New-York daily tribune., 1856-07-30

on the Fourth, 10 or about Iopeha, and tse Wnoi1
matter of interference with the Legislature snoah
he the work of Col. Sumner With his dragons;
believing that the Free-State men had Dec ome so
reckless and blood thirsty tnat tney woun nsse
nre,umptou 10 attack these forces If they under.
took 10 defeat us in our designs Of assembling; and
by this act of rashness to Dc destroyed many OF us
on the ,pot, and the balance hunted over these
prairies and TO the ends of the world as criminals
and traitors. the Free-State cause here TO be
obliterated, and the charge to be rupg from one
end of the country TO the other that we were Jast
what they have charled US to be--a lawless set o,
men, taking the laws into our own hands, ana
treadiI oil authority Of every KIND, even % tne
United States, under foot. God be praised, IN this
plot 10 ruin us they have been defeated. Their
diplomacy is as weak as they are cowardly In
aIms. They are to be caught in the trap set Tor
us. Let the disgrace and the dshonor rest upon
the Government that we were dispersed at the
point of the bayonet, by United States troops ana
at the command of United States military officer,
who distinctly stated that he was acting as the
agent of the President; and when asked II TINS
dispersion was not at the point of the bayonet,
be replied that be supposed that it must so be con-
sidertd, as it was done by authority.
Had il been Missouri mob instead OF Dragons,
tell you il would have been q Fourth such as has
never been witnessed in this country, for know
what say, that our men would have fought IKE
tigers. and they were prepared. And it was with
the gre atest difficulty that the many noble young
fellows that crowded the broad avenue OF Io-
ptka could be restrained from falling on the
troops. And this feeling was not produced by
great indulgence in drinking, for there was not
the least intOxcation visible in town on that DAY.
We do not mean to say that the time Will not
cone when we shall feel it our duty to oppose
the United States officials and United States
troops. ! think can see such crisis, when it
must be done to save the cause OF Freedom. AS
true ss there is God in heaven and sun In
the armament, if the North does not change the
Administration, and Congress refuses to abrogate
these Satanic laws or mitigate their violence,
the people Of this Territory will assert their in-
dependence and throw themselves upon the North
for support. | most sincerely believe that our
people can never again be restrained in their de-
sirts to take vengeance as far as they can upon
those that oppress them. And can see no day
ahead in which should feel justified in doing as
reioce to cay did do at Topeka in trying to pre-
vent a collision.
Itis thought BY some that our Legislature is now
Gefunct and that the Free State Governmental
movement is dead. Not so, not at all. consider
it in better state than ever before. There Is
nothing in this movement TO prevent TINS BODY
from meeting on the day fixed for its annual meet
Jig, the first of January. And it can be called
together earlier, if necessary, by the Governor or
acting Governor. l think this altogether better
than to be sitting for months through this hot
weather, with no money in the Treasury, aud no
OF having sufficient money to pay his board. And
further passing laws that no one pretends to have
the ability to enforce. Each now has gone to his
home with glad heart, to tend his cows, gather
his wheat, cut hay, and prepare home for another
winter.
In the way of farming, have planted sixty acres
of corn Just finished the cutting of forty acres OF
wheat, and it is pretty good; and we are now EN-,
Gagged in getting up mill to cut lumber and grind
our corn and wheat We have tbrashiDg- Dg-machine
and mower, lately brought in by one OF our set
tiers. We have had quite frequent showers, which
have brought forward the corn, with all other
vegetation very rapidly, for man and beast, for the
coming Winter if we are permitted to gather
them. As for climate, nothing can exceed it. My
opinion of the country for residence far surpasses
ANYTHING have ever said Of it, II God and the
| North will only give us Freedom instead o.
Slavery as the basis of our political Institutions
| believe it will be one of the States most sought
after for the next ten years
viii you give us Fremont for the next Presl
dentl Ii you don't, had almost said give u'
| death. man standing at this point OF ooserva
| ton is astoDifhed beyond measure at the old fogy
i'm and obtuseness of the many thousands that cal
| themselves wise and good The follies Of the North
ern Church exceed anything The murders com
mitted upon our plains may be fairly charged U
| her apologies for Slavery. n
