They are required 10 meet at Hartford for
three days. commencing ON. such Tuesday

most convenient point, and Officers receive
compensation and mileage for. attendance.

KANSAS OUTRAGEs.

Nearly every mail gives us an account Of
some new act Of sutlianly violence perpetra-
ned BY the champions Of slavery. The ST.
Louis Democrat states that all along the
Missourifiver the Atchisonites are stationed
at the various landings for the purpose of
threatening the emigrants who are on their
way to Kansas, and provoking them if pos
sible to encounter, in order that they may
have an excuse for personal violence. Nei-

can touch the Atchisonite, and that is we'll

When.G Gov. Reederwent up. the Missouri
| river, crowds thronged the levee at every
landing, and he was several times. Iudely
insulted. The Governor kept cool and re-
piled in a manly way to whatever remarks
| were personally addressed to him. One
i bully told the Governor he had a friend at
Weston, Mos who could collect 10, 900 men
il, necessary, and search every part Of Kan,
sas' hut that he would find the Governor and
hang him. The Governor thanked him for
his information, and added

The complacency with which the Admin
