Its Executive Committee whose members included Eli Thayer Edward Hale and William Spooner responds to criticism that the Society is a "mammoth moneyed corporation" which seeks "to control the institutions of Kansas." The charges against the Society were leveled in a Senate Report issued by the Chairman Stephen A. Douglas of the Committee on Territories. <br /> The Society says the Executive Committee does not promote "interference with the internal affairs and domestic concerns of the Territory;" it "has done what it could in a peaceable legal and constitutional way to aid in the settlement of Kansas by a population of freemen." <br /> FIRST EDITION. 22 Decker 220.
