The Kansas Repeating Acts.
WAsuxGroS, March %, 1S5


To the Editors IF the CHiOn:
There seems to be settled purpose, on
the part Of many, if not all the opposition
Journals of the country to misrepresent and
misstate the facts in reference to everything
occurring in Kansas. \ short time since it
was stated in a Democratic paper in western
New York that "the territorial legislature
had repealed section II of the law to punish
offences against slave property, and also
that portion of the 18th section OF the law
regulating elections, which requires voter,
when challenged, 10 take an oath to support
the fugitive slave laws Of 1898 and 1850
aud the Kansas Nebraska act Of 1851, and
that the person Offering TO vote, aud refusing
to take such an oath if required, shall not
be allowed to vote" The Republicans could
not tolerate this reduction OF their political
capital; so at once appeared in their papers
Geographic dispatches from st. Louis stating
that the "te-t-oath law" was not repealed
and | am informed such a statement has APP
peared in one OF the journals in this city
Permit me, then, through the medium of
your paper, TO give the facts 10 the pc pile

the repeal Of both those sections, and know
that the repeating acts passed But, in order
that there may be TO possible chance Of dis
putting the point, | herewith send you the
two repeating acts as passed. and attested by

the house, and the chief clerk Of the coun-

Gov. Walker Of Kansas.

Hon. Robert J. Walker having accepted
the Governorship of Kansas and received
his instructions, the papers are full Of ~
mors and gossip in reference to the purpos-
es and expectations Of the administration
in sending him TO that troubled region.
Some papers,-such as the New York Her
Gli,-say he will go to Kansas rather as 4
high commissioner and dictator than Gov
ernor, and rule with an iron rod, crushing
with the strong arm Of military power every
indication of opposition to his viii. The in
structions given TO Gov. Walker. and his
letter of acceptance, however, justify no
such inference. The gist Of these instruc-
tons, We are told, is given in an extract
from the Presidents Inaugural Address,
which il quoted, that - 1t Is the indisputa-
bic duty of the Government to secure to
every resident inhaJitant the free and inGe-
dendeut expression of his opinion by his
VOTE" and Gov. Walker, II his letter OF &c
ceptance. re;teratcs tie same sentiment.
He says:
- understand that you and ali your cab
that actual bona fide residents OF Kansas.
by fair regular vote. unaffected by fraud
or violence, must be permitted in adopting
= State constitution to decide for themselves
what shall be their social Institutions
l contemplate a peaceful settlement Of the
question by an appeal TO the intelligence
and patriotism Of the whole people Of han
sas. i contemplate no appeal to the militia
~ power, in hope that my countrymen in
Kansas from every section will submit TO a
decision Of this matter by full, fair vote of
the majority OF the people Of the Territory"
This certainly foroshaI5ws no such dcz-
potic, iron rule as the republican papers are
prOphesyiag.
But there IS enc point in reference to
which the freedom shriekcrs and agitators of
the north may with good cause be troubled
with uacasinc=s. ana that IS, that Coz. Y.
goes TO Kansas with the full purpose OF be
ing the only Governor in TIE territory, and
that he will be the head Of Jut ere go.ern-
ment. One Of the FIRST objects 10 which lie
will address himself, therefore, viii doubt
less be to Gomolish the sham government
recently re-inauguratcd at Topeka. While
he will, with a strong arm and rigid purpose

responsibility for, the article in the st. Louis
Democrat which introduces his yaedictory
address, and with serious charges against the
late administration. 1t appears now that
Gov Geary does not charge the Pierce Adj
with neglect or refusal to afford
him proper support, and that he threw up
his commission for reasons which | referred

in danger after the Sharrard affair, if not
before, there can be no doubt.
