MesSTs. Edito,5:
I noticed in your issue of The 9th inst
an article headed Border Ru(ianism in
Mecca" and in perfect candor, and a
zeal which knows no superior in the
great interests Of the Republican party,
l feel It my duty to say that with my
self and other gentlemen in Mecca, J it
meets with a hearty condemnation.
The facts in the case are simply these:
three young ladies of Sufficient determi-
nation TO accomplish the distance be-
tween Warren and Mecca on foot, under
Il challenge, came 10 the latter place and
stopped al the house Of Mr.. J. Hezlep,
and were cognizqnt to the fact that the
pole, intended 10 bear the STARS and
Stripes" in honor Of Freedom, the Union
and Fremont, was sawed in twain. Their
interests being with The opposite party,
when they left town they hurrahed for
Buchanan. This is THEIR CRIME, and
for Mis the righteous indignation of the
pubIis is 10 be called down upon the in
offending heart of a good citizen, calling
his house, the Only house in Mecca
where such things are tolerated and en-
eouraged. Mr.. H knows nothing of the
circumstance, and was only made aware
of the rufianism stamped upon his house
hold in connection with the young lady
inmates from Warren, by a public print,
and ousidc report, or his return from
Pennsylvania the day succeeding.
Mr.. Ii. is a gentleman, and respected
in the town of Mecca, and elsewhere, as
a citizen, whether acting in a private. or
public capacity, and as such, in justice
to him, aid to the town, and more than
all 10 the Republican cause, which l
represent, and for which l labor, in my
humble way, with as strong a zeal as any
in the land, l make this statement.
Yours. &C.. JUSTICE.

The work of arresling Free State men
was going on by connivance Of Governor
Geary, who was using troops at his com
mand for the enforcement of the laws OF
the Bogus Legislature. In this bad
work he is assisted by the notorious Col.
Titus and a band of $50 MissouIians. who
have been mustered into the territorial
Militia. Men are arrested upon the most
frivolous pretexts, and thrust into prison
to await The pleasure Of Judge Lecompte,
who is mani:estly chuckling over the
success of the newly devised scheme Our
informant does not know what number
of arrests have been made; but he is sure
that, despite all the roberies, rapes, ar
sons and murders that they have com
mitIed, no q pro Siarery man has fell the

S0u.herl Logic.
The Richmond Enquirer Of Oct. 9Th.

The Richmond Enquirer of Oct. 9Th,
says:
The Republicans know the history
of the Missouri Compromise too well to
suppose the South guilty of bad faith in
repeating the Missouri restriction. They
well kDo 3 hat the restriction was but a
part of the Compromise, and that the
other provision embraced by it, was not
carried out by the North. The admis-
sion of Missouri was the consideration
promised TO The South for the restriction
imposed on slavery. The restriction was
adopted at one session of Congress, and
at the next when Missouri applied for
admission, she was three times rejected
By an overwhelming Northern vote, and
finally squeezed in against a Northern
vote of SO 10 9. Thus the Compro-
mise was abandoned and the anti
slavery restriction adopted on the faith
of it remained.
Is not that i nice specimen OF logic?
Although the south had received its
share Of territory, according to the com
pact, and Texas, a territory larger than
New York and all the New England
States combined, had been admitted as
a slave State; still, because some OF the
Northern members had opposed the pas
sage of the bill in the FIRST place, and
opposed the admission Of Missouri as a
slave State, therefore the compromise
was abandoned. 1t was not abandoned
SO far as Texas was concerned on No..
1t was good enough law 10 make slave
states, but not free states:
This is on the same principle as, heads
l win, tails you lose.

Alf. Patrick. Esq formerly editor of
the Putnam County Banner, was hung
in Leavenworth, by the Border Rufians
a short time since. The news first came
as a rumor, which was not believed ill
verified by a letter to one of his relatives.
Mr. Patrick was well known over the
State as an editor. He was 4 vigorous
and spicy writer. and before his depart
ure for Kansas was a strong ~pro-slavery
and advocated the American cause.
After his arrival in Kansas, and be had
an opportunity of observing the course
and conduct Of the pro slavery men there
he wrote home letters signif, ing a de
cided change in his views, and detailing
dangers he had escaped from holding
opinions sympathetic with those of the
Free STATE men. The news is 0 here,
that for holding and declaring his honest
opinions, he has been hung.
