Territorial laws. Our last accounts In
form us that there are 1, 500 men at the
campsat Wakarusa, six miles this side of
Lawrence. They have six pieces of ar
tillery in camp. ss..s..
"We learn that the Freesoilers have
seven companies, of fifty men each, well
drilled, in Lawrence but that they have
no artillery. We are also in formed, that
they have proposed to surrender the men
who engaged in rescuing the prisoner
from the possession of the sheriff; and
it is understood that the Governor went
to Lawrence on last Thursday to see
something touching the matters of diff
Guilty. Should this be true, it is proba-
BILE that terms will be made, without
further trouble. This is greatly to be
hoped. All men should deplore the
shedding of blood. And should blood
be shed, none can conjecture when it
would terminate. All history and all
experience teach us. that civil war, pro-
ceed it from whatever cause it may, ends
in the subyersion of liberty, in the reign
of tyranny and anarchy, the sacrifice of
right, and the ,exaltation of the corrupt
and heartless.'''

k"ABoLITIoNIsTs AT LAwRENcE.-W We
had the pleasure of a minute call by our
old friend, the Rev.,C. Sexton, of Kicka-
poo City, yesterday. From him we
learned that messenger had arrived
there from Lawrence, which brought
dispatches confirming all previous re-
porlsof the congregation of the Aboli-
tionists at Lawrence, and their prepara-
tions for defence. The inhabitants of
Lawrence and adjacent country had re-
moved all their women and children be-
yond the reach of harm, and were busi-
ly engaged in throwing up entreneh-
ments and fortifcations for the purpose
of defence. They defy the officers of
the law and are determined to protect
the prisoner whom they arrested from
the hands of the Sheriff. 1ss

The Lone Flower.

Reposing on the parent vine,
A modest fiowret met my view:
Sweet, unassnming, half divine,
Nor conscious of each brilliant hue.
The fire fend had shed his flame,
And swept the distant prairies wild !;
Yet safe from the destr1yer's aims
That fragrant flower looked up and smiled.
It was glow whose kindIing blaze
Flung brightness oier the blackened earth,
And in its chasts and gorgeous rays
kneit TO is transcendent worth.
by heart unclosed-as with q kiss
scanned it's glories DER and Ger
Unchided elasped unsullied bliss,
And would have clasped for ever more.
It might not be-time's mighty arm
Between US cleft chasm then:
Tllst beauty sheds its holy charm,
But ns'er may bless my sight again.
4 guiding star may cleave the haze,
And on my darksned pathway shine
Lead where no shadows meet the gaze,
But never MAJ that flower be mine!
There's many flower that sweetly spri.gs,
And bright as beauteous flowers may be
But none so purely, richly brings
Such calm delight, such JOY to me.
There's many gorgeous, gay parterre,
And many flower adorns the vale
But nsught to me so sweet, so fair,
As that lone flower upon my traiL
Sweet Flower where e'er my footsteps roam,
o'er blackened waste, or blooming lea,
The weary heart will seek It's HONE,
And point all trembling TRUE to-THEE.
Perhaps beyond the blight of time,
Where love regains its vanished store,
Transferred to q congenial cline,
I'll meet thy fadeless bloom once more.

Atchison's Responsibility.

We confess that we have some pride
for the reputation of our county and
State. Every act calculated to destroy
the standing of our county abroad, is an
injury more or less to every man in
Platte county. No one has regretted
more than we have the act of out-lawism
and violence perpetrated in this county.
We regard such course as impolitic,
unwise, and injurious to the prosperity
of this section of the country. and hence
it is that the Reporter has all the time
been the advocate of law and order, be-
lieving that the best interest of all was
best promoted by strict observation of
laws, and proper regard for the rights
of persons and property.
The question of slavery, which was
made the pretext of these unusual events,
was merely a cloak to hide baser and
darker designs for we have yetto learn
that there is any difference on the SUBJ
ject of slavery in the minds of the peo-
pie of this county. They are all in favor
of making Kansas slave State, protect
ing and defending the institutions OF
Missouri. Why, then, should there be
any disturbances growing out of this
question 2 We answer that there is a
Craze suspicion hanging upon the public
mind that General Atchison is the father
of all the outrages perpetrated in this
section. Whether this suspicion be true
or false, it is question we leave for the
public judgment. We know this, how
ever, that General Atchison's friends are
the active instruments in these disturb
ances, and that with his friends his wish
es are law. Il will not be denied by
any, that General Atchison has great in
fuence in this county among his friends.
and that a word from him would be inn
plicitly obeyed. If. then, General Atch-
ison is man who values the peace and
repose of society, and venerates the
laws, it was his duty as good citizen to
have used his great influence to preserve
the peace of this county That word
from him would have been amply sufi-
cient we have not a doubt. : gesxs
He is responsible then to society for
the nom performance of duty which he
owed to people who had long honored
him with their confidence, and We do
not shrink from the responsibility which
deyolves upon US as public journalist to
hold him up to the public gaze. That
another mob was in process of organiz-
ing to go to Parkville, upon a bloody
mission, viii not be denied Ia any re-
spectacle quarter. That information re-
ceived from Jefferson City, by those who
could control the marching of this mob.
which led them to believe that his pros
poets for the Senate would Be injured,
did quiet for the time this mob-spirit, is
too evident to admit of a doubt Nor
was the public meeting at this place with
out It's influence. It has walked up the
law and order people of this county from
a lethaEgy which .pervaded them. that
