Correspondence of the Now York Courier and
Enquircr.l
1t is generally understood among Sen,
ators that the nomination of Mr.. Harri-
son, successor to Judge Lecompte. will
no. again be taken up in executive ses-
sion, and that. ind ed, it will be with
drawn. My opinion Of the conduct ana
motives OF the President, in all that re-
lates to Kansas, is so bad. that II was
never intended to remove Iecompte. -
been named to Territorial Judges, the
latter have been at once dismissed. In
this instance, Lecompte goes on execu-
ting his functions as if nothing at all had
happened.
But should Gen Pierce muster cour-
age requisite to supcrscdc Gov. Geary
with a man of clear Border Fuffian :
record, there would be no doubt at all
about his removal. feel authorized 20
repeat TIE statement which | made last
summer, and which was contradicted by
Administration organs, that before ac-
ccp;ing the office of Governor, Col.
Geary did insist either that Lccomp,e
should be removed. or that he, the Gov.
should have the right to proceed in de-
tiance Of him and the fictitious laws
Col. Geary, after receiving the otfer of
the appointment, went to Lancaster and
bad an interview with Mr. Buchanan for
consultation. He informed Mr.. Buchln-
an, that upon investigation, he had becn
shocked At the barbar!ty Of the so-called
laws. and the atrocities which had been
committed under them upon the Free
State citizens, and that if he accept d,
i must be upon conditions which would
enable HIM to protect them, and admin
lister the government without being
bound by the sp rious legislation. Mr.
buchanan. as learn, approved the rcso-
luton Of Col. Geary, and Gen. Pierce.
with great reluctance, gave him the carte
blanche which was demanded. There is
no good reason to doubt that the Prcsi-
dent also promised the speedy removal
OF Lecomptc. whose seandalous injustice
was then. as now, known to be a princi-
pal cause of the disturbances in the Ter
ritory. The way in which that promise
has been fulfilled is probably the best
test of the sincerity with which it was
given.
In the relations between the Presi-
dent-elcct and the Governor of Kansas
may be found, perhaps. some indication
of his purpose in the Government of the
Territory. That such policy as is
skctchcd, or rather foreshadowed in Gov.
Geary's message must soon bring him in
to collision with the incendiary petite
ians of the South, who figured as lead
ers in the late canvas, is too plain
proposition to need illustration.
