The true Democrat., 1856-10-28

The pro-slavery party are in detached par ties. and stationed in and about the river town to protect them from Lanes atttack-Lane hay ing full control of nearly all the interior DOT tions of the territory.
 On the 3Oth of August butte was tough between company of two hundred and fit, pro-slavery men, commanded by Gen. Reid and about two hundred aboIitionists, command ed by Brown, at Ossawottomie Thirty O Browns party were killed aud several wound ed, and five of Reid's men wounded. Tn town was burned by Reid's men, after the bat tie was over. Gen. Reid tried to prevent tn burning oI the town, but some of his mel were so cxasperated he could not control them
 On the Sd of September, Lane sent two hun dred mounted men from Lawrence to the tow of Tecumseh, (the citizens of this town wer not armed or expecting an attack;) they com pletely sacked the town. They had five wa gons, which they filled from the provision anc other stores of the town of great value. Tn, stock of Mr. A. J. Vaugn, formerly of Liber ty, Missouri, amounted to about S5OOO The company returned to Lawrence with thei booty.
 On the 5th of September Lane with abou five hundred men, marched to the town of Le compton, the capital of the territory, and ir line, and planted five cannon and one mortal in ralge of the town, and then demanded the surrender of the prisoners, Robinson, Brown and others, who are under indictment for trea son; at which time company of United State, troops (then stationed at Lecompton) marched out h protection of the town, and Lanes party retreated.
 A company of about one hundred men o Lanes party marched from Lawrence to tho town of Easton, about twelve miles from For Leavenworth, on the Sth day of September (which was week ago last Tuesday, ) and rob bed the citizens of the town of all their pro perty, consisting of groceries, dry goods, cloth ing, horses, mules and every thing of valu, that was in the town, even stripped some O the inhabitants of some of the clothes the, had on and immediately returned to Law rence
 And the next night company of about if ty men from Lawrence robbed the town of Os awkee, about thirty five miles from Leaven worth in the same manner $ the town of Eas ton; and either the same company, or anothe of about the same number murdered o-sla very man in his own house, and robbed tht house, near Osawkee, the next morning. company of men were being raised at Leaven worth city to go in pursuit of these marauders but whether they have succeeded in overtakin9 them we have not learned.
 The people of Leavenworth city were throwr into state of excitement about the 3Oth O Aug st by the discovery of plan of Lane. party to murder the citizens of that town anC then sack and burn the town. This plan wa. discovered by some letters and other document. found in possession of some men from Law. renee who had come to Leavenworth in dis. guise, and wEo were immediately arrested or suspicion The plan was that on certain day a large company from Lawrence should attack the town, previous to which they would snug gle as many freesoilers as they could into the town, who were to be lodged and secreted by the frcesoil citizens of the town and fur. nished with arms, and when the assault wa. commenced by invaders, and the pro- slavery men engaged against them, these secreted free solers were to leave their hiding places in tho city and attack the pro-slavery men in the real and thus destroy them.
 When this plan was discovered, the citizens held meeting and resolved to disarm all those freesolers who had been implicated in the plan, twelve in all. Capt. Emory was appoint ed to carry out the resolution. He succeeded in disarming the first eleven without difficulty but the twelfth one man by the name of Wm Phillips was prepared for fight, and his doors bolteG, and several men in the house with him, all armed; and when Capt. Emory and his company came in front of the house, Phillips fired upon them from the window of the second floor, and killed one man; and then he, or some other man with him, fired again, wounding another man. Capt. Emory then fired on Phillips and killed him and wounded his brother. The others in the house were ta- ken prisoners and sent away without in ury.-- This Phillips was lawyer and kind of land agent. He was tarred and feathered and rode on rail about year ago for crimes imputed to him. He is generally known there to have difficulties for the New York Tribune, the Chi cago Tribune, and the Missouri Democrat. In consequence of all these outragcs, and many other enormitics of more private character or in which cases few persons were the sufferers, many worthy families have been turned out of their homes to seek shelter, food and protec- ton as best they might; and many of the cit- zens of the river towns iii Kansas have contri- buted to the full extent of their means in ren- der;ng the needed assistance to them and much more Is necessary to be done and beyond what the people of Kansas are able to do.--
 
 St. Louis to collect means and forward to Wm. H. Russell, of Leavenworth city, or to A. G. Boone, of Westport, or to such other persons as they may think proper.
 It may be said by some that a repetition of these outrages and consequent suffering pro ceeding from the same, will not again happen, as the new governor has taken measures to put an end to this kind of warfare. But We very much doubt so favorable result as we believe, from all the facts we have been able to collect, that Lane and his party came to Kansas under pay, for the double purpose of making Kansas a free State, and also to keep up the excite ment on the subject of slavery till after the preside ential election; and even if Lanes party be routed or disbandcI by the United States troops, vet they will form into companies of maraudng parties, for the purpose of harrass ing the pro slavery citizens of Kansas until their object be accomplished.
