ofthe Republican party has been thus
far prolonged by the unnatural, intes-
tine and bloody warfare upon the plains
of Kansas, melted and nourished by
Republican leaders for party ends.

ring capital against the Democracy in

support the Constitution.
I. That the Republican Legisla.
ture promised retrenchment. They
fulfilled by relieving us of our school

ment of the public debt, and yet our
taxes are the same.
Sth. The Republicans introduced q

to have the word white struck from
the Constitution, thus placing the ne
gro on level with the white man.
Also bill to compel the foreigner to
go to the Superior courts for their
naturalization papers placing the for.

The fundamental principle ofthe
Constitution of the United States and
Of oar political institutions is, that the

We see with grief, if not with as
tonishment, that Governor Walker OF
Kansas, openly represents and pro-
claims that the President Of the Uni
ted States is employing through him
an army, one purpose Of which is 10
to,ce the pecple IF Kansas to o6ey
lars not their OaCn, nor Gthe limited
States, but laws which it is notorious,
and established upon evidence, they
never made, and rulers they never
elected.
We present, therefore, that by the
fore going your cxcellency is openly
held up and proclaimed, to the great
derogation of our national character,
as violating in its most essential par
ticular the solemn Oath which the
President has taken to support the
Constitution qfthe Union.
We call attention further to tue tact
that your excellency is, in like man
ner, held up to this nation, to all pos,
tcrity, in the attitudeot J." lecyiag .o0g

We earnestly represent to your eX-
ceIlency that we also have taken the
oath to obey the Constitution ; and
your excellency may be assured thai
we shall not refrain from the prayer
that Almighty God will make youl
administration an example Of justice
and beneicence, anG with his terrible

GENTLEMEN On my recent return
to this city. after a fortnight's absence,
your memorial, without date, was
placed in my hands, through the agen-
cy Of Mr.. llvratio King, of the Post

been intrusted. From the distinguish.
ed source whence it proceeds, as well
us its peculiar character, | have deem
ed it proper to depart from my gener'
al rule in such cases and give it al
answer.
You first assert that " the funda
mental principle of the constitution o.
the United States, and OF our political
institutions is, that the people Shal
make their own laws and elect thell
own rulers" You then express youl
grief and astonishment that | shoulC
have violated this principle, and, thro
Gov. Walker, have employed an ar
my, zone purpose which is TO- force tn
people Of Kansas to obey fG1rs no
their oecn nor Of tile United States
but laws which it is notorious, and es
tabHshed upon evidence, they neveI
made, and rulers they never elected;
And, as a corollary from the fore an
ing, you represent that | am so 90
