The Bosom Daily AdocriSer-the leading organ
of New England Conservatism-hss the following
cheering demonstration with regard to the impend-
ing catastrophe in Kansas. We commend it to
thouekful and conscientious conservatives every
where:
ain the midst Of conflicting statements, we have
obtained authentic and certain intelligence that the
Congressional Commissioners, Mesrs. Howard and
Sherman state in conversation that they are astound
ed at the evidence brought before them proving the
wrongs of the true people Of Kansas and they express
their wonder at their admirable sefcontro. There is
evidence to indicate that Mr. Olver hiulse the thTd
member Of the Commission, Member of Congress
from the State Of Missouri and of course professed
inhabitant Of that State, nevertheless joined the Mis-
sourisns in their foray into Kansas and encouraged
them TO vote there Whitfield is obviously discouraged
The United States dragons evidently understand the
true merits of the case is abundantly evinced by
the aacrity ~ with which they have conducted the
pursuit after certain Free State men against whom
warrants had been issued. The shooting Of Sheriff
Jones is a mystery. 1t was an act Of which the Free
State Government certainly and all s friends, 80 far
az can be ascertaned, entirely ignorant, and
which is deeply regretted. II is nevertheless believed
that Jones is not badly injured as has been pre-
tended.
ave regret TO say that it is the best opinion in
Kansas that an armed collision between the MssOu-
rians and the Free-State people must shortly take
place. II is believed TO be inevitable. Even the Con-
ereesional Commission will be insulted. The Mis-.
souians will not respect the Representatives Of the
National Legislature and will not brook the cautious
and proper movements of the United States troops
The people of Kansas will not rebel against the Uniled
States auhority-there will be no collision between
them and the United States Government. This the
Missourans very well understands aud il believed
that they will very soon undertake cruel warfare on
their account.
" In such warfare, we pray Heaven defend the
right. The people Of Kansas are a aw-abiding peo
pie They are now asserting the dearest right Of
American citizens-the right to govern themselves
They submit to the authority ofthe United States but
they will not submit TO an invasion from Missouri.
" Shall they have only sympathy-perhaps not
even that-in this crisis The 18th, Saturday last,
had been agreed upon for ncursion into the Terri.
tory. Perhaps even now the strife has begun.
1--WE add in conclusion that the facts we have stated
above have been derived from private source of un-
improbable veracty and undoubted authenticity"
