We ibgret to hear some persona on the South side of the river complain that the proposition made in the late convention o Irave that side vote first for Treastirer was not ngfeed to by thin side. For ourselves we always-thought that as the Treasurer was conceded to that region, it ought sub stantially to select the man; and we said so to all three of the candidates. But we do not think that the South side of the river has any cause to complain. The 1 Coramis sloner was conceded to this side; and by the same rule which we suggest above, de ference and respect ought to have been paid to Ihe votes of this side on the subject of Oommisklbnef. The delegates on this side voted as follows:' For Dielerick, 4 ••For Funston, '• 15 For Wintersteen, 11 The South side did 1 not observe iho rule in this case which th<-y laid down for Treas urer; hod' could therefore hardly expect this side to be bound by it. The difference in the vote for Treasurer was not so much on the other side of the river as for Commis sioner on this side. It siood— For McNinch, 6 For Kiefer, 10 AB a general rule we believe that the re gtOif lii whidh a mart lives"is the best qual ified to judge of him, and that the neigh borhood to which u candidate is conceded lo be allowed in effefct to delect him. It i* ak safe as any other rule, and though per sonal friendship may bias a mans immediate neighbors, yet' this cannot influence any large circle of country. A nomination is always stronger for being the fair and clear expression of the people's choice. The transgression of any principle will be sure to invoke its retribution.

GENTLEMEN:—ON my return to iheosiy al - ter a loritnghi's absence, your memorial, without dale, was placed in my hands, thro' the agency of ML Horatio of the Posi Oflice Department, to whom it had been in- Irtieieil, Froia the distinguished source whence it proceeds, as well as its peculiar character. 1 have deemed it proper- to depart from my general rule in such case*,,ami t give it an answer. You fir.-t assert that Hie fundamental prin ciples of the Cunslitniion of the United Slate*, ami,of our political iirauiutioti-, if that the people shall make their own laws, and elect their own rulers. You theft express your grief ami astonishment that I shoiild -have vi olaied this principle, and through God. Walk er, hive employed an army, "one of the pur poses of which is to force the people of Kan sas. to obey laws not their own, nor of the United States, but which it is noioriou* and establirheif open evldenre they never made,! and rulers '.hey never elected." A.id as n corollary from the foregoing, yon represent thirl i am Held up and proclaimed, to the great derogation of our national char iic'rr, ns violating, iri its most essential par ticular, the solemn oath which the President has taken to rapport the Constitution of this Union." These sro heavy charge*, proceeding from gentlemen ol your high character, and, if well founded, ougiit-So consign ray name to infa my. But in proportion to Iheir gravity, com mon justice, to aay nothing of Christian char ily, required that trelore making them you should have clearly ascertained that they were well founded ; rf not, they will rebound -.viih withering condemnation upon ihoir author. Have you performed this preliminary duty towards the man who, however unworthy, is the Chief Mnuisfrate of your coan'ry 1 If so, either you or J dke Whoring under a strange delusion. is prove to be yoor esse, it will present a menitfrsbte example of the troth, lhat political prejudice is blind, even 'o the existence of the plaiueet and most palpa ble historical facte. To these facts let us refer. When I enter ed upon the duties of tin* Presidential office on the 4th o! March latt, whut was the con ddinn of Kansas f This Territory had been organized tinder an act of Congress, pacsed the.3oth dap of May, 1854, and the Government in all ita branches was lull iu operation. A Governor, a Secretary of the Terriiory, a Chief Justice, two A-socisie Jfetrcvs, a Marshal and Dis trict Attorney, had been appointed by my predecessor, by and with the advice and con tent of the Senate, and were all engaged in discharging their respective duties. A code ol law* had been enacted by the Territorial Legislature, and the Judiciary we're employed in expquuding atid carrying .thpse laws into effect. • ! ; . Ilia quitsjrns that a controversy h*d pre viously arisen, respecting the validity uf'tbe election of member* to the Territorial Legis lature, and ol tie laws passed by them. But at the time I entered upon my official duties, Congress bad recognized this Legislature, in different form*, and by different enactments The delegate eleved to the House of Repre sentatives, under the Territorial law, had just completed hie term of service on the day pre vious to my inauguration. In fact, I found the (Joy era men! of Kansas as well established k* thai of any other Territory. Under tlisjo circumstances, what was my duty? Was it not to sustain Ihiagovtronseni; to protect it from lbs violence ol Igwlens men; to prevent it being overturned by force ; iu the language of (kg Constitution, "to rake cars tliarih* laws b* faithfully executed?" li was for this purpose, and ibis alone, thai l ordered * j|Aarj forqe to Kansas, .. , porn* comU>UusAi,ttm ike civil magistrate to carry the Idwe-jqio execution, The condition Of the Territory at the time, which I need not portray, rendered this precaution absolutely necessary. In this state of affairs, would I opt have been justly condemned, tad I left the Mar shal and other officers of s like oharaclcr im potent to execute the process and judgments of a court of Justice, established by Coagress, br the Territorial Legislature under its, ex press authority ; sad ihgs have suffered the government itself to tweoms ea object of contempt in Ihe eyes of Iberfeoplet And yet this is What you designate'** fotcidg"*# people of Kansas o obey laws not thdjr ovao, nor of the United States," and for doing whidh, yoo have denounced me as b*{|ig violatH my oaily. . . \ I ask what el*X coglti f hare donteorongbl 1 lo have done? Would you have desired that f should