Things are evidently coming 10 crisis in
Kansas A brutal assault was made on the
Governor a few days ago. in his office, by the
notorious Gen. Stringtellow. of Weston, Mo
Tn particulars are something like these
Striurtellow wished the governor 10 pledge
himself not to veto certain measures that
mi yht be passed by the Legislature. as 1t seems
Iha. a screw Is loose somewhere, so that two
thirds Of the members cannot be mustered in
support of those measures. OF course tie
Governor refused TO accede To his wishes
Strin rfellow then asked the governor 1t he
had. in some of his speeches in the east, re-
presented him (Striugfellow) as taking an ac-
tive and dishonorabe part IN the election out
RACES in Kansas. The governor said ne had,
and that he considered him instrumental In
getting up these outrages, and that hls con
duct was dishonorabe. Stringelow asked
him if he would take back the charge. which
the governor refused 10 do. The rutfian then
made an attack upon him, pushed him down
and scratched his face, but others quickly
came to the rescue, and they were soon sepa-
rated The gov ernor was the point Of
starting Pawuee. 20 meet the Legislature
which ne had called 70 meet there. He left
the next morning, and soon after his departure.
Strngfellow came again. and went on in pur-
suit of him. What occurred in the next en-
counter, | am not informed 1t is believed
BY the most intimate friends of the governor.
that lie is or will be removed together with
judges Elmore and Johnson, and Attorney
General Isaacs. under pretext of their specu-
la ion in Indian lands; but the prime object,
no doubt, is the removal of Gov. Reeder-
Such is the servility and contemplating Of the
miserable specimen Of humaaity who occu-
pies the presidential chair Of the United States,
that no man is too worthy, right too sacred
to be sacrificed TO the internal ambition Of the
slave power.
The legislature Of Kansas will Immediately
adjourn on this meeting n Pswnee. to the
Methodist Mission here. where preparation is
being made for them. They will then be near
their barbarian constituents in Missouri, and
two miles from Westport, where intoxicating
liquors flow freely The members Of the leg
iSlature are miserable set of beings, and no
thing Of good is expected al their hands. and
there IS strong feeling in the territory, against
being governed BY any Of their laws. A deep
feeling Of indignation, resulting from the
wrongs we suffer, now prevails among the
freemen OF Kansas We believe that the way
IS rapidly opening f5r dissolution Of the
Union; and if il must BE- SO, we say LET II
CONE. Dcplorable as such a thing would be,
we care no. how soon i may come. if there
is 10 be no alternative from the aggressionsof
slavery. \ puny set Of beings, called Union
savers, are CRYING peace. peace when there
car b. ~ peace, until this slavery question is

Il have taken the liberty TO acquaint you
with most singular decision which was Civ

fugitive Slave law. As the de ision emanates
from the highest tribunal Of the kingdom Of
Prussia, il Is certainly authority which
may be successfully quoted hereafter. Il ap
pears that Dr. Ritter brought with him to
Berlin, Prussia, a negro slave which he lad
purchased in Brazil All the proceedings
which are often and successfully had in the
free States were Immediately Instituted By the
European aboliti1nists. and, although the
slave was first declared to be free, or rather
the owner prevented from taking possession OF
him, it has been decided. after full investisa-
ton, that the case has to be a1judged accord
ing TO the Ter loci and the application OF TIE
slave has been refused, and he has been re-
rnanded to his owner. As far As my inforHa-
ton on the subject, after diligent inquiry,

Prussia and il is, therefore, fully conceded
that the owner Of slave may bring him w1tn
him to Prussia. and there retain him, and
