A Reason for Voting for James Ruch-



For two years Missouri Ruffians have had
full sway, to rob, plumber murder and outrage
the people of Kansas-burning their houses,
destroying their crops, stealing their horses and
cattle, outraging women and children and MUIR
dering men everywhere in the territory. But
one month before the election, these fends are
stopped in their mad career, as they could have
been at any time, and peace in part restored-
And the people are gravely asked to support
and keep in power the party which has permit
ted, palliated and excused-yes, aided and abet-
tcd-al these outrages. The party which has
employed fire and sword to force slavery upon
Kansas, now momentarily dcsists, and with
hands red with blood, askes to be continued in
power because they have stopped numbering free
state settlers till after the election? Is not this
an excellent reason for supporting Buchanan?

hOSSs hORS
We understand by those that have taken the
trouble to inform themselves, that the number
of hogs in Iowa this year will be equal to last
year, and some say there is an increase over
Inst year of onefourth and we are inclined to
believe that there must be an increase, from the
fact that the corn crops have been good for the
past year, and our farmers have more land in
cultivation, and as matter of course their
stock has increased. Consequently, there will
be a large increase of hogs from those coun-
tries back from the Mississippi River; and as
Burlington is one of the best pork markets we
expect large increase over last fall. As to
prices We are not prepared to say but little
Packers all agree that the expectations of the
farmers are too high. There has been some
bought by transient men for the eastern city
markets at high prices, that will not do to gov
ern the markets at the regular season. We
would say to our farmers and drovers try and
have your hogs ready fer the early market.

Lecompton, Oct. 2.
To-day after great deal of maneuvering and
running after officials, succeeded in getting
the case of yesterday into court before the U.
s. Commissioner, + n. 0. P. Wood, Esq.
The witnesses being sworn for the prosecu-
ton were questioned closely, but gave very UNI
satisfactory and eyasive answers, so much so,
that in the cross examination l asked but one
question of one of them, and the prosecuting
attorney becoming enraged tried hard to make
one of his witnesses perjure another, but this
the court would not let him do, and he arose
and said Il enter 4 "nolle prosequi' i'll this
case as the id witnesses scont smear 10
what ,caat then, to-" Consequently the prison
ers were released, without any defence being
made. sE Ess!7 s.'sFi @2
The fact is the witnesses were all but one
free state men and could not be bribed to
swear falsely although the attempt was made to
getthem to do so, which can abundantly prove
and may yet do upon a charge of false mpri-
sonment. asee ~ e2

that we should gratefully acknowledge the good

whereas the projections Of The State from insur

this protection. 5sn
