80 The Troubles in Kansas. l's
So far, the intelligence from Kanses throws
ailthe blame upon the Free State men. They
are charged with having in the first instance
made an unprovoked attack upon pro-slavc-
ry SETTLER, and one Of them being killed, they
proceeded to burning buildings and other o,itr:,-
ges. Later STILL the telegraph informs US that
they had gathered in large iorce and it wasap-
pretended that they contemplated an attack up
IA In nf .r
credit the meagre and imperfect accounts of the
connections in Kansas which have come to hand,
the Free State men were making every prepare
ton Tor a. civil war on the largest practicable
scale, while the other party were only acting on
the defensive. -
It is proper to advise our readers, however,
that this is only the proslavery side of the story.
All the accounts which have reached us have
come from Weston and Jefferson City, the head
quarters of the regulators and they are on that
account TO be received with considerable allow
ance. Judging from the past, there is every
presumption in favor Of the idea that, whatever
may have occurred, the Free State men were not
the original aggressors. Up to the date of these
troubles they had been peaceable and for-bear-
ing, and we are reluctant to believe that their
spirit and policy have all at once been changed
to those OF the ruffans by whom their rights had
been SO long oycrborne. 1t was manifestlv for
their interest 10 maintain peaceabe attitude, in
view off heaction Of Congress upon the affairs of
the Territory, whileit was equally for the inter-
est of the paris of mob violence to bring them
as nearly as possible to their own level Such
are the probabilities of the case and to these we
shall hold until we receive the most incontesti.
bic evidence to the contrary Is fia sss.s
>, we are stlltfurther confirmed in this view of
the case by the announcement in Yesterdays
dispatch that Gov. Shannon had teegra phed the
President to order out the Government troops at
Fort Leavenwortir When the polls were to be
invaded in Kansas, there was no lack of ruffians
to carry out the outrage, and their boast ever
since has been that they could carry everything
their own way. Instead of being in deadly fear
of the Free State men, then, it is not more likely
that that the force of the latter has been greatly
exaggerated, and that the call of Gov. Shannon
upon the President for assistance is designed
