Let Everybody Read it,

The Shams of this State constantly r;d;c,ts the testimony of the thousands of witnesses to Kansas outrages. They have inhumanly sheer. ed at the bloody corpses of murdered frecmcn and jeered at all who spoke of Bleeding Kan. sas." When Reeder became disgusted with the conspricy of ruffians in Kansas and Wash. ton, and despairing of justice from his party er the President, broke out in condemnation of the unparalleled despotism of the slave breed. ing democracy, the dogs of the party were let loose upon him, and the witness whom thev could not contradict, they attempted to destroy. Even poor, drunken Shannon failed to satisfy the rufians-not that he loved whisky more. but that he loved slavery less. Aud now. Geary, who was sent with flourish of trhm. pets as the great peace-maker can hold his tongue no longer. How long will honest mer consent to be deceived by this miserable cant of the whippers-in, and overseers of modern de- mocracry.
 We have never trusted much in Geary nor shall we in any man whom Buchanan may send there. but we are gratifed to see party drill has not taken his manhood entirely away |.
 The St. Louis Democrat publishes a state- ment of the affairs of Kansas given by Cover nor Geary. From this it appears that the cause of Gov Geary's resignation was the fail nre of President Pierce to fulfill the pledges made at the time of his (Geary's) appointment: These pledges were to support him an army of militia at the expense of the public treasury, if necessary-bnt instead of receiving this aid he has paid $l2 900 out of his own pocket--the administration having refused military support under the most urgent circumstances, while lie was thwarted by the judic ary of the territory in every possible manner. The governor states that fifty men were under oath to assasinstc him, provided lis official conduct did not meet their approbation. He regrets that he has been obliged to resign but feels confident that had the promised assistance been rendered, he could have administered the affairs of the ter- ritory in manner acceptable to honest settlers of both sides.
 In relation to ohtrages committed by pro. slavery men, he says one-half has not been told, He pronounces the murder of Buifum by Hayes the most cold-blooded and atrocious affair ever ! witnessed. His version of the Sherrard affair is similar to those already reported. The gov- erner complains bitterly of the obstruction and mutilation of correspondence He says that the mail bags are constantly opened, and all oh- jectionahle matter, to or from him, extracted, He thinks the establishment of Q slavery con. stitution inevitable.
 Governor Geary's farewell address to the people of Kansas is also published. It Is sketch of the Governors administration, setting forth the previous and present condition of the territory, and recounting the difficulties and endorsements that have been thrown in his way. He says the great body of the people are conservative, and that they are willing to make sacrifices for peace. The troubles ii, the Territory have been accustomed by ambitious schemers with no special interest in the Territo- rvs welfare, who never desired peace and who will not allow it to continue if they can prevent it.
 The Governor left St Louis for the East on the morning of the 17th Sectetary Woodson is acting as Governor.
