Kansas--Rcceot Events-Progress OF the de-
mocratic Policy OF Military Coercion.
We published yesterday the inaugural address
Of Mr., Picrees new Governor Of Kansas, Hon.
John W. Geary, together with the latest inteli-
gence Of the movements Of the border ruffians.
from which il appears that this new Governor
has commenced his official duties under The au@
pices OF another campaign for the subjugation Of
the free State settlers u the Territory by FIRE and
sword.
The inaugural Of Gov. Geary, like that Of his
friend, Nr. Pierce is a smooth-spoken document;
but all its tine promises. protestatons and exhor-
tations are rendered but sham a mockery and
an insult. in his declaration that, Ike his prede
ssors-Shannon and Woodson--he intends to
take care thar the laws (the bloody Missouri
Kansas cole) shall be faithfully executed
What are these laws which be asks the people %
Kansas so confdingly to obey, and which he
threatens them so impe.ously to enforce. We
have published some Of the beauties Of this
bloody code heretofore but to refresh the memo
RES Of our readers. we call their attention again
to few specimens. We think the following, 10
which Gov. Geary commands the obedience Of
the people Of the Territory, promise anything
but 6 millennium. in which the lion and the lamb
| shall lie down together. Among other things,
bis Missouri-Kansas code thus carefully provides
