BORDER TulE,Es.-A correspondent of tho st.
Louis Republican telegraphs from Lexington,
March IL.
1.-THE Arabia reached here Yesterday morning.
She had on board one hundred Sharp's rifles and
two cannon. which the citizens of Lexington took
charge OF and are keeping them, subject to the or
der OF Gov. Shannon"
What right has Gov. Shannon with the property
of other people? Or il he has any, what proba-
bhNy u tncTe tidt tuOse WHO DaNO taken what uOeS
not belong to them will hand it over to him ?
Another correspondent telegraphs from indie
pendence, under same date:
THE Lawrence people will be surprised that a
portion OF tho rifles and cannon, intended for their
use, have been intercepted on the river, and per.
haps they will not be prepared as we'll for an emer-
gency as they anticipated"
The fact brought to light by these dispatches
should be q caution to all Northern men who think
of shipping arms to Kansas by way of the Nilsson
ri river. The only safety for such shipments is
overland, through Iowa.
Report says that tho stolen arms belong 10 The
United States Government and not to the Free
State men. These fellows are rs great bui.glers
as rufians, or they would not steal the guns that
their devoted chief is sending to their allies, the
Irish soldiers at Fort Leavenworth.
ANOTHER KENTUCKY OuTRAGE.-The Border ruff
fans of Kentucky are striving to outd6 their COM
patriots in Missouri, and with very fair prospect
OF success. While the slave case was pending in
Cincinnati, two colored ~draymen of that city, went
over to CovingtOn with goods for the Covington
and Lexington Railroad. Afor having disposed
of their loads, they were quietly returning, when
they were assaulted by some official rufians and
thrust into Jail. Mr.. Williams, one of the draymen
gives an account of the affair in the Gazette.
lie says:
marshal Butts and Deputy arrested us. They
said the slaves were kept in Jail in this city, and
they intended 20 put in Jail all colored persons
going there from this side. They got upon our
drays, drove to the Jail, aud put US each in an
iron ceh, leaving our horses and drays in the street.
They searched our pockets, taking from us every.
thing we had. We were kept in Jail three or four
hours; know Lot how long they would have kept
us, had not two white gentlemen, from this city,
went over and applied to the Mayor for our re-
lease. The Mayor released us, and tod us not to
come over there again; if we did, he would put us
in Jail, and not let US out for any person. lie fined
us So for nothing, for we were by no means guilty
OF or crime.
"THE WHOLE AIN".-Francis T. Blair who
presided at the late Pittsburgh Convention, has
found it desirable to vindicase himself from the
charge of Abolitionism and Free Soilism, rs
brought against him by divers resolutions of a
Convention of the Pro.Slavery business men of
Baltimore. lie closes his letter of reply as fol-
lows
The insinuation in the resolutions, that any
thing said by ME rendered it necessary that they
should =" FiHdtcdtc their commercial and indust, idl
classes from The imputdtion IF tendencies either to
Abolition or Free-Soil," is equally unjust to me.
The whole aim of the paper laid before the Pitts
burgb Convent IN was to restore the great Com.
promise in regard to Slavery, which makes the
surest guaranty against ngitation-against aboli-
tiunism-against civil war-which the repeal has
hroached throughout the Union-the Com promise
which the most illustriOus MAINLAND one who gave
renown to MISUNDERSTANDING by his eloquence
to establish, and which he proclaimed to be nee
essary to the Union and all that it secures.
Your most obt serv't.,
L. P. BLAIR.
According to Mr.. Blair, Republicanism is the
"surest guaranty against electromagnetic abo-
clifton" Mr.. Blair seems to agree well with
Stephen S. Foster, THAT Republicanism is the
greatest hindrancc to abolitionism."
Dr.. JEwErr's SPEEcH.-Dr. M. Jewett, the Rep
resentative in the Ohio Legislature, from Summit
county, has made in that body a manly and most
thoroughly Abolition speech. 1t il refreshing Ia
read it. We have had none this winter from Co.
lumbus or Washington so uncom promising and out
spoken. DR.. Jewett scorns the sneakIng subter.
fuge of the political demagogues of all parties, who
dare not utter n word in favor of liberty without
apologising to their slaveholiing masters by dis.
claiming abolitionIsm. DR.. Jewett glories in abo.
litionism and defends it in the midss of it's foes
1t came to hand too late for publication this week.
We shall have great pleasure in laying it before
our readers in our next number.
For A LIMITED Observation-Disclosures Parker
stated in his recent lecture in New York, that one
of the members of President Pierces Cabinet had
declared that the Government of this country ought
to be a limited monarchy, The only thing wonder

favor of Emaing the monarchy. Our Democrats
have manifested a most martyr like devotion to an
~tligharcy unlimited in its despotism. Why they
would limit the power of the monarchy, docs no,
appear'to our comprehension.
