THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 25, 1856.
Latest from Kansas-Missourian Re-
turning Home,

By the steamer David Tatum, which arrived
at this port last evening, from the Missouri
river, we learn that peace and quietness reign
in the territory, and the people are everywhere
acknowledging the authority of Gov Geary.
The Tatum brought down from the border
country, some three hundred Missourians, to
Boonville and other points, who had enlisted
for the war, but in obedience to Gov. Geary's
proclamation, had disbanded and were return
ing home.
This news will be hailed from every quarter
with unmixed delight.-MissOurs Dem
1t is plain that the policy of Governor Geary
is TO patch up peace, at least until after the
Presidential election. He will promise anything
and perform all in his power, to preserve the
peace, without reference to law or principle
He will give practical illustration of the pre-
cept of President Pierce, that people in terri.
tories should pay more attention to their per-
sonal interest and less to principles.--C -Cinein-
matt Commercial.
1t is plain that the policy of the Cincin-
natl Commercial and other abolition sheets,
who look to Kansas outrages'' for fuel to
keep their political pot boiling, is to find
fault with Governor GEARY and the
PIERCE Administration" let them do what
they will to restrain peace and quietness in
the Territory.
Not single act has Governor GEARY yet
performed-not single word has he yet
uttered, which authorizes the charges so
positively and shamelessly preferred against
him by the Cincinnati Commercial.
The Commercial shows evidence of dissat-
isfaction and disappointment at the turn
affairs have taken in Kansas, since Governor
GEARY assumed the authority conferred upon
him by the President. 1t was not prepared to
see so ready asubmission to the requirements
of his proclamation on the part of the "Border
Rufians''-such a willingness to leave all
questions of controversy to the peaceful and
impartial decision of the bollot-box. The
Commercial is also evidently chagrined at
the course taken by the Free State men,
who have been so vigorously pursuing their
work of insurrection and bloodshed for the
last few weeks. 1t hoped to see them main-
tain an open resistance TO the laws of the
Territory, and meet Governor GEARY with
a spirit of defiance, contesting his authority
till the last man of them, upon one side or
the other, should have been driven from the
territory.
The language of the paragraph which we
quote from the Commercial, clearly implies
this, and the entire article, of which this is
but the commencement, is studied effort to
provoke the friends of FREMONT to keep
alive the disturbances in Kansas, at all haz-
ards. If such men as the editor of the Com
naercial, and others who are so noisy in de-
manding the blood of victims with which to
carry on their political crusade, could alone be
made to experience the evils of their fiend-
ish policy, the country would have little to
regret in seeing it fully carried out. But
when the whole people of Kansas are to be
the sufferers, while the real instigators of vi
olence and outrage stand aloof from the scene
of danger and work the wires, the common
voice of humanity cries out against it.
A few such exposures of the cloven-foot.
on the part of the Abolition leaders, will open
the eyes of thousands who have been sedu-
ced into the support of FREMONT through
these displays of mock sympathy for the
bleeding and outraged people of Kansas"
