Aet—Upper House Unanimously Recom- mend tt—Lower House Unanimously Op- pose it, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Lawrence, K. T., Jan. 19, 1858. en. Denver, Acting Governor, returned to the Legisla- ture yesterday an act ‘entitled an act for the reloase of John Benz,” with his veto, The act is intended to re- ease Mr. Benz from obligations incurred by him as warety of a bond given in a criminal prosecution. The reason of the veto is given im these words :—‘‘I do not believe the Governor and Legislative Assembly can de- @lare a judgment null and void ab initio.” He thought, however, that they had power to release the party from ‘the effects of the judgment. Bathe Council a bill was introduced and passed to the wecond reading, to petition Congress for an Enabling act. Every member of the Council are in favor of such @ pe- ‘ation | Im the House of Representatives the minority report ‘pen the “concurrent resolutions” sent in by the s0- @alled Topeka State Legislature, was presented and dis- assed. The report is as follows :— RRENT RESOLUTIONS” ‘The undersigned, a member of the Special Committee, to whom was referred the ‘concurrent resolutions’ passed by the General Assembly of the State of Kansas, Bow in session in priciest Seger under the authority = ‘the following minority rans 3 ineree re the to) report += From a careful perusal of the said resolutions, their parport seems to be « denial of the existence of any legiti- mate government ip this Territory to the 23d day of Ostoder, 1856, (that being the day upon which, it is alleged, the ka constitution was adopted,) and also te endorse the sentiment that’ the elected under ‘aad by virtue of said constitution were the only legal eers now in this Territory. This idea is clearly and dis- fimctly set forth in the preamble to said regolutions, and it fm this doctrine which thie body, sitting as a Territorial re, is now called upon to endorse and sanction. in fact, admitting tots Territorial Legislature to be fam illegal body, acting without authority of law derived any bn, arco source: and, ag a matter course, all passed by it must be null and void. Those resolu- it Of no other construction. What is the his- — of fact, as to this Territorial Legislature? ence does it derive its powers? The following Im May, 1864, an act was passed by Congress or fe Territories of Kansas and Nebraska. the 30th June, 1854, A. H. Reeder was appointed Governor of Kan- Bas, under whose proclamation, issued in accordance with the organic act, an election was held on the 30th of March, 1865, at which time members of the first Territorial Legis- lature were elected, and subsequently commissioned by Governor Reeder. This Legislature convened at Pawnee @wy, and immediately adjourned to the Shawnee Maaual Labor School, and while in session there enacted a code of laws. These laws were subsequently recognized by Con- gress as valid and binding. Again, in October, 1856, Snother election was held for the eloction of members of the Legislature. This Legislature so elected metat Le- ‘eempton on the first Monday in January, 1857, and, among ethers, passed ‘an act to define and establish the council and representative districts for the Second Legislative As- sembly and for other purposes,” (approved Feb. 20, 1857,) virtue of which, and in strict accordance with its pro: visions, an election was held on the 4th day of October, 3857, on which day the members comprising the present Territorial Legisiature, new in session, were elected. Therefore, is it not clear, anda fact incapable of being e only vitality Or legality pos- wessed by ure is derived the first Pegisiature, elected in March, 1856. Why, then, seek ‘ assume any other position’ H these are not facts, then the sitting of this Legiclature is a mere farce, and ah its doings mere child’s play. If there is wo legally constituted government except the State organi- zation, by virtue of the Topeka constitution, all the acts passed by the present Legislature at its late extra seesion are null aud void. We bave no law to punish election frauds, and the submission of the Lecompton con- stitution to the people was a mere farce. It is a very difficult matter to maintain two positions atagonistic ‘to each other at one and the same time. Some gentlemen 4 be, and undoubtedly are, very anxious to trim their sails according t the popular breeze, but they should re- member that windy declamatiens at | aon hustings, and ve assertions, in the form of resolutions, to be passed ‘8 body enacting laws, by which the entire people of a Berritory are to be governed, are very different things. ‘While the minority of your committee woald in no man- ner pretend to endorse the means resorted to in the elec- tons of 1865 and 1856, obo seanah 00 eiaiity ot bis ents as to admit that the ly now in session, and in which he holds a