Affairs in Kansas---Cause of
Gov. Geary's Resignation.

ST. LOUIS, March l7.-The st. Louis
Democrat publi he'd statement relative
TO affairs in Kansas, given by Gov. Geary.
The cause of the resignation Of Gov. Geary
is said to have been the failure of President
Pierce to fulfill the pledges made at the
time the appointment was conferred, to
support him (Gov. G } with the power of
the army and militia. and the means of the
Treasury, if necessary; but instead of re-
ceiving this aid, he has paid $4,000 out
of his own pocket to meet the expenses of
the administration, has been refused the aid
and support Of the military under the most
urgent circumstances, and thwarted by the
Judiciary of the Territory in every posi-
bic manner. The Governor states that
not less than fifty men were under oath,
from the day he entered the territory until
he left it, to assassinate him, provided his
official career did not meet their approba-
ton.
The Governor regrets the steps he has
been obliged to take, and feels con6de mt
that had the the promised assistance been
rendered him, he could have administered
the affairs of the territory in a manner ac-
ceptable to the honest settlers OF both sides
In relation to the outragcs committed by
the pro-slavery men, he says one'half has
not been told. He pronounces the murder
Of Buffum by Hays, the most cold blooded
and atrocions affair ever witnessed. Iii;
version of the Sherrard affair is similar tc
those already published. He says, howev
er, that the account published in the Re
puGHcan over the signature of"Jo'1eS," is {
tissue of falsehoods.
The Governor complains much of tht
distractions and mutilations of his ohicio
correspondence. He says the mail bag
were constantly opened, and all objection
able matter to or from him, extracted. Il
thinks the establishment of Slavery Con
stitution in Kansas inevitable.

The Selection of the Cabinet.

There seems to have been good judg.
ment used in the Choice of the Cabinet
Officers, in view of satisfying the different
sections of the country, that would take O
natural pride in being represented. The
Norh has three members who, with its
President, may be a fair balance for the
South, with its four members and its Vice
President. If any one says the North
should have had four members and the
South three, it is replied, better be magma.
nimous and have the proportion as it is
And then the three sections Of the North
are represented in the Cabinet; New En-.
gland has a member, the middle States a
member, and the Great West MEMBER
So TOO, the sea-board Slave States are rep.
resented by two members, and the Great
South. West by the same number.

Of child which had been carried off by q
bear near Monitowoc. No traces of the
child have been discovered, and the excite

he had fed nearly every day during the
past winter, and kicked him out Of doors,
The next day his little girl, three years Of

Indian sprang out of the thicket, clasped
her in his arms, and bounded away througf
the underbrush. Pursuit was commenced
Immediately, but up to Saturday without
success, though information had been re
