The sale ot the Delaware lands ut Fort
Leayenworth, advertised To commence last
Monday, il is possible may have produced
very great excitement. Large numbers of
spectators were on hand 10 purchase, aud
IT the squatters were mOlested III their claims,
il isyery probable that violence cnsaed. No

States has taken place IN the last thirty years
in which the pioneer did not claim the right

We hope it may be avoided on this OCCASION.
But the next adyices will probably tell the

We copy from the Chicago Tri5sse the
~sabjoined extract from a letter dated Lesv-
cnworth City, July 10, in relation 10 the
cours TO be pursued BY Gen. Smith,
sYesterday a delegation Of our citisens
waited upon Gen. Persifer +. Smith, 1t his
quarters at Fort L~eavenworth. to lay their
/ grievances Lefore him, and ask his interpo.
sition as military commander Of the forces
in the Territory, TO protect their lives and
| their property from the bands of armed ma.
RAIDERS from South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama, who are stationed over Va at the
different river towns, armed with United
States arms, and supported by contributions
furnished from Missouri. When asked for
relief to dispense these armed military
bands, as Free State men nave been dis
persea in the Territory. his reply is that he
has no authority-that these bands are reg
ularly enrolled as militia Of the Territory,
and that everything they do is done under
color OF law. and that we (the Free State
men) have no redress except in the future,
by resort to the civil powers that be!
If the lives and property OF our citizens
are destroyed by these armed mobs, there
is M redress for us save BY application to
the civil power, which. as you are wei:
aware, has slready pre-judged our cases.
Truly we are in a lamentable condition.
We may yet be compelled to resort to our
good tight arms and trusty rifles for de-
fencei"
The Buffalo Advertiser contains an article
headed aWan,ed--More Kansas Out
rages,"- ahieh is copied with grea,
gusto by the st. Louis Republican and other
papers of similar sentiments, The article
was intended TO be i~ronical, but it is only
stupid. One would think there had already
been enough outrages in Kansas to satisfy
the most morbid appetite for horrors, but il
is natural that pro-slavery papers should
make light of the scenes which have been
there presented, and mock at the calamities
which have befallen the friends of ireedt m.
| That is their vocation. But it is to be hoped
that the day of recti6c ation is not distant.
We want no retribu,ion. We preach no
woe TO the vanquished. But vi want these
armed plunderers of property, these scoun-
| drel assassins OF life and liberty, to be put
| down with a strong hand, the laws and the
| constitution to be vindicated, and the deep
disgrace which is now resting upon the
American name and American institutions
TO be removed.
But it 10 something worse than foolish to
say that more outrages are wanted. The
subject is not one for jesting. The whole
history of Kansas since the passage of the
Kansas Nebraska bill has been one contin-
ued outrage on the rights OF freemen and
the principles Of republics nism. During
the whole time that has since elapsed, the
Territory Of Kansas has been governed by
a Missouri mob, and that mob has been
supported by the authority of Franklin
Pierce. The orders under which Gen.
Smith is acting were framed at Washington
City, about the same time that the Toombs
and Douglas bill was on the carpet, and his
reply as above given is a conclusive expo
sition Of the true intent and meaning of that
jesuitical performance.

We inyite the particular attention OF our
readers to the letter Of Lieut.. Governor
Roberts, in which he dissecis the Toombs
and Douglas Bill, which, having passed the
Senate, as q matter Of course, is now before
the House of Representatives, where, we
hope, it will receive an efectual quietus
Mr.. Roberts, though he is exposing the
frauds Of most accomplished political trick
stcrs, does not deem it necessary to resort
to any OF the arts Of composition which may
be used to mystiiy q subject. Conscious OF
being engaged in the defence OF a eooa
cause, be IS willing to rely exclusively up
on q plain statement OF facts, and snch o.
vious arguments and deductions as those
facts necessarily suggest. A subject so
plain as this whole Kansas matter needs
the aid of neither sophist;cation nor any
long representative processes. The strong
est argument on the Free State side would
be the plainest possible presentation OF
facts. The simple fact that the bill IN
QucoltOH - tuc Iotht F'S~e
Douglas, would of itself be sufficient 10
show this, it was no, intended 10 deal fairly
BY freedom, but the searching analysis OF
Mr.. Roberts, demonstrates beyond any iar.
ther controversy the evil intentions WIN
which this bill is fraughs,-the serpent that
Turks beneath its fair-seeming proiusion OF
ANNE
deceitful verbiage.
II is proper to remember that the author
Of this letter, being o Democrat, Went 70
Cincinnati with the full belief that the Dem
ocratic Convention there assembled would
do ths, Justice to wronged and outraged
Kansas, that had been denied by the Ac-
ministration. He would not oeheve mat
the great crime Of subiaga,ing that TERN
