ADDRESS OF HON. +. T. STANTON, SECRETARY
AND ACTING GOVERNOR.

B he People Of The Territory Of Kansas:
FgILow-Cnizsys The Hon Robert J. Walker, present
governor of the Territory accepted his appointment from
the President upon condition that he should not be
qured to leave Washington until the llth of May next
Circumstances beyond his control rendered it impossible
for him to start before that day he may therefore, be
expected here about the middle of next MONTH and will
then the executive authority of the Territory
During the absence of the governor, by the organic
law of the Territory the whole duties and responsibilities
Of the executive are devoyed upon me by virtue of my
commission secretary. In assuming to exercise the
functions of this high Office at this critical uncturc in the
affairs of the Territory it is not inappropriate that
should briefly indicate the course which shall feel it my
duty to pursue
The government of the United States recognises the
thory Of the territorial government in all matters which
are within the scope of he organic act Of Congress and
consistent with the federal constitution hold that there
can he no other rght(u authority exercised within the
limits of Kansas, and shall proceed to the faithful and
impartial execution of the laws of the Territory by the
Use Of all the placed in my power, and which may
be Necessary to that end
The government especially recognises the territorial
act which provides for assembling convention TO form
constitution with view OF making application TO Con-
NeS for admission as State into the Union Thatact
regarded presenting the only test of the qualification
voters Tor delegates TO the conNention ana all pre-
Nng repugnant restrictions thereby repealed. In
R light the act must be allowed TO have provided for
iuli and fair expression OF the will OF the people through
ne delegates who may be chosen to represent them in the
institutional convention. l do not doubt however,
% in order TO avoid all preext for resistance to the
PEACEFUL operation Of this law, the convention itself
Sl in some om provide for submitting the great dis
atng question regarding their social institution, which
% 50 long agitated the people of Kansas, TO fair vote
all the actual bona c residents of the Territory, with
very possible security against fraud and violence If the
oahtuton be thus framed, and the question of differ
'e thus submitted to the decision Of the people, be-
"Ve that Kansas will be admitted by Congress without
ay as one Of the sovereign States Of the American
0non and the territorial authorities win be Immediately
withdrawn
need scarcely say that all the power of the territorial
"euuve will be exerted with entire mpartiality, TO
ent fraud, to suppress violence and to secure to every
1 wen lair opportunity for the safe and peaceful exer
The Washington union., 1857-05-02

else OF his elective privilege Ii will be no es the duty
than the desire and great pleasure of the gov
enor acting governor of the Territory TO carry out in
good faith the policy avowed by the President of the
United States In his recent inaugural address in which he
declares II to be he Imperative and Indispensable duty
of the Of the United States TO every
resident nhabtan the free and independent expression
of his opinion by his vote This sacred right of each in
divdual must be preserved, and 'that being accom-
plished nothing be arer than to leave the people
of Territory free from all foreign interference to decide
their destiny for themselves subject only to the
sttuton of the United States
Nothing wanting but secure the confidence Of the
people of all parties in the sincerity of the declared mten
ton of the territorial executive To carry out these princ
pies in good faith in order to induce the cooperation of
all good in the pending for adopting State
constitution The principles themselves cannot fail to be
acceptable to the sober judgment of the people and
arenty hope for the sake Of the paramount interests in
voved that the necessary confidence will not be withheld
The deporable events which have marked the history
of the Territory up to this have doubtless left their nau
raj results of emity and heart bunngs among the peo
pie and upon the criminal records of the territorial
courts Indictments have been found against many Of
those who acted in military capacity under the author
y of the territorial government for acts and al
legged be wholly illegal and unusable On the other
hand similar prosecutions have been instituted against
those who resisted the territorial authorities, and who
undertook reaae for the alleged wrongs committed
against them 1t is my deliberate opinion that in order to
promote peace and harmony and TO the future
pose OF the people, there ought 10 be general amnesty
IN reference to all those acts Doth sides which grew
out of the political contest and which not corrupy
and eoniousy committed for personal gain and to graf
ify individual malignity.
This measure if adopted at ALL ought to be adopted gen
erosy without any consideration Of the origin of the
difficulty and without question to the party which may
be responsible for the wrong 1t will involve conces
advantage to either party, but will be merely
act of clemcncy designed TO oberae, far possible,
from the hearts of the people all memory of the disastrous
and lmenabc contest which has heretofore desoated
this unhappy Territory. If it shall have that effect,
though may pardon instances of gross wrong and
outrage It will tend to calm the excited passions of the
people, and prevent similar in the future.
It will be n measure Of concation and peace, and will
leave tho people free from apprehension in the future,
so that they securely devote themselves to those m
portant labors which destined to make this Territory
great, prosperous, and happy State.
