St. Louis: and after several days detention IN
which has life was in imminent danger, succeeded
in making his escape. Capt Mitchell of Topeka,
who emigrated from Missouri two years ago, ana
who has since been an active Free-State man, had
occasion TO return on visit 10 some OF MS reIs-

sent in irons 10 Leavenworth City, where the kui-
fans will doubtless hold him til some Grand jury
has time to trump up some indictment against him.

Tense crushed out by the iron and ruthless Pro-
Slavery Administration, We have huttering hope
in the Justice of the great American hhart and the
love of Freedom which pants half desPairlns IN
this struggle. And yet it is a fearful thing when
the liberties of one portion of the people are de-
pendent on the votes Of another but i our rights
are thus blotted out in fraud and crime the hopes
of American Freedom Will perish with them.
