Another Letter from GOV. shannon.
Governor Shannon has addressed letter
to the Herald Of Freedom, in Kansas, yindica-
ting himself against the various charges made
by that press.
We copy the most interesting portion Of the
letter: II.
"It is proper that should say that entirely
concur in the opinion expressed by the supreme
court in relation to the power or right Of the Legs
lature to adjourn their sessions from the city Of
Pawnee to the Shawnee Mission. This proposition
believe to be capable Of moral demonstration, but
shall not go into an argument OF this question at
this time. I.
ut follows from what have said that ! was
bound to consider and treat the Legislature as a
legal body; and that if right In this, their acts,
passed within the scope Of their power, were bind
ing alike on the officers and citizens Of the Terri
tory If these premises correct 1t follows also,
that all public meetings or movements on the part
of the citizens Of the Territory which do not look
to change Of these laws In legal or regular way,
but to notification and resistance to the enforce
ment and execution of them, are unauthorized, and
calculated TO excite riots, brooches Of the peace,
disorders Of the most alarming and fearful charac
ter and to lead to measures subversve of the very
framework Of civil government. .
sit was in view Of movements of this kind that
remarked in my Westport speech that regret
ted to see disposition on the part Of some Of the
citizens Of the Territory TO nulfy the Legislature,
and all the laws passed by that body. Az an ex-
ecutivs officer, have nothing to do with the ex-
pediency or inexpediency of laws that have actu-
ally been passed by competent authority that be-
longs to the Legislature not to either the judicial
or executive departments Of the government II
laws have been passed by the Legislature, not
within the scope Of their legal authority, the judi
! cia department furnishes plain and adequate
remedy; II they have passed laws within the scope
of their legal power, but which oppressive the
| remedy Is TO be found at the ballot-box. Nothing
win justify revolutionary movement unless Il Is
great and extrsordinory oppression, and then only
after all peaceful remedies have been tried, and
failed have now said all desire to say In rela-
ton to my remarks at Westport and In vndication
Of their correctness Ny sole object Is to set my
self right before the public"
