To tie Editor Of the Marshall County
De"aocrot:-SIR:-In your issue of July
third | find the above editorial, to which is
appended my letter of June first. written
just previous to my leaving X. T.
The circumstances under which my let
ter was published are such that am emit
tied to an explanation. The entire tone of
ments, and so contradictory to truth, that
a statement or two is no more than Justice
to myself and friends.
The first part of tie letter was written
with the expectation of sending it by mail,
and such was the state of affairs at the
time, that no communication could find its
way out of the Territory which did not give
a perrenedand pro- slarery statement; there
fore | was forced to write as | did,
Directly after writing left the Territory
and carried my letter with me. making ad-
ditions to it from time to time, hoping that
1t might serve me as a pass, because of
its tone) should fail into the hands of the
armed Missourians who were then camped
along the highways, guarding the Terrific
ry against lnSresS ana eSfesS, no one oil
free State procliviiies being allowed to leave
with valuabes of any kind. Such were the
circumstances under which | wrote; and in
no other way could have given the de-
sired word of warning to my son-in law
Mr. BRowNLEE. To have given him a plain
statement of the difficulties" would have
been to ensure the destruction of my letter
before it was fairly started upon mission,
and to hazard the safety Of my family.
Yours. dc.

tons, say that, judging from interior news

1t is surprising how much the public

devoted itself to n national exposition of
our American difficulties. The country
also appeared pleased with the domination
of Buchanan. Our Liverpool correspond

can affairs has now subsidized 50 much as to
have no longer any unsetlling effect on the

in looking over the different factions that
were congregated together. not for the pur-
pose Of furthering the cause of freedom,
but for the purpose Of crushing the Democ-

THAT KANSAS LETTER.

Our readers will recolect that we pub
lshed letter, written by Mr.. JONES, on
Kansas affairs, not long since, to his SON.
in law-Mr BRowNLEE The letter caused
quite an excitement in the abolition ranks;
some pronounced it a forgery, others that
we had garbled the letter, and lastly that
he had probably joined the Democratic
party; about two weeks since he returned
with his family to this county.
On last Saturday he attended the fusion
convention at this place; several Of the alb
olitionlsts were busily engaged talking with
him every opportunity through the day; in
the evening he called at our Office and re
qucsted us to publish an explanation of his
letter, which will be found below.
We have no disposition to do Mr.. JONES
injustice, and willingly give him the bcne-
fit of any explanations that he sees proper
to make.
1t has occurred to us that it would prob
ably be more satisfactory to all parties con
nected with this unfortunate affair to re-
publish the letter so that the explanation
can be duly appreciated. We would re-
mark, in reference to the editorial that ac-
companied the publication of the letter,
that the character Mr. JONES sustained in
this community, prior to his leaving for
Kansas, warranted us in making the re-
marks we did. To our fusion friends we
would say that they are entirely welcome
to all the political capital that they can
make out of this affair.

OsAwAToMIE, K T., June I, 1856.
We are all well at this
time as far rs health is concerned, but a
great deal troubled in mind. The state Of
affairs in this Territory are in dreadful
situation. We are here in the midst of
murderers and plunderers. But Il short
time ago the pro-slavery party destroyed
two printing presses in Lawrence, and the
free State hotel and some other buildings.
Since that, the abolitionsts about ten miles
from them, stole their horses and rode
them off, and l heard to-day, that there
was four more men killed night before last,
not far from Lawrence; they have got six
or seven Of the men that is supposed had
hand in the first murder, but | fear they will

not get the principle ones soon. There is
the greatest excitement among the people
here, at this time, that l ever saw any place,
and the abolltionists do more mischief, and
make more trouble than any other party in
the Territory, and believe if we had none
of them here we could get along very well.
Now would give anything if we could
have peace in this country. would rath-
er live here than in any country ever lived
in before, if we could have peace; but as
things are now If | could sell my claim |
would leave right away.
Il | was in hopes that we
could live here in peace, and that YOU
would come in the fall, and we would get
to see you all, and live close together once
more, but don t believe there will be any
peace here as long as there is any abolition
lists in this country, for they seem deter
mined to keep up fuss. | would advise
you at this time to hold on and make no
further preparations to come to this coun-
try until times get more peaceable. 1t Is a
fine pleasant country to live in, and | would
like to live here If could live in peace; but
who wants to liue in country where, when
they lay down at night they don't know
but they will be murdered before morning?
| will write to you again, soon, and let you
know how things are going on here, SO
goodbye, until you hear from me again.
