Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, Against the Admission of Kansas Under the Lecompton Constitution: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 30, 1858We respectfully ask for the proof that the piece of parchment contains the will of the people of Kansas.We are told the Territorial Legislature took, by law, the sense of the people - and voted to call a convention, that persons voted, in all, for the members of the convention, that the convention, whose journal no one here has seen, voted the constitution, that it was not submitted to the people for their ratification, and that the vote of the 4th of January, of against it, is of no legal relevancy to the question before us.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
