AcTuM LAWS, VALID Laws, O YES -
The border Rufhnn Democracy say the laws
of Kansas are actual enactments, and so
valid and obligatory. We beg to submit, so
is the Constitution of the United States.
The Constitution guarantees freedom Of
speech and of the press in all the national
territory The following is an extract from
the Claws of Kansas. Freemen, friends
of the Constitution, read and refresh your
memories of these outrages upon individual
rights and the paramount law of the land ::
"lf amy FREQ person, by speaking or by
writing, assert or maintain that persons
''have not the right to hold slaves in this
Territory, or shall introduce into this Ter
ritory, print, publish, write, circulate, or
6 cause to be introduced into this Territory,
" written, printed, published or circulated
sin this Territory, any book, paper, maya
" zine, pamphlet or circular containing any
" denial of the right of persons to hold
''slaves in this Territory, such person shall
be deemed guilty Of felony, and punished
"by Imprisonment at hard labor for term
"not less than two years"

DErgoiT. June 6.-The people have this
day subscribed Ipenty- Fire thousand Dol
lars in aid Of the Free State cause I'M Kansas
They promise that the amount shall be swell
ed to Fifty thousand before they leave their
work. As you may suppose, the excitement
in this city is tremendous, and determination
TO act is everywhere expressed. So much
for the nomination Of Buchanan on Pro-
Slavery platform! Three cheers for Detroit !
CINCINNATI, June 6.-The testimony in re-
gard To the stabblng case Of Mr.. Buell., shows
that he was assaulted by Democrats, who heard
him call himself ali American.
The combination against Buchanan only
failed ut the last moment, and that by two or
three votes. Tennessee would have held
outside had Massachusetts, promised to hold
five Votes for Douglass to the end. She
could give but three.
New YORK, June 7.-Governor Reeder has
accepted an invitation from several repro
sentatives Of political parties to address the
people on the Kansas affairs, at the Taber-
nacle on Monday evening.
CONCORD, N. H., June 6.-Governor Met
calfe sent his annual message to the legisla-
ture. to day. One third is devoted to nation
al affairs, principally on the slavery question.
lie denounces the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, Kansas outrages, and the as
sault on Sumner, and attributes the uniform
success of the slave power to their unanimi-
tv on that subject, and their constant threats
OF withdrawing from the Union, as well as
to the compactness of their party ties.
WORCESTER, June Lawrence McClarv
was ms SANITY killed in this city last evening,
by the premature discharge of cannon,
with Which some friends of Buchanan were
firing salute on the Common. A lad named
Geo. Williams was severely wounded in the
arms, feet and face.
Brfr 40, June "A collision took place
last night at Pekin at Niagara Falls division
of the Central Railroad. Mr.. NJ. H. Stevens
of Charlestown, Mass, and VIM. HAYNES,
fireman, were instantly killed. j. w. Han
cock of Mimi, had his leg broken, w. w.
Woodward of Burns, Wis, had his leg broke

SERIOUS FaAcAs.--An ARRAY occurred last
evening on the road, not fur from the resi-
dence Of DIR. Lake, in the northeast part
of the city, in which man named Lewis
DE Camp and an Irshman, whose name we
have not learned, were pretty badly injured.
Il seems that De Camp had stopped in the
road with his team to talk with man on
horseback, when the Irishmen, who were
hauling stone, came along, and some alter
cation ensued about obstructing the highway.
In the course Of the quarrel, one Of the stone
teams got locked in with De Camps, when
the latter caught up stick in his wagon and
struck the teamster severe blow upon the
back of his head. Upon this, another Irish
man named Black, seized stake or some-
thing Of the kind, and running up, gave De
Camp tremendous blow over the eye, knock
ing him senseless. He was taken to DR..
Lakes, and is, we learn, in rather critical
| situation to day. Black was arrested by
Marshal King. brought before Malcolm MUIR
ray, bound over in the sum of $500, and dis
charged upon bail.
The other Irishman is sup and about" to-
day. Iowa City Republican.

AN lNclDEST.--The wife OF Gov. Robin
son on her return to Kansas to meet her
husband, stopped at Bloomington the day Of
the great Convention. Knowing her dest-
tute circumstances since the Government Al
gerines sacked and burned her house, the
Chicago delegates made up purse Of $500
and presented it to her as token Of esteem
and sympathy for herself and her gallant
husband in their present sore persecution.
nhsr way to Alton on the Friday morning
train the passengers made M nurae OF &lnl
in gold and presented it to her. The brave
little woman shed tears of gratitude. She
remarked that the people Of Illinois had big
haartsr and hoped that Gni ~e#la erewn

save their suffering brethren in Kansas from
destruction and determination Chicago

LAW AND ORDER.-Mr. Conway, a resident
Of Kansas, who arrived in our city on Satur-
day last, informs US that after having been
arrested BY mobs in the territory and his life
threatened, he went to Gov. Shannon and
asked him for proper protection from these
outrages. The Governor coolly informed
him TINT he could not grant him projections -
that the conduct Of his friends was such that
both they and he must protect themselves-
and that he would advise Mr.. G. to leave the
territory forthwith! What commentary
upon the temper of the instruments Of Pierce,
Depglass and Atchison.-[St. Louis Demo
