Having determined torestgu tbe Bxccutivo

of quiet life and Le cnjoymeai of those do
mestic comfort* of wbich I have so loug
been deprived, I deem it proj>cr to address
20 j cn t)i occasion of my departure.
The office from which I uow voluntarily
withdraw, was unsowght by uic, and at the
time of its twpoacr, was by uo means de
sirable. This was quite evident from tLe
deplorably moral, civtl and political condi
tion of the Ten itory—the dricurd, conten
tion, and deadly strife, which ibeu and
there prevailed—and ilia painful anxiety
with which <i was regarded i-y patriotic cit

such a period uud uuder aucb circumstan
ce:., wj> to assume no oruimtry responsibil

dertake the task ; uud none would have
het-B so presumptuous without serious fore-
Ludtugs as to the result. That I should
have hesitated, is no matter of astouisli
uicut to those acquainted with the faets,
but that I accepted thcuppotiitmeut, was a
weii grounded source of iegret to muuy ot

tuu t'ueu existing uuaus.
V. about discerning upou the feelings,
principles and motives which prompted rue.
suffice it say, that I accepted the i'resi
detxt's teuier of the office of Governor. Iu
liidug -o, i sacrificed the coaitorts of a home,
emleaitu by the strongest earthly ties snd
most sacred associations, to embark iu au
undertaking which presented at the Lest
but a da:k a;..] unsatisfactory prospect. 1
reached Kansas and entered ujou the dis
charge of my offiei :1 dunes iu the most
gloomy hour of her history, Desolation
slid ruin rtign'ed on every Land. Hemes
uuii firesides were deserted. The smoke of
burning dweiiings darkened the alutoi*-
phere. Wouicn au i ehildreu, driveu frooi
their habitations, wandered over the prairies
and aniong the woodland, or sought refuge
and protcetiou oveu among the Indian tribes.
The highways were infested with tiuuieious
predatory ojuU.,, and the tow us were forti
fied aud garrisui - J by armies of conflicting
partiians, vach excito-1 almost tophrenzv,
and dotcrutiucd upon mutual extermination,
fcucn was, without cxaggeratiuK, thecoudi
ijon ot ihe Territory, at the period of my
arrival. Iter treasury was bankrupt.—
There weie no pecuniary resources within
herself n meet the exigencies of the time.
The Cutigremiotiui -appropriations, intended
to defrsy she cr. j cnses of a year, were iri
iiffr.mt to u.ict the demands of a fort
mgfft. Tire laws were irii, the courts vir
tually su.vpviidod, uul ti:e civil arm of the
Goven.imut atuiost cntirelj powciriss.—
Action—prouipt, decisive, energetic action
w.-s iH-ceosary. Ihi cuco saw what was
uecdeti, and witimut hcsitalioa gave my
self iu ilk- work. For six mouths I have
labored with unceasing industry. The ac
customed oui needed hours for sleep have
been employed in the public service. Night
rnd day have official duties demanded un
letuiuiiig attcn'iiu.. I Lave Lad ao prop r
leisure inonients for rest or recreation. My
Lealll Las failed under the pressure. Nor
ibis aih to my private purse, without as
surancc of reimbursement, have 1 resorted,
in every emergency, for the required funds.
Whether these arduous services and willing
RscriSecs have been beneficial to Kinsa 15
an 1 my'country, jr.u are abundantly qual
ified to Let rrnir.. .
T:.a? I have met ai'h oppositiou and

to come in c'ojfliet with, a: least to thwart

whose sole object was notoriously personal
advancement at any saerif.ee of the gener
al good ind at every hazard, il would have
beep t idieuioua to anticipate llie meed ov

however palpable might have been toy pa
triotism, however just uiy official conduct,
or however beneficial in its results, I do
not uiarvel that uiy motives have Lccn iui

