GOV. GEARY,S RESPONSIBLE.
ADDRESS.
Gov. Geary, in his address, says:


Gov. Geary. in bis address. says:
"In parting with you. ] can do no less
than give you a few words of kindly ad-
vice, and even Of friendly warning. You
are well aware that most of the troubles
which lately agitated the Territory were
occasloned by men who had no especial
interest in its welfare. Many of them
,oere not epen residents, whilst it is quite
evident that others were Influenced alto.
gether in the part they took in the dis.
turbances by mercenary and other per-
sonal considerations The GREAT BODY
oP THE ACTUAL CITIZENS ARE CoNsERvA-
TIVE, LAw-ABIDING AND PEACE LOVING
MEN, DISPOSED RATHER TO MAKE sACRIFI
cEs FOR CANCELLATION AND CONSEQUENT
PEACE, THAN TO INSIST FOR THEIR ENTIRE
RIGHTS, SHOULD THE GENERAL GOOD THERE
BY BE CAUSED TO SUFFER. Some of them,
under the influence of the prevailing
opinions, were led to the commission Of
grIevous mistakes, but not with the de-
liberate intention Of doing wrong"
The great body" of which the Gov
ernor here speaks, even Mr.. Dennison
will not deny, has reference to the Free
State party-the same men he so ear
nestly abused last fall and summer-be
cause the Governor means by the term,
the majority, and if the .Vind;eotor of
April Sd, 1857, (the same containing the
Governors Address) is to be, or can be
believed, his own words establish that
fact. If We are correct here, then Gov.
Geary sustains the Free Soilers or Black
Republicans. just as the Republicans have
said, whether Geary's name is to it or
not. But hear Mr.. Tindicotor on this
point. In his argument for - Free Kan
sas," he says: aa
"We dothink that there is, and in fact
the Republican Journals, from the Ty;-
6une down; admit that large noioritv oil
the settlers are in favor OF making Kan
sas Free State"
Here the Vindicator admits that the
Free State men are in the ueor;ty.-
Gov. Geary says that same majority
the great body of actual settlers-are
law abiding and peace-loving citizens.--
Now who darkened the atmosphere with
the smoke of burning residences Who
sent the women and children for mercy to
the camps sfthe white mans most dread
ed foe, the merciless savage? Answer
this. Mr.. Tsndtcator, and then, after do
ing SO, sit down calmly, and, after ma
ture deliberation, ask yourself whether
you cannot make out clearly that Geary' s
Address, as it itappeared in your columns,
is all low, base Black Republican lie
We think you can.
We have been charged by the Vindi-
Gator and kindred sheets of being Disun-
ioaists. Hear what Geary says regard.
ing that charge:
A very few men, resolved upon mis-
chief, may keep in state of excitement
and involve IN fearful strife an entire com
munity. This was demonstrated during
the civil commotions with which the Ter
ritory was convulsed. While the people
generally were anxious to pursue their
peaceful callings. snalf combinations of
crafty, scheming and designing men suc-
ceeded, from purely selfish motives, in
bringing upon them series of most la
mentable and destructive difficulties.
Nor are they satisfied with the mischief
already done, They never desired that
the present peace should be effected nor
do they intend that it shall continue, if
they have the power to prevent it. In
the constant croakings Of disafftcted in.
divlduals in various sections, you hear
only the expressions Of evil desires and
intentions. Watch, then, with special,
jealous and suspicious eye those who are
continually indulging surmises of renew
ed hostilities. They are not the friends
oil Kansas, and there is reason to fear
that some of them are not only the ene-
mics Of this Territory, but Of tie Onion It.
self. Its dissolution IS their ardent utsh.
and Kansas has been selected as a fit
place to commence the accomplishment
OF most nefarious design. The scheme
has thus far been frustrated +; but it has
not been abandoned. Yon are entrust.

this Territory, but the peace of the Tn.

ence, undoubtedly. to the pro-slavery
party, for they have always commenced
or renewed hostilities.'' He saws
I" They are not the friends of Kansas !"
meaning, of course. to Kansas BECOMING
a Free State, for slavery is curse to any
State, and he who desires it's extension
over Kansas, is, of course, not friend of
Kansas. He further adds that they are
enemies of the Union itself, and sits dis.
solution is their ardent wish!'' The
Republican party contend as strongly for
the preseryation of the Union as they do
for the Freedom Of Kansas, while South.
