came here as popular delegate, and claimed to
have been elected from the coanty 10 which Law
renee is situated, a county in which he does not
live even if he bad not been Governor, for he re-
sided at the shawnee Mission, close 70 the Missouri
border in the Shawnee Reserve, in which there
can be no legal voting. More than that, | am

YESTERDAY there was rather an smnsing retrac-
ton made by Gen. Calhoun, in the h1teL. IL viii
he recolected that tn General in his speech said
that lie knew Bird, who had written the letter 70
Tie n. J. Tribgw, that he read. The said b I'd
kposn him in Illinois such. URlHcklly Tor the
General there appear to DE more Bids than
enc, and the Surveyor General knowledge OF or
anthology seems to tave been radically detective.
The veritable Mr.. Bird is now in Leayen WORTH,
snd, as it appears, halls from Pennsy lvania. Yes
terday, as have said, be -pprOached Gen Calhoun
in the hotel ami crowd, AID asked
ado you know me, General"
"Nell-Do-I belieye'--ln brief the Cen
era Lad not the honor.
"WeU. Sir, am Mr. Bird, whom you uisrere-
sebted ard tIaduced in your speech. BE more
cautious General how You d. so in future until
you know who you are talking about
Ire polite suryeyor General made as good al
qn;snGs as could be made under the circums tances
but the jose was decidedly against him.
Indignant at the character and conduct OF the
" law-and- order" NEE ting, the citizens OF Leay-
enworth are determined To have 4 true Law and or
der meet ting on the 9TH of December. The call is
signed BY the Mayor Of the city and many of the
most influential clizens. A meeting was held
lest night at which Ne ssTs. Parrot and Delahay
addressed the people. Both speakers showed that
the constitutional Convention at Topeka was
lsw.aId order mOy ement that the formation of
Territorial Governments are merely accidents 10
our bistOry, and that for the people to take the
uitiari-e steps 10 get State Government was in
accordance with precedent and violated no law.
L.
Governor Shannon. he said he had supported
him while residing in Ohio, but he would never
support him again; that Shannon was broken
down politician who seemed to have lost all SELF
respect and was merely fighting with the Pro
Slavery men for tie sake of his office. The
speaker alluded very con,emptuously to the state
ment By Shannon that the District officers, elected
BY the Shawnee Legislature over the heads OF the
people, were only elected for four, not SIX
Years, as had been represented. Parrot said
that it vas the principle ra her than the time, aud
that to elect them for ten minutes was an out
rage He remarked tbatthe Governor had said to
him that the laws of the Legisat ire we're not 80
very bad Parrot thought they were s. very bad
If thew were enforced he would be sent to the
Penitentiary, as would four ffths Of those within
the sound Of his voice. They were uncOnsttu-
tional unprecedented. tyrannical outrageous; and
vet the speaker would only apply legal remedy
to them He was not afraid OF that.
The speakers were both received with hearty
applause by crowd of listeners, nearly all clti-
zeDs Of Leaven rOrth.
McCrea's trial has not come on yet The pre-
lmir airy steps ara being taken, and he Will likely
be srraened and called on to plead on Monday
unless bis attorney succeed in getting change OF
venue to Tecumseh, which leara he wishes to do!
Yesterday one of The Grad Jurors who helped
to find the bill for murder against McCrea, was
expeed from the Grand Jury, and indicted for
beitg concerned in the Lyncbing OF Phillips. Sew
eral others have been indicted for tse sane ofene.
We understand the evidence in the case is
gerry decided but the actors appear to regard
the attempt to bring them to justice as not very
much TO be dreaded. a motion was made to strike
tie Dame If Mr.. Johnson, who was engaged Ia that
affair and other names, from the list OF AttOrnles
before the Court This motion seemed 70 excite
the ire Of Judge LecOmpte What may be done
in the case do not know; but | suspect nothing
