Others, whether honorably or not, bate ' claimed the glory ; but the point is not now ; in di-pute.

The undersigned, oitiens of tbe United States, and electors, of tho State of Con necticut, respectfully offer to your Excellen cy this memorial : The fundamental principle of the contsi tution of the United States nnd of our po litical institutions is, that the people shiill luake their own l.iws elect their own rulers. We sec with grief, if not with astonish ment, that Governor Walker, of Kansas, openly reprssenls and proclaims that the Piesidet-t of the L'l.iicd flutes Is employing through bim an army, one purpo--? of nhieh I is to force the people of Kansas to obey laws not their "own, nor of the U. States, but laws which it is notorious, nnd establish ed upon evidence, they never made and ru lers they never elected, j W'c represent, therefore, that by tbe fore goinc your excellency is openly held up and proclaimed, to the great derogation ef our : national character, as violating in its most essentia! particular 'he solemn oath which I the President has taken t support the con- Mitntion of this I uion. We call attention further to the fact that your excellency is, in like manner, held np to this nation, to all mankind, and to all posterity, in tho attitude of "levyir.g war against s portion ofj the United States " by employing arms iu Kansas to uphold a body cf men, and a code of enaetiu-i ts purporting to be legislative, but which nev er bad the election, nor sanction, nor con sent, of the people of the Territory. We earnestly represent to your excellen cy that we al.-o have taken the oath to obey the constitution: and your excellency may be assured that we shall not refrain from the prayer that tbe Almighty (Jod will make your administration an exsmple of justice and beneficence, an 1 with Ilia ter rible majesty prottct our peeple aud our constitution.

