The r,inors that large bod.cs OF men were githorsg
together at Lcavenwor,h, Wrtpcu aud Lutte S.o.,
Fe for the purpcse Of another nvaSor have proved
to be more than rumoTs. On Friday last toe RuiRins
threw the er g,ne, boider and other machcog Ms
large saw.mil, into the Missouri. at Kan'as City.
1t was the property Of th. New England Enigrsnl
Aid Society ana wss consigned to the firm Of Walker
& Chick, iorw srdrg merchants and had not bes de-
ver,d TO the agents of that Society. This firm. OF
course, will be the losers if the laws Of M,soun are
good for anything.
Yesterday, committee Of five OF The CITIZENS o.
Lawrence waited upon the Governor at Lecompon, 10
see what course he wac going to take IN regard to
these mobs which were about to mach upon u, and
to see whether he was s wiling to carry out faith.
fully his side Of the treaty of last Sunday. When they
reached Lecompton they found Wcocson acting As
Governor He was in the tent quarters Of the oil.
GERS in commsnd of the troop', eight hundres in mum
ber now at LesomptOn. The committee stated to
Wcodson that the people of Lawrence were out OF
proysoIs tha' their roads were b,ockadei by armed
mOba: that two Cf h,i tcamscIs had been murdered,
and that they desired to know whether be would
grant them guard to their teams to Westpot aud
Leavenworh, or leave them TO guard their own
teams ard open the roads They desired to know
further whether he intended TO luterpose With tho
troops to prevent this overwhelming mob from mur
dciing burning and plagiug or whether he intetdet
hat they, the people Of Lawrence. were to take care
of themseyes?
Thee questions were asked Woodson directly by
the Committee, snd . at gentleman vouchssled ths
reply: that if tic people at Lawrence would obey the
laws (the BOgue laws), andif he Woodsor could hsye
ASSURANCES to that fct, this hiRg that is the pro
Lost invasion could be settled in Grc houTs-.hN he
would bring tho troops, of which he Is commander in
chief to bear upon these mobs aid cisper'e them.
Now, it would not he easy to conceive OF more
impudCnt rcmsrk from any official, and especially
fiom n Governor, than this. Reducing it dowo, it
simply ntanr this: " Gentlemen, if you obey these
law, passcd by a mob from Missouri, for your Gov.

Here Gov. WOodsOn protested that he had no desire
to see them murdered, but that the laws must b,
obeyed and wrs must be executed. Some furhS
conference was had with the commanders Of the
United States t:oops; but the Com nitteo came to the
conclusion that If Lawrence is to be defended her Ogn
citizens will have to do it. 1t may be that Wooden,
