signal of legal persecution for bogus arrests.
He halted in Massachusetts street of the famous
ety Of Lawrence, and desired a conference with a
Con mtt,e of the citizens The people of Law
renee received him and his accompanying coda
Of Dragons respectfully aud politely. A commit

solemn gravity as characterized the negotiations at
Paris or Campo FOrmiO.
Gov. shannon made speech. He has faculty
for making speeches Not that he is particularly
brilliant as speaker, or even satisfactory. He
wanted ere he parted with the people of the Fer
ritory to have peace arranged between the par
ties. Alter all that bad passed, he wanted " to
lsrt on good terms with all the people. Vain

tesies can blot out the great dead sea OF crime,
presented by his official career
He proposed that there should be an interchange
Of prisoners. He did not propose to give up the
State prisoners held under Indictment but the
Pro- Slavery men ihad five other prisoners whom
they held under a bogus writ, they having been
taken prisoners by the Border Ruffans, the writ

thought.
To this proposal the Free-State people of Law
renee had no particular obeciious. The nineteen
prisoners they now hold they had no particular de-
ire to keep, and scarcely knew what to do with
them. They suggested to the Governor and his
frieDds however that there was no kind of fair.

party to zee this treaty faithfully executed.
Strange as this may appear, this singular agree

Shannon and the Pro-Savery men at LecomptOn

that these articles and men were thus delivered

under the lutterng folds of the national flag, this
Singular negotiation was ratified, and peace for the
time being declared. Scarcely were the ceremonies
over however, ere the tocsin of war from Missouri
began to reach US. Every day brings fresh in
