Kansas.

ST. LOUIS, August 23.-A mass meeting
was held at Lawrence, Kansas Territory, on
the l4th inst. Over six hundred persons were
present.
General Schuyl,r presided, assisted by the
usual number of Vice Presidents and other
officers.
Strong resolutions were passed denouncing
the election of the 3Oth of March as a great
outrage, denying the legality of the Lcgisla-
ture now sitting, with pretensions to power, to
enact laws for the territory, pledging them
selves to resist its enactment, and recommend
ing State Constitution with view to imme-
date State organization and application to the
next Congress for admission into the Union
as State.
Resolutions of thanks to Governor Reeder
were passed.
1t was unanimously resolved, agreeably to
the recommendation of the Territorial Free
Soil Executive Committee, a convention be
called of five delegates to each representation
appointed in the several districts to meet al
Big Springs, on the 5th of September, for the
purposes recommended and such other action
as may be deemed necessary.

The RuilIlers.

Since the passage of the Ordinance, by
the City Council, a short time since, forbid
ding Runners for the Steamboats, to act up.
on the Levee there has been a compara-
lively tranquil time there, in the absence of
alterations, profanity, pullings and haul
ings, etc 1t is certain that business has
gone on as well or better without them, and
persons seeking passage below, have not
been hustled about by angry partizans of
different boats Baggage has been permit
ted to accompany its rightful owner, where
he choose to take it, and much satisfaction
has been generally expressed thereat No
class have been more earnest in their ap-
prOval of the new course of things than the
officers of Steamboats, themselves, for run
ners are an incubus upon them, quite as
much as they are pest to the travelling
community and to the city. They are for
ced in selfdefence to employ them where
the law allows them to operate, for their
interests are made to suffer by the eXertions
of these paid praisers of particular Steam
boats, and underraters of all others, no matter
what their claims to consideration may be-
1t not unfrequently happens that where a
Captain refuses to employ a Runner" his
boat is made the object of utter misrepre-
sentation, and it is the fear Of that which
induces their being tolerated at all. Every
where East, they have been for years con-
sidered as little better than common nui-
sance, and the plea set up for them, that
they are ga necessary evil" will not we
trust be available, as yet, in st. Paul.
The business men Of our city demanded
and secured the passage Of the Ordinance
referred to, and it was supposed that the
matter was settled. We learn however,
that petition to Council is in circulation
praying that Runners be licensed under
the tempting terms of $40 fee for the IL
cense, and the giving of bonds, in the sum
of $500, for good behaviour by the person
obtaining it.
The real interests of the city, as regards
the preservation of peace and order upon
the Levee, and the protection of travellers
from insult and annoyance, are againt this
application. A" Runner" may think he is
according to his knowledge of his business,
behaving very well, and all that but the
spirit of competition he must necessarily
display if he wishes to act efficiently, may
not, and most frequently does not appear in
the same favorable light, either to the per-
secuted traveller, or to the citizen whose
business on the Levee he and his fellows Sc
rOusly hinder-most certainly not at any
time to the latter
We trust our business men will meet this
movement and crush it at once St. Paul
can afford to wait some years yet, and until
she gets much bigger, before she will feel
called upon to endure the necessary evil"
