Affairs IN Kansas.

! The Kansas Herald PRO Slavery Of the 18th
inst. has the proceedings ofaPubIo meeting Mt
Delav are City, on the ID. TO take into conside-
ration the condition of Kansas affairs generally.
II wa. largely attended. Resolutions were pas
sed thanking President Pierce. affirming the
perfect legality Of the Shawnee tPro'Saveryl
Legislature commencing the course Of Mr..
whitfield, the delegate to Congress. rendering
especial thanks to the patriotic and chvalrous'
citizens of Missouri, and other Southern States,
for their generous MD co operation and sympa-
thy.
From tho Correspondence of the st. Louis Demo
orat, we glenn an item or two Of interest from To-
peka, March lOth.)
The two Houses Of the Legislature were TO
meet in the House of Representatives on the lth.
in joint convention, for the purpose Of electing
three Commissioners to codify the practice, and
simplify the pleadings. A joint resolution was
adopted, that when tho Geneval Assembly ad-
iourn, il will meet again on the 4th Of of July
next.
The House had adopted series of resolutions,
stigmatizng as a cold blooded murder. on the
part Of the BORDER Rflans," the killing Of D. =.
Brown. Esq, a member Of the House, on the 18th
Of last January. The resolutions conclude as
follows -
Resolved That while we condole with his wife
IN her Affections, we feel that Providence will
override for good. Mr.. Brown has joined the host
OF martyrs, whose blood has watered the tree of
liberty; his name with Dow and Barber will sur
vve and adorn the bright pages in the future his
tory of Kansas while those who were the insfru-
ments of this outrage. like the perpetrators of
other base crimes will be remembered only US
monsters in the dark catalogue of human deprav-
ity.
Resolved, That we recommend to the lovers of
freedom aud j1stce, 10 erect monument to the
memory Of the deceased with suitable inscriptions,
and that the State make liberal contributions in
aid OF this enterprise.
The st. Louis Republican, of 2ls', notices, s.
as if TO contradict,--a statement which appeared
in the Independent Dispatch of the 18th, stating
that tho troops had marched from Fort Leaven-
worth, by the order of Gov. Shannon, to Topeka
and dispersed the Free State" Legislature in
session there. The Republican says
I'VE have information from Kansas Of quite IS
late n date aud are satisfied that the runor is
without foundation. That warrants shall DO is.
sued against the mock Legislature. and that they
will be arrested, is very probable, but the occa-
sion Is not likely Ia nrise when troops will be ne
cessory to check thu oneraton of the pretend
ers."
