The Storm Rising.

1t appears evident from the signs OF
the times that we are to have another in-
road from Missouri on the Free State
settlers. Preparations are being made
all along the border, and threats Of ex-
termination are continually heard. The
people of tie Territory should be ready
for the blow at any time. 1t may come
in the shape ola guerrilla party, fifty or a
hundred men on fast horses; their hell
ish work may be accomplished, and then
they can retreat, as was the case with the
expedition on Leayenworth a few weeks
ago, when the press and fixtures of the
Territorial Register was broken up and
thrown in the river. Itmay come in the
shape of a regular army with all the
munitions of war, as was the case on the
last of November. Il may come in the
Shape of squads spread out all over the
Territory, demolishing private dwellings
aud killing the inhabitants but come as
it may, there is no doubt but concerted
scheme is on foot for the destruction of
the bona-fde settlers of the Territory,
and the only question which needs an
swering is as to the time. Some think it
will be on the fourth of March, when the
State Legislature conyenes at Topeka
knowing ones among the Missourians
say the Legislature will be broken up
with violence. Others say that Joaes.
who writes "Sheriff of Douglas Coun-
ty," after his name. is now lsboring TO
hasten another issue. He feels that there
was an inglorious termination of the
former invasion-so Ear as he isconcern-
ed--and he is now DESTROYS of trying his
hand again, 10 see if he cannot mend
matters, and re-establish his reputation.
Our friends IN the East may continue
their observations in this direction, for all
is not yet quiet. Tie vclcanoe is >lum-
bering only to break forth with greater
violence, Ii the clouds thicken; ii the
storm shall break upon The country ].
if Kansas shall be plunged into fratrrnal
war, and blood shall actually flow here.
one of the most sanyuinary stru s,les re-
corded on the page OF history viii tran
spire. The end can only be seen when
freedom and slavery shall have rolled to
gether in deadly strife. and tie question
shall have been decided whether liberty
or slavery is national.

Wrong Side.

About the last thing we did before
leaving Pennsylvania was to east our
vote for the reelection of Hon. JOHN
Dick, of Crawford county. as our Rep
resentative ia Congress. At that time
We believed him perfectly reliable upon
the question of slavery in Kansas. To
our extreme NOR i6eation we find him
distracting the House by his vote, and
continuing to use his influence day after
day for FULLER, from Pennsylvania, who
declared in his place that he would
vote for the admission of Kansas
into the Union even ii she applied with
a Constitution tavorins slavery Until
we understand Mr. DIS position better
we shall regret our vote cast for him
Weru.t he will be able to make sat-

The Elections.


The State Elections we're held on

Of Gen. CHAs. RoBrSsoN as Governor,
and the balance of the ticket as nonina-
ted at the State Convention in this city
on the 22d ult., by large majority, and
that Notwithstanding the efforts of a few
demagogues to defeat the regularly selec-
ted ticket. We purpose on some future
occasion 10 show up the inconsistencies
of those half-dozen men who raised the
cry of abolition, !" against the action oil
a Convention composed of eighty dele
gates, who were appointed by the peo-
pie. from all parts of the Territory, and
who put IN nomination good men and
true for Safe officers, without regard to
their former political predictions. L
is our purpose to convince the reader in
due time that they are the most desperate
political hueksters WHO. ever attempted
to wheedle the people into their support
If we fail it will not be for the want o.
facts on which to base an argument
But as they have dug their own political
graves, and have sunk beyond the power
of resurrection, it is proper We should
let them remain in quiet for the present.
and let the stings of a guilty conscience
first perform its work. after which We
will give them a new taste of the ''ioys
to come."
AT Leavenworth no polls were opened
The new Mayor, who drrived his author
ity from an unknown source, in conse-
quance of Mr.. Slocum's resignation,
issued a proclamation forbidding an cleo.
ton. Besides this an armed body oil
men crossed over from Missouri, and
threatened the destruction of the Free
S ate settlers if ballot was had. We
learn, too, that they marched with par
ty into the Territory for the breaking up
of other polls, but with what success we
have not learned.
The following gentlemen were elected
from this District to represent US in the

The division was very great on til,
election of Legislative officers, and thC
vote on some of the candidates was very
close. AS soon as tie returns are all il
we will endeavor to give the result com

The officers will be sworn in on the

AS evidence of the devotion of the
Free State party of Kansas to their prili-
ciples, We invite our readers to hear the
response of Gen. Lane to the demand
of the Missouri invader to surrender
our arms. Gen. Lane is fair represen-
tative of the Kansas squat.er; kind and
courteous to all cool and collected in
the hour of peril--ready to perish rather
than sacrifice principle.
The demand was made by Col. Boone,
upon the bill overlooking the city, in
view of the working parties in the trench

to demand the surrender of our guns,
which he did. Gen. Lane. pointing to-

them all rather than deliver a single
