DEAR sm:--The conspiracy against
Free Labor aud Northern Institutions is
likely 10 be successful. 0ssawatomie
has shared the fate of Lawrenoe-the
fate Of every Free State city in this dis.
tracted Territory.
Between one hundred and City and one
hundred aud eighty men--part Of Gen
Whit6eld's invading army, and partly
he prisoners released by Col. Sumner
made q descent upon our town yesterday
about Eve O. clock, and completely sacked
our houses
We had bought all the material for 4
weekly paperi type, furniture. ink and 4
year supply Of paper; the mob broke th,
press, scattered the type about and des
troyed other materials. Freedom of the
press in Kansas is penitehtiary offence,
and our kind friends from Missouri--youI
honorable fellow citizens-afraid that w,
might fall into temptation offiee speech
have removed the temptation from us.
One Free State man was shot dead OF
the highway. His assassin is unknown
Some seventeen horses were taken from
our fields aud ST. bles by the Southern an,
border mob. l do not think that Gen
lWhiteheld was among them.
Twenty nine or thirty houses wer,
plundered Of every thing the mob coulr
carry. They left Immediately after 70
West port, loaded down with plunder.
Rings were even taken off ladies fin
gers, earrings out Of their ears, and col,
ornaments from their wrists and dresses

the North say TO this2 How will ou
"NAtional" man excuse it?But, after all
ought not 10 woudetat the conduct q

until Slavery no longer curses MS at hom
and disgraces us abroad.
