In the first place, the Abolition Aid So
cieties in the North were TO blame for send
ing 10 Kansas set Of unprineiped aboi-
,ionists, sUorn 10 votc 10 make Kansas an ob.
CLIFTON STATE, and d,sobey The ia,os Of Kansas
which they have donel No honorable and
correct man will gainsay this.
In the second place, President Pierce COM
mitted an objectionable error in appointing
Reeder, dishonest man, and an acknowl-
edged abolitionist, the first Governor Of
Kansas, who gave every advantage to the
Abolition Aid Societies. The President is
certainly able on paper, but we must make
come allowance for the force Of education,
the philosophy Of the human mind, particu-
larly the prejudice Of education, on the
youthful mind, which is not overcome in
subsequent life, unless man be very ex-
traordinary person indeed! Hence the Pres
ident could not be made TO believe that Lane
and his abolition aid societies, were making
inroads OH the peaceable law and order reo-
pie of Kansas, driving them from their i'm
provemsnts, and in many instances burning
their houses, and even numbering them
Notwithstanding this information was herald
ed 10 his ears, he could not or would not
believe that the aboitionists were setting
the laws Of Kansas at defiance, driving the
law and order citizens of the Territory from
their improvements, ard in a number of in.
stances numbering them.
But without any more mments on the
subject. The fact is, that Lane and his ma
rauding coadjutors have set the laws Of Kan
sss at defiance, driven pro-slaaery men from
their improvements, and this they have done
throughout the territory. At length the
President has been aroused from his leth-
orgy, and has issued an order. that ought 10
have been done six months ago, which If it
had then been done, would have prevented
all the disasters, even 10 civil war.
Under all these grievances, our friends
in Kansas have remonstr aied, but without
the necessary redress. AT length they have
asked aid from their friends IN Missouri
This aid has not been asked for in vain, Mis-
sourians have sent them both men and mon-
ey. How did we furnish this ad9 Ii was
not directly authorized by any law of Con-
gress, nor by any law Of the States, yet not
forbidden by either, but we have thrown
ourselves on the 'reseruen rights Of the States
or the people," The constitution expressly
says: '.The powers not delegated TO the U.
States BY the constitution, nor prohibited by
j, to the States, are reserved TO the States
respectively or 10 the people" that is TO The
people cfMe States!
Let it be known, Just at this junctnre,
President Pierce, when the chivalrous Mis-
aourians and Kansans, were within three
miles of Lawrence,an express was received
from the Presidents new GovernorGeary,re-
,pectlully asking an interview with tht
patriotic Safes rights troops, which inter
view was acceeded to! The Governor
proposition was, that lie be permitted, by
Tie ail of the Kansas Militia and the U. S
troops 10 drive tie outlaw Lane and his ban
ditii out Of the Territory. This proposition
after council Of war, was reluctantly a
grsed to, piih the prouiso, that several com
panies Of the chIYairous citizen soldiers o
Missouri be retained in Kansas to guard thu
improvements of the Kansans, who had beef
driven of, and 10 invite them to return {
the Territory.
We are sorry for one thing, and that is,thu
our chivalous troops did not when within
three miles of Lawrence, conquer peace,
by driving Lane and his outlaws ont Of tn
Territory, and not permit the recently ar
pointed Governor to wear the laureIs.-
However, what our noble and chivalrous al
my did not accomplish by their arms, the
have done by diplomacy, they have bOun
the Presidents new Governor, not only t
drive Lane and his lawless crew out of Kar
sas, but they have exacted promise frOl
him, that he would guard the possessions
the Law and Order settlers, with the Mi
ssouri and Kansas Militia, in order that the
may be permitted TO return 10 their hom'
and improvements.
Let in be borne in mind, that this is II
second time that the constitution and Il
Union have been saved by resort to Il
"rsseycsd rights Of States or The people, III
