News from Kansas.
THE CAUSE OF GOV. WALKER’S PROCLAMATION TO THE PEOPLE OF LAWRENCE.
Gov. WALKER’S proclamation to the people of Lawrence is received here. Its issue grew out of the fact that a Committee, acting in behalf of the citizens of Lawrence, had framed for submission to the popular vote a City Charter differing essentially from that granted by the Territorial Legislature, thereby bidding defiance to the Territorial Government.
This action of the Committee Gov. WALKER pronounces to be treasonable, and he had ordered a body of troops to the vicinity of Lawrence, in order to prevent further proceedings in the premises, and to enforce the law.
The statement that it is WALKER’S design, through this movement, to keep in Kansas the troops designed for Utah, as a pretext for the administration to back out of the Utah expedition, is mere speculation.
