narrated in the ~‘History of Gov. Geary’s Administration in Kansas,” prepared by his pric vate Seeretary Dr. John H. Gihon. I read from the 167 page of that work: “Six men of this detachment (Kickapoo - Rangers,) - .when within a few miles of fiecomijton_ halted by a field ‘where a ‘poor-inoffensive, lame maa, named David C. Buffum, was at work. They entered the field, and after robbing him of his horses, one of them shot him in_the abdomen, from ‘which wound he ‘soon after died. The murderer also carried away. a pony belonging to a young-girl, the. daughter of a Mr. Thom residing in the neighborhgod. Klotost s imes eßes g i

sionr of this wanton crime. Gov. Geary, agcompanied by Judge Cato, arrived oh the spot and found the wounded i weltering in. his blood. Although suffering the most intense agony, he was, sensible of his condition” and perfectly mindful of the circumstances that had transpired. . Writhing in agony, the cold sweat-drops standing upon his forehead, with his expiring breath he exclaiimed, ‘Oh, this was a most unprovoked horrid murder! They asked+ie for my horses, and I plead with them not to take them. I told them I wasacripple, a poor lame man, that T had an aged father, a’ deaf and dumb brother, and two sisters, all depending upon me for a living and my 'horseqi‘jgei'e all that T.dfad with which to procure it. - One of them said I was a God d—d abolitionist afld seizing me by the shoulder with: one hand, he shot me with a pistol that: he held jn the other. I‘mii"'dl;ing'; but my blood will ery unto Heauen for vems geance, and thig hoprible deed will not go_unpunished.’ ”Qr Xt o “The Governor was affected to tears.. He had been on ma,n}y"#-ba.'tﬁé‘ﬁelg, and was fumiliar with suffering and death, but says he, ‘T nover fitnessed a scone ror.” There was a peculiar significance in the losks and words of that dying. B e R TR an, that Loy iR fugel, or g

till I brought that murderer to justice,; | and I resolved that no means in my power should be spared to discover, arrest, and punish the author of that most vil--lainous butehery.” e

‘The Governor went to work in earnest. He cansed process to be issued and offered a_large reward on his own aceount, for the arrest of the murderer. The result was, the guilty man was discovered, arrested, indicted for murder in the first degree, and committed to await his trial. e&?["hd proof on which he was committed, says this same work “ clearly and positively established thathe left the ranks and. was gone long ‘enough to commiit the crimes allegtd % that he was seen to take Buffum by the ghoulder with one hand and shoot qim' with the other, calling him a God d—d Abolitionist, and that he was in possession of the stolen horses.”” ' What afterwasds became of im shail appear from a digpatch of Colonel H. T. Titqq)to, Gov: Geary, which Twillvesd. . || - Lecompton, Nov. 21 ’56; Sir: I have the honor to state ﬁmt during your reeent absence from this place, a writ of habeas corpus, issued by Chief Justice Lecompte, was served on me, by which- I was commanded|to produce the body of Charles Hays; before him, with -t{;e ‘cause of his detajner, - That-in obedience to the wrif I caused the body of Hays to be produced before Judge Lecompte, and returned as the cause ef his detention,the finding by the grand jury of a true bill |of’ indictment against him for murder|in the first degree, committed upon the person of David C. Buffam; together ‘with your warrant commanding the re-‘arrest-of said Hays, and his detentipn iunt;il his -diseharge by a jur};l of| his. eountry, according to law. I have fyrther to state that Judge Locompte dis'charged the said Hays, from my custody, notwithstanding my return, apd tiag=he is now at large. e . I have the honor to be your | : . - obedient servant, | H.T. TITUS. His Excellency JOHN W. GEARY, Goaernor of Kansas Territory,

What a sublime spcetacle of “rever- | ence for law!” I would do this fujetionary no injustice. - He had once before discharged this culprit on habdas corpus. -1 know his explanation. = Not a witness on behalf of the prosecutipn was present at the . examination. The judge was particular to have them “cglled,” but being forty miles away, they did not happen to hear. Witnesges | were -examined for the prisoner ito prove alibi—the stereotyped defensejof’ villaing everywhere—and the distrjct attorney consenting thereto, Hays jas discharged on bail! But I have nothing to do with the judge. My busingss is with the HExecutive; -to show hjm how justice is administered in Kangas by men who hold their offices at his. will, and can be remeved wheneyer he says the word. Remember, too, that T am not now complaining of the myr‘der of Buffum Etit of - that greafer wrong done to community, when the criminal was . discharged unpunished ‘land untried, by the very tribunal‘which should have exerted itself, as a matger of justice, to send him to the gallows. As specimen chapters from the judicial history of Kansas, these must suffice. If we look, now tc the acts|of ministerial officers in that territory, we shall find that they were sometimes marvelously thorough. I have before me two accounts of one transaction, st kingly illustrative of the zeal with whjch they proved their loyalty and reverence for law. - These ‘accounts I may ppblish, though they are to long to |be read now. They are from the Lecompton Union and St. Louis Republican, both then, administration organs, andgave the Democratic version of what is known among the rebels as the “sackjng of Lawrence,” on the 29th of May, [1‘856. S e CRIEE b

