Letters Eyolsa Kansas!

The following letters will show conclusive
" that the condition Of things is but little inn
proved since the appearance Of the new Gov
ernor in Kansas. The same over bearing
proslavery tyranny and oppression towards
the Free state party, is continued by Geary'
NE pet aud supple tool of Buchanan, as was
50 freely exercised by his drunken -bloated
predecessor Notwithstanding the pompous
declarations in his inaugural address, that he
would act impartially, and show no special
favor to any party. we find him arresting Free
State men on the most trivial complaints from
the Ruffians, and in no can he be coaxed,
driven or shamed to arrest slavery man
no matter what enormous outrage or crime
he may have been guilty of. But few days
since Gov. Geary had the leaders of a com
pany of peacable free state emigrants arrest
ed on his own ordsr. for offence whatev
er, except the crime of entering the territory
against the wishes OF Border Ruffiauism
On several occasions has he been urgently
requested to have Clark arrested for the muir
der of Barber, but only answered the appeals
with some frivolous excuse, such as, that he

time since, Clark being in Lecompton, the
Governor was informed of the fact, and be-
sought to have him arrested before he left
town, but his informant received only the
cold reply that he would see about it, and
paid no farther attention 10 it. The whole
world must now be fully satisfied that there
is studied and settled design on the part OF
Pierce and Buchanan, through their plant
instrument Geary, to crush out Freedom in
Kansas. Any one who cannot now see this,
must be as stupid as q donkey's offspring.
We would remark that the writer of the
FIRST letter. was known in this community as
gentleman and christian. and in declining
health lie went to Kansas to enjoy milder
climate and also to procure home for wild
owed mother.

DEAR FRIEND - know that yourself and
family will be glad 10 have line from your
old friend, though | never thought ! should
be under the necessity of writing with my
present surroundings. The last news Ire
ceised from any of my Indiana friends was
from ---, which was answered at once;
since that time my life has been full Of ex
element and incident--l can only mention
some prominent items
Some six weeks ago many Of my ncighbors
with myself. were driven from our homes
with threats Of violence and death. If we re-
fused 10 obey. by company OF Border Ruff
fans, fresh from Missouri; at the same time
they helping themselves TO whatever suited
their fancy which they could find about our
cabius--horses, provisions. clothing. bed
ding. cooking utensils. saddles. beet cattle
Sc., all were taken, and We were not permit
ted TO say q word. Some took 10 the brush J.,
but the most Of Us took refuge in Lawrence.
| staid three davs upon the Delaware Reserve
secgetel by day aud venturing to friends 5
house at aight for somethIngto 10 eat; then came
10 Lawrence. About a week after | had left
home started with my chum to return home
after some clean clothes. We left lawrence
about sundoWu and when within about one
mule of home il passing through thicke.,
we were fired upon BY party Of some eight
or ten who were secrete4 there 10 interrupt
any one who might be returning to their
homes. which they were expecting would be
the clsa--we returned fire. not being hit. and
put SpJrS - our horses. and for three or four
miles the back tcack WAS taken in a harry;
thanks to the speed of our horses, we placed
falr distance between US. and took 1t more
lelsurely from there towards Lawreuce-g Civ
lng UP the idea OF going home for that time
Once again We ha3 10 run for our lives during
me night. our alversaries proving very bad
shots, and too many to be faced in open com
na~ We reached Lawrence about sunrise,
having rode owes 65 miles-tha, was one of the
hardest nights work | have ever done |
made another attempt afterwards, but failed
70 get home-ihe roads were all bloekaded
mat same night three men were shot while
passing over the same road which had trsv
eled lew hours, or perhaps minutes before.
