In "DURANoE VILE
Camp near Lecompton,
Tuesday, June 3, 1856.
Dear Sir: Your note of the 10th ult. is this
day received. 1t would afford me much pleas
IRE TO visit the East at this time, but Frank
Pierce has decreed otherwise. Last Fall threats
were made against Lawrence, and our citi- j
zens and the people prepared for their protec-
ton, and the place was saved but the citi-
zens were indicted Tor treason, because the
Presidents tools said they only ''intended' to
enforce legal process, and we were accord
ingly armed against the United States Gov
ernment. The President, in message and
proclamation. denounced us as traitors, and
Endorsed the bogus officers in the Territory,
and pledged them the service of the Army
and Navy of the United States, and the mill
tia CT several States, to subdue the people of
Kanzas In consequence of this action Of the
President, the people of KanZas decided to
leave the towns and villages unprotected, and
the Presidents tools to execute his will with
out opposition. About the 9th of last month
left for the East on business of my own, and
had no sooner lett than the signal was given
for the commencement of operations. was
detained by mob at Lexington, Mo-, an in
dictment found by packed jury, and pro-
clamaton Issued calling upon all who desired
fo dor hn
command Of the United States Marshal. The
people, not believing the President intended
to outrage humanity, kept about their bust
ness, and offered no opposition to the officers
posse They have, however, learned by Bit
ter experience, that there is no greater outlaw
| in this country than Frank Pierce, who, after
arresting few men, and disarming the peo-
| pie, bombarded the town, blew up and burned
the best hotel in the country west of St.Louis,
with its furniture, destroyed two printing Off
| ces, burned my house, barn, and outbuildings,
with furniture, library, papers, wearing ap-
parel, and everything lnfammable; robbed
! and pillaged the whole town, carrying away
and destroying tens of thousands Of dollars
worth of property belonging to the hard.
working pioneers.
The men belonging to the same posse many
| of whom are enrolled as his militia, have since
| been robblng and plundering Free-State peo-
| pie wherever they could find them, till now
! The people have risen in their might and have
| commenced protecting themselves. Civil
war now RACES in Kanzas, and nothing but
the steedy suppression of those armed invad-
| ers under Shannon, Buford & Co., can save
! the country from destruction. The people
are driven to Madness, and will bear no more
! outrages, even from the President of the
| United States Judge 6. w. Smith, q. w.
Tapk m
self, all, save the last the most quiet and the
best citizens of Kanzas, are now guarded
in the open prairie by United States troops
under charge of treason. here to remain till
next september, when, if they so decide
Jury will be packed, mock trial will be held,
and we shall be hung. Suchis now the state
of affairs in Kanzas. The people of Kanzas
have determined henceforth to protect their
lives and property with their own strong arms,
and it is to be hoped that the people Of the
country will approve their course, and place
some man in the Presidential chair, who will
not rob, plumber, and prosecute the citizens
of infant States, because they happen to differ
from him N politics. The present of our be-
loved country is dark and ominous of evil, the
future is in the hands of the free voters-of
tho Sons nf Iiborty.

against Col. Benton's support of the Cincin-

that his purpose is to defeat Buchanan by
disappearing his position on the border

and very elaborate on this subject. 1t says:
