The President believing that little re-

your jurisdiction of the citizens of Iowa is
confined to the limits of your own State,
still feels sOlicitous, lest your excellency
be' ONE excited and attempt some Quixotic
redress, for the real or fancied wrongs of
citizens of Iowa in Kansas, and therefore
l,viteS your attenteon to this clause in the
constitution. Art. /, Sec. 10. "No
State shall, without the consent of Con-
gress lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops
or ships OF war, in time of peace, enter
into any agreement OF compact with an
other State, or with foreign power, or
engage an 'car, unless actually invaded, or
IN such imminent danger as will not ad-
nit of delay"
Under this restriction of the constitu-
ton, the President hopes that you will
not undertake any rash or ill-considered
enterprise of a war-like character without
the limits OF your own State, but that you
will lend the influence of your example
and your counsel to maintain law and or
der in accordance with the constitution
and that you will become an efficient aid

duties of his Office.
