sons, far IL Is said that Gov. Ree1er has con-
,snted to leave. How they win get on without
him in examining the evidence for HE contested
seat do not know. II would certainly look very
hard that member Of the Commission should have
to fee from it whether the motive be personal
safety OF the public peace. 1t is certain tn, the
life Of Retder would be in danger either in Lee
compton or Leayenwortb, although believe he
would be willing to encounter tae danger if it were
merely personal matter. would not say that
either Mr.. Howard or Sherman wished Gov.
Feeder to 60. / believe they feel competent to
sustain the dignity or safety Of the Commission,
aud would at least stand the chances but they are
most anxious to prosecute the investigation fully
and PEI ceably and / am pretty sure that their
Wishee and those Of Me-. Oliver are that Reeder
should leave rather than be the cause Of disturb
ance. This |. the first time that the Commission
has met opposition and hinderance in the perform
ance Of their duty; but, mark my words, it will
not be the last. I know the Pro-Slavery men in
this Territory.
Yesterday morning Gov Robinson left this place
for the East. He has business Of considerable
moment to attend TO, and will be here before the
assemblaee Of the Legislature in July; in fact
do not expect him to be gone for any length of
time. he was very reluctant 10 90, as the dis
turbance appeared to be coming up again. can
testify 70 the sentiment, for stood beside him
when be looked toward Lawrence from the hill
where his house stands, with an expression of the
deepest anxiety and regret. L. is said that he took
portion Of the testimony that has been already
obtained in a sealed packet to Washington, but
do not vouch for this. plot is on foot among the
Border Rufisns to seize the testimony taken and
never allow it to leave the Territory.
Yesterday companies of armed men were going
up the road from Westport Mo-, to LecomptOn,
all day. A good deal of uneasnesS was felt relative
the Buford, and other Southern parties; and from
what can learn, they are being taken up to Lee
compton to be organized as militia, and take them
into the United States pay as such. They have
been lettering and camping along the Missouri
frontier, as if waiting some demand for their serv
GEE. They have been sustained mostly, if not alto
gether, by the people Of Missouri. This is rather
onerous, and Iwould not be surprised ifthe present
difficulties were got up, partly at least, to afford
some excuse for organizing militia force, and
transferring the burthen to the shoulders of Uncle
Sam. BY this means, these men, who do not seem
to be inclined to settle peaceably can be KEEP. in
readiness for the work they came to do.
Gov. Shannon, as predicted las. Fall, has given
all the United States sent out for the use of
the Territory to the Pro-Slavery men. They are
ostebsibly given to the militia of Kansas, of which
the Kckapoo Rangers form the chief part, but this
is mere dodge to supply the Border Ruffians with
arms against the people Of the Territory.
Lawrence has suffered very much from the war,
and has been so impoverished by II and its conse-
quences, that improvements are not pushed go
rapidly as would like to see. However, good
many buildings are going up.