You may remember, Mr. Chairman, the outiines-ef that patriotic demonstration. The marshal had been therd-to. “execute a writ. It is said that the per ‘son arrested resisted. The marshal taking this to be the act of the whole nﬁm summoned the rest of mankind to assist him.” The people of Lawrence; as‘tonished at his proclamation assemhled en masse, and by unanimous resolves informed theofficer of his mistake; that they were ready to assist him in fthe execution of all legal process, and that they. only awaited an opportunity to testify then’ fidelity to the laws of|the eount y, the' Constitution and the Union. The marshal did not believe them. The posse had “been ealled and to the number of eight hundred, armed with ‘muskets, rifles; swords and cannon,they came, ~He made his arrests, no one re-. sisting him, and dismissed his posse.— They were immediately resummonefl to the-assistance of Sheriff Jones. = What thoy.did undef s Shivalrio load, kbt be told in the words of these Demagrat- ~ The editor-of the. Union, who'|was S sl potoe, s i Lippes. *@w Bot My iﬁﬁﬁ ‘WE}!' & e

also, an order from the court to demand the surrénder of theiv arms, field and side, and the dewolition of the two presses and the free-State hotel as nuisances. The arms were immediately demanded and surrendered, but very few could be found—four pieees of cannon one two pound howitzer, and four #mali piecef, and a few Sharpes rifles. When they agreed to surrender, our men were marched down int fromt of the town, and one cannon planted on their own battlements. ~ Over the largest, commanding the Enrigrant Aid Hotel, was unfurled the stars and stripes; with this moto: ; - ; “¢You Yankees tremble, - : "And abolitiounists fall, Our motto is i ~ Southern rights to all.

" % The cannon were then brought out and thrown down in front of our lines. During this time appeals were made to Sheriff Jones to save the Aid Society’s 1 Hotel. This news reached the company’'s ears, and was recieved with one universal cry of No, no, blow it up! blow it up! We will not injure private property, butour motto is, Destruction to everything belonging to the Aid Society. . The court has declared it a nuisance, and we will destroy it.” | “About this time, a banner wag seenfluttering in the ,breeze, over the office of ‘the Herald of Freedom. Its color was blood red, with a lone star in the center, and Squth Carolina above.— This banner was placed there by the Carolinians—DMessrs, Wright and a Mr. Cross, The effect was tremendous.— one tremendous and long continued shout burst from the ranks. Thus floated in triumph, the banner of South ‘Carolina—that single white star, so emblematic of her course in the early history of sectional disturbances. . When every southern state stood almost on the verge of ceding their dearest rights to the North, South Carolina stopd boldly out, the firm and unwavering advocate of southern institutions. -

~ “Thus" floated victoriously -the first banner of southern rights over the abolition town of Lawrence, unfurled by the noble sons of Carolina, and every whip of “its folds seemed a death stroke to Beecher propaganism and the fanatics of the east. Oh that its red folds could-have been. seen by every Southern eye, & Yok iy

¢ Mr. Jones listened to the many entreaties, and finally replied that it was beyond his power to etfo anything, and gave the oceupants so long to remove all private property from it.- e ordered two companies into each printing office to destroy the press. Both presses were broken up and thrown into the streets—the type thrown into the river and all the material belonging to each office wag destroyed. After this was accomplished, and the private property removed from the hotel by the different companies, the cannon were brought in front of the house, and directed their destructive blows upon:the walls; - it caught fire, and soon its walls came with a crash to the ground. Thus fell the abolition fortress,- and we hope this will teach the Aid Society a good lesson for the future. ! :

. The account from the Republican ‘is also so striking in some of its statements, that I must trouble the committee with one or two extracts. That pa. per says: i L