seat, ig sitting without any legal authority; neither does he believe that a mejority of its members are pre- pared to make any such admission. If, as is the senti- ment of those resolutions, the ka Legislature, now in pescion at this place, has the right to “enact such laws as the necessities of the people seem to demand,” this bedy has no right whatever to pass any laws, aud the nooner it adjourns the better. Io those resolutions is found the following language:—'‘Whereas the federal authority represented in the Territorial laws and Territorial Legis- ‘will of the people thr: the State constitution, |, resolved, that we re- ly urge the General Aseembly of the Territory of , how in session in Lawrence, to take immediate steps to remove the forms of a Territorial government so far that it shall not obstruct and embarrass the State go- ‘vernment.”” Now, this language is of very doubtful con- he to assert that the ithe Terr has the wo . a + ie wembly of itory”? wer to pass laws eaten k taateee of contee, fe autherity wo laws is ad- mitted, and it then follows that the Bas no such suthority, for it would be to say that two independents bodies could exist over the same country ‘atone and the same time, and exercise ‘concurrent legisla. Topeka Le- . leave this illegal body, and in the other “enact such laws as the necessities of the seem to de- mand?’ Why not, if that body is the logal one, adhere to Malone and stand or fall by it? Having established the fact that thie Logisiative Assembly is the only legal law-making power, your committee would therefore sub- mit the following resolation: — Resolved, That the Clerk of this House is hereby in- strocted to return the ‘concurrent resolutions’’ sent here } Any assemblage of people styling themselves the Topeka Legislature, and inform that honorable body that the Governor and ty Assembly of the Territory of Kansas are the only jer to enact ‘such seem to demand.” of which is respectfully submitted, W. P. BADGER. REMARKS BY MR. ELLIOTT, Mr. Elliott, of Leavenworth county, rose and opposed the minority report. I deny said he, that this Territorial Legislature is a legal body. 1 deny that the organic act teelf is a legal act. I deny that Congress has the power to give us an organic act. | believe such an act unconsti tauvenal. I believe we have aright to act upon our con- victions of whet we consider constitutional and unconstitu- tional. It may seem strange when everybody almort be- Jieves an organic act legal and constitutional, that I declare it unconstif@tional, but it is so. I deny that Congress has the power to pass an organic act.» I deny that it has the power to pase an enabling act. I am surprised at this re port. I understood “yesterday that the minority report would contain a recommendation or resolution in favor of petitioning Congrees for an enabling act. I was and am prepared to take grounds against such a resolution. No man bere or cleewbere will say that Congress bas a right to grant any people a charter, civil, political, or of any kind, either here or anywhere else, either in a State, Ter. ritory, or on public ie. This question has been so decided by lawyers and menof sense. (Laughter.) I Ily authorized body poseesmng any laws that the necessities of don't want to be understood to. say that lawyers are not men of common sense; many of them are, but they do ‘not monopolize that ‘article. Well, if cannot ta charter to any city, in any State, Territory or bli domain, it cannot grant an organic act to a Cory, for that is but a charter, The plain of the constitution are that all rights not e: 1y reserved im the constitution, belong to the . Now, the strongest. admirer of the constitution does not claim that the consti- tution greote to Congress, directly, the right t> forma government for the people of a Territory. The only arg ment they use in favor of it igsthat there is a defect in th constitution on that point, and that Congress must oxercise the power from necessity and by the suiferance of the peo- ple. Now, if there wen ear necessity for this—if there re no other way by W' itizens of a Territory could have their rights than by an organic aot, there would be Dut little objection to it; but such is not the case. An or. jc act is nothing more than @ political charter, and as as no right to grant political charters, it has no right to grant an organic act. Precisely on the same ground jt has po right to grant an enabling act. Ali Powers not granted to Congress are held by we people; We have, therefore, the right to logisiate for a Territory. ‘The Territorial government, | will acknowledge, bas one Kind of legality—that ie this: « government, even though # be of illegitimate origin, does becom it when the Acquiesce in it by the election of offloers under it— ‘when by that election they intend that that government shall be carried on.

