ISuch an objection to the .procnediugs of

' able origin, for the reason that, by the ex

. Constitution of: thti - United.
States, no rule of reason, , sight, or common
senses confarkany such power as that now ,
claimed by a mere party in the Territory.--L
-, In fact, what has been done is of a revolu
tionary eharacteti. It is avowedly so in rim-
live and in aim es respects the local law of
the Territory. .It. will become treasonable
insurrection ifit reach the length of organ
ized resistanc e hy force to the fundamental
or any other federal law and to the authority
of the General! Giivernmeut. ,
in such an event the path , of 'duty of the
Executive is plain. The Constitution requir
ing him to take cam that the laws- of- the
United States beaithfullieleqiited, if they
be oppostd in :t he Territory of Kansas be
may and should place at the disposal of the
marshal!, any Public force of the United
States which happens tea be within the juris
diction, to be used as, a portion of the posse
comitatus : aed,ifl that do not suffice to main
tain, order, thenJle may call forth the militia
of one or more states for that' object, or em=
ploy for the ranee object. any portion of the
j land-or naval for of the United States. So
1 also if the obetrutaions be to the laws of the
•Territorr. and; it he duly presented to him as
a case of insurrection, he may employ for its
J
suppression the rripitia of any State or the
land or naval forget of the; United States.--
And if the TerritOry be ievaded by the citi»
zens of other Statiie, whether-for , the purpose
of deciding elections or for.'anv other,and the
1 0 4: 1 1 authorities? find themselves unable to
repel or withstandj it, they will be entitled to,
and upon the fee: being , fully , ascertained,
they shall inotit certainly receive the aid of
the General G,,ventnent.,
But it,is not the duty of the ;President of
the United Staiee to volunteer interposition hy
force to preserve thiSpurity of 'elections either
in a State or Terri cry. To do. so would be
subversive to public Freedom And whether
a law be wise or unwise, just or unjust; is not
a A pie ! tion for bitni to judge. If it be consti
tut ienal--thatjis, if ithe the law of the land,

inclination as well ail duty imperiously de
mands.of me to•jUstify and protect. Entirely
satisfied as I am with the course adopted, up
to this time.,•by the people of . Kansas—ewe
yinced that it has been dictated by edesire
to preserve .the peace, - the reputation' and' the
- glory of our country..-knowing that it 'has, -
~at every stage, been characterized , by the
'most conservative nualeration and lendable
regard for 'the rights'of others--having seen
at every step the - plainest manifestation if the
aesious desire tO „hyoid even the semblance

false to every manly-impulse .and every sense
of duty, if I allowed •the aspersions of the
• Message to pass unnoticed. , -.
..'Unless the Message shall incite and stim
