some Widow Wsdman to help out the play, he
NAV smu,e himself and "the rest of mankind "
fr ssme time TO come II is said that he 10 writ
mo thanksgiving proclamation, calling upon the
sovereign squatters 10 convene on a specf ID day
n their respective places Of worship, and render
thanks to the ruler of the universe for all the
Blessings of sq1atter sovereignty and tne Mis-
sour laws extended over them. Ii will be liter-
ary curiosity, aid serve TO quiet ali anarchy and
prevent any bloodsbed 10 future between Adolf
fionis's and border ruffians. Why is il tina; -
much bad liquor is sold here 70 the Uoited States
troops and others from Missouri under lic-nse
from the mayor and COMMON council when there
exists law Of Congress prohibiting the sale
of ali liquors on Indian lands, and making
it felony, punishable by imprisonment
Wby does not Commissioner hanypenny
see 10 this : And why does not the
seeretary of War issue bis orders to the military
ssnmandsbt at Fort Leayenworth TO put stop
70 the troops coming down here on government
horses at full gsllop merely to getarunk ana race
back through our streets 10 the great danger oil
lite and limb Should he not require The chaplain
to preach against incompetence and saboath-
breaking ON bad liquor, and prac ice 1t too, be-
yobd nlitsry limits' This S9ustter Sovereignty,
40 much prated about by Douglas and his disciples,
is oil q farce and fiction. We are governed by
mere distant and Iisher powers than We can
reach The General government appoints gov
ernOr over us, and sends judges and marshals to
extend the laws OF Missouri over us, snd still
they ak about Squatter Sovereignty. The Legs
lature Of Missouri (sccOrding to Gov. Shannon)
has appointed every officer 10 the Territory, SO
that the sovereign squatters have not the poor
privilege Of voting for a single officer, not even
cnpst.bl and by the acts of the legislature, am
told. they dare not utter their sentiments, q0der
pain of punishment in the SAFE prlsoD. Are we
not .erfs, governed by more than Russian bar
barb 7 and instead OF Sovereignty are we
not the most servlle ard subserv'ent people
In the world "SOuatter fOveregnty !" Alas!
il il ell cant with hypocrtical deUagogues like
Deuslas An upright citizen is taken from his
frantic wife by gang of these higher law rutsos,
txrred and feathered and ridden on u rail through
Weston, where he is sold at public auction to
negro bis life threatened uDless he should sign
paper promising to leave forever the home o. his
choice and in this gang there were at least two
LAWYERS and the clerk OF the United States District
court for the first Id eial district OF Kansas; aud
for this outrage the United States court con-
Beeted with il by its silence since, and by the par
tiepstioD in the outrage by two members OF the
bar and its own clerk, sanctions this outrage aud
breseh Of the peace. strange as 1t may seem,
Judge Lecompte retains Boyle, the clerk, in Office.
II 10 said he ia "a near relation" Of the learned
iudge Alas, for our judiciary How would
psor Master Robert Shallow, Esquire" weep
over bis compeer aud brother judge could be arise,
on the Eastern Shore OF Mary land, from the grave
70 v ich he has been so long consigned, or look
lswn from the blessed abode to which he has been
exalted for his judicial learning. Alas for Master
Shallow and Squatter Sovereignty
