The enormitvof this Lee nipion scheme should not be concealed under the plea that ths Convention declared the constitution to be in force, an tbe fum'amentkl luw of Kansas wv bout futMTi#*ton to thv people (except tbe slavery article),end that, conee<|iifn'lj , tbe authority of the Territorial legislature wa* superseded on tbe 21*t of December ia*t.
