An Indianian MObbed in Kansas.

The Indiana Journal. of yesterday. has
a lamentab BILE epistle TO its readers, giving
an account of IAN outrage committed on
A. G.. Patrick, formerly Of this State. -
The Journal also published Patricks own
statement of the affair. in which he at
tempts to excuse himself from all blame,
and create the impression that he was an
innocent, nnoffrnding martyr to the cause
of freedom; that although he abused the
conduct and &c lions Of the pro slavery
men in Kansas. they had no right to no.
lice his insults. or to resent his taunts and
bravado denunciations. He admits that
he INDUCED very freely in his remarks.
and for day or two. almost del fed the
10 their teeth. No wonder such conduct
provoked the people of Kansas some-
what. nor is il strange that they gave
him q slight evidence Of their displeasure
in the shape Of a fogging. Probably if
he had governed his tongue, and used res.
pectful language. his hide would not have
lelt the indignant lash of an insulted com.
munity. Some men can only become no.
torious by silly and impairment conduct.
and some are mean enough to seek motto.
rieiy--even kicking--in order that the
may excite public sympathy in their be-
half.
Bnt who is this Mr.. Patrick. that has
thus suffered in flesh and in his good
name. by the "border ruffians" of Kansas?
We will answer. He is man Of impul-
sive. irregular temper; man Of vicious
and malignant prejudices; a most scared
and unmitigated traducer Of other mems
character; a man of no refinement or del.
.icacy, without courtesy, or good manners;
fanatic in politics, and almost fool in
! Judgment. He left Greencastle few
months since on a crusade TO Kansas. un.
der the Shnrpe's-rifle fever, with a view
20 immor,alize himself as one of the
cham pions of freedom. He has perform
ed his mission, and now comes back ic
Indiana. to be considered a martyr in the
cause Of Kansas liberty. and to receive
the sympathy of such abolition papers a!
the Indiana Journal.
He is the son Of the late Ebenezer Pat
rick. Of Salem. Washington county. Ind
His ia Their was for many years editor o
an anti Democratic paper. and. at last
ended his existence by committing sui
eide. We hope better fate awaits hi
unfortunate son. $50 much for Buck

We can bes. testimony 10 every wore
of the Sentiners description Of the char
acler Of This Patrick, having known hin
from the tenth year Of his sge, and knoa
him to be base, ungrateful and insulting
puppy. This is doubtless the way an,
of the horrifying mob stories get afloat

clustering so much about them, knew tn