- %As soon as the deputy [marshal] & posse returned with the prisoners, the troops ware dismissed by Colonel Adie, acting for Major Donaldson, and ‘were immediately - summoned by him for Sheriff Jones, to assist in carrying out an order of the United states Court— The Emigrant Aid Hotel and the two printing offiees (the Herald of Freedom and Free State) had been indicted [not tried, convicted and sentenced, mark you, ] for being nuisances, and the Sheriff ordered to remove them. . :

Giving a statement of the demand and surrender of the erms of the free State men, and of the notice given by the Sherriff to the host of the hotel t5--pgmove his furniture within two rhours, which T-pacsover, the account proceeds: e e “Meanwhile the Sheriff pm(;m demolish the 'two printing presses, which was effectunally done ina very short time. 'Most of the type. was thrown into Kansas iver, and the eases smashed. This was done with less excitement than could have been expeeted. Indeed, few excesses were committed. Private property was ordered to berespected and it was respeeted. There was no liquordn the ranks and that accounts for the covlness of’ our citizen ‘soldiers. It is trune that &hinsons‘ house was burned ; but that ‘Was contrary to express orders.” - %At the expiration of two hours, ‘the artillery was drawn up in front of: the public entrance of the hotel, and a dozen or fifteen shots fired into it, completely riddleing the inside and breaking holag in the walls - and after shaking the walls with two or three blasts, the ﬁgpﬁimam olitary wall holding e T e

- Mark, sir, the peculiaritics of this new mode of executing process. It wae not a mere mob—a gathering of professed marauders in deaneg of legal restrainte and legal authorifiés; “but, sir, it was professedly the instrument of the law—summoned, organized, directed, and disbanded by officials—ledcral officials, too, Mr. _Cgfnim'ﬁ, the agents of the then Administration ;- for, as T have already -shown, every territoria! official is only a Federal agent. See, to, what exemplary,; thorongh agert: the administration ﬂad there to do thei: deeds of burning patriotism. They were not- rowdies, not drunken either, but citizen soldiers, eaol and jsobcr, under ¢ivil orders, and strict'y obeying True, They were ordered not to ium a certain house and did it; bot that was only a t}iﬂ“e w;xén_;'we consider how completely they vindicated the tithorities, leaving only ome smoked ‘and blackened wall to say to all liwhreukers, “look at me and bewar¢!” It was a thorough job, sir,which left on'y that dumb, yet speaking monument of its eompleteneast v o o Sir, the. President, about that time, was,l believe in this eounry,and therefore his knowledge of this transaction may fairly be prestmed. Does any friend of his remember . that, in vicw of it he wrung his hands, and eried out in the words of the beautiful apostrophe in his message: . “Would that, the respect for the laws of the land that so eminently distinguished the men of the past generation eould be revived ¥’ or was he as dumb then as he is now as to all wrongs committed by his “law and order men” in Kangas?

Observe, again, this wds no ordinary mob. If it were, I would pass it unne: ticed; for mobs, disgraceful -and destructive mobs,are not peculiar in Kan+ sas. It was legalized lawlessness—a specimen of that excéntion of the luwg to which, according to the tone of the message, the freemen of Kansas were bound to submit. Viewedin this light it becomes an enormity of the decpest dye. I nced not *say, in the presence of the lawyers of this House, that property, indicted as a nuisance, is net, by any law, to be destroyed without a trial of the question of fact. . o

Once more, and only ¢nece, T return to the message. = On ‘the first day of December, 1857, acting Governor Stanton summoned the Territorial Legislature to convene on the 7th day of that month. - Looking -into: a dispat¢h of his, contained in the message, we learn that he deemed this-course ncccssary to preserve the peace of the Territory. Tnrn now to the letter of the Secrctary of State to (reneral Denver, of the date of December 11, and, straitze to say, you will find that for this very act he was removed from offifce! Will it be replied, the President did not know hismotive in convening the Legislature? The answer is rcady. He could have waited until he learned it. ~“There was no necessity for such kot haste. =/ Sir, I have done with the sickening record. The message has gone to the country. Let it go. 1 shall ask my ‘constituents to read it. I hope it will ‘be read by every voter in the land; and ‘when next the people of the North utter their voiee at the ballot-box, my word for it, sir, they will pronoance a verdict upon-its author similar to that long since pronounced by - posterity on. those who libeled the patriots of tkves lutionary times. =~ < . o o .";$ j, : i ‘vclq.}"—j.' : ,I.‘ A : : 3 4
