He would advise no hesitation ; he would present a bold front, and waver not at all. The Territory was without laws ; life and property were unprotected. The Territorial government had broken down. He would not leave it an hour for the action of Con- gress after an application for admission, but would set up an inde- pendent form of government, " &c. Mr. Emery said: " Now, Mr. Chairman, what does this resolution contemplate ? What is proposed to be done ? It first proposes to supersede the pres...ent weak and inefficient Territorial government, and hence it enunciates the fundamental idea of the constitutional movement. Ay, it does more. It proposes to prove into a fact the lead- ing idea of the Declaration of Independence, the highest human authority in American politics, which is this : whenever any form of govern- ment becomes destructive of the ends for which it was instituted_, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new govern- ment. It proposes to force theories of human rights into facts, to practi- cally apply this great principle to the wants and the necessities of the down-trodden people of Kansas.
