Bayless, and Wm. B. Parsons. Adjourned to 4, P. M. ' v" 1 P. 'M.--Mass Convention again assembled. R. B. Foster, of Nebrasha, made a short address. He said there wis a fourfold stronger pro-slavery senti raont in Nebraska than in Kanzas. Uut of the tour candidates tor Dole , gate to Congress there, only one ever . resided in the Territory, . James Redpath was called out, and opposed tho idea of voting at the October election. lie claimed that rit was a back-down in principle so to . do, and would result in disaster. Judge Smith followed. He was in favor of voting. We cannot believe . much that Gov. Walker says, but we will take him at his word. It could I result in no injury to tho, Free State , party if m were defeated. The Business Committee reported tthj following resolutions: Wherens, it i of thu most vital importance to the people of Kanzas that the Territorial Government i should be controlled by bona fide cit ixons thereof, and whereas Gov, ' Walker has repoatedly pledged him- self that tho peoplo of Kanzas shall have a full and fair vote before itn I partial judges, at the election to be 1 held the 1st Monday in October for Delegate to Congress, members of tho 'Territorial Legislature, and all other fOlficers, .Therefore, Resolved, That wo, the peopl'i of Sanaa in m tss convention assembled, agree to participate ' in i 4id eleotion. . - R'solneA, Tint in thus acting we rely upon the faithful fulfilment of the plodgos of Gjv. Wiilkor, and that wo as h TJtr fore protest against tha aactment'i forced upon us i.y the rotes of the people of Missouri. Resolved, That this mass mooting procoed to tho appointment of a com mittee to wait upon the Territorial Authorities and urgontly insist upon a revisioa and correction of the wick ( od apportionment endoavored to be enforced upon the people of Kantas, to govern the eleotion ef member of (he Territorial Legislature. - '- Resolved, That Gon. J. II. Lane be .authorized and empowered to tender to Gov, Walker, the forcea organized , by hipi under the resolution passed by the convention hold atTopok on the 15th 'of July ultimo), to be used for ,the protection of the) ballot box. ' Report accepted. "'"i"', "' ' ' ' ' Judge Conway opposed the two first resolutions in a spoooh of con siderable length. He ttiged that we Itiiltified ourselves by going into the flection, The Judge spoke with a good deal of animation, and although ft was evident that his views were not at all popular, he firmly deolared Jiia honest sontimontg, aud recorded himself against' the eleotion'.; If the ' jeople wt intolbe eleotion at all, vi eiiikviiin wftosfetfa in their, hands, and maintain their rights at the polls at all hazards. Gen. Lune was vociferously called for. He commenced by comparing our condition to that of a prisoner who escaped from his dunproon by the drain which carried off the tilth of the prison. ' It was a dreadful alter native, but he chose it. So with us. He abhorred the idea of having any thing to do with the bogus concern, but w must do it. This was not a Free-State convention. True there was a working majority here, but it is the People's Convention, irrespec of party, With that fervid, inde scribable eloquence which character izes his speeches, he alluded to the commencement of the revolution. Only a small party came forward and engaged for life in,the struggle. Many hesitated before venturing to risk all upon the issue, while many went over to the enemy. He did not charge that there were tories in Kan zas, but there were pmdont men who wished to exhaust every peaceful method of settling affaire before go ing into battle for their rights. He desired to go. into the election, . but .1 i 1 I 1 ' 1 ' T inera musi.pe no. oacKing. uown. in October' we have the General and Territorkl " Governments and Mis souri to meet and overcome. But we can and must do it. He here alluded to the recent disturbance at Atuhiso i, and said a resolution had been pas sed there, declaring it caused by a personal matter between himself and some citizens there. , He called upon Gen. Pomeroy to explain. Pomeroy said it was true., They did so consider it, A man at Atchi son said that Lane killed his brother at Hickory Point, and he with friends wished for vengeance. Pomeroy said they were engaged in a' gradual movement at Atchison, and wished to be left by outsiders, to solve the pro blem themselves. If Lane had been a candidate, they would have defend ed him, but under the circumstances did not feel at liberty to embroil the town in trouble to sustain Gen. Lane. '' . Lane said hie appointments to speak were made out by the District Committee. -He asked if Hickory Point battle was a personal affair ? Was Bull Creek a personal affair ? He said Pro-Slavery men in Atchison had said that " Neither Jim Lane nor any other damned abolitionist should speak there." (Several voices, "I heard that," ,"1 heard it many times.') Lane considered it a party affair, and an effort to suppress tree speech. He disliked to bring this personal matter before the Convention, but it was a duty ;to himself, .He, urged the absolute necessity of carrying the eloction. No man ' wonld go farther tor peace, bnt it invaded again, we should meet the invaders at the thresh old, und drive thum bask or die. Let every man join some company, With organization we can carry the elect ion. He declared his undying Affec tion for the