I trite the tataost recesses efthe heart, and
{ lead its secret thoughts, will approve xn v
purposes and acts Iu the discharge op
my executive fuuetions, I have invariably
sought to do equal and exact justice to all
■ men humble or exalted. 1 have eschewed
all sectional disputation, kept aloof all
party affiliations, and have alike scorned
uumerous threats ot pcrsotu-l irjurv and
violence, and the most flattering promises of
| advancement and reward.—And 1 ask and
claim uothing more for the part I have acted
tLan the simple merit of having endeavored
to perform my duty. This I have dune at
ail times, and up->n every occasion, regard
less of the opinions of men ami utterly fear
| less of consequences. Occasionally i have
| beeu forced to assume great responsibilities,
i and depend solely i poo my own resources
■ to accomplish important ends, but iu all
; such instances, I have carefully examined
J surrounding circun.sUriees, weighed well
I the probable results, and acted upon im
deliberate judgment: and iu now reviewing
i them, I aiu so well satisfied wiih iho policy
uniformly pursued, that were it to he doi. e
: over again, it should not be changed in the
j slightest particular.
| In parting with you 1 can do no less than
give you a few words of kindly advice, ami
j friendly warning. You arc well aware that
most of the troubles w. ieh lately agitated
1 the Territory, were occasioned by mau who
: had no especial interest in its welfare. Man v
I of them were not even residents, whilst it is
quite evident that other were influenced
| altogether in the part they took iu the dis
turbance by mercenary or other personal
considerations. The great body of the ac
tual ci'izens are conservative, law übidiug
and peace loving men, disposed rather to
make sacrifices for conciliation and conse
quent peace, than to insist for their entire
rights should the geucrai good theiebv be
cause Ito suffer. Some of them uuder the
j influence of the prevailing excitement and
misguided opinions, were led to the commis*
siou of grievous mistakes, but not wi'ii the
deliberate intention of doiug wrong.
A few tUv'ii resolved upon mischief, may
. keep a state of unhealthy excitement and
i involve iu fearful strife an entire community,
; This was demonstrated during the civil
commotion with which the Territory was
j couvuled. While the people generully were
I anxious to pursue their peaceful callings, a
' small couibiuatiou of crafty, scheming aui
, designing maa, succeeded, froui purely s>l
■ fish motives, in bringing upon theua a series
; of must lamentable and destructive difficul
ties. Nor ate thry sarified with the uris
j chief ulieady done. They never desired
that the present peace should be effected,
! uor do they intend that it shall continue
j if they have the power to prevent it. iu the
i constant croaking of disaffected individuals,
j iu various sections, you hear only the cx
| prcsaions of evil desires and intentions.—
; Watch, then, with a special, jealous and sus
i picious t-ye those who are continually in -
j dulgiug iu the surmises of renewed bosttit
lies. They are not the friends of Kansas.
I and tueie is tic reason to fear that some of
; them arc not only the eneuiit-sof this Terri
tory, but of the Union itself. Its dissolution
is their ardent vrl.-h, udU Kansas has beta
; stlccicd as a fit place to commence the ue
, compiiabiueut of a most ucfarions design.—
. Thesciierne has ii.us far been frustrated,
I but it has nut Let a abandoned. You are
i eutrusted uotouly with the guardianship of
tiie Territory, but the peace of the Union,
, which depends upon you iu a greater degree
than you may at present suppose.
"i ou should, therefore, frown upon fevery
effort to foment discord, and especially to
| array settlers from different sections of the
Uuiou in hostility against each other. All
' true patriots whether from the North or
South, the East or West; should unite to
gether for that which is aud must be re
garded as a common cause, the preservation
| of the Union; and he who sliail whisper a
! desire lor its dissolution, no matter what
may bo Lis pretensions, or what taction or
party he claims to belong, is unworthy of
; your confidence, deserves your strougest
reprobation, and should be branded as a
traitor to iiis country. There is a voiee
crying from the grave of ouc whose memory
| is dearly cherished iu every patriotic heart
and let it not cry in vain. It tell* you
i'.ut this aiteirpl at dissolution is no new
, thing: but, that even as early as the days
l of ou. first President, it was agitated by
uitsh.tious aspirants for place aud power.—
And if the appeal of a recent hero and
patriot was needed in his time, how much
more applicable is it now and in this
Territory.
"'i i.e possible dissolution of the Union,"
he says, "has at icnth become an ordinary
and familar subject of discussion. Has the
warning voice of Washington been forgot
ten.' or have designs already been formod to
sever the Union. L."t it not he supposed
that I impute to all of these who have ta
ieu an active pan iu these unwise and
orrpfofitable discussions, a want of patri
otism or cf public virtue. The honorable
felines of State pride and local attach
