On the 4.h inst. Gov. Geary forward.
ed his resignation Of the Governorsaip Of
Kansas TO W ash,ng,cn, and few days
thereafter issued a''FareweH A address, 20
the People OF Kansas. which will be found
IN succeeding column. 1t is In very
temperate spirit, and the Governor evi.
DENLY aims to dsal impartlally with both
parties in the Territory. He int,mates
that certain restless. iactious spirits have
been busy in the work Of mischlef, while
the grea, body Of the people are quie,
ami orderly. bu, he does no. tell Us who
they are. Considering that he was add.
ressing the people of Kansas alone, per-
haps II was WISE not to do SO; but be was
under no such feeling OF reserve in his
COMMUNICATIONS to It. Louis Democrat,
telegaphic report Of which has already
been presented 10 our readers. In the
full Statement, now before us. there are
several new facts in relation to the diff
failute OF the Government 10 second his
efforts for proper administration OF the
affairs of ,he Territory.
Besides the want of money, already
referred to. Gov. Geary was refused a
detachment of two companies of cavalry,
for which he applied nder the most ur-
geut circumstances, and received the
naughty answer from the officer m COM
mand tAa, the army OF the United States
was not employed to protect him. In
addition, the judiciary of the Territory,
as well as the military of the Govern.
men, refused TO support him. Judge
Lecomple thNar,ed hun on all occasions,
and having the means to execute his
| judicial DEGREES. was enabled TO overrul"
ann In every important measure. Again
throughout his whole officul career, he
has been an objec. OF hatred 10 an organ
lzed and sworn band OF conspiralors il
the Territory. He states tina, fifty men
were under oath from the day he entered
the country until he left it, TO assassinate
hiu, provided his Official career shouic
devia,e from thai course which they had
marked out for him. HIS life thus in
constant jeopardy; the judiciary bitterly
opposed to him, the military inactive anc
stubborn, aud the government withou
money or means OF any kind he wa!
necessarily compelled 10 decline.

he despatched to Washington at reeuIa
intervals, for the information of,he Gov
ernnent, but many oi his dispa,ehe.
never reached their destination. The
mail bag, he says. were constantly open
ed aud all communications 10 and iroH
in systematically overheauld. and il,
Objectionable. abstracted. Mr. Nc
Claim, Caiet Clerk in the Survey
Generals office, boastcd OF lae fact, ant
stated that he himself had destroyed anl
suppressed two bushels of mail matter
From this ate of facts, II i. eviden
that Gov. Geary had no alternative bu
TO resign his office. A must admi. tina
he has been treated in a very shabh,
manner by the powers at Washington
President Pierce did, indeed. on his ur
gent representation, nominate Mr.. Har
rson ot KY, to supplan, Judge Lecomple
but he never sent supeTsedeas TO tn
latter. while the shareholders III the sen
ale talked against time whene er th
nomination of Harrison was called UP
ard SO conuived TO kill IL without ,akIn
a vote. And the new President has thu
far evinced no disposition 10 act NOR
energetlcally then the old one. 1t is ro
ported that he will try to persuade Gov
Geary to withdrew his resignation, bu
as majority of his Cabinat are in favo
oil Sustaining Judge Lecompte and hl
associates, 1t seems proba ble that kansa
, IS destined 10 have new Governor les
favorable to freedom then Lov. Geaa
has proved himself.
