"a Conseryatiya Yiex.

The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, q
paper which has the reputation of being
one of the most conservative sheets in
the United States, thus discourses on
President Pierce, in closing long ar.
ticle on Kansas affairs. 1t says: -
If President Pierce really wishes to
do something for Kansas, we should ad-
wise him TO begin with purging himself
of a most scandalous inconsistency
81 invoke all good citizens" he says in
his late proclamation on Kansas, 'to pro-
mote order by rendering obedience to
the law" Il is now two months since
Thomas w. Barber, one of the most
respectable and peaceful citizensof Kan
sas, while pursuing journey on horse
back, was shot down in cold blood, and
without the slightest provocation, except
belonging to the Free State party, by one
Clarke, an Indian agent, in the service of
the United States, appointed by Frank
lin Pierce. We have seen no denial of
the fact of the homicide. We have seen
no account that the murderer has been
arraigned before any legal tribunal, nor
have we seen any indication that he eth
er has been or is to be dismissed from Of
fee. If such is the truth-and We be-
lieve that the Washington Uuion, or any
other journal in the interest of the Ad-
ministration, will not dare to deny it,
what effrontery, what immeasurable eff
frontery, does it require on the part of
President Pierce, to ''invoke all good
citizens to promote order by rendering
obedience to the law" He who honors,
and harbers, and subsidies, a murderer,
to lecture American people upon promot-
ing order by obedience to the law 1t is
sickening If the Free State men of
Kansas did not practically honor Law and
promote order to greater degres than
President Pierce has done in trusting.
and continuing trust. in this slayer of an
innocent man. the plains of Kansas
would, ere this, have been reeking with
human gore. It is humiliating to be
under the necessity of using such Ian
guage of the Chief Magistrate Of this
Republic, but these ars not the times for
dallying with the truth. The President
of the United States, like every other
functionary. is to be judged not by his
words but by his acts /; and there is
nothing in his high position to shield
him from disgrace. when guilty of dis
graceful delinquency in duty. We sup
pose that we must be content with small
things from small men. Will President
Pierce then give Us some iRle pledge
that he is earnest in the language he has
used, by Withdrawing his official fellow
ship and support from one of the most
Infamous Of the scoundreis that walk the
earth unhung.

and VIM. H. Shaw, be appointed 10 re-
Feeive con+ribzsioas. aud names Of enai-
grants. and report to subsequent meet
ing.
These resolutions were discussed By
Rev. r. A. Brown, Hon. J. Reynolds,
Rev. A. B. Bradford and others, and
unanimously adopted.
DR.. D. Leasure then offered the follow
ing resolution. which was adopted:
Resolved, That free press must be
Sustained in Kansas, to givs to the world
a fair history of the progress of the great
struggle for free Territory, about to be
waged in Kansas against the. invading
myrmidons of Atchison aud Stringfel-
low.
The Doctor supported the resolution
by warm and earnest appeal on behalf
of the free State settlers, and free press
of Kansas, and especially on behalf OF
the Kansas Herald of Freedom, edited
and published at Lawrence city. Kansas,
by Geo. w. Brown, formerly of the
Conneautville Courier, Crawford coun-
ty, Pa.
The committee constituted by the
fourth resolution. next proceeded to take
contributions to aid in carrying out the
objects which it sontemplates, and secur-
ed $l57. Three individuals, S. D. Boul-
ton, s. Robinson, and D. w. Freemen,
entered their names as volunteers for
Kansas. They design making that Ter
ritory their permanent home.
The minutes were ordered to be pub
