Oar citizens have learned with as:ogish-
mont and not a little Indignation, that the
cannon which was procured several years
ago from the State Arsenal for the use Of the
"SIiie,js Guards" of this city, was struggled
of By the band Of heroes" that left this
city for Kansas on Monday Of last week.
The "Shelds Guards a. 4 military compa-

of the individuals who entered into bonds
to the Governor for its safe keeping and rc

y. L. Gibson, Esq, lad no knowledge Of
any purpose TO take it, but the other, Geo
:. Fisher, It IS understood, assumed tie re-
spoas.ti!i;y Of letting it 20. The cannon
vas brought to Ottawa at / considerable cx-
pensc, in defraying which our citizens OF al
parties bore : part, and with the understand
ing that il was to be used OF all proper oc-
cas;ons by either party. The body Of cur
citizens, then have a right to complain at is
being thus clandestincly distracted. But
there IS q much mere 5orious view of the
case II. Fisher may be able ani entirely
/ willing to make good to the state the value
/ Of the gun, but this can in no sense excuse
the impropric!y Of the act. The gun vas
received Of the state 70. 4 specific purpose,

that to which this gun has been !cnt. ",
make nc objection 10 ten thousand e.Eicran;s
TO law against their bearing appropriate
arms for self defence. But a cannon is no;
one Of these arms. Artillery means war
and any band Of men starting on az cxpcii
lioa with cannon intend that which, in the
present state o! Kansas, and under the pro.
carnations Of Gov. Gcary, is called treason
The question then is, shall the arms Of our
state be taken from the arsenal under falls,
pretences and sent for reasonable purposes
to Kansas: Were the attempt made 10 take
our state arms from the arsenal for any such
PURPOSE, the whole power OF the state would
be called in to resist it, yet we see no differ.
ence between taking arms from the arScna,
directly and perverting their use after being
obtained for other purposes.

his party feelings to get the better Of his
judgment in this matter, and as one claiming
to be his personal friend, we hope ne may
not yet have very serious cause to regret al

As coming from so insignificant concern

ciaration, Which we cut from that sheet, is
entitled to no attention, did it not assert
what is now the common language and pur-
pose of the fusion leaders. Says that paper
We desire to see peace restored TO Kan

slave driving masters would have by giving
the South full possession of the territory.
1t Is evident that there can be no peace

This consideration should impel large em-
gratons from the North, with all the means

The democratic doctrine and that of the
constitution is that the territories are the

they have generally found their way back to
Gen. Reid and his gang, Gov. Geary next
started in pursuit of Lime with view of
disbanding his army; but the accounts say
Lane and about 200 Of his followers had
fed from the territory, taking with them
everything they could lay their hands upon