ment, find a place in tiio bosoms of lie most
cnlight-.ced and pure. Hut while such
men arc conscious cf tlietr own integrity
and Hon sty of purpose, they ought never
to forget (bat the citizens of othc. Stat-*
arc their political brcthcren: and that iiuW- '
ever mioakon they niay be in their views, ;
the great body of them arc equally Louem i
and upright with themselves. Mutual sus- ;
pieious aud reproaches may, in time create
mutual hostiiity, aud arttui aud designing :
; men will always Le found who arc ready to ]
j foment these fatal divisions, and to inflame
, the uatural jealousies of different sections
of the country. The history of the world
,is in.l of such examples, and especially the
history of this republic."
W hen I lock upon the present condition
: of the Territory, uud contrast it with what
: st was when I first entered it, 1 feet satis
! fleet ihat my administration has not been
j prejudicial to its interests. On every baud
I now pcreeiva unmistakable indications of
welfare and prosperity. The honest rcttlcr
occupies his quite dwelling, with his wile
and children clustering arcuud him, unmo
lested, and fearless of daugcr. The soli
tary traveller pursues bis Way ui.harmed'
over every public thoroughfare. The torch
iof the incendiary has been extinguished,
i and the cabins by which it was destroyed,
| have been rep.lai-ed with luoro substantial
i buildings. liordc9 of baudilti no longer lie
j!U wait in ivery ravine for plunder and
! assassination- Invasions of hostile armies
I have ceased, and infuriated partisans living
incur midst, have eoplint icaily turiu
their sivuids into plowshares, uud tboi'
spears into pruiiitig-hooks. Laboiers are
I everywher at work—fauus are undergoing
| rapid improvements —merchants are driviug
a thtiviug trade, and mechanics pursuing
with profit their various occupations Ileal
estate iu town and sountry has increased iu
| value almost without precedent, until in
soma places it is commanding prices that
uevcr could have Been anticipated. Wheth
er this he<hy and happy change is the
iccuit solely of my executive labors or not,
it certainly has occurred during my ad
ministration. Upou yourselves must main
ly depend the preservation and perpetuity
of ihe present prosperous coudunm of af
fairs. Guaid it with unceasing vigilance,
and protect it as you would your lives.
Keep down that party spirit, which, if per
mitted to obtain the mastery, must ieud t<>
desolation. i\ ateh closely' and coudeuir.
in its infancy, every insidious movement
that can pjs3igly tend to discord and dis
, uuiou. Suffer no local prejudices to disturu
| the prevailing harmouy Tj every appccl
to these, turu a deaf ear, as did the Saviour
jof men to the prouiptiugs of the deceiver,
; Act as a uuited baud of brothers, bound
! together by one commou tic. Your iuter
i cats arc the same, aud by this course aioao
can they he maintained. Fellow this, aud
| vour hearts and homes will be made lig'.i
and happy by he richest blessings of a
kind and munificent Providence.
To you, the peaceable cilitcus of Kansas
I owe my grateful acknowledgments for the
; aid -aud comfort your kind assurances and
j hearty eo-operatiou have afforded nic in
I many dark aud trying hours. You have
! ny Mi.ctri.-t thanks unci my earnest pray
j era that you uraa be abundantly rewarded
of lieareu.
To the Ladies of the Territory—the
wives, mothers, aistets, and daughters of
the hoo est settiers, I am also under a
weight <>f obiightion. Their pious pray
ers have not beeu raised in vaiu, nor their
numerous ass urat>ce of confidence in they
policy of my administration failed to exert
a .-uiutarv influence.
! And last, though not least, I inus'. not be
| unmindful of the noble men who iorm the
Military l>cpnrtuiciit of the West. To
Sen. Persifer P. Smith, and the officers
| under his command, £ return uiv thanks for
1 many vulurbie services. Although from
different parts of the Union, and naturally
imbued with sectional prejudices, 1 know of
uo instance ta which such prejudices have
j been prcmittcd to stand in the way of a
i faithful, ready, cheerful and energetic
discharge of duty. Their Conduct iu this
\ respect is worthy of univetsal counucuda
tion, and presents a tiight example lor
; those executing the civil power. The good
behavior of all the soldiers who were called
upuu to assist me, is, iu tact, deserving ot
j-especial notice—Many of those tiocp-,
officers and men, had served wuii we ou the
fieids of .Mexico, again it a foreign foe, uud
it is a source of no little satisfaction to
kuow that the laurels there won have been
further adorned by the praise worthy aluc
f rity with which they aided to allay a de
structive fratricidal strife at homo.
Wit:i a firm reliance in the protecting
! care and overruling providence of that
j Great Being who holds in his hand the
| destiuica alike of men and of nations, I bid
farewell to Kansas and her people, trusting
: that whatever eveuts iaay hereafter beiaii |
thetn, they will, iu the exercise of His wis
; doio. goodness and power, be so directed as j
to promote their own best interest and that
lof the beloveJ country of which they are
destined to form a most important part.

