sevcrmor Geary's Message.


Next to the forthcoming Inaugural ofthe Pres
ident elect no State paper will be read with more
interest then Gov. GEARF's Message.
In the passage Of the Nebraska Act it was
claimed by the opposition that the intention of
that measure was to make Kansas slave State,
and all through the campaign the turmoil in that
Territory created by themselves was pointed to
as q confirmation strong of this pro. o.slavery de-
sign. On the other hand the Democracy denied
any such intension and eonten led that the Ne
braska Bill II left to be executed according to its
true meaning would result in Kansas as it had
in Nebraska in establshiT 6 free State. This
was the issue and almost the sole issue OF the
last campaign. AS soon as the election was over
and there were no longer any political reasons for
keeping up an excitement in Kansas, matters as
umed their natural course and peace now reigns
throughout its borders. Every prediction and
pledge fthe Democratic party has been realized
to the fullest extent and there is no fears in the
Territory nor out Of it that Kansas can ever be-
come Slave State.
This message of Gov. GAARY fully carries out
md confirms the entire Democratic doctrine On
this snijsct, lsays the Plaindeater) and puts to
shams and confusion all the foolish fears and hol-
low howlings Of the screecher party.
Read the massage and hand it to your fusion
neighbor, fornot fusion paper in the land will
dare to publish an official document that SO aaty
gives the lie to all their railngs.

third reading in the House of Representatives,
removing the Capital to Douglas City, point
in the interior of the Territory. The citizens
of Omaha City, having their fortunes AMI their
all invested in the present Capital, assembled
en- p,qsse, took possession Of the lobbles AMI en-
deayored to overawe and intimdate a majority
of the members by personal threats! A com
mlttee was appointed from the council and
House of Representatives to call on Governor
lizard, and to request corps Of militia, (com-
posed of citizens outside of Oml lha,) to encamp
around the Halls of Legislation in order to pro-
tect members in the discharge of their duties,
from injury and threats from the citizens Of O.
maha The Governor proceeded to the rolls and
made q conciliatory speech to the members, and
endeavored by his personal influence to restore
quiet and order among the citizens and mem
bsrs Of the Legislature. After the speech o
the Governor was delivered, the House ther
proceeded to the business of removing the Cap
ital, and at the time our informant wrote, thu
main question was being STAYED off by collatera
questions, in order to gain time, and in thu
meantime large sums of money were offered
members for their votes. Great country that
