U. MARSHAL IS LETTER TO THE CITIZENS OF
LAwRESCE.-The following is an extract of the
letter written by Marshal Donaldson to the citi-
zens of Lawrence in reply to their offer OF sunis-
sion
On yesterday received communication ad-
dressed to me, signed by one of you as PRESIDENT,
and the other as Secretary-purporting to nave
been adopted by meeting of the citizens OF Law
renee held on yesterday morning. After speak
ing of proclamation issued by myself, you state
that
leave to ask respectfully that may be reliably
informed what are the demands against us; we
desire most truthfully and earnestly to declare
that no opposition whatever will now or at any
future time be offered to the execution of any le-
you've also pledge ourselves to assist you II
called upon in the execution of any legal process,
&c.
How am to rely your pledges when am
well aware that the whole population of Lawrence
is armed and drilled, and the town fortified when,
too recolect the meetings and resolutions adopt
ed in Lawrence and elsewhere in the territory,
openly defying the laws and the officers thereof,
aud threatening to resist them to a bloody issue,
and verified in the attempted assassination of
Sheriff Jones while in the discharge of his official
duty at Lawrence? Are you strangers to all these
things Surely you must be strangers at Law
renee II no outrages have been committed by
the citizens of Lawrence against the laws of the
land, they need not fear any posse of mine, but /
must take the liberty of executing all processes in
my hands as United States Marshal in my own
time and manner, and shall only use such power
as is authorized by law. You say you call upon
the constituted authority of the Government for
protection This indeed sounds strange, coming
from large body of men armed with Sharpes ri
fes and other implements of war, bound together
by oaths and pledges to resist the laws of the Gov
eminent they call on for protection. All persons
in Kansas Territory, without regard to location
who honestly submit to the constituted authorities
will ever find me ready to aid in protecting them
and all who seek to resist the laws of the land ant
turn traitors to their country will find me aiding In
enforcing the laws, if not as an officer as citi
zen. Respectfully, yours,
J. B. DONALDSON,
MarphaI Of Tarritorv of Kansas
