Latest from Kansas,

Advices from Leavenworth to
Wednesday state that the overland
Emigraht Company entered Kansas,
and probably arrived at Topeka safe
ly. The company of Missourians
which marched to intercept them had
returned without fighting. The COM
pany of dragons, headed by Judge
Lecompte, which entered Nebraska to
arrest Lane, had also returned with
out effecting their object. The rumor-
ed battle between the emigrants and
regulators near Nebraska line, is not
credited.
1t is rumored in Nebraska city, 3Oth,
that large force of Missourians and
Carolinians had invaded the Territory
and blockaded the public roads. Vol
unteers have gone forward to drive
them out. i"#a d"
A letter in the ST. Louis Republi-
can, dated Whitehead, X ansas, 4th,
inst, says the United States District
Court, Judge Lecompte presiding, be-
gan its summer term on that day. The
cases for decision were numerous,
chiefly criminal and political, and it
was reported that 500 of Lanes troops
were in readiness to rescue those con-
victed by the Court On the strength
of this rumor, Gen. Smith had sent so
dragons, under Capt. Wood, to pro-
tect the Court, and enforce it's DEGREES.
Judge Lecomptc, in his charge to
the Grand Jury, -reviewd the most
glazing offences, and suggested RENE
dies for the present and prospective
good of the country. He admonished
them +o no cool, calm, and unbiased
in their actions, and to do nothing
having the appearance of sectional or
personal inclination.
The writer says Kansas never en-
,joyed such peace as now and if let
alone by foreign agitators, there
would be universal harmony and pros
perity.

Important from Nebraska,

1t appears by the following from
the Council Bluffs Chronotype of July
3Oth, that the Border Ruffians have in
vaded Nebraska as well as Kansas,
and are likely to meet with a warm
reception:
We have startling intelligence from
Southern Nebraska The Border Ruff
fans, from Missouri, have invaded the
Territory, and, up to Sunday, had ar
rived within 20 miles of Nebraska
City. They are over 1000 strong,
are composed of Missourians, South
Carolinians and Georgians, and are
fully armed with cannon, &c, prepared
for war. Their object is to stop the
Free State settlers on their way to
Kansas, through the Territory.
The news Of this invasion reached
Nebraska city on Saturday, and caused
great excitement. About $50 men
Immediately volunteered to go to the
assistance of the Free State settlers,
and messengers were dispatched to
learn the true state of affairs. Some
80 men were also raised to go to the
aid of the Border Ruffians.
We gather the above facts from
passengers who arrived in the stage
on Sunday evening, and we presume
they are in the main correct. Persons
from Kansas, by the same arrival, al
so report most DISASTROUS state of af-
fairs in the Territory. The Pro Slave
ry party seen to be determined now
to make clean work OF it, and drive
every Northern man out of Kansas
The St. Louis Republican contains
a letter from Omaha City, which
states that large bodies of emigrants,
mostly young men, are crossing
through Iowa into Nebraska and eff
fecting settlements Hundreds had
crossed the Missouri into the Territory
within the previous two weeks. At
Florence, about six miles from Omaha
City, seven or eight hundred Mormons
were congregated, on their way to the
Salt Lake City. Many of them are
provided with no other means of con-
veyance than small hand-cart, in
which all the moyables and the young
children of the family are carried. The
writer is Uniformed that another body,

The Iowa route to Kansas is now
complete, SO far as it can be made so
with Stage coaches. From Chicago
to Iowa City there is complete rail-
way connection, and from the latter
point to Dayton, on the Missouri Riv-
er, opposite Nebraska City, new
stage route has been established. This
carries the line to the Southwestern
corner of Iowa. From Nebraska City
another line of stages is to be estab-
lished through the territories of Ne
braska and Kansas to the town of To-
peka, on the Kansas River. ~,

to the number of six hundred, all Nor
wegians, are now crossing the State
Of Iowa towards Florence.
The Nebraska City News, of July
Goth, gives an account of the arrival
of the Free State emigrants at that
place, en- route for Kansas. 1t will be
observed that its account of the char
acter and bearing of the emigrants is
quite the reverse Of that given by the
border rufian press. The News says
that about five hundred emigrants for
Kansas have been encamped in that
vicinity during the week; they are
mostly from Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio, and are principally composed of
young, active men from the country,
and during their stay with us have
conducted themselves in quiet, Or
DERBY and law-abi,ling manner, and
will be valuable acquisition to any
country that they may settle in. The
route taken by this company has been
by railroad to Iowa City, and by over
land to this place, by the way of o.
kaloosa, Charlton, Osceola, Alton,
Quincy, Frankfort and Sidney, and
thence to this place, Sidney being dis
tant from this point fourteen miles
east. They describe the route as a
good one accommodations along the
route are ample, with plenty, of grass
and water for teams distance about
three hundred miles. We learn that
thousands more are taking the Iowa
land route in preference to the Missou-
ri river by boat, and that Nebraska
city will be the crossing point. In
company with the above is a large
company of Milwaukians equipped in
the first style of emigraut art, with
large, convenient covered wagons.
They bring with them their families,
farming implements, cows, teams, &C.,
and intend settling in a community
together.

fair specimens of their speaking pow
ers-the style of each different, but
each first class speaker in the
branch of oratory to which he be-
longed They may be read with prof
it by those who would wish to form
an idea of the style and power of these
eminent orators. Manner, and all that
is comprehended under the head of de-
livery, is different attribute and
there Mr.. Clay had an advantage,
which is lost in transferring the
speech to,paper. p.A a. 1
Some of Mr.. Calhoun's Characters
tics of manner may be seen in these
speeches. He eschewed the studied
cxordium and perorations once SO
much in-vogue, and which the rhetori-
clans rules teach how to make. A
few simple words to announce the be-
ginning, and the same to show the
ending of his speech, was about all
he did in that way /; and in that depart
ure from custom he conformed to what
was becoming in business speech,
as his generally were and also tc
what was suitable to his own intellect
ual style Of speaking. He also es
chewed the trite, familiar, and unpar
liamentary mode (which of late has
got into vogue, of referring to sen.
ator as "my friend" or "the distin.
guished," or "the eloquent" or 81 the
honorable" &c. He followed the
written rule of parliamentary law,
which is also the clear rule of propri-
ETY., and referred to the member by his
sitting-place in the Senate, and the
state from which he came. Thus

farthest from me )" (which was suffi

the name (Mr. Clay) would be put in
brackets. He also addressed the body
by the simple collective phrase, "sen

fancy, but system, resulting from con
victions of propriety and he woult
allow no reporter to alter it.
Mr.. Calhoun laid great stress upo,

the vindication of his public life ant
declared, in one of his replies to Mr.
Clay, that he rested his public charac
ter upon it, and desired it to be reat
by those who would do him Justice
In justice to him, and sas being the
vindication of several measures of his
mentioned in this work, not approx
ingly, place is here given to it.
This discussion between two emf
nent men, growing out of support ant
opposition to the leading measures O
Mr.. Van Buren's administration, indis
solubly connects itself with the pas
sage Of those measures and gives
additional emphasis and distinction t
the era of the browning policy which
separated bank and state-made tn,

money-repulsed paper money from
the federal treasury-filled the treas

it as the forerunner of the great victo-
