Calls for the immediate admission of Kansas into the United States as a free state and for protection by the government until this is accomplished, pointing out that "at Leavenworth City, the ballot box was seized and carried off by a part…y of armed men, chiefly citizens of a foreign state, who publicly threatened the lives and property of the friends of the constitution if another attempt should be made to vote on it in this county." Attached is the Topeka Constitution drawn up by the Free State convention (Oct. 23-Nov.2) which prohibited slavery, recorded by James Redpath (who also wrote the first memorial) and headed by the president of the Convention, James H. Lane, also military commander of the Free State forces. OCLC shows 7 copies: Huntington, Harvard, Texas, Hayes Pres. Lib., and Oklahoma Hist. Soc., Kansas State Hist. Soc., Indiana State Lib. Small dampstain on upper corner, tear to lower corner of the first few leaves, untrimmed fore edge ragged, overall a very good unopened (uncut) copy.
