Wukrxas indications exist that public tranquility and the supremacy of law in the Territory of Kansas are endangered by the reprehensible acts or purposes of persons, both within and without the same, who propose to direct aud control its political organization by force. Ifc appearing that combinations have been formed tberciu to resist tho execution of the territorial laws, and thus, in effect, subvert by violence all present constitutional and legjal authority: It also appearing that persons residing without the lerritory, but near its borders, contemplate armed.intervention iu the affairs thereof: It also appearing that other persons, inhabitants of remote States, are collecting money, engaging inen, aud providing arms for the same Curpose: And it further appearing that cominations within the Territory are endeavoring, by the agency of cinisSArics and otherwise, to induce individual States of tho Un: .... ^ at.^ ?zr. it .r iuii ias intervene ni?iiu nuiiin) wiereoi in Violation of the constitution of the United States: . j And whereas all such plans for tlio deter-' inination of the futuro institutions of the Territory, if sarried into action from within the same, will constilute the fact of insurrection and, if from without, that of invasion aggression, and will, in cither case, justify and require the forcible interposition of the whole power of the general government, as well to maintain the laws of the Territory as those of the Union : Now, therefore, I, Franklin Pierce, President of the United States, do issue this mj' proclamation lo command all persons enga ged in unlawful combinations against the I constituted authority of the Territory of Kansas or of the United States to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes. and to warn nil such persons that any attempted insurrection in said Territory or aggressive intrusion into the tame will be resisted not only by the employment of the j local militia, but also by that of any avnila . ble forces of the Uuited States ; to the end of i assuring immuity from violence and full protection to the persons, property and civ-1 ll rights of all peaceful and law-abiding in-' habitants of the Territory. If, iu any part of the Union, the fury of. fiction or fanaticism, inflamed into disregard j of the great principles of popular sovereignty which, under the constitution are fund anion ' tal in the whole structure of our institutions,! ia to bring on the country the calamity of an arbitrament of arms in that Territory, it shall be between lawless violence on tlio one side and conservative torce on the other, wielded by legal authority of the general government. I call on the citizens, both of adjoiniug i and distant States, to abstain from unauthor- j ized intermeddling in the local concerns of! the Territory, admonishing them that it* orPnic law i* to be executed with impurtiul nice ; that all individual acts of illegal in terferenco will incur condign punishment; and that any endeavor to intervene by or ganized force will be (irmly withstood. I invoke all good citizens to promote order by rendering obedience to the law ; to seek remedy for temporary evils by peaceful means; to discountenance and repulse the counsels and the instigations of agitators and of disorganizes ; and to testify their attachment to their country, their pride in its greatness, their appreciation of the blessing* they enjoy, and their determination that republican institutions shall not fail in their hands, by co-operating to uphold the majesty of the laws and to vindicate the sanctity of the Constitution. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to Lo affixed to these presents.

FRANKLIN PIERCE. By the President: W. L. Maiicy, Secretary of State. James Buchanan. The Philadelphia Penntylvanian publishes the following cxtacta from a private letter to a gentlemen of that State, from Mr. Buchanan : "You refer to the connection of my name with the Presidency. * * * This I neither desired nor expected.? The movement favor has, therefore, originated without mv previous knowledge, or consent, and 1 should be quite satisfied should another be selected. "The next will bo the most important and responsible Presidential term since the last war with England or, perhaps, since the origin ot the government. Both our foreigin and our domestic affairs will require the guidance oi rui able, firm, and skillful pilot to steer the vessel of State clear of the breakers. I pray Heaven that the best man nmy be selected for the crisis, and to mo it is a matter of indifference whether ha comes from the North or the South, the East or the West."
