their property in the hands Of these assassns and
robbers.
From what has happened at Lesvenworth, We
may plainly see what long before now would have
happened at Lawrence Topeka, and every other
Free-State settlement in the Territory, but for
those Sharps rifles aid that military organization
for self.defense against which The Journal Of Com-
mere. in common with its friends Of the Empire
Club in New.York and the Blue Lodges in Missouri,
keeps up such q perpetual snarl, barking like
an ilbred cur at the heels both Of those
who sent the rifles to Kansas, and Of
those who use them in self-defense, and to secure
for themselves q protection against robbery and
murder. which the Observation-Disclosures refuse and
which the United States troops are not permitted to
afford.
We fear We went too far, on Saturday, in holding
out any, even the least, encouragement that the
arrival Of Geary in the Territory will bring any
relief to the FreeState men certainly it will not if
he acts at all in the spirit of the instructions which
the telegraph from Washington, on Friday night,
reported TO have been dispatched to Gov. Geary.
As these instructions are short, we here reprint
them, and call particular attention to them:
III the militia which previous orders sent by Col.
Emory made subject to the requisition of Gen. Smith,
not sufficient for the exigency, Mr. Marcy wishes
to be notified by telegraph, remarking that the nsur
rectonary invasion Of Kansas by the way OF Nebraska
and the subsequent hostile attacks on the Post-OA
al Franklin and Oh the dwellings of Col. Titus and
Mr. Clark seem to have stimulated to unlawful acts
OF the same character on the border of Missouri and
that the President expects Gov. Geary to maintain the
public peace and bring to punishment all acts of vio
ence disorder by whomsoever perpetrated. relying
his Gesry energy and discretion, and the approved
capacity, decision and GOODNESS of character Of Gen.
Smith, to prevent suppress all attempts to kindle
civil war in the Territory
In these instructions it will be seen Mr. Marcy
ndorses and repeats to Geary as his basis of action
the stale, miserable Border.Rufian calumny of an
"nyasion of Kansas by way of Nebraska, by an
army under Gen. Lane; while all the time he
knows, or ought to know, that this pretended army
of Lanes was nothing but peaceful body of actual
settlers, numbering in the whole only 324 men,
and GO women and children, near half of whom
stopped on the way, long before reaching Kansas
River, to found new settlements; and where, on
the 18th of last month, while civil war was raging
near Lawrence, they in total Inconsistencies of it,
were employed, as appears BY private letter from
one of them, Of which we lately published q part,
in "laying out a town, securing wood claims,
building houses, blowing, securing hay, digging
wells, making roads, &C." A large part of these
emigrants, by the way, consisted of persons who,
on previously attempting to enter Kansas through
Missouri, had been dsarmed, robbed of their prop.
erty and turned back-an outrage prior in date to
any of which Mr.. Marcy complains. The
alleged attack on the POst-Ofice is an.
other Border-Rufian calumny, of which Mr..
Marcy has assumed the responsibility, thus repeat
ing one of the numerous lies sent from Leavenworth
by the lying correspondent of that UNANIMOUSLY nOtori-
GUS Rufian organ, The st. LOnis Republican,
but the alsebOOd of which has since been abundant
" established. The Colonel Titus about whom
Marcy expresses such concern is an old Cuban
ilibuster turned robber and land pirate in Kansas,
and the Mr.. Clark is the Indian Agent who made
himself notorious during the first siege of Lawrence
by the cold.blooded murder of Thomas Barber,
which, so far from damaging him at Washington,
seems to have rendered him peculiar object of Mr..
Marcy's solcitude. While thus particularly speci
6iDg as acts to be punished the attacks which Titus
and Clark had drawn upon themselves by placing
themselves at the head of band of robbers and
reeboOters, it will be in what gingery and dis
ant terms diplomatic Secretary of State alludes
TO the recent burning and slaughter at Osawatta-
mic, and the murders, arson, rObberies and forced
expatriatiOns of which LeavenwOrth has been the
scene-al of which occurrences took place in sight
of the United States garrison at Leavenworth, and
probably under the very eye of General Smith him
self, without any movement on his part to prevent
them.
