I tliG remark was made by a democrat; the i greater portion of them left the stand, when

j Judge Stuart commenced speaking and j cut shillelahs and promenaded in front of i their banner. Tho word ran through the I crowd that the Irish were going to take the j banr.er at all hazard; some of our citizens ! went to the Irish and asked them if they had said anything about taking it down. ! They said they had not even thought of i such a thin?. The fusions acted verv inI decorously while the Judge was speaking; J after the meeting closed, the Plymouth i f0iS for home, the Irish assembled at airrbcerv. i The Aetna Green delegation and some others, came along soon afier, hurrahing for Fremont, and Free men; the Irish hurrahed for Buchanan; one of the drivers then commenced striking the Irish with j his whip, when the melee commenced in ! earnest. Several on both sides were pretty I badly hurt; some say tint two Irishmen I were killed; we talked with the overseer of j th- Rail Road hands a few davs after tho j ..... u . . f . difficulty, and he says that none of them were killed, to his knowledge. 1 rem the most reliable information we can get, the foregoing statement is substantially corO O icci. j lie luiious iiiui oe jwuu - . i i i when they get up a row and charge it upon the democrats.

The procession made the most splendid appearance of any that has ever been in Plymouth. Everything went on pleasantly, and good order was observed during the entire proceedings. The fusionists arc trying to get out the imprecision that it was a small af- j

fair, and a very small crowd. "We don't know the number present, but we should

( think there was full 500. During the speech there wr.s quite an appeatance of ram and they repaired to the Court Room, and as near as we could calculate, about onehalf of the company had to remain out doors. Pole Raising.

As an American citizen, deeply conscious of the blessings wl ich ever llow from our beloved Union, I did not considsr myself at libertto shrink from any duties however delicate and onerous, required of me by my country. With a lull knowledge of all the circumsed by Congress on the 3üth day of March, 1051, 1 hnd my duties more particularly defined. Among other things, I am "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." The constitution of the United Statesand ihe organic law of this territory will be the lights by which I will be gui Jed in my executive career. j A careful and dispassionate examination of our organic act will satisfy any reasonable person that its provisions aieeminently just and beneficial.

ceive the willing homage of every Ameri-!nut

can citizen. When legitimately expressed, and duly ascertained, the wid of the major ity must be the imperative rule of civil ac tion for every law abiding citizen. This simple, just rule of action, has brought or der out ot chaos, and progress unparalleled in the history ot the world, has made a few feeble infant colonies a giant confederated republic. No man, conversant with the state of affairs now in Kansas, can close his eyes to the fact that much civil disturbance has for x long time past existed in this territory. ! Various reasons have been assigned for i this unfortunate condition of affairs, and numerous remedies have been proposed. lhe House of Representatives of the' United States have ignored the claims of; both gentlemen claiming the legal right to ! represent the people of this territory iu that body. The Topeka Constitution recogniz-! et 1 by the House, has been repudiated bv the Senate. Various measures, each in the opinion of the respective advocates, suggestive of peace to Kansas, have been alternately proposed and rejected. Men outside of the territory, iu various sections of the Union, influenced by reasons best known to themselves, have endeavored to stir up internal strife, and to array brother against brother. In this conflict of opinion, and for the promoti on of the most unworthy purposes, Kansas is h'l't to suffer, her people to mourn, and her prosperity is endangered. Men of the North men of the South of the East and of the West in Kansas you, and you alone, have the remedy iu your hands. Will you not suspend fratricidal strife? Will you not cease to regard each other as enemies, and look upon one another as the children of a common mother, and come and reason together? Let us banish all outside iußuence from our deliberations, slid assemble around our council board wldi the-constitution of our country and tho organic law of this territory as tho great charts for our guidance and direction. The bona jidc inhabitants of this territory alone are charged with the solemn duty of enacting her laws, upholding her government, maintaining peace, and laying the foundation for a future com-! monral!h.

On this point let there be a perfect unity of sentiment. It is the first great step towards the attainment of peace. It will inspire confidence amongst ourselves, . and insure the respect of the whole country. Let us show ourselves worthy and capable of self-govern ment.

Do not the inhabitants of this territory 1 better undeistand what domestic institu tions are suited to their condition; what laws will be most conductive to their pros - ! perity and happiness; than the citizens of distant or even neiirhboi in" States? This great right of regulating our own affairs and attending to our own business, without anv interferenre from others, has been guaranteed to us by the law which Con-' giess has made for the organization of this teiritory. Tin's right of self-government; this privilege guaranteed to us by the orgariic law of ur territory, I will uphold with all mv mi ht, and with the entire power con mi tied to me. In relation to any changes of the laws of the territory which I mav deem desirable, I have n i occ ision now to speak; but these are subjects to which I shall direct public: attention at the proper time. The Territory of the United States is the common property of the several Siates, or of the people tlmreof. This bein" so, no obstacle should be interposed to the free settlement of this common prop -rtv, while in a territorial condition.

Geary, Governor of the Territory of Kansas, do issue this my proclamation, declaring that the set- ; vices of such volunteer miluia are no long-; er required; and hereby order that they be immediately discharged. The Secretary and the adjutant general of the terntorv will mustei out of service each command at its place of rendezvous, And 1 command all bodies of men. cmI'lned, armed and equipped with munitions j of war, without authority of the Govern-, ment, instantly to disband and quit theter ritory, as they will answer the contrary at their peril.
