1'rts'l. Doniphan, Jan. iJ. HAVE TIIE3T FtTLFILLED THE CONTRACT. The news from the sitting Territorial Legislature, is to the effect that that body is proceeding to enact a code of laws for tlie government of the people of Kansas.

This action was unlocked for by the peo ple, and will take many by surprise, when it is remembered that the position, ol the Free State partv of Kansas has ever been one of direct antagonism to the Territorial From the first Territorial elec tion, under the organic Act, when all forms and usages of law and propriety were contemptuously overridden by an army of in- i vauei anu ftovcniiiivui iuuuuwi juibu the people were utterly ignored, that party has persistently and successfully nullified everv enactment and. resolve of the so-called Legislature of Kansas, and lias labored uiiceiisinerly for the destruction of the government of which it was the oif-sriringl Feelinsr that some point of concentration for that opposition was needed to. enable the people to successfully battle the fraud imposed upon them, a Constitution and independent State Government was formed which has since embodied the Free State element, and hon the common ral lying point of all parties opposed to usur pation, and in-favor of extending the area of free institutions over the; 'Territory of In the siipport of this government, and the advocacy of the policy adopted two years ago, the Free State party have been consistent and imwaverinff. At the 10th of March Conven lion, held at Topeka asrain in Juno, and again in Jidyy this po sition and policy was unanimously aflirnil- eu, in the most distinct ana emphatic man ner. Again also at the Grasshopper Falls Convention, where a dirterent mcdeot tac tics was proposed, the unyielding support of the existing ree fotate Uovernraent was declared to be the prime object oi the a test the following resolutions Resolved, That this Mass Meeting ex press their unalterable determination to ii- i n.

rn i. i Government, and that all our actions shall be pointed towards setting that Govern ment in motion, in a legitimate manner at an early day." The policy of voting for members of the Territorial Legislature was there, -urged and adopted, and it was only the' passage of this resolution, pJaeing that Convention uneqnivocaly on record in favor of the State Government, and in that far instructing the Legislators to be elected at the October election, to second that itesotve by their Legislative acts, that induced a large por tion of the delegation fo accede, tinder any circumstances, to the proposition to take possession of the Territorial The distinct and only prominent issue at. that election was the entire expurgation ot the territorial code, thus removing the onhy serious obstacle to the complete and successdil institution ot the State Govern ment. Oh that issue the delegates to. the Grasshopper Falls Convention consented to contest that election i and on that issue the people nominated and elected members tor the Legislature To show that tip to the time for the meeting of that body.

no change had oc curred in the views of the people on this question, a large mass Uonven.tion assembled at Lecompf on oil the 7th December last, for the purpose of giving a popular expression' for the guidance of the Legislature then to meet, the' long forward policy of the party was afrain en dorsed, and presen ted as a tnilsman for the action ot She. Legislature, as tollows Ke-50lved. That we reiterate our ad herence and devotion to the Topeka Con stitution and Government, and express our unalterable determination, whenever the proper time shall have arrived, to snve it force and effect, in pursuance of the prin ciples upen which it was originated. The question was there amply and thoroughly discussed, and the unanimous expressed that the present Territorial forms were not to be retained, un der any circumstances, but that they should, if not repealed and the Territorial Government expunged outright, at least be matte the stepping stone for the mau guration of the People's Government. an wnac grace, therefore, can a body thus repeatedly instructed by the people, assume the rsponsibility of enacting a code of law for the government of that people 1 And this, too, in the face of the fact "that they were elected upon a most villainous apportionment, which has deprived one-half the Territt ry from comparatively any voice in their deliberations.

The unjustness of that apportionment has been mpst clearly exhibited by one of the House committees, in its report upon Apportionment.

The pacification of this Territory is of paramount The only Line-'of policy woicn can erteclualy secure the result, in strict adhesion to the former poh cy of the; party.

My little sister went to see God, 1 Papa was sad and mamma sighed. For, in coming back, she lost the road. And, weary of wandering They clad her corpse in a anow-white dress Oh it was a beautiful sight But dear mamma was in sore distress, For the Lost was Ler heart's delight. As they buried her swift as a dark She flew up wiih flowers in her hand And-putting the blossoms in mamma's heart VVVcnt up with a bright angel band. Doniphan City, Kansas beuv.

Out inthe dark, Without a mark All lone and stark, Weary, sad, and slow I went i light afar, Like golden star, Shot thro' th bar, And o'er rnc the glory bent. With flashing flame That went and came, I saw thy name, Thro' the darkness of my home. Above mc shine With light divine.

As Jesus! shrine, Came down fromo heavenly dome. All pulses rung 'r With Love that sung And Joy that flung, A halo grand around me? -'Till all gushing; a flushing, Life was blushing," For on that I had found thee. Like meteor bright With sudden light Across the night, Glanced this gladness o'er my life Till Doubt's dim cloud 'J Like Death's dark shroud, With wailing loud Filled iay soul with, passion' strife, Now Joy has fled That Hope is dead Whose life-blood red, Let all my pulses singing And that wild knuo," Farewell!