Topoka Constitution, and all that we do in this election is to sustain that. After considerable oonfusion, Vjlia, A. Phillips Buccooded in obtaining the floor. We were very sorry to see an attempt upon the part of some to prevent Mr. Phillips from speaking. VVe are glad to behove, however, that it arose principally from a desiro to do up the business without delay. He asked, ''Are you ready to assert your r ghts at tho ballot. box by force?" " ifes, yes I'' was the reply. But U has been urged, he said, that we must go into the election to settle the mat ter peacefully.,, , This did not seem like a very peaceful policy. If tho peo ple are determined, to go into the election, it .was not his province to opposj thom; but he said that tho way was beset with difficulties, and beleived that it would result disas trously to the Free State party, lie thn, jntroducod the following resolution . ' Resolved,,, That should any power, loguimiue qr othoi wiso, bo obtained oj any .loi',oetif Free State voters at ihj proceeding called an election, in Oocobor naXjl, that this Convention roHolyos th Miioli powers shall only be UHdd tor t,io destruction of usurp a. ion,, and ihut a Turrlionul Govern ment slull npu be purputuuied, but that the Government under the Tope kaConstitiuion is tho only legitimate Government., This resolution was roferrod to the Basinosa Committee, and in its place thoy brought in tho following : Resolved, That this mass meeting express their unalterable determina tion to adhere to the Topeka Consti tution and Government, and that all our aotion shall be pointed towards sotting thaf' Government in motion in a legitimate manner at an early day, "Gov. Robinson' was called bnt, and made one 0f the best of those com mon-sonse speeches which are oharao teristio of this gentleman. He com menood with the proposition thut men who a e ' too oonsoietitious and too honorable to change their tactics with a change of ciroumstinces; are too oonscieuiions for politicians. He was not in favor of going 1 into the last election, ; because we could, have no show; bunow there was a,chance to peaoefuliy aettle the difficulty, and we should try it. If weaie defeated by fraud,' , wr have only tp prpve the1 frad'a6d we W trogJei;haA( Wa should thin, ha,xe a perptknit'y ?.nmm.mine; ini Kanzas, and" lia've tho ' iiipp'orrof the entire JNorth, i' H believed that if we obtain possession of the Terri torial Government, it will be used to sustain the Topeka Government.--!-But he would not have this Conven tion decide what should bo done in this respect. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." We cannot now decide what course it will be best to take. '' ' The resolutions were then unani; mously adopted. , Gen, Lane introduced the follow ing resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, That a Territorial Com mittee of twenty persons shall be ap pointed, any five of whom shall con stitute a quorum, who shall keep an office at somo central point, and con tinue in session till after the election. The following persons sonstitute that committee : J. H. Lane, Chair man, 0. K. Holliday, Dr, James Da vis, 0- 0. Learnard, Andersen John son, W. F. M. Amy, G. W. Hutch inson, J. R. Porter, H. Miles Moore, Alexander Jamison, G. W. Brown, Robert Riddle, W. R. Frost, G. W, Smith, J. K. Goodin, Dr. Gilpatrick, P, C. Schuyler, Dr. Robertson Ed ward Lines, C. W. Babcock. Committee to wait on Gov.' Walk-' cr in accordance with the 3d resolu tion, is composed of tho following persons : W. Y.. Roberts, H. J. Ad urns, S. C. Pomeroy, C. K. Holliday, J. K. Goodin. . 0. Storrs, Jr., introduced the fol lowing resolution, which was adopted. Revolved, That we reccoinmend the appointment of a committee of three or more reliablo Free State mon, in every voting precinct, who shall re cord the votes of all persons during the day. The Mass Convention then ad journsd. Delegote Convention was immedi ately called to order by II. J. Adams,' temporary Chairman. Committee on Orga ization reported as folio wi : For President, W. Y. Roberts j Vice Presidents, H, J. Adams and G. W. Smith ; Secretaries, A. D. Richard-' son sad E. G. Ross. Report accepted. Gen. Lane said : "If there is a men here who wishes to present any other name than that of Marcus J. Parrot as Delegate to Congress,' let him speak." No reply. "1 move, then, that we dispense with all formalities'; and nominate Marcus J. Parrot to that office by acclamation." Thfy was responded to by three hearty cheers, .and the candidate appeared upon the stand. We cannot give a tull report o! his speech, and we will not mar its beautiful proportions by attempting to condonse it. Those long, polished periods, rich in class- ical allusions ami striking metaphors, and at the same time replete with ar gument, are such as fall from the lips of. lew men. Mr. Parrot is, in the fullest sense of the word, an orator; and those who did not before appre ciate the fact, could see that his des tiny is in his own hands. At the close of his speech the con vention adjourned tint die. At 7 P. M., the mass convention again assembled and listened to spooches from II. Miles Moore, Mr. Adams of Loaven worth, M. J. Parrot Gen. Lane, G. Wi Hutchinson and oth.TS. Adjourned sine die. MM Awful News from Washington I B UCnAXAtf CALLS ON .0 OD TO HELP HIM ENFORCE THE BOGUS TERRITORIAL "LAWS"! St. Louis, August 20. .
