uAnd who is James Shannon, the distin-
guished President of Missouri University p
He endorses the Atchison mob, and at the Dem
Ocratic Convention at Lexington, hort time
ago, he delivered speech, which he had pre-
pared far the occasion, which was so full of
blood and thunder, urging the mob TO even great
or violence upon the rights Of Kansas than
Atchson Co., had yet attempted-that the
fre.eaters themselves Thought il not best TO
publish it, though they endorsed its orthodoxy,
and passed a complimentary resolution, asking
for copy Of the speech, Sc.-J0arHGt
We see from the Boston Times a contralic-
ton of the current reports of the Abolition
press about the new Governor.
Az USNTrIGaTED LrE.-The assertion OF the
Free Soil and Fusion papers, that Governor
Shannon, Of Kansas said in his reception
speech, that che was for slavery in Kansas IS
a falsehood of the bssest character. An author
lied and correct report of this speech is pub
lished in the Missouri Republican, and Is in
every respect unexceptionable in its language
and sentiment. The subject of slavery is not
even alluded TO by the Governor. We append
the concluding paragraph Of the speech, ard
would ask the attention OF our readers TO The
same. Gov. Shannon is an able aud high mind
ed man, and will yet live TO Crush out his
yiperous maligners:

home, but as one desiring for himself and fami-
| ly permanent location; and it shall be my

; bly,, that has adjourned, has provided code o.
LAWS for the Territory. 1t is my duty as an tx
ecutive officer, and the duty of every good eiti
zen, to abide by those laws SO long Ms they re

ton imposed on me by my oath of Office as wei

WHAT IS FusIoS?-A faithful Wing in the Boz
y ton Advertiser says:
!, "Fusion is the absorption of bankrupt polit
s cans-of deceived and disconnected whigs-iI
it 10 an organization where abolition and fanat
n cism overwhelmingly preponderate, and a
n The only element of action"
d In other words fusion is machine TO put T
n nstics into Office. aud preachers into politics