ber of the medical profession :
ST. P ART. January, 1, 1855.
PROFESSOR O.J. WOOD:
DEAR Sill : Unsolicited, I send you this
certificate. After nearly hiid for a long
tune, und having tried all the hi;ir restorative*
extant, and having no faith in any, I was in
duced, on hearing of yours to give it a trial.
| I placed myself ia the hands of a b.vrnir, and
! had my heal rubbed with a good stiff brush,
j and the Res: >ra:i\'u then applied and well
| rubbed iu, till the scalp w.-a aglow. This 1
j repeated every morning, and in thre- weeks
| the young hair appeared and grew rapiliy irom
j August last till the present time, and is now
j thick, black and strong—soft and pleasant to
, the touch; whereas, before, it was harsh and
j wiry, what little there was of it, iuoth.it little
I was disappearing very rvpidly. 1 stilt use your
; restorative about twice a week, and shall soon
j have a good and perfect crop ol hair. Now. I
! hit rea l of tli.-so things—and who hi* notf
i but hive not seen hitherto any case where any
person s hair was re.illv It-befitted by any.ul
i the h.ur tonic, etc., of the day; and it really
| gives tne pleasure to record tiie result of my
: experience. 1 have recommended your jtre*
I pa ration t<> . there, and it already has a targe
j and goner I i sale throughout tho Territory.—
j Tiie people hers ku<iW its ett' cis, and have
! conff i nce iu it. Tins supply yon sent us, a*
j wholesale agaiits for the Territory, is neariy
' exhausted, and daily inquiries are ma fe for it.
: You deserve credit for your discovery; at; hi,
; lor one, return vmi my thanks for th— benefit
j it has done me. for 1 had certainty despaired
; Rug ago of ever effecting such a result.
Yours, hastily, J. VV". BOND,

DKAB SIE : Having become prematurely quite
I gray, J i. iuiuccd, some six weeks since, to
! make a trial of your Restorative. I have used ;
j less than two bottles, but the gray hairs have |
I all (lis ipjHiared; and although my hair has not :
i fully attained us original color, yet the pro- i
joes of change is gradually going on, and I am 1
I iu great hopes that in a short time my hair wiF, 1
!be as dark formerly. I have also been much i
gratified at the healthy moisture an I vigor of i
this hair, winch before was harsh and dry, and
it has cased to coiue out as formerly.
