at any previous time. The outrages of marauders
who have infested the Territory committing theft,
robbery, arson, rape and murder for the last few
months have at length become intolerable. The
Free State settlers, wearied with looking for aid
from the North have takeh redress into their own
hands, and seem now ready to defend their rights
and avenge their wrongs with their own weapons.
Our friend G. S. 5. GriHing who has just arrived
from Leavenworth has brought us St. Louis papers
from which we make selections.
The St. Louis Daily Democrat of the 2lst con.
tains the following editorial statement:
As we have given verbatim the printed accounts
Of disorder that have reached us from Kansas, and
which proceed from the organs of the pro-slavery
party. it is but fair that we should annex those
which have reached us from the free State party
through gentlemen who arrived in the city yester-
day. One of these informs us that on August 9th
a military camp, consisting of some $50 pro.slavery
men were driven off from their position, four miles
from Ossawattomie. Our informant states that
the plundering of provision wagons, proceeding
from Kansas city to that point, had been traced to
this camp, and hence the demonstration against it.
lie says that Franklin, near Lawrence, was q rem
devious for some sixty or seventy southerners who
committed tresspasses upon the property of free
State men, similar to that recorded above, and were
besides, carrying on the stealing of horses. On
the 18th these men were routed in an engagement,
which resulted in the death of one free State man
and the wonnding Of three. Seven pro-slavery
men were wounded. Williams, a Missourian, who
had expressed himself in favor of the Free State
party, was shot by one Mcbride, q pro.slavery
man, while the former Was mauling rails. He
died in II few hours after receiving the contents
of the others gun. This took place on the 10th
inst.

OF sixty sotherncrs, on Washington creek, was ia.

BODY, and left dead in the road, His horse was
taken. The people of Lawrence called upon the
United States troops to act in the matter. As they
declined, about two hundred of the Free State peo-
pie marched on this camp, which retreated to Le-
com pton. The Free State men receiving a rein.
forcemcnt proceeded to Lecompton on the morning
OF the 10th. From the numerous reports of artil-
iery heard in that direction during that day, it
is presumed that a sanguinary engagement must
have been fought at that place. Particulars un-
known.
On Sunday the 18th, L%eavenworlh city was alive
with the preparations for another incursion into
the territory. Dispatches were being sent to Liber.
ty, Platte City. Delaware, &C., with the offer of
81 so per day for men. The excitement was pass.
ing all bounds, and one thousand recruits were ex-
pected to arrive in the place by the morning of
the 18th. Large numbers of the circular which
we publish to-day had been distributed through
the border counties and down the river as far as
Brunswick. Invading parties had been organized
at lndenendenco, Weston, Lexington and at other
places. From the extensive preparations made, it
was supposed that Lawrence would be reduced to
ashes this evening. We give this on the authority
of a gentleman who arrived in Ou- city yesterday
from the seat of war. His narrative is a sad one
indeed well fitted to move the utmost solicit
tude of the true hearted and patriotic Of our
citizens.

an address to the public, calling the people to arms.
The citizens of Lafayette county. Mo-, held a
public meeting and also issued an address calling
on the historians to come to the rescue of the pro-
slavery men from the hands of the 'abolitinists."
The address closes as follows:
Now is the time for ACTION. We must hare
men 10 90 into the Territory Immediately or all wiU
be lost. The intention Of the AbUlitionists is to
drive us from Territory and carry the next election
and get possession of the reins Of government.
This we must not submit to. If we do, Kansas
is lost to tie South fOrever--aud cur slaves in up
per Missouri will be useless to us-and our homes
must be givin up TO the Abolition enemy.
Come then, to the rescue, Up men Of Laytayene!
Meet at Lexington. on WEDNESDAY, at 10
o'clock, August Goth. BRING YOUR HORSES
WITH YOU, YOUR GUNS AND YOUR
CLOTHlNG-all ready to 90 on to Kansas. Let
every man who can possibly leave home, 60 now
to save the lives of our friends. Let those who
cannot 60, hitch up their wagons, and throw
in n few provisions, and get more as they come
along by their neighbors, and bring it Lexington
on Wednesday. Let others bring horses and
mules, and saddles and guns-all to come in on
Wednesday. We must go immediately; tn ere is
no time to spare, and no one must hold 6ack. Let
all do a little, and the job will be light. We want
two hundred to three hundred men from this coun-
ty. jackson, johnson, Platte, Clay, Ray, Saline,
Carroll and other counties are now acting in this
matter. All of them will send up a ompany of
men, and there will be a concert of action. NEW
SANTAFEE, jackson county, will he the place of
rendezvous for the whole crowd, and our motto
this time will be "no quarter" Come up, then,
on Wednesday, and let us have concert of action.
Let no one stay away we need the old men to dd-
use, the young men to execute. We confidently
look for eight hundred to a thousand citizens to be
present.
This is the decisive moment; if we fail to act
now, it will be useless to do so after the abolition
lists Nave full possession of the country. For your
own sakes-for the sake Of your lives, your chill
dren, your fresides. your homes-come up, and
let us act in this matter decidedly, and put an end
to Abolitionism in Kansas. Their motto is: No
quarter to pro'slavery men,"
Below is a specimen of the accounts of transac-
tons as we find them in the St. Louis Republican
a border Rufian Paper:
There is now no longer any doubt of a general
war, waged upon us by the abolitionists. We
must repeL hem-we must protect our men in
Kansas! Come then, ye farmers of Layfayette--
old and young-and defend your fresides, or you
will soon be driven from your homes. Como up
on Wednesday, ready to 90 on to Kansas, with
horses. tcagons, provisions and arms. Bring an
extra horse if you have them.
