The Hartford Press contains the report of
an addressor statement of facts made at a re-
cent meeting in Hartford, by Selden C. Will
liams, former resident of that city, which
shows in the strongest light the cold-blooded
atrocity Of the invaders of Kanzas =
On the strength of the promise of one
hundred and sixty acres of government land
TINS Hartford man, whose name is Selden c.
Williams, enlisted, the third man upon Bu.
lord list, which, at the time Of starting, con-
sisted OF three hundred and Ave men. They
left New Orleans last winter, and proceeded
on their way up the Mississippi. They ar
rived at Lexington, Mo-, on Sunday, and i'm.
mediately thereupoR the ministers suspended
their services for the purpose of giving them
reception. A procession was formed, and.
accompanied by band OF music, the ruffians
were escorted to one of the churches, where
they were welcomed by addresses, which the
narrator termed Border Ruffian Sermons
their burden being exhortations to do all in
their power to glakc Eunzas q slave State
by words, if possible, if not, BY blows. At
hanzas City they tarried three nights. a nor.
ton of them sleeping in the open air in prefer
ence to patronizing the Free State Hotel at
that place.
At Westport, Buford provided carts and
oxen with which to transport the baggage and
provisions, and Williams, being used 10 drv-
ing oxen in Meriden, was appointed boss
teamster. Eight miles above Westport the
train was divided into several parties. and
Williams company proceeded towards LIE.
compton. On their way thither some died
from hardship and exposure but after ten
days OF wading through prairie mud and ford
ing creeks, they arrived at their destination
Lecompton Here they unexpectedly found
two other parties of their company. who. al.
though starting for other points, with the OK.
pectation OF going directly to their lands, had
been conducted to Leeompton by their leaders,
Before night another company arrived, and
another, and still another, until they were all
together again at Locompton! Why they
were thus collected viii appear by the subse-
quont movements. Mr.. Williams related the
following incident -
" When we were about mile west Of Law.
renee, one day, ON our way to Leccmpton,
was mile or two ahead of my company,
looking for a suitable place to pitch our tents,
when met three respectable looking gentle
men, and was asked by one OF them, where l

matter with me, however, when he told me

"THE MORE HASTE, THE WORSE SPEED"
Simple hearted people asked the other day,
with some surprise, why the government
closed the armory, with Congress in session
and the passage Of the Army Appropriation
bill hourly anticipated. The thing is clear

ed that it should loose the opportunity TO try
this small game of intimidating and coercing
American workmen. The passage of the bill
before the trick had hardly time to be tried on
all the establishments, has turned what was
meant for tragedy, into ridiculous farce.
But the Buchaneers have gained something
by tit will be easier now to refuse to re-
employ discharged workmen, who refuse to
sell their votes for bread and butter, than it
would have been to have discharged them
openly and squarely for that reason In
business so unmanly and contemplate, and
never before openly undertaken in the gov
ernment works, the instruments of the black
power of the South, should certainly be al
lowed the benefit of any alternating device of

working -men into the support of slavery ex-
