OOtUUeI
Having been informed, since my return home, that
during my absences report has been circulated to the
effect that had determined to support the Demo-

approaching election / take this method to contra
diet such report, and place myself in my proper po-
siton before my friends who may feel any interest as
to the position now occupy in the present political
contest. My feelings are for the success Of the Fill
more and Doneson ticket, and my convictions are
from close observation during my tour the present
summer that the ticket will certainly sncceed

The FatA of Lawrence.

Notwithstanding tie threats of the trait
ors of this ill-fated town, that they would
"resist unto death" the enforcement of
the laws of the Territory in Douglas coun-
~, and shoot down every one who might
assist the Sheriff IN enforcing them, the
town sras taken and their forts destroyed
and that too without the first symptom OF
resistance. As soon as Sheriff Jones'
posse arrived in sight of the town oil
Lawrence. the courage of its inhabitants
vanished into thin air. and like whip
ped dogs they humbiy crouched at the
feet of the officers Of the law. Lest some
designing men should malieiously assert
that the property there destroyed belonged
to unofending persons. We publish below
an article from the Kansas Herald of Free
dom, of the 10Th of. April showing Cor what
the Fort was built, TO whom it belonged,
and the purposes for which il was to be
used. Further comment we deem un-
necessary:

BRAyEaY OF THE YANKEEs.-When
the Sheriff. posse entered the city Of Law
renee to enforce the laws, the town seemed
10 be deserted by the brare warriors who
have been defending that place. They
left between two days, leaving their wives
and children to the tender mercies of the
:. heartless herder rufIisns." II they are
honest in the belief that the law and order
citizens Of the Territory are rufiians,'
does it not show cowdrdice in them to run
off and leave their families entirely un.
protected when a few hundred resolu.e
men, with the Notifications Of Lawrence
could have kept at bay an army of thous-
ands. After all the boasting of Reeder
Robinson, Brown and others, less than five
hundred men took possession Of the city
without firing gun. We have often de.
nounced the paupers sent out from the
brothels of the east as towards, and the
events of the past week go to show tha
we were right in our conjecture.

The Courier and Enquirer's Washing

ther correspondence here with Mr.. Cramp-
ton on the Earl of Clarendon's dispatch ol
May Sd. 1t will be friendly and apollo
getic in tone, and an amicable arrange
ment is certain.
The correspondence between Mr.. Clay

consideration OF prospect Of any.
The Herald's correspondent says the
Cabinet were in session this morning, but
nothing definite was done in Crampton's
case. The administration find it difficult
since the receipt of Lord Clarendon's s re-

to take decided action. He does not re-
fuse, as has been stated, to recall Mr..

OuR FLAG WAS THERE.-Before the
city Of Lawrence was fairly subjugated,
the flag of the Atehison company was
planted upon the rife pit OF the enemy. 1t
was then carried by its brave bearer and
stationed upon the Herald of Freedom
printing office, and from thence TO the
large hotel and fortress of the Yankees.
where it proudly waved until the artillery
commenced baterng down the building.
Our company was composed mostly of
South Carolinians, under command Of Cap.
tain Robert De Treyill, late of Charleston.
S. c., and we venture the prediction that
Drawer set Of men than are found in its
ranks never bore arms. They were frs,
and foremost in the expected fight, and on
ly needed the opportunity to have distin-
guished themselves. Sonth Carolina has
jus, cause to be proud of her sons in Kan
sas. Their bravery and patriotism is alike
creditable to themselves, and the noble
State that gave them birth.

Livingston & Kinkead. the largest traders

Atchison, per Polar Star, about one hun
dred and twenty tons freight, which they
are now loading for Salt Lake city. We
notice that the teams and wagons for their

~ thing is so arranged as to insure safe
and speedy trip to the valley. They fitted
out several large trains from this place las,
season, and having given the route a fair
trial, have wisely concluded that Atehison
is the best starting point on the Missouri
river for trains going to California or Utah
Territory. If other shippers to the above

by starting from points below this.
