From The Kansas Tribune
SHARP's RIFLES NOT GIVEN CP.-Ihe maraudors
who came to Kansas TO teach us obedience 10 the
laws demanded Sharp's rifles AZ of the conditions
Of peace, but they didn't get them They went back
and reported that we refused to fight aud had agreed
DO obey the laws and surrender the rifles. Some OF
the men perhaps believed the story but the officers
had good reason to know that it Not true. The
demand treated with the conempt which it
deserved Ii If said that some of the rabbie insisted
on taking them, and were only prevented from the
terrible consequences which would have followed, by
their superiors telling them we had agreed to give
item up to the United States troops, to save trouble
Those instruments arr personal property which can
only be taken by the seVercst struggle and when our
people are unable to defend them. When these fol-
lows tell that agreed 10 support the laws just ask
them where they deposited the rifles which they took
at the same time We never surrendered the one nor
sueeumbed to the other.

into the Territory TO vote and 90 declare himself in
favor of Free State.
BALLOT-BoN DTSTROYTD.-About an hour after the
the voting commenced al LoaVcnworth, party of
villains rushed upon the Judges and violently wronched
the balot-boXos from them. There were few persons
at the polls, and time had for resistance Such
outrages, however hut 60 10 show the desperation of
opponents. Measures are being taken 10 secure

OBEDIENCE ILLUSTRATED. A Tenpcssecan was
good-naturedly eShortng to obedience TO the laws
when changing the subject he expressed his firm con-
yictiOn that slavery legally existed IN Kansas, and
politely asked our candid opinion. "Alas!" we re-
