The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1857-05-14
tfsaIrs In Kansas.

We present below, the correspondence be-
tween few file leaders OF the abolition
stripe in Kansas, and Secretary STANTON.
They actually ask the Secretary to become
dictator; to set aside laws and make new
ones. Ills answer is, We think, conclusive.
But We invite the attention Of our reader 10
the whole correspondence:
the ABoLIrioNisrs TO STANTON.
LAWRENCE, X T.. April 18th.
Hon. +. Stanton. Acting Governor X aIlsas
Territory.
DEAR Sir: 10 your address TO the people
OF Lawrence last evening, We understood
you TO say in substance that you would en-
force the laws enacted by the Legislature
elected by the people Of an adjoining State
until they should be repealed; also if the
laws are unjust or distasteiul our remedy Is
the ballot box.
History has indelibly recorded the tact
which Gen. Macean admitted, in our pres
encc, last evening, that the ballot box was
taken from the people Of Kansas Territory
on the 30th March, 1855, and has not to
this day been returned. From that time
until the present the whole ncon,e have b,J
no voice Whatever in MAKING lau. ar IN "a.
Iecting officers TO administer them no,wi,b.
standing the work. wide declarat;oo by tbe
Administration a, Wasbing,on ami II,
friends elsewhere. that the people should bt
perfectly free 10 regulate their institutions in
their own way. subject only To The ,on,ti
tuition of the ni,ea STAT.