abandon the Territorial Govern ment, sanctioned as it had been by Congress, to illegal violence, and thus renew the scenes of civil war and blemished, which every pa triot ."llhd deplored f This would, indeed,i have been to vihlate rtiy oath of office, Vul fo' fix a damning Mm on the character ot- my administiation. '< r •.eg-,** I ! I most cheerfotly admit that the necessity for sending s military fores lo Kansas, to aid in ihe execution sf the civil law, reflects no credit uponlhe dm racier ol our cuontry. But lei Vie blame fall upon the heads of the guilty, Whemoedid this necessity arise 1 A portion of the popple pf Kansas, unwil ling lo tiest to the ballot box—the certain American remedy fertile address of all griev ances—underiook to create an. independent Government for Ihemselrea. Had this at tempt proved successful, it would, qt course, have subverted Ihe existing Government, pre scribed and recognised by Congress, and sub si timed a revolutionary government in its stead This was usurpation of the same char acter as it would lie fern pettier, of the peer pie of Connecticut lo undertake te establish a arfparaie government within ita own limits huitM cnuiniM ol s4iehi(ui aov Slisrsnss, real or imaginary, of which they mignl have complained against the legitimate govern rue it. Surh a principle, it carried into exe eutinn, would destroy all lawlul authority tod produce universal anafohy. - • f ought to specify more particularly a con dition of affairs, which 1 have embraced only m general terms, requiring the presence of a military force in Kan.spg. Toe Congreaa of the United State* lias rooal wisely'declared it to le the Hue interest. and meaning of thii act—the act organising the territory— not te legislate slavery into any territory or State, nor to exclude it therefrom, bet to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and reg ulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constilutioo of the United Siaiea. As a natural consequence, Congress has BISQ prescribed by the same act, that when the Territory of Kansas shall be admitted as a Smte, it shall be received into this Union with or wi'hout slavery, as their constitu •ioc mpy prescribe at the tittle of their admis sion. Slavery existed at that period, and atiH ex ists in Kansas, under the Constitution o( the United Stares. Tills point has at last been finally decided by Iheatigbest tribunal known i in our laws. How it ooold tver have been seriously doubted is a mystery. If a confed eration of Sovereign States acquire a new territory at the expense of their common blond and treasure, surely one set of the part ners can have no right to exclude the others Irnm its enjoyment by prohibiting them from taking into it whatsoever is recognized to be property by the common constitution. But 'whins-the |ienple, the hew /|</s residents of such territory, proceed to form a Siate Con shiqtion, then it is their right to decide the important question lor themselves, whether iliey will continue to ratify or abolish sla very. > To them, and to them slone, does this question belong, free Iroin all foieign inter ference. In the opinion of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas the lime has arrived for. entering the Union, and iliey accordingly passed a law 10 elect delegates for the pur pose of framing a Stale constitution. This law was fair and just in its provisions. II conferred the right of suffrage on every bona fiile inhabitant of itie territory, and for the purpose of preventing fraud and the in trusion of ix-iiizens of near or distant States, most properly confined the right lo those who list! resided therein three month* previous to the election. Here was a fair opportunity presented for all qualified resident cnizsns of the territory, to whatever organization they might have previously belonged, lo partici pate in the election, and to express Iheir opin ions at ihe Tallm-oox on the question of sis very. But numbers of lawless men still con tinued to resist the regular territorial govern ment. They refused to be either registered, or to vole, and members of the Convention were elected legally and properly withoot their intervention. The Convention will soon assemble to perlcrm the solemn daty of fra ming a constitution for themselves and then posterity, and in the state ol incipient rebell ion which still exists in Kansas, it js my Im nerative duty to employ the troopa of the United States,should thrs become necessary, in defending the Convention against violence while framing a constitution, and in protect* nig the bona fidt inhabitants, qualified to vote under the provisions of this instrument, in the free exercise of the right of suffrage, when it shall be submitted lo them lor their approba tion or rejection. I have entire confidence in Governor Walker, that the troops will not be employ ed except to resist actual aggression, or in the exectltidn of the law ; and this, not until the power of the civil magistrate shall prove unavailing. Following the wise example of Mr. Madison towards the Hartford Con vention, illegal and dangerous combinations, such as that of the Topeka Convnn'; ori w jy not be disturbed, unlesß they shall attempt to perform some act which wiU bring them into actual collision with the constitution and thk laws, In that event they shall be resisted and put down by the whole power of the government. In performing this du ty I shall have the approbation of my own conscience, and, as 1 humbly trust, of my God. I thank you for the assurance that you will not refrain from prayer that the Almighty Uod will make my administration an exam ple of justice and beneficence. You can greedy assist me in carrying out ibis blessed consummation bv exerting your influeiioe in allaying the existing sectional excitement oh the subject of slavery, which has been productive of muofc evil and no goodl and which, if it succeed in attaining its object, would ruin the slave as well as the master.' This would be worth genuine philanthropy. • Rvary day of my life I fed inadequate I am ,fo perlcfcm the duties of my Ugh stp liop, without' continuing ia the support of the Diyipe Providence.
