where, by reason of the infamed state of
the public mind, false rumors and misre-
presentations have the greatest currency,
it has been assumed that it was the duty
of the Executive not only to suppress
insurrectionary movements in Kansas,
but also to see to the regularity of local
elections. 1t needs little argument to
show that the President has no such
power.
All government in the United States
rests substantially upon popular election.
The freedom of elections is liable to be
impaired by the intrusion of unlawful
votes, or the exclusion of lawful ones, by
improper influences, by violence, or by
fraud. But the people of the United
States are themselves the all-suficient
guardians of their own rights, and to sup
pose that they will not remedy, in due
season, any such incidents of civil free
dom, is to suppose them to have ceased
to be capable of self-government.
The President of the United States
