December 11, 1857. J
Jiinirs V. J)enver, A'sy., Secretary ami
.Icllug Governor oflantas Territory!
Hiu !, Ynn ,hiira, already, ..been Informed
that Mr. Stantoii has been removed from tha
o!)lco of (Secretary of iho Territory of Kan
sas, and. that you liavo been appointed In his
placo. I desire now to statu to you distinct-1
ly Iho rcaton of this change. The Conven
tion which met nt I.ccomptou on tho 1st of
September, had framed a Constitution and
hail authorized its president to inbuilt tho'
question to tho people of Kansas on Iho "21st,
of December, whether this Constitution
should bo adopted with or without slavery ,
The Importance of tho Issuo could not well
hoover estimated. It involved tho com
plete and nutborltatlvo settlement of the
only subject of difference which hail serious
ly jgltntid Kuusai or Interfered wills Its
prosperity. Tho qualified electors, there
fore, to whom this settlement was referred
not only had uuqucsllonablu right to attend,
nt tha polls and give their votes on tho dny
appointed but they were required to do so
. .. .i - .i-i.i li it r....kll .!..,.. I
uy lUQiiigiieii couiiiivrnuoiiBui inunuiiu.jr.
In the exercise of this right, moreover, they I
were entitled to ndequnto protection by tha
Territorial Government, and the noting Uov-j
cmorwas bound to employ all legal means
at his command to give security and fiilr
ncss totho elections. Willi tho conlllctlug
opinions which prevailed In tho Territory
on tho question submitted ho had no right
to interfere.
Thoy had their appropriate Ifiuo nt iho
ballot-boar, and to that peaceful arbitra
ment they mlRht safely lo referred. 'I'ho
great objects to bo accomplished In tho opi
nion of the President were to prescrro tho
pcacu of tha Territory nnd sccuro freedom
In tho election. Kuterlnlnlng theio vlows
ho was surprlsul to Lam thai tha RroroUry
ml..elluir (Jnrcmor bad .on 'tho first of
December Issued his proclamation for n tpo
clalscfilon of tho Territorial Legislature on
the 7th Instant, only a few weeks in advance
of Its regular tlmo or meeting, and only
fourteen day befors. n decision was to bo
mado on tho question submitted by Iho Con
vention. Tho course of Mr. Stanton tho
President seriously believe has thrown n
new element or dltcord among the excited
people of Kansas, nnd It Is directly nt war,
therefore, with the peaceful policy of the
Administration.
For Ibis reason he has fell It his duly to
remove him.
From theso views you will readily under
stand what the President regards ns tho
chief duty which devolves upon you ns Mr.
Stanton.' successor. This duly Is to pro-
servo pcaco in Kansas. Every person enti
tled to voto on tho Constitution ought to
liavo safe access to the polls, and to bo frco
from any restraints whntcver In tho exercise
of tho electlvo franchise.
If the civil power Is foundjntufllctent for
this purpose, tho troops of tho United States
should bo employed Jii aid of It, and It may
bo a wlsa precaution to bavo them station
ed, in advance, within reach of thoto places
whero, In your judgment, their services aro
likely to bo required. It is earnestly hoped
that the use or tho military power may be
wholly avoided. Violence is always less
likely to occur whtn tho means are known
to bo n band for Its prompt suppression.
Should tho military forco becomo absolutely
necessary to keep the pence, you will flod
full Instructions with rcforcuce to tho prop
cr inodo of employing it In my communica
tions to Governor Walker, of March 28,
July M, and Sept. 2, 1U7, and in those
subsequently written to Mr. Stauton. Of
theso last, that of Nov, 30 was taken to
Kansas by you and you bad a copy of It-
All of them will doubtless bo found in tho
archives of th.0 Governor at Lccompton.
They refer prominently to tho yrescrvallon
of tho peaoo at certain Important elections,
but I ncal bardy Inform you timt your du
ty Is not Intended to be confined to those
special occasions. It cAlends, of emirao, to
tho prairQtlon of all citizens in the exercise
of their just rights, uud applies to ono legal
election as well ns to another. Tho Territo
rial Legislature doubtless convened on tho
7lli lujUnt, and while it remains n session
U members are entitled to bo sccuro and
free u their deliberations. Its rightful no
tion must also be respected, Should it au
thorize an election by Iho people for any
pdrpoo,'thta election should be held without
interruption, no less than thoso authorized
by the Convention. Wjillo tho peoco of tho
Territory s preserved and freedom of elec
tion is securcu, meru uucu oe uq uuasirous
consMiuence.

