About two weeks ago, Mr. Gordon, Assistant

manifested by his friends and the community in

late Special Message.
The Detroit Free Press, the organ of General
Cass, is out against III, Presidents late Kansas
Message. 1t condemns, in n manly tone, and
| with 4 degree of independence that is really re-
(reshing, the tone, spirit and doctrines Of that
disgracciul document. and in this condemna-
ton. it but expresses the universal sentiment of
the entire North, and the better Judgment of a
| majority of the people Of the South:
We DO not propose to examine the pow ers of
the President in the premises. The obligation
rests upon him TO see that the laws are faithfully
executed, and We know that the Kansas
law has not been faithfully executed, but palpa-
bly, annulled. He may not have been possessed
of direct and explicit power to review the adiu-
dication of Governor Recdcr but in the con>ti-
tutional exercise OF his general obligation TO en-
force the execution Of The laws, he might per
haps, without Violence have deduced authority
10 project the people Of the Territory against
the consequences OF usurpation by tie Execu-
tive appointed over them, if not agains. hostile
invasion. At any rate, if he could not find the
least legal authority TO project the people of
Kansas in their guaranteed rights there VAS no
necessity Of T8oTdi"g aid and comf0Tt 10 the
Missouri taeGIsrS. who DESTROYED those rights
ny arguing, III Il SltCidi message 10 congress, the
legitimacy of the invaders Legislature And if
as the President declares, "whatevcr lrreeulari-
ties may have occurred in the elections it seems
TOO late now to raise iiat question: it puzzles us
to divine why he should himself have raised the
question in his special message.
1t may be, and probably is too late TO raise it,
for any practical good purpose. Bat Ihc Pres
