KEoKuK ApRoAn.--Our city is attracting
greater attention and eHcting more favorable
notices abroad during the present Spring
shan ever before. We have been highly graf
fled at witnessing this growing appreciation,
and we have been more especially pleased
when we found such notices in connection
with catering commentator Of some Of our
worthy fellow citizens, such rs this from the
Ohio State journal for instance:
our old friend, Col. 5. r. CgRTls has been
nominated az candidate for Mayor Of kco-
kuk, by large meeting Of the people Of that
lourishing city, without regard 70 party. lie
will probably be elected. We don't believe
the people of that place can do better act
for themselves. The Col. has ability, great
experience, and an ardent desire to secure
the interests and build mp the reputation Of
the fayorite city Of his residence.

armed soldiery in Lawrence when these charges
were made; there were armed men there, but
they were not embodied. Of the men who aided
in the rescue of Branson-an act which might
take place in any State, at any time, without any
Governor thinking of calling out the armed mill
tia, much less the forces of the United States
only two ever lived in Lawrence, and they were
not in Lawrence at that time. The reports mem
toned in these dispatches, about burning build
ings, have turned out to be exaggerated and mis-
represented. e
On the strength of these reports, however
Governor Shannon sent his letter of the 2Sth Of
November to the President, and on the next day
he issued that fatal proclamation which fomented,
at the time, the invasion from Missouri and this
was followed by his Geographic dispatch of the
LIST of December. Here let me say, that in this
letter, proclamation, and dispatch, Governor
Shannon shows that he is not man who com
prehends his position or his duties. He was ex-
cited and frightened by the reports and runors
he relied upon. During this period, when he
ordered out the militia and telegraphed the Presi
dent dispatches, founded on rumors, were sent
into Missouri; and the result was, that from one
thousand to two thousand armed men came from
Missouri into Kansas and they were incorpera-
ted into that little force of less than four hun
bred men," spoken of in these dispatches from
Kansas, which rallied to the call of the officers
of the militia Sir, if the people of Kansas had
been with the Governor-if they had sympathized
with him in his ill-starred movements f they had
believed that law and order were in danger-weuld
they not have rallied to his support? On that
occasion, the arsenal of the United States in
Western Missouri was broken open arms were
stolen and carried into Kansas. Nothing is bald
about this robbery in these reports. Mfsourians
broke open this arsenal, and stole cannoI., ammu-
milton, and muskets, for the purpose of going on
q marauding invasion and the late President of
the Senate was compelled-so great was. the
danger-to hasten after them, to keep them from
hurting somebody Yet, not word Is said about
it in these dispatches Sir, if the freemen of
Kansas had broken open that arsenal and had
stolen even gun-fiint, you would have had a
proclamation from your Governor and your Pres
ident, and the army of the United STATES would
have been called out to put them down. But il

Mr.. WILSON. quote from speech made by
General Stringfellow, published in Western

fellow has since said, in letter to the people Of

Kansas and ruled it once, they could do it again
| The men in Western Missouri who were the first
TO accept the advice of their leader, do not deny
these things. They openly proclaim their inten.

Sir, see that in the South there are move
ments from all quarters to get up Emigrant Aid
societies. The Senator from Mississippi, Mr..
BROWN, always frank and manly on these ques-
lions, proposes that Mississippi shall send three
hundred of her young men and three hundred of
her bondmen into that Territory, to plan and
shape its future say to the honorable Senator
from Mississippi, send your Mississippi young
men and your Mississippi bondmen; you will
never find on the part of the men who went there
from the North, under the auspices of Emigrant
Aid Societies, one single unlawful act to keep
you out or rob you of one of your lawful rights.
The men who charge the emigrants from the
North with aggressions upon the men of other
sections of the country, utter that which has NOT
the shadow of an element of truth In it, and they
know it, or they are grossly ignorant of Kansas
affairs. This proposition of the Senator from Mis-
