received a dispatch confirmatory of the
previous advises from Utah.
All the troops of the EXPEDITION have
concentrated near Fort Bridger, and
are in comparatively comfortable

is untrue.
All the vacant lands heretofore with

of six miles on each side of the lands
granted to Iowa in 1856, for railroad
purposes, having been released, they
will be restored to private entry at the
several land offices in the State on the
18th of February.
The Secretary of War this evening
received telegraphic dispatch from
Lieutenant General Scott; dated New
York, in which the General says he
has received good news from the Utah
expedition.

question of slavery. Much less. that
portion would be invalid without such
opinion.
This would have been in opposition
to the numerous precetents which have
occurred since the adoption of the Fed
cral Constitution by the different
States.
The question of slavery was the all
absorbing question, and You were sent
to Kansas with the full confidence OF
the President, to carry out the princi-
pies of the Kansas-Ncbraska Act
With the question, whether Kansas
was to be a free or a slave State, you
were not to interfere.
You were to secure to the people OF
Kansas free and fair election to de-
eide the question for themselves.
The President was therefore happy
to learn from your dispatches to this
Department, under date the 18th OF
July last, that in all your speeches
you had refrained from expressing any
opinion a. to whether it should bc a
slave or free State.
i am instructed to inform you that
your resignation Of the Office of Gov
ernor of Kansas has been accepted.
