LETTER FROM KANSAS.
BRowN's STATION, Kansas Ter,
Dec. D. 1855.

Dec. %, 1855.
Before this letter reaches you, you will
no doubt, have got some report of the re-
cent invasion of this Territory by an
armed force, chiefly fom the State of
Missouri.
This affair, like most other questions,
has two sides, and the story will be told
in different way by both pro-slavery
and anti-slavery partisans. The same
facts, 1t is well known, appears different
ly when viewed from different stand
points; bearing this in mind, shall en-
deavor, though standing on the anti-slave-
ry side, to give you, not my opinion nor
my inferences, but the principal facts
connected with this matter. Having N.Y.
self been on the ground as volunteer in
defense of Lawrence, and being eye and
ear witness of the greater portion of the
events connected with the siege, | shall
confine my narrative chiefly to the things
| know the remainder | shall state only
upon well authenticated evidence.
Beginning with those events immedi-
ately connected with the recent out
break, it appears that Slave State man,
by the name of Coleman, and a Free
State man, named Dow, had some
high words about matter of difference
concerning their land claims, which end.
ed in Coleman shooting Dow, and killing
him, though the latter was unarmed.-
The only witness of this murder, as am
told, was man named Branscom. Cole
man, it appears, soon after gave himself
up 10 Gov. Shannon, for trial. On COM
plant, warrant was issued, (by JUS
lice or judge, holding Office by lhe author
ity of the repudiated Legislature of Kan
sas, TO Sheriff, by the same authority,
named Jones, who resides in Missouri J
for the arrest of the witness, Branscom.
The ground of complaint against him
was, anticipated violence on his part, to
the lives and property of complainants.
Jones and his posse, numbering fifteen
armed men, arrested Branscom in the
night, and started with him for Lecomp.
ton, by way OF Lawrence. Ga their way,
about three miles from Lawrence, they
were met by party of eight men, armed
with Sharp's rifles, and were ordered TO

The documents signed by Gov. Shan
non, Gen. Robinson and Col. Lane, binding
them only, if binding at all, are such, that,
ifof any force or virtue, no positions of
the FreeState party are in Iheleast chang
ed or compromised; on the contrary those
positions have been strengthened to de-
gree which places them, trust, beyond
the power of desPOts TO overthrow.
| need not mention in this narrative,
the hospitali'ies bestowed upon the Gov
ernor while in Lawrence-how highly
they were appreciated by him, or how hap,
Py they caused him to feel. Suffice it ic
say, Governor Shannon and the people o.
Kansas Territory understand each other
better than before this acquaintance.
Very truly yours,
JOHN BRowN, Jr.