Tlove it as I love my tamily, and am to stand by it, through every chance, should circumstances compel us) to fight under it. But if we should now do what the gentleman wishes us to do—repeal all laws, and go home to our constituents— ‘what would follow? Why, in less than thirty days we would have & military government here; we would forced back ner the organic act; we would have laws to contro) apy one; the United States government would be called into immediate action, and Gen. Scott or Gen. Harney would be ordered to govern us by military wer. I bave never seen the emergency yet arise in ‘ansas that would justify the people of Kansas in taking grounds against the federal government, or rebelling. When we have exbausted every possible means of peace— when we can be supported by all our friends—than I will be willing to defend our rights in the field, ‘This excitement, this rebellion throughout the Terri- tory, may be very agreeable to some people, but I have suffered too much from it. I have lost teo much in pocket and in person to imperil all for nothing upon such a tur- bulent sea. I believe the people of this Territory want peace, and they will have peace, and they will have it peaceably, too. Wo have the power, and all that is ne- Cessary is to nse that power discreetly. Suppose the Lo compton swindle should be forced upon us; I say let it come, and I, for one, am prepared to meet it.’ Let it come in apy shape; we have the majority in the Legislature, we have the power, and let us use it to destroy and crush out thatconstitution. Let us use it 20 long as it may be necessary to use it in order to establish a good govern- ment. lam, for one, in favor of this Legislature passing an enabling act at an early day. Congress would be very willing itself to grant us an enabling act, for the Kansas imbroglio is destroying the democratic party, and they are anxious to ‘‘get quit of it.” 1am neither a Gemocrat nor & republican—I am a free State man of Kansas—and we are not struggling here to destroy the democratic party in the States, or to build up the republican party there, bul to make Kansas a free State; and I, for one, shall never commit myself to any other party till this ts done. Some are trying to draw party lines among us be- fore that tige; but, for one, 1 am opposed to all such movements. Its authors love principle less than faction. REMARKS BY DR. DANFORD. The following are the points of Dr. Danford’s remarks:— ‘The Territorial government is the only obstacle in the way of the State government, and we are asked to resign and make way for the State government, so that it can go into operation, We have members bere who belong to the State Legislature. They go into that body and make a pe tion for us to resign, then come back here and an- swer their own memorial. (Mr. Elliott is ® member of both organizations.} The two factions of the free State ey, are mg pe ines sciget' jks faa. use this Legislature, w! 1s acknow le: as legal by Congress, to repeal those Missouri laws, and to enact wholesome ones. The South demand that Kansas shal) be admitted a slave State, as an offset for Minnesota, a free State, and threaten, if that is not granted, to bolt. I have always feared this complication of the Kansas question. We should not recommend the putting in force of the Topeka State government, 60 ee as there is any possible of peaceably settling our difficulties, otherwise ‘we injadi- clously throw ourselves into revolution and war. The people of Kansas do not desire again to imperil their lives and property, unless it be absolutely necessary ; then ‘would do it willingly and determinedly. If we should re- sign and be but cutting ofr own throats. onal ernment can never be until the free State party of Kansas is a unit. Why, thelr divisions are so rank that the of their own ballot boxes is @ part of their programme. If we resign and go heme, we will bave revolution, conflicting factions civil war. Now that we have obtained a foothold in acquiring our rights, to abandon it would be to commit suicide, cut our own throats. I believe in ex- hausting every peaceable means of obtaining our rights, and if fail we will stand by the Topeka coust:tution ull the lower freeze over. If any gent.eman re- gards this as an illegal body, deriving its existence from ‘an illegal source, it is hie pos Lan to resign. .

Badger offered, in the House of Representa- tives, a memorial to be sent to Congress, earnestly re questing that the Lecompton constitution should be reject ed, and praying for an enabling act. The House held evening eeasion to consider the memorial. There was a goo deal of irregular debate. the administration and the jemocratic party were liberally denounced, it was main tained that a memorial for an enabling act would only be aiding the democratic party to get out of @ tight place. It wae charged as a movement got ap bh Denver, by direction of the federal government. free State party were able to rule Kansas now under whatever constita tion she might be admitted; so let the fight go on in Con gross, let the breach in the democratic party go ou and be increased till that party tore itself to pieces. Tne history of the free *tate party was reviewed; their difficulties, trials and wrongs dwek upon, and then it was asked if, after all their troubles, they would, now they had got the power, relieve the administration, the demycratic party, from the reeponeibility and difficulty of their position. Let, said they, Congress and the administration, who have always held to the doctrine that Congrees had ‘no right to interfere in the government of the Territory, eat their words by pasa- mg an enabling act, if they will do so of their own accord but don’t let this Inture again go wp to the federal government on their knees begging for what they are too Anxious to give us, when they have always herewfore de. spised and refused our prayers A fow words were spoken in favor of the memorial.
