ConesyonSepee Of The N Y. Tribune.

ST. LOUIS, Saturday, May "a, 1856.
President Pierce is the most Infamous character in
history. While possessing the power to curb the Wild
and excited passions or the Pro Slavery mob in Kan
sas he has permitted them to destroy the town Of
LawIence-st least the Telegraph informs Us to day
News Of this event has been monentarIy expected
here for some time. IL has been well known here that
it was the intent Of the ProSavey propagandsts of
the tier to bring about this result Tbs particular
manner of bringing il about has been matter Of discus
sion. 1t has been deep laid scheme, Of which the
whole country has been well informed-always ex'
c. ptiDg those who were unwilling to learn. The cti
zen. of Lawrence have always been willing to obey
the process of the Courts provided il enforced by
the United States troops. An officer, with twenty
soldiers, might have enforced any process 10 Law
renee; but no-rather employ undsciplined mob Of
violent, madIy excited men, Of the worst character
ard passions The people Of Lawrence have begged
that United States troops might be used protesting
their willingness to sub nit to them. But instead Of
tbis mob, org anzed by such infamous Sound els
Atchison ard SriDgfellow. These the fruits and
the appropriate fruits Of the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise. As a Southern man, loyal to the STATE
live in, would say that that Northern man must be
base ard destitute of all honorable feeling who believes
in acqUiescing in such q measure Loud and deep
have been the curses that have weled forth this day
In this cityaDd that too from men identned WIN th'
Institution of Pierce ard his Cabinet,
and the whole herd Of low minded men Of the North
who think rather who pretend TO think, tina. true
policy and the constitutional rights of the Suth de-
srdtd of them repeal Of the Missouri Compromise.
Ever since that repeal he's taken place, all the meas
of the Government have been 80 taken a TO dis
eliminate against and discourage, and, If possible,
cIush the Free-Stste party. There never was an
Intent on the part Of the President in bringing about
the repeal of that Compromise TO carry out fairly the
prof pin cpes Of the Kansas and Sebraeka act.
The grand bold facts Of the case are confessed by all
men Of sense and principle. All here, Pro-Slavery
opsea niiss and ALL acknowledge the truth OF those
cha ges which vi. be made manifest by the report of
the Cong ressiondl Commission. Yet, notwithstanding
the noImiy of the outrsges committed upon the Ter
rtory, how delcatey our fair minded and charitable
President has dealt with The guilty parties, and how
!, were upon those who have given them such cause
for anger AID resentment, and the exhibition Of the
