Border Troubles.

large meeting of those opposed to the So
called Defensive Association has been held
at Weston, Mo. All persons who took an
active part in it were Shareholders and they
unanimously repudiated and denounced the
resolutions of that Association, which pledged
its members to go over into Kansas Territory,
on the call of the Shareholders therein, and
help erpst and drire out such settlers as might
come from the free States. The Weston Re-
porter Gays of those resolutions:
"They had been the means of driving or
keeping away from this city hundreds, per-
haps, who would have made this their stop
ping point, previous to going over into Kansas.
1t is this wholesale opposition to the best inter
ests of our merchants and business men, thus
driving away thousands of dollars of trade
from our city, this mob-law doctrine, these null,
LITIGATION principles, which have met with SC
signal rebuke by nineteen twentieths of the
people of ibis city and county"

9,S72. From this it appears that Augustus
Hall Dem is chosen in the first district by a
majority Of 1T votes. Some of the Western
papers state that this result is produced By the
rejection Of the returns Of three counties. If
this be true, Mr. Clarke will no-doubt contest
the seat. IL will be remembered that the
Wings lost one member of the State Senate
by like decision Of judges, throwing out the
returns from three counties.
