Nebraska Act. With the question whether
Kansas was to be q free or slave State. you
were not TO interfere. You were to secure TO
the people of Kansas a free and fair cleo

The President was therefore happy to learn
from your dispatches to this Department, of
July last, that in al your speeches you had
RETAINED from expressing any opinion as to
whether it should be slave or free State.
am instructed to inform you that your re-
signation is accepted.
Your obedient servant,
LEWIS CASS."
Among the documents presented 10 the
Senate is Cass's letter to Gen. Denver. At
ter referring to the dismissal of Stanton for
converting the Legislature. he says: From
these views You will readily understand
what the President regards a. the chief duty
which devolves upon you as Stanton's sue
cessor. This duty is to preserve peace in
Kansas. Every person entitled under the
Constitution ought to have access to the polls
and De free from all restrictions whatever in
the exercise of the elective franchise.
Ii the civil power is found insufficient for
this purpose. the troops of the United States
should be employed in aid OF it; and it may
be wise precautior to have them stationed
in advance within reach Of those places
where, in your judgement, their services are
likely 70 be in requisiton. 1t is earnestly
hoped that the use OF the military power may
be wholly avoided. Violence is always les
likely to occur when the means are known TO
% at hand for its prompt suppression.
Should the military force become absolutely
necessary to keep the peace, you will find
full instructions with reference I, the proper
mode OF employing it in my communication
to Gov. Walker.
