The result Of the "Occoquan exploring expedition that

fine run of two three hours the expedition reached the
Colchester fats about half way up Occoquan bay,
the afternoon Of Friday where their steamer ran hard
aground and Immediately deserted by the tide which
was rapidly ebbng at the time Owing to strong head
winds and slight tides she kept in this position until

steamer aoa and could have proceeded on up the quar-

fats with low tide, they TO the conclusion taI

WAsHSaroN, March 20, 1857.
My DEAR sIR: have at your request reconsidered my

Of the office of governor OF the Territory OF Kansas In

of the Union may depend upon the selection of the nd
vdua to whom shall be assigned the task of settling the
difficulties which again surround the Kansas question:
have concluded that solemn sense Of duty to my
try requires to accept this position am brought to
this conclusion with unaffected ditRdence in my
ability but with erven hope that the overriding
Providence which has carried my beloved country through
SO many pers will now attend and direct my humble eff
forts for her welfare and that my will not be pre-
judged by any portion of my fellow-citizen ia out of
Kansas.
understand that you, and all your cabinet, cordially
concur in the opinion expressed by me- that the actual
bona tide residents Of the Territory of Kansas by fair
and regular vote unaffected by fraud violence must be
permitted in adopting their State constitution, to decide
for themselves what shall be their social institutions This
the great fundamental principle Of the ctof Congress
organizing that Territory, affirmed by the Supreme Court
Of the United States and is in accordance with the views
uniformly expressed by throughout my public career
contemplate peaceful settlement Of this question by
appeal to the intelligence and patriotism of the whole
people OF Kansas who should all participate, freely and
fully in this DECISION and by majority OF whose votes
the determination must be made the only proper and
constitutional mode of adjustment
contemplate appeal TO military power in the hope
that my countrymen Of Kansas from every section, will
submit decision of this matter by full and fair vote
of majority of the people Of that Territory II this de-
cison cannot thus be made nothing in the future for
Kansas but civil war, extending s baleiul influence
throughout the country aud subecting the Union itself to
imminent hazard &.
will GO then, and endeayor thus to djast these diff
cues in the full confidence strongly expressed by you
