We wish il distinctly understood that We d.

thing solow as the G4zette-that We do not EN-

state that the present editor Of the Gazette is
A. II. PALMER, Buchanan elector, of Iowa City
Aud now that we have informed our readers
who he is We propose to show those of them
who do not take that deleciable sheet, mhat he
s, as editor, and what's the anilnus of this pro-
slavery paper under his benevolent administra.
ton. The FIRST extracts we give below were
written on the receipt of the intelligence of the
burning Of free state settlement, containing
some thirty houses and the murder OF twenty
or thirty settlers, among the number OavILLE
G. BRowX, who had laid out the town and lived
there peaceably since that time. These mur-
derings and burnings, Of a peaceable settlement
were by an armed band Of three hundred Mis-.
sourians, and all the inhabitants including men,
women and children, driven forth without shell
ter or provisions, like beasts to perish. Mark
how the editor OF the Gazette jubilated over it!
How he rejoiced! ut is q God send!"
1t is stated that Brown was killed. If this
be true it is God send. We should be thank.
full for small tavors. Had Lane been among
the number, there would have been general
rejoicing andthanksgiving throughout the whole
country, North and South.
No one can fail to see how pleasing were
these murderings and burnings in the eye of Mr.
they put metal into his pen and
filed him with thanksgiving IS GOD
SEND" he exclaims, in the fulness of his heart!
But here is another extract wherein this excel
lent christian gentleman, in the fullness of his
heart, extends his good wishes to many out of
Kansas:
a. IL hat
,tate men we're killed. all we have to say is,
It's great pity that Lane and other Of his leading
together with many of the prom
nent leaders of the Black Republican party,
we're not among the number.
Mr. Orville G. Brown dared to move to Kan.
las, to lay out town, build it up, and by his
and energy help to beautify and i'm
,rove that unhappy territory. But he is from
he free states and in favor of freedom in the
erritories. The mails bring intelligence of his
murder and the burning Of his settlement 1t
3 a God send! exclaims the Gazette. Another
ick has been successfully struck for slavery ex-
ension, Brown is killed! Would that several of
he "black republican" leaders we're also among
he number of the slain. No doubt this ben
violent gentleman, with his confederates, sher-
4 Jones, Davy Atchison and Stringfellow, most
rdently desire the death Of every free state
ettler in Kansas and every prominent Repub- |
can in the country, and had they the power
hey would soon accomplish this daring pur
,ose Then We should have shrek for slaue-
u long and loud. But let what will be the case
a Kansas, we have, thank God, freedom Of
peech and of the press, and protection for |
ersons and property in Iowa! Our throats
re not to be cut by Buchanan electors, howe
er ardent they may be in their bloody aspira-
ons. They can jubilate over the slain-they
an rejoice over the spilling of blood-they are
,elcome to talk daggers but must use nome
they do, we shall teach them that equal laws
, Iowa hang men for murder, however COM
,endable it may be in their eyes in Kansas.
Kansas Munitions Destroyed.
We are happy to learn from the Iowa Capt.
Al Reporter, that there is still extant in our
ap,al city, some of the spirit of rs which i'm
elled our fathers of the revolution to empty
nc British tea in Boston harbor. 1t appears
nat the armory OF the Kansas invading forces
as entered the other night by some true heart.
d American; as veral boxes of muskcts, am
,unition, &c., taken out, and their contents
ompetey destroyed" This will be hailed as
ood news and an omen Of good by every true
,ver of the Union in Iowa. More anon.
The above is from the Gazette of last Sunday
lorning. At Iowa City, as we understand it,
Dlne border ruffians broke into a warehouse
nd destroyed some boxes, the property OF pri-
ate citizens, which, according to the Gazette,
ontained muskets aud ammunition and were in
ended for Kansas settlers. This act, which
as nothing more nor less than burglary, accor-
ing to their own showing, was probably COM
lifted by, or at the instigation Of, the leaders
f the pro-slayery party, who are bound on all
ccasions and at all times to do all they can for
he extension Of the pat. iarchal institution. 1t
applauded by the Gazette as an act of patriot
I'M, notwithstanding the perpetrators are burg
.rs under our laws. Considering the stand |
hat paper has made in favor of '.law and Or |
er" and ''peaceable acquiescence," !" it does look
little inconsistent for it to bejubilating over
iolation of the criminal laws of Iowa!'
We leave Mr.. Palmer where we find him, in |
a the ditch, in what seems to be a congenial
lement, promising not to disturb him in his
ocation, except so far as may be necessary to
how hisl benevolent views, and the nature of

The chmond Enquirer, of Sept. 9th, gives
