All the leading men in Kansas have either
beeu arrested for treason or forced to fee the
territory Writs have issued from United
States Court by Judge who holds his office by
virtue of appointment by the President. What
htreason as defined by the Constitution That
instrument defines it as the actual levying OF war
against the United States, or adhering to their
enemies and giving them aid and comfort. Is the
adoption OF Constitution and the election of a
legislature and State officers, who only propose
to act 10 that capacity and !egislatc AFTER they
shall have been recognized and admitted into the
Union as State, levying "wAR" upon the United
s,atcss Is it giving said and comfort" to the
enemies ofihc country They have simply cleo
ted legislature, Governor &C., and now ask to
be admitted into the Union. in order that they
may legally protect their persons and property
and enact wholesome laws for their own Govern
mcnt And yet they are hunted like wild beasts,
while their conquerors, men who have murdered,
plhged aud devastated the territory, living as
they did, in Missouri, have not only been encour-
aged and applauded, but aided in their work by
United States troops. Ia the spirit Of Bunker
Hill and Lexington deads Has it been crushed
out aud subdueds 1t is time that men who are
attached to this Union, and who know that it
rests for its pcrnetuity upon the recognition and
protection Of human rights as guaranteed by our
Constitution, were bursting all ties Of party,
and breaking through all minor considerations Of
interest, 1t is time, and high time that they
place themselves right before the country and
upon the record. It matters not whether they
live in South Carolina or Massachusetts,, are
Wing, Republican or Democrat, all good citizens
have direct and personal interest in preserving
aud maintaining law and defending human rights.
Border Rufiianism in Kansas and treason in the
White House are doing more to sap the foun-
dations of our Government than could all the
armies OF Europc combined against us.

ENcoUNTER BETWEEN AN EDITOR AND SENA-
roR-Violence seems to be the order Of the day
everywhere-in Congress and out of it. The
ST. Louis Democrat Of Wednesday states that
on Tuesday last, A. S. Mitchell, editor Of the In
tellgencer, was violently assaulted on the ladies'
passenger car of the o'clock train on the Pa
cific Railroad, by Charles S Rannels, State Sena-
tor from that county
The Democrat supposes that the following pa
renthetical remarks in Tuesdays Intelligencer
was the cause of the collision
"Thanks to the swindle of the Hackney Bill.
whereby Charles 5. Rannels and Aaron 6. Hack
ney sold out the American Party
Both gentlemen had taken the train for their
country seats, when Mr.. Rannels made the as
sault in the ladies car. A scene Of great confu-
sion is said to have ensued, and when the cars
came to a halt the ladies began to rush out in
the highest state of alarm.
Several gentlemen who interfcred received di-
vers wounds. Mr. Mitchell had one Of his eyes
blackened, aud his face otherwise bruised. We
| did not learn the extent of the damage to Mr..
Rannels. Nj. Mitchell is reported to have adj
vised Mr.. Rannels to be on his guard at then
next meeting.

A TOUCHING INc1DENr.-The saddest story
that We ever read was that of a little child in
Switzerland, a pet boy, just as yours is, reader,
whom its mother, one bright morning, rugged
out in beautiful jacket all shining with silk
and buttons, and gay as a mothers love could
make it, and then permitted him to go out to
play. He had scarcely stepped from the door
of the "Swiss Cottage" when an enormous
eagle scooped him from the earth, and bore him
to his nest, high up among the mountains, and
yet within sight OF the house of which he had
been the joy. There he was killed and devour-
ed, the eyrie being at point utterly inaccessi-
BILE to man, so that no relief could be afforded.
In tearing the child to pieces, the eagle SO placed
the jacket in the nest that it became fixture
there, and whenever the wind blew it would
futter, and the sun would shine upon its lovely
trimmings and ornament. For years it was Wis
ible from the lowlands, long after the eagles had
abandoned the nest. What sight it must have
been to the parents of the victim.
