Telegraphed expressly for Daily Gazette
Proclamation by the President.

MISUNDERSTANDING forth thatindcattons ek.
list that public tranquility and the supreme.
cy OF the law in Kansas is in danger BY the
reprehehslbie acts and purposes of persons
both within and without the Territory, who
purpose to direct aud control it's political
organizations by force: that combinations
have been formed therein to resist the ex-
erutiaG OF the territorial laws, and thus to
subver, BY violence all the present con-
s,itutional and legal authority; that persons
residing without the Territory but near its
borders contemplated armed intervention in
the a.iairs OF Kansas, and that therefore
other inhabitants Of remote States are col
lecting and engaging men and providing
arms for the same purpose; that conbna-
tons within the Territory by the agency of
emissaries and other means, to induce indi
yidual states Vt the Union to interfere with
the affairs thereof, in violation Of the con
stitution of the U s.; that the plans for
the determination Of the future institutions
of the Territory, if carried into execution,
will constitute the fact OF Instruction and
Of invasive aggression, and will 10 either
case justify and require the forcible inter.
position OF the power Of the General Gov
ernment, as well as to the maintenance
OF the laws thereof.
The President therefore commands all the
persons engaged in unlawful combinations
against the constituted authority of the ter
ritory of Kansas to dispense and retire
peaceably to their respective abode., and
warns oil such persons that any attempt at
Instruction in the Territory or aggressive
intrusion into the same will be resisted not
only by the local militia, but also by any
available force Of the u. s. troops, to the
end of assuming immunity of violence and
full protection to persons and property and
the civil rights Of peaceable and law abiding
inhabitants Of the Territory.
If in any part Of the Union the feried fac
ton Of fanaticism infamed into disregard
of the general principles Of popular sove-
rcignty, which under the Constitution are
fundamental in the structure of our institu.
tons, if it brings on the country the dire ca
lamity OF the arbitarament of arms in that
territory, 1t shall be between lawless vio-
lence on the one side and conservative force
on the other, welded by the legal authority
of the general government.
The President calls on the citizens OF both
the adjoining and distant States to abstain
from unauthorized intermeddling with the
local concerns of the territory and admon-
ishing them that its organic law is to be ex-
ecuted with impartial justice and that all
individual acts OF illegal interference will
incur condign punishment.