can obviously occasion no Injury to any cit

Tho President relics upon your flrmncs
nnd discretion to giro effect to these Instruc

ple of Kansas, and nono oilier than tho pro
pie of Kansas, should havo the full deter

for decision. It Is Important also, that tn
securing to them Iho protection to which
thoy aro entitled, great core should bo ta

this poiut I again refer you to my In

tary Stauton, which you will regard as di

It Is proper to add that no action or tho
Territorial Legislature about to meet can

Static Dki'autmkxt,
Deo. 18th, 1657. )
Sin: On Wednesday lost I received your
communication of tho laili Inst., tendering
your resignation a Governor or Kansas.
This jesjgnntlou Is accompanied with a
long argument on tho alfalrs of llio Territo
ry generally, to which, you nro well aware,
It would bo impossible for this Department
to reply. If every ofllcer of the Govern
ment, who feels himself constrained to re
fuio obedience to tho Instructions of the
President, shall purstio this iimuual course,
and thus place on tho Hies of tho appropri
ate Department a criticism on tho policy of
tha Administration, no person know better
than yourself to what consequences this
might lead. We must cither causo the char
ge and arguments ngalnst the President to
bo died among tho publlo archives of the
country, without contradiction or reply, or
It must spoml tlmo which ought to be devo
ted to Iho publlo service In controversies
with subordinate officers, who may disap
prove or tho President's policy.
While duty, therclorc, forbids mo to en
ter Into a controversial discussion with you
on tho various topic embraced by your ar
gument, It is proper that I should mako a
remark upon n slnglo point, You slate that
tho President has changed his policy in re
gard to Kansas. Aud tvhy.thhi allegation 1
Simply because tho Convention of Kansas
have, in tho exercise of tho rights belonging
to them decided that they would not submit
Iho wholo Constttutloii to tho people, al
though they had submitted tho all-important
and dangerous question of Slavery,
which threatened to convulso the Union,
and was alono prominent In tho minds of
tho people throughout every State.
He had not treated tho submission of this
momentous question as n mcro nullity,
Under these circumstances it was his Imper
ative duty, and this In strict conformity
with previous instructions, to take care that
a fair election bo held on this vital quwtlou,
and thus giro peaeo to tho Union, Had he
acted in any other manner, merely because
ho preferred tho submission of tho Consti
tution originally to tiia people, his responsi
bility would havo been of the grayest char
acter. Ho never Intended or expressed tho
opinion that tho convention wero bound to
submit any pprtlou or the constitution to
the people, exceptitba question or Shivery,
much less that that portion would be Inval
id without such submission. Had ho enter
tained such an opinion, this would have teen
in opposition to tho numerous precedents
which havo occured slnco tho adoption of
tho Federal Constitution by tho different
States.
Tho question of Slavery woo the all ab
sorbing question, and you were sent to Kan
sas with tho full confidence of the President,
to carry out tho principled of tho Kansas
Nebraska act. With the question or wheth
er Kansas was to bo n free or n slave State,
you wero not to Interfere, You were toec
enro to tbo peoplo of Kansas a free nnd fair
election, to decide tbo questions for them
selves. The President was therefore happy
to learn, from your dispatcher to this de
partment, of JUly 15th last, tbat!.allyour

uiiy 'opinion as to whether It should bo a
