/ Of rultiin-, Of Whatever party,
Win regard to the enactment Of the local

ernor says The bona fde inhabitants of the
[ territory alone are charged with the solemn

| On this point let there be perfect unity OF
sentiment It's the first great step towards

idence amongst ourselves, and insure the
respect of a whole country. Let us show
ourselves worthy and capable Of self govern
ment Do not the inhabitants of tins Fern
tory better understand what domestic instltu-
tons are suited 10 their condition - whi,

! right of seli-government, this privilege guar
! auteeG TO Us by the organic law Of our Ter
/ rltory ! Will uphold with all my might and
with the entire power committed to me
In relation to any changes of the laws of
| the territory which may deem desirable,
/ have no occasion now 10 speak, but these are
/ subjects to which shall direct the public
attention at the proper time.
The territory Of the United States is the
common properly Of the several States, or OF
tho people thereof This being so, no obsla-
Gle should be interposed to the freq selte-
menl Of this commOn property while IN ter
rltoral condition.
cheerully admit that the people Of this
territory, under the organic act, have the alb
solute right OF making their municipal laws
aud from citizens who deem themselves ag-
grleyed by recent legislation, ! would invoke
the utmost iorbearanee,and point out to them
a sure aud successful remedy.
You have the right to ask the next Lagls-
laiufe TO revise any, and all laws, and 10 the
meantime, as you value the peace of the ter
rtOry, and the maintenance Of future laws,
! would earnestly ask you to refrain from all
violations OF the present statutes, | am sure
there ID patriotlsn sufficient IN tho people Of
Kansas, to lend a willing obedience TO the
law. Al the provisions OF the Constitution
of the United States must be sacredly observ-
ed oil tho acts of Congress having refer
ence to this territory must be unhesltatlngly
obeyed, aud the decisions OF our Courts re-
speeted.
II viii be my imperative duty to see that
these suggestions are carried into effect. In
my official actions here, will do iu,ilco at
all hazards
