ST. LOUIS, March IL.
The Democrat publishes 4 statement re
latiye to affars in Kansas given BY Geary.
The cause Of the Governors resignation 10
in consequence of the failure of Pierce to
ful6ll pledges made to him at the time Of
his appointment.
These pledges were to support him
(Geary) with army, militia and treasury, II
necessary; but instead of receiving this aid,
he has paid $4,000 out Of his own pocket
70 support the Administration. He has been
refused military aid under the most urgent
circumstances, and thwsrted BY the Judi
ciary Of the Territory 10 every possible
manner.
The Governor states that fifty men were
under oath from the day he entered the
country till he left, 10 sssassinate him pro-
vided his official career did not meet their
approval. The Governor regrets the step
he 10 obliged to take.
He feels confident that il the promised as
,is,ance had been rendered he could have
administered the afiAirs OF the Territory in
a manner acceptable to all honest settlers.
In relation to the outrages committed by
the pro slavery party, he says the half has
net been told.
He pronounces the murder Of Botfum BY
HAYS the most cold.blooded and strocious
affair ever witnessed. His version OF the
Sherrsrd affair 10 similar to that already re.
ported. He says. however, that the account
published in the Republican over the sigma
ture of Jones, 10 . tissue Of falsehoods.
The Governor complains bitterly OF oh
struc,ions and mutations Of his correspon
dsnce. He says the mail has constantly
been opened, and al Objectionable matter
TO and from him, extracted. The Governor
thinks the adjustment Of slavery consti.
tuition inevitable.

liable sources in Costa RIGA have been re-
csived BY the George Law putting an en-
tirely different complexion on the news
which had previously besu received from

nothing, and that the Costa Ricsns retired

suffering no defeat.
Il was believed that they withdrew in

Col. Lockbridge to 60 up the river as far as

report that Castillo had been taken 10 said
to be wholly without foundation, nor had
Col Lockbridge captured four hundred ri.
