Army in Kansas Instructions.


The following correspondence was com
municated to the Senate by the President
last week, in reply TO resolution of the
Senate requesting information as to the ma
ture of certain instructions issued 10 militia
ny officers in the Territory of Kansas:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WAsHINoroN, February 10, 1856.
SIR: The President has, by a proclama-
tion, warned all persons combined for IN
surrection or invasive aggression against
the organized Government Of the Territory
OF Kansas or associated TO resist the due ex-
ecution of the laws theirin, TO abstain from
such revolutionary and lawless proceedings;
and has commanded them TO dispense and
retire peaceably to their respective abodes,
on pain OF being resisted by his whole con-
stitutional power of the Government.
If, therefore, the Governor Of the Terri
tory, finding the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings and the powers vested in the
. United States marshals inadequate for the
suppression of insurrectionary combinations
or armed resistance 10 the execution Of the
law, should mako requisition upon you 10
furnish military force TO aid him in the
performance of that official duty, you are
hereby directed to employ for that purpose
such part of your command as may, in your
judgement, consistently be detached from
their ordinary duty.
In executing this delicate function of the
military power of the United States you
will exercise much caution to avoid, if pos
sible, collision with even insurgent citizens,
and will endeavor to suppress resistance to
the laws and constituted authorities by that
moral force which, happily in our country,
is ordinarily sufficient to secure respect Ia
the laws Of the land and the regularly con-
stituted authorities of the Government
You will use a sound discretion as to the
moment at which the further employment Of
the military force may be discontinued, and
avail yourself Of the first opportunity 10 re-
turn with your command to the more CRATE
full and prouder service Of the soldier--thai
Of common defence.
For your guidance in the premises you
are referred to the acts Of February %
1895, and March 3, 1907, (see Military
Laws, pages 30l and 1913, and to the pro
clamation of the President, copy OF which
is herewith transmitted.
Should you need further or more specific
instructions, or should, in the progress u
events, doubts arise in your mind as to thc
course which it may be proper for you t,
pursue you will communicate directly will
this Department, stating the points upol
which you wish to be informed.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant

AsHINGToH, May 70, 1906,
STA: Your letter of the 18th inst, this
day submitted to me by the Adjutant Cen
eral, has been read, with its enclosures.
You have justly construed your instruc-
tons and your course is approved. The
zeal manifested by you TO preserve order
and prevent civil strife between our fellow
citizens in Kansas receives full commenda-
ton; but you have properly refused TO in
terpose the military power Of the United
States except under the circumstances and
conditions contemplated in your instruc-
tions, authorized by the laws of the United
States, and warranted by the genius Of our
political institutions. 1t will be equally
within your province to maintain the SUI
premacy Of the law and the duly authorized
government of the Territory, from what
ever source they may be assailed, whenev-
er the Government shall require your aid
in the manner specified in your instructions;
and for the great purpose which justities
the employment of military force, it mat
tiers not whether the subversion of the law
arises from denial OF the existence of the
government, or whether it proceed from q
lawess disregard of the right to protection
Of persons and property for the security Of
which the government was ordained ant
established.
Very respectfully, your Obedient ser.

Mn. CRIrTENDEN ON THE NATuRALIzA-
TIoN LAws.--Intee Senate, Mr. Crittenden
presented petition from citizens Of the
United States, setting forth that the repeal
Of the naturalization laws at this time would
tend TO remove the cause of many grievan-
ces, strengthen our republican institutions,
and advancethe cause of humanity.
On presenting this memorial Mr.. Crit
tenden took occasion to descant on the
threatened evils from the vast influx of for
eigners of late years into this country. In
the earlier stages of our history, when but
few came and mixed with our people, nc
such danger existed; but now. when they
came by hundreds Of thousands every year
sufficient in little while 10 form States
larger in population than Kentucky, all
must admit that this was an evil that ought
to be corrected. The election Of Presi.
dent of these United States was matter il
which it was never intended that any Other
than American citizens should ever inter.
fere. He intimsted that it was reflection
upon us when this foreign vote was sought
to control our elections. He entertained
no unfriendly feelings to foreigners. Or
the contrary, he would receive them with
hospitality and treat them with kindness; il
was not that he loved them less, but that he
loved his country and her institutions more

WrSpnAM ROBERTSON, Esq.-Sir: |
have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the Odd ult., transmitting a
copy of the preamble and resolutions adopt
ed by the Wing Convention of Virginia.
lately assembled at Richmond, by which
that intelligent and patriotic body recon-
mended TO their Wing brethren throughout
the State to yield to my nomination for the
Presidency their active and jealous sup
port.

date of another party, ! yet receive this re-.
commentator with gratitude and pride. !
feel that it is made, not because the princi-
pies of the two parties are identical, nor
with view Of merging them in each other
for such an object is eXpressl y disclamed
by the Convention-but because the prin-
ciples which my nomination represents APP
proach more nearly 10 those maintained by
the Wings of Virginia than those OF any 9TH
er candidate; and because, a. the Conven-
ton was pleased to say, of their confidence
in my late administration of the Govern
ment.
Whatever may be our differences Oh mi
nor subjects, am sure there is one on
which we agree-and that one a. this mo-
ment is paramount TO all others. alude
10 the preservation of the Union of these
States, and the rescuing the country from
sectional strife. The question is not so
much, how shall the Government be admin
stered, as how shall it be presei we'd; and
on this great, vital question, National Dem
ocrats and Union-oving Americans NAV
well act in concert. On this basis, ! shall
with great pleasure receive the votes of all
who have confidence in my integrity and
ability, and who ask no other pledge than
my past service for my future conduct
This position seems 10 me alike honorable
TO all. No principle is sacrificed No de-
ception is praeteed; and trust that no one,
casting his vote for me on this ground, will
ever have cause 10 regret il.
With many thanks for the flaltering man.

Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad.

The Hannibal Messenger, of the 2lst,
says: We have been out TO the end of the
track at least ten perhaps twelve miles be-
yond Palmyra. Construction trains run
daily from Palmyra, and before the end Of
the present season twenty five miles beyond
Palmyra will be laid, stations fixed, from
whence our friends can bring their surplus
produce TO market, instead of hauling il
through the mud as heretofore. Already
these construction trains are becoming very
convenient to the neighborhoods through
which they pass, by affording opportunities
of easy and frequent visits to Palmyra
However slowly the great work may have
progressed heretofore, in justice to the con-
tractors and others interested, we must say
that it has been prosecuted with energy du'
ring the present season. This prosecution
of the road has restored confidence in The
work to a considerable extent, and it i.
hoped and believed that nothing will occur
hereafter to hinder or delay it; and that i
will yet be completed in reasonable time.