(il.NTLF.MKN: On 111 v recent return to thi city, a fu r n foi tniht's absence, ) our memorial, without date, was placed in my hand, through tho agency of Mr. Ho ratio Kiln.', of the Post Office I'l partmcnt, to wh'.-'ti it had bei'ii en! ! u it.-d . From too distinguished source wu.micc it proceed, as well as its peculiar charade., I have deem ed it proper lo depart from my gen. . .'1 rule iu surli ca-es. jno! to give it an answer. Yo.i ti r s t a-.n it that the " fundiimcnlal principle of the contituiion of tho United Si itcs ami of our political in-tit u'ioiH i that the people shall make their own laws an t elect their lulers." You then express your gi ief and a-toiiishment that 1 should have viohiti d Ihi rinciple, and, through ( o v. W a!h r, ha vc ei i pi iyed an arm v, " one purpo-t; uf which is to force the people of Kanaa to obey the laws not their own, nor of the United States, but law which is no torious, and eMahlb''cd upon evidence, they never made, and iukrsthey never elected." And, as a corollary from the foregoing, you represent that I " openly held up and pro claimed, to the great derogation of our na tional character, as violating in its most es sential particular the solemn oath which the President has tikeu to support the constitu tion of the Union. These are heavy charges procecdiiiL' from gentlemen of your character, and, if well founded, ought to consign my name to in fumy. Hut iu propoition to their gravity, ' common justice, to fy nothing of Christian charity, required that tu-tore making them j you should have clearly ascertained tbalj they were well founded. If not, they will redound with withering condemnation upon I their authors. Have you performed this preliminary duty toward the man who, however unworthy, is the Chief Magistral of your country ? If so, either you or I are laboring under a strange delusion. Should this to be your case, it will present a memorable example of the truth that po. Iitical prejudice is blind even to the exis tence of the plainest und most palpable his torical facts. To lhee h t u refer. When I entered the duties of the presi dential oflire, on the till of March last, what was the condition of Kansas? This Territory had beeu organized under the act of Congress of Hilth May, l"Ti, n ml the government in nil its blanches was in full operation. A uovcrnir, secietarv of the Territory, chief justice, two associate ju-i tices, a marshal, and litiiet nttorney had1 been nppoirted by my predecessor, by and with the advice otid consent of tho Senate,' and were all engaged iu discharging their respective duties. A code of laws had been1 enacted by the territorial legislature ; and the judiciary were employed ill expounding and carrying these laws into clleef. It is quite true that a controversy had previous-' ly arisen respeetimj the validity of iho elec tion of mciiihers of the territorial legisla ture and of the laws passed by them j but at the time I entered upon my c'.liciul duties Congress bad recognised this leis lature iu different forms and by different enactments. Tbe delegate elected to the House of Keprcsentives, under a territo rial law, bad just completed his term of service on the day previous to my inaugu ration. Id f-ct, I found the government of KaiiDJs' as well establi.-LcJ astb:.tof any I other Territory. Under thn-ic cir!,umtati Ices, what was my duty! Was it not to sus i tain this government? to protect it from tbe violence f lawless '.lieu, who were determin ed cither to rule or ruin ! lo protect it from being overturned by force? in the lannuagis of the constitution, " to take enro that tho laws be faithfully exMitcd !" It was for this purpose, and tbi alone, that I ordered a military force to Kansas, ti act ni a posse comitiitiis in aiding the civil magistrate to carry the laws into execution : Tho condition of (he Territory at the time, which I need in t portray, rendered this precaution ab-ijly necessary. In this f'iUf cf aff iiis .. i I not haVe been justly coiiidemned fiad I left the marshal and other officers jf a liko character impo tent to execute me process and judgments of courts of jnotice established by Congress, j or by the territorial legislature under it ex- prc.s.s autho-ity, and thus have suffered the goTcrnmect it.-elf to become on object of contempt in the eyes of the pcopie I And yet this ii what you designate a forcing " the ptoplc of Kansas to obey laws not their own, nor of the Uuited St ito.s ;" and for dying which you have denounced ute as having violated my solemn oath. I ask, I I.-. -1..- l.l r i o . i. wii.il. rise uuuiu i nave none, or ougiiv I to have done! Would you have desired tat I should abandon the territorial gor ersinent, sanctioned as it had been by Cou grei", to illegal violence, and thus renew the scene of civil w ar and bloodshed w hich every patriot iu the country bad deplored? This woull. indeed, have been to violate my oat'u of offi'.-c, and to fix a damning blot on the characttr of my administration, i I i:io-t cheerfully admit that the necessi ty fur sendisg a military force t- Kan-as to aid iu the execution of the civil law r fleets to credit up. ii the character of our country. I'ut let the b,auie fall upon the hcadu of the guilty. hc'ice did this necessity arise? A portion of the people of Kansas, unw iilit; to trut to the ha dot-box the certain Ann ti Cati remedy foi the redress of all grievances undertook to create au independent gov ernment for thcmeirfs. Had this attempt proved successful, it would, of cojr-e, have subverted the existing government, prescri bed and recognised b Congress, and sub stituted a revolutionary government iu its stenJ. This was a usirpatior. of the siiue character as it ould ho for a portion of the pc pie ( f Connecticut te establish a separate government within its chartered limits for the purpose of rc Jresfiiig any jr-i-vauce, real or imaginary, of which they .k.ght have complained ngain-t the legitimate Sl ate gov ernment Such a principle, if carried into execution, would de-troy all lawful outl.oiity and produce universal anarchv. I oii-ht to specify mere particularly a condition of affair, nhica I have embraced only iu general term, requiring the presence of a military force in Kan-a. The Congress of the Uuited Stales bad !iio-t wi-ciy de clare 1 it lo be " the true intct and mcairng ol" thi act (the act orgauuin.' the Territory) not to legislate slavery into any Teiiitory or State, not to ei.-luJe it therefrom, but to leave th" people thereof perfectly free lo form an ! regulate their domestic in-t'tutions in their own way, subject only lo the consti tution of the United Stitei." A a natural consequence, Congress has alio t re-ciihed by the same net that when the Territory of Kansas shall be admitted js a Sta'e. it ' hall L i rccived into the Union, viiii or without slavery, as their constitution tiny prescribe at the time of their admission." Slavery existed at that perijl, an I still' exit III Kansas, under the constitution of t tie United States. This point h is at last lien finally decided by the highest tribunal known ti our laws. How it coul l ever have : 1 ecu -eiiou-ly doubted ii a niy-t ry. If a confederation of sovcreigi States aeq'iite a new Territory at the expense of their com-1 moil blood and treasure, sun-Iv one set of the partners can have n tight to ex ! ide ' the other from its enjoyment by prohil it-tigl them from taking into it whatsoever is re- j cognised lo he property by the common c.n- : stitutiou. Hit when the people the iiona hie re-idet:t of such Territory proceed to frame a State constitution, then it i their right to decide the important qm-tion for themselves w hether they will continue, modi fy, or abolish slavery. To them, and to them alone, does this question belong, free from ail foreign interference. ; In the opinion of the territorial iegi-lattirc of Knnsiis, the time hud arrived fjr entering t tie I nion, and they accordingly passed a law to elect di legates for the purpose of framing a State constitution. This law was fair and jut in its provisions. It conferred the right of suffrage on ' every .om li-ir in habitant of the Territory ;" and, for the pur pose of preventing e ' i .v.id the inti u-ioti of citizens of iiar or di-ta it State, most properly confined this right o those who had resided tin rein three inon'h. previous lo the election. Here a fair opj, m (unity was presented fcr all the qualiti. 1 e-.-idettt. citizens of the Territory, t whatever organi- , zation they might have previously belonged, I to participate in the election, and to express ! their opinion at the ballot-box on tin? q is- ' tion of slavery. 11 it numbers of lawless men still continued to reit the regular teriito rial government. They refused either to be registered or to vote ; and the members of the convention were elected, legally and propeily, without their intervention. The convention will soon assemble to perform the solemn duty of framing a constitution ! for themselves aud their posterity; aud in! the state of incipient rebellion which still; exists i.i Kansas it is mv imperative du'.v to employ the troops of tho United States, should this become necessary, in defending: the convention against violence whilst fram ing Iho constitution, and iu protecting tho , "-ma Jiiic inhabitants" qualified to vote under thii provisions of this instrument in ' the free exercise of the right of suffrage j hen it shall be submitted to them for their j approbation or rejection. j I have entire confidence in fiiy. Walker that the troops will not be employed except to resist actual aggression cr in the execu- 1 tion of the laws ; and this not vtitil the power ' of the civil magistrate shall prove unavailing, j Following the wise example of Mr. Madison j towards the Hartford Convention, illegal i and dangerous combination, sneb a that of the Toi eka convention, will tiot l-c disturbed unless they shall attempt to perforin some net which will bring them into actual colli sion with tho constitution and the laws. In that event, they shall be resisted and put down Ly the w hole power of the government. In performing this duty I shall have the np-1 probation of my own conscience, and, as I humbly trust, of my (Jod. j I thank yoi; for tbe assurance that you ; will " not retrain from the prayer that Al-j mighty (Jod will make my administration an ' example of justice and beneficence."

