.a False Charge.

We see charge preferred against us
through the columns of the Kansas Tri-
bune that we challenge its all-wise editors
to sustain. The Tribune in commenting
upon an article of ours in relation. to
the return of the perfdious Philips
who still remains in our city unmolested,
says: Why does the Herald advocate
Lynch Law unless he wishes to embroil
the Territory and the country in civil
war"
The Herald has never yet advocated
Lynch Law, and we defy the gimblet eye,
attle-brained editors of the Tribune to
bring forward any language of ours that
can be construed as advocacy of Lynch
Law. We deprecate Lynch Law as much
as any living man, and we cannot see upon
what justifable ground such a charge is
brought up against US. We were, and
are still, in favor of expelling Philips
from the Territory; but we do not say
that he should be treated to dose Of
Judge Lynch. Does it make US an advo-
catssof Lynch Law to approve of the ex-
pulsion of perjured svillian who is ac-
cused. and not without good cause. of being
accessory to the late murder of Clark.
We only favor movement that is endorsed
by every law-abiding citizen Of this place.
Philips is stil here, webeIieye that his
days in this Territory are numbered, we
are consoled with the conviction g that
there is a good time coming.

The ABoLITIoNEsTs IN Great TRIBu-
LArIoN! WHAT IS TO BE DoNE?-The
Chicago Tribune, the Evening Post, New
York Tribune and other fanatical sheets of
the Northeast in giving vent to their Bit
ter condemnation over the defeat of their
anti-slavery brethren go so far as to invoke
the interference of the National Executive
In our late Territorial election. Such an.
idea or threat is SO extremely absurd and
silly that it can only evoke derision and con-
tempt from every rational mind.
What can President Pierce do in the
[premises2 Nothing unless he is guilty Of
acting in direct contrayention with the Ne
braska- Kansas Act. He admitted the doc
trine of squatter sovereignty in giving his
sacntion to the organic act, and must now
abide by it.
All power given President Pierce by the
organic law has already been exercised by
him. He has appointed all the officers
which the act provides for and he can do
nothing more. In case of dereliction of
duty on the part of any of the Executive
officers the President can remove them
from Office and appoint others to fill the va
cancy occasioned by their removal; but moth
ling more can he do unless he usurps the
rights of the squatters.
| A prodigious cry is raised by the aboi-
tionists, asking President Pierce to proclaim
the Kansas election nullity, and for what?
because the abolitionists were completely
defeated in the election. We do not sup
pose that President Pierce will heed the
lcry. He has no right to interfere with the
functions ofour Legislature, and ifhe should
yield to the opportunities of the abolition
lists and pronounce the dissolution of our
| Legislature, he will have warm time OF
it. The abolitionists failing to overthrow
the rights of the South by colonizing ouz
Territory through the agency of joint stock
associations now call upon President Pierce
and implore his aid and cooperation in ma
king Kansas free State. This they will
find as unavailing as theiEschemes to pop
ulate Kansas with men opposed to the in
stitutions of slavery Our advice is that
they abandon the fight for it is useless for
them to attempt to subjugate us-we are
an uneonquerable people and will never
yield to them. Our domestic institutions
are not to be moulded by the fanatics of
Boston nor the President of the United
States. The question of slavery or anti sla-
very in Kansas is to be decided by the
people of the Territory, and their decision
will be unalterable. Such are the rights
of squatter sovereignty, such is the law
such is the constitution.

the slightest sympathy for mardersrs, and
we shall never spare one effort of ours to-
bring him to Justice. We have not .en-
deavored TO excite prejudice against him,
for it has been SO intense that we have
been daily expecting to hear Of the execu-
ton of McCrea from the limb of some
tree. The Tribune seems to be in great
ignorance as to the course Of Judge Les
compte at the indignation meeting held by
our citizens some days after the murder,
with view of taking some action in rela-
tion to the foul murder of Malcome Clark.
From fear of our worthy and efficient
Judge being misrepresented, ne state that
he came to Leayenworth for the purpose
:" Of restoring peace and harmony among
our citizens. and preventing if possible,
any violation of the law" In his speech
he assumed conservative position, said he
would deprecate any attempt to reflect
summary punishment on any person on
any occasion, and that he believed there
was sufficient law In the Territory Tor the
punishment of all crimes.

and be will not resort to Spain for it. He is up to the
exigenciss of the case, but Marcy is still wavering,
and Cushpg in open rebellion against any warlke
movements. The Cabinet is in a crisis. Much 10
said of apostolic modification of its personnel and
not few entertain the firm belief that Gen. Pierce
will &C. this time part worthy the high position he
occupies. He seems TO realize that if he leaves the
last outrage pe,pettated by Spain on our flag una-
tor ed, he puts himself beyond the pale of redemp-
lion. He said to be very resolute, and his frequent
conferences with Soule inspire the friends of Cuba
Selling with great hopes that at last something will be
accomplished. Cabinet sessions are frequent and
