Doniphan County.

We are sorry to see the Geary City
Era occupying wrong position in regard
to the voting policy, and absolutely re-
ioicing over the fact that not vote was
polled in that place for the State ticket.
Doniphan county is the only one in the
Territory that did not participate in the
late election, and that county was only pre-
vented from doing so by false under
standing of the facts. Hundreds of the
settlers were outraged at those journals
and their endorsers, which were chiefly
instrumental in placing the party in a
false position, and in an antagonistical
attitude to their Free State brethren in
other parts of the Territory. We would
rather that Doniphan had shared with the
people in the oAer counties, in the honor
of overthrowing the Lecompton swindle,
by electing the officers under it.; but as
they have not, they viii be compelled,
for time, to stand on the outside of the
circle, till another occasion arises, when,
We trust. they will redeem themselves
from their present false position.

Gov GszEy on the LscompioR Constitution.
Governor GEABY, says the Alton Courier,
Having been charged by Washington
correspondent with approving Of Mr. Bu-
.chanan's Kansas policy, he has written a
long letter to one of the New York papers
Indignantly denying the charge. He says
that when in Kansas he favored, and now
favors, the submission of the Lecompton
Constitution to the people. and says en-
phatically that the principle of the SOW
ereignty Of the people must be upheld
and maintained at all hazards and at every
sacrifice
: Gov. Geary vetoed the bin providing for
the Lecompton Constitutional Convention,
and he says: =
That before he decided to veto the bill,
he sent for the ChaTrmen Of the Commit
tees of the tive branches of the Kansas
Territorial Legislssure-Gens Goffey of
the Council, and Col. Anderson Of the
House-and informed them that If they
would consent to add clause referring
the Constitution which the bill proposed
to be made, TO fair and fun vote of the
legal voters Of the Territory, for their
ratification or rejection, he would waive
sll other objections, and give it his ap-
proyal. The reply was. that that sugges-

There were 1872 votes cast against the
Lecoinpton Constitution; but owing to
there being no Free State County ticket,

State ticket. Some filled out their tick

81 The Tree Of Liberty well Guarded.
I'VE feel that the tree of liberty in Kan
ssas is at last well guarded, and that there
is no farther danger of harm coming to it.
Like the flaming swords set at the gates
of Paradise to protect it from injury, so is
this tree which has been watered by the
blood of so many brave and true men.
For years we have been oppressed beyond
endurance with the Territorial govern
ment. That is now in the hands of the
people, and their servants are welding it
Z for freedom, and for unloosing the chains
of the bondman. The Lecompton swim
die was thought to be an insuperable
barrier to the progress of free institutions;
but like the power of Nebuchadnezzar, it
has departed, and if it were possible for
!, it to be forced through Congress, it would
become a powerful auxiliary in the or
ganization of a new government, which
should lay deep and broad the founda-
tons of civil and political liberty in this
Territory.
r The people have no longer cause for
desponding Thanks to the courage and
indomitable energy of the brave few,
who dared stand up in the face of public
opinion, and bidding those who would
crush them, defiance, put in nomination a
State ticket; and receiving the sympathy
aud the kindly cooperation of the true
men of Kansas everywhere-save in a
few isolated localities-triumphed, and
by this means have given freedom, not
only to Kansas, but to all the unpeopled
Territories of the United States lying east
of. and around the base of the Rocky
Mountains. aJidH .a

4 law was passed st the extra session
Of the Territorial Legislature. organizing
a military board, which virtually took the
authority of commander-in-chief of the
militia, out of the hands of the Executive,
and placed II in the hands of Gen. Lane
and seven other coordinate officers. Act
| ing Gov. STANTON vetoed the bill The
following is his veto Message; 81
| 10 TIE House of Representatives
- fsa of tie Territory of Kansas:
GENTLEMEs Herewith ffetarn the
bill entitled An act to organize and reg
ulate the militia of the Territory of Kan
sas,""r which was presented yesterday for
my approval, but from which / am COM
PEELED to withhold my sanction.
No necessity seems to me to demand a
re- organization of the militia at the pres
ent time; and such measure is not in
my Judgment, legitimately connected
with the general purpose for which the
| Legislative Assembly Is now convened.
Moreover ] am deeply impressed with
the importance of avoiding everything,
I which, at this critical juncture of affairs
I might serve 20 irritate the minds Of the
tpeople, and arouse apprehensions, such as
might naturally be engendered By any
: military movement whatever.
Looking to the provisions of the bill
itself, / dissent from that part of It which
provides for the election of general off,
cers by the two honses of the Legislative
Assembly. If any change should be
made from the present mode of appoint
, ment, am of opinion that the officers in
question should be selected by the people,
or by those who are liable to be called into
service under the law. c..et
But the most fatal objection to the pro-
posed law, and that which is entirely con-
elusive to my mind, is to be found in the
seventh section; which authorizes "a ma
, jority of the military board to call out
the militia in any emergency"
: BY the organic act, the Governor OF the
territory is made commander-in-ehief OF
|, the militia, and Is charged with the duty
. of seeing the laws faithfully executed
: The proposed law would virtually depose
= him from his position, and would place
. him in the power of board, composed
! of the general officers of the militia, In
!, ], cluding himself it is true, but in which
i he might at any time be oFeTuled by the
e majority.
= In my Judgment such law would be
: in direct conflict with the organic act
and would therefore be null and void
: II, however, it might be considered legal
: ly valid, it would be hostile to the &C
: knowledged principles of civil liberty,
which required the subordination Of the
. civil power. To confer upon majority
] of the general officers of the militia, the
power to judge of the occasion when the
= military force Of the territory should be
called into action, would be to establish q
!. : military despotism of the most dangerous
and pernieious character.
> With these objections return the bill
: in question to the House IN which il
j originated. ~