On the "2Iit of May. l-otl, the mail was j robbed between Mobile nnd Montgomery,! : VI .riMiiia. A stage driver on the route,, William Lovelace, it s-i-r'-cfed of the, criiii", and was arrested, trie I and convicted, A stir: of monev, amounting to about .?4." till, was found in his possession, and wa takrD' bv the deputy marshal. Most of thii money belonged to St. John Powers k "o , anu to: PKink of Mon'goinery, as it was proved beyond a contradiction that St. John, Powers f- ("g and the bank were the only large transmitter of money by that mail, but the 'deputy marshal refuses to give into thtir ! possession the sum c ied to be lost, be- ' cause a tie allege ttiev no Iioi suow main is the i lentical mouey lost by them . An ap peal ha been made to the Potmater Gene- ral nnd he called upon the Attorney tuneral , for hi opinion in the case. After applying circ''!istanei'l evidence with the most con- sumate ski)! to show th.it the greater part the money iu the mail bag robbe-1 be. lo.agod to Powers .' Co. and to the Rank of Montgomery, and that therefore their claim for the amount in the deputy marshal's banes may be considered ju-t and rquitib!". he conclude by showing the right po essed by the Postmaster General to take the niomy fiom the deputy marshal's hands : You have a right to this mof-v r.s the legally appointed trustee of the true owners. The deputy marshal hold it, either without anv pretence of right, or e!-e be keep it lot toe ue of the feion wh i is com icted of steal, ing it.

No sooner had my companion (i i . was acquainted with the place) and myself ; enteled (lit suburbs, Mian our Oeuli were attr.ieted by two young ladies, who sat res itig llieir elbow upon the window casement; gracefully reclining their rosy cheeks upon j il.eir lily hands. We then drove to Mr. ! Harris' Hotel. After being introduced t him I funned a very high opinion of him, and he is nohl : qualified for the business in which he is engaged, lie takes a pleasure in iieeommoclatiiig person, nnd can make a stranger, however strange, feel perfectly at home. jMricfly after our arrival, we in i dulged iu the o bund ant luxuries, n hicu fiih'T I'l tabie, and which would have satiated )i v cv,.n if tbey were 'ne to th.ir palate, atol pis.-e.cd tho hnl-its of au Epicure.

Wu then proceeded to the house "here we met with a cordial roeeption, and after conversing. awhile upon the general topic of the day, we wer(. favored, by the ladies, with mu-u' nd while engaged in thia delightful exercise, the sound of an intruder's footstep-, n be drew near, arrested our attention, especially Rob', he) turning quickly round, was s tonished to behold standing at the door bis con. p inion Allen.

His feelings, expression, and actions can more easily be imagined than described. it created much laughter. He finally being convinced that his influence was of no Ifect upon Allen, he wi'h much reluctance bid the ladies adieu. Tom and I then had ti e pica-urc of their company, bicvi tiinpore, ap rte. Their voice, were soft and perui -ive, their countenances benevolent, wilh ryes iu telligent and cxprcive of permanent placidi ty of li.ind.
