IL "no peace" in point Of fact and thai the

temporirng expedent to conceal and smother up

Are required 10 submit 10 an the pIetcbef usurpa-
tons OF Missouri, which have reduced them %

and duration az i is degrading and dangerous to
tleir civil rights And set scarcely see any o'ner
alternative. Surrounded by hOrdes OF numbering
N;ssourians who thirst for their blood and desire
IN drive them from the Territory, their only hope
of receiving help from the arm of the military force
lee in this prostration OF all that Americans hold
dear The attempt TO vindlcate their rights, or
escape from thralom so degrading and dangerous,
would only unite the United Sta.cs army with their
enemies. This inauguration of proposed peace is
Uniy another step IN the subjugation of Free Kan
sas; more subtle and crafty, specious ID lis prom
pet, with which its acts are in bad keeping, and
far more subtle in the means by which it contem-
plates the desired result bu. not less dangerous to
the cause of Justice and humanity, aud cannot see
that il gives any sufficient guaranty for even the
per sonal security 40 degradingy purchased.
do not wish to pre-, judge Gov. GeaTys position
or conduct. He entered his career under CIR
eumstaDces far too embarrassing to offer han ialr
cha0ce TO act honorable man would wish TO
act Appointed by an Administration under whose
auspices was consuUmated the villany NJ was sent
with The pretense of curing, his post on is most
critical for any with the slightest sense of JUS
tice n order TO avoid any appearance Of parti-
sansbip be has resorted to temporizDg policy, aud
in this the Slavery Extension power haze unbapply
everything on their side. If he attempts to at as
Justice dictates in any degree to affect the interests
Of Ohgarchy seriously, he viii encounter all the
venom of their hostility, and become political
martyr of The Reeder kind He has made requ-
siton on he Governor of Missouri for the leaders
q the last invasion, the Strngfellows, Reid, and
others but this suspect, will prove mere farce.
Meanwhile Me most unhappy condition of affairs
exists here. The widest OF the Pr,-S!avory men
are going about the country in small parties, robbng
and numbering. Only two days ago, two men,
named HAT and Morris, were taken from the Law
renee and Kansas stage near Wesport, aud are sup
posed to have been murdered as they have not since
been seen or heard Of In this city there is no Sc
eurity for Free-Slate men. have been recognized
by some of the Border -ltufan leaders, and have
had TO avoid them by taking shelter with the dra
goons company Of dragons, Company b, First
Cavalry Captain Sacket commanding, has been
granted to guard alarge number of wagons, going
over TO Leavenworth TO buy -four, as the people in
the Valley of the Kaw have been nearly ianlshed.
To the safeguard Of this military escOr, l have re-
tr, aied, and under such circumstance have much
reason TO thank the hospitality and ccnSiderate
watch Of Captain Sacket, who is high minded Off
Ger and gentleman. Every assistance he could
render to the teams be has rendered even to getting
his dragons to assist the teams that stuck IN bad
parts of the road And yet the necessity OF all this
10 striking commentary on the state of the times.

ing with it.
In the streets of Leayenworth saw Capt. En-
sry and others, who so recently murdered my
pamesake Philips and others, beside Plundenng
and burning but there appeared 20 be no effort, as
there is no disposition the part Of any the suthor-
ties TO arrest them. The notorious Col. Payne,
who is a member of the Bogus Council, and subse-
qsently County Judge, Colonel of militia" &C.,
ceoy shot Free-State man few days ago.
Yesterday be was taken before the authorities and
held to bail for some $4,000 AS be is hard
WORKER among the Border Rufhans, l have no
doubt but there will be only a straw-bili found
against him. At the same time young Free-State
man named Wright who had been captured and
charged with aiding in the stealing OF horse
during the difficulties held to bail IN the SUN
Of $500 which it will be impossible for him to
give; thus violating the Constitution which says
that Excessive bail shall not be required
But few OF the business men driven IRON Leaven-
worth have dared 10 return. nor would be safe for
Mem TO do so. No redress has ye. been afforded
them. From what learn of the murder of VIM.
Philips, il was most strocious and Deliberate. A
