WHAT SHALL BE DONE FOR KANSAS


correspondence Of The n. Y. Tribune.
ST. Louis, Monday, May 2t 1856.
Lawrence is destroyed at least great part oft, by
mob of villains led on by the minions of Slavery pro-
psgasdiss 1t is useless deceive ourselves in refer
ence TO the state OF affairs in Kansas. c)urse Of
burr ing and buchery has commenced. No Free-State
man however moderate his opinions can expect to b
protectedin Kan as while the present Chief sgsrate
and his Cabinet, domineered over and ruled by JED
Davis as is most certainly the case possess the rein
of government. The Executive must be held respon
sble for the infamous proceedings which have just
taken place, and which now in progress Notonly
have no efforts been made by the Ad min stration to
moderate the violence Of the Slavery pTGp hsts
the frontier whose past conduct has proved the exist
ence of a deep.laid sheme TO establish Slavery
Kansas by all possible mems, whether Illegal o.
grossly criminal or no.; but think il not ant. u
say that the Administration has connived at all their
illegal acts adopting for its conduct the
cureIi low partisan lies about the Emgrant AID SO.
ciety Ii remains to be seenwhat course the Admin
istration will now take. Shall have smother par.
tran special message filled with gross msrepresenta.
tion and undigried abuse of the FreeS,ste patty ID
Kal sas II 80 there can be other resort but wide
spread civil war.
Has it come TO this Are men to be shot down and
b,eher,d for DO other reason than that they ore ia
favor of making Kansas Free State |. is lsees, to
pretend that there is, or ever has been any
thought in Kansas the part Of the Slavery party,
that the late efforts in the enforcement OF the Tern
toiial laws called for justified All the TerrtorT
officers from Shannon and Lecompte down to Sheriff
Jo1es and his mLions have been engaged in graud
scheme to crush and subdue the Free State party
Judge Lecompte is not such fool to suppose that
Robinson had been guilty of any legal crime. This
charge Of treason is simply absurd. IT. however he
not criminal to be punished he was opponent
to be crushed aud no man of sense, here there or
elsewhere believe thst process has been issued
against him for any other purpose than TO crush hin
merely as a Free State man. The Reorganization OF
the FreeState party, by the removal OF it's leader
through the action of the Territorial officers, has beea
ost successful. II Robinson and some other leaders
had remained in Lawrerce ii would have been
destroyed.
And now il remains to be seen what action the peo- +
pie OF the Free States VIII take in view Of the papabe
fact that no emgraDt from q Free State can expect
any protection at the hands Of our present Dfauom
Chief Magistrate Of the Union, rather at the hands
of that arch Dsunionst, JEFF. Davis, who, in point q
fact, is the real President who bulles and domi. !,
neers over the weak, vacillating and unprncipled
Frank Pierce Thee is resource but the cold steel
ard the bullet Now s the tme il ever for the North .
to rise up ia its wrath and crsh IL well able TO
do, the fell spirit of Slavery propsgandism if
sary, by force Within two months 10 900 armed
should be encamped in Kansas Let the State \
treasures be opened and let armed bodies Of men
wend their way 10 Kansas, to protect those who can
fnd no protection in the President Of the United
States All that is wanted is the exhibition of pur
pose to see the rights of settlers from the Free States
Ireesssd Can it be that you of the North will bear
tamely al the injuries and gross insults which have
been given by men of the South who do not properly
represent 1t; vulