DEC 1O-The Administration having been
advised by telegraph, that Acting Gov. Stanton
had called special meeting of the Territorial
Legislature of Kansas, the President to-day
forthwith removed him and nominated tosthe
Senate, as his successor, Gen. Denvets, now
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs, who left WASH
ingto for the west last week. The rens n for
his removals., that MIR. Stanton has violated the
instructions heretofore given to both Governor
Walker and himself; to doing any act which
could possibly disturb the peace of that Terri
tory, but to exert all means in their power TO
preserve it. The. sole object and purpose of con
vening the Legislature, it is considered, can be
only to engender stIifcS and enbarrasS the pc
pie in voting on the slavery question in the
form proposed by the Constitution. No definite
action was taken by the Senate on Gen. Der-
ycr's nomination. 1t iSanticipated that u heated

obstructed exercise of the elective franchise.

neither action or discussion of the subject
among them.
