Gov. Geary Resigns-Pasf state
ments Observation-Disclosures
confirmed.
The Galena Gazette Of 18th inst, con-
tain. our latest news from Kansas BY way
of the ST. Louis Democrat:
st. Louis, March II.
The Democrat publishes statement re-
latiye to affairs in Kansas, given BY Gov.
Geary. The cause Of Gov. Geary's resig-
nation is in consequence of the failure Of
Mr.. Pierce to fulfil pledges made to him
at the time he accepted the office. These
pledges were that he would support him
lGeary) with the army militia and treas.
ury, if necessary, but instead of giving this
aid, he has paid twelve thousand dollars
ont Of his own pocket TO support the ad-
ministration. He has been refused militia
nv aid under the most trying circumstances,
and thwarted by the judiciary in evcrss
possible manner.
The Governor states that fifty men were
under oath from the day he entered the
country till he left, to assassinate him, pro-
vided his official career did not meet their
approval. The Governor regrets the steps
he is obliged to take. He feels confident
that if the promised assistance had been
rendered he could have administered the
affairs of the Territory in manner accsp-
table to all honest settlers. In relation to
the outrages committed by the pro slavery
party, he says the half has not yet been
told. He pronounces the murder of Buf.
fun by Hays the most cold blooded and
atrocious affair ever witnessed. His YER
sion of the Sherrard affairs is similar to
that already reported. He says, however,
that the account published in the Repub-
lican over the signature of Jones as a tissue
of falsehoods.
The Governor complains bitterly of OBJ
structions and mutilation of his correspon-
dence. He says the mail has constantly
been opened, and all Objectionable matte r
to and from him extracted.
The Governor thinks the establishment
of slavery Constitution inevitable.
News OF THE AFTERNooN-The joint
standing committee OH Federal relations,
in the Massachusetts Legislature, reported
in the House on the l4th, In favor Of APP
propriating 100000 to be expended, if
necessary, for the relief Of settlers in Kan
sas who may be submitted to outrage or
reduced to want in consequence of their
prediction for free institutions.
MINNESOTA LEGIsLATURE.-The Min
nesota Legislature have adjourned, to the
great relief and rejoicing, we Judge, of the
people Of st. Paul. The Times remarks
on the occasion: sThe whole session has
been one of the most nharmonious nature,
and we are glad the scene is over. No
body regrets the return of the members to
their homes-the only wish is that they
may stay there's"
From the proceedings with regard to
the removal of the Capitol, we infer that
the opponents Of the movement contrived
to keep the original bill, which passed both
Houses, away from the Governor so that
he did not sign it; but the friends of the
measure passed another bill for the same
purpose, which he did sign. The Mime
sotian says, that $50 far as the validity of
the law or the bill that. passed is concern
ed, it is not worth the paper that it is writ
ten on, and no one knows this fact better
than Willis A. German" > Galena Ga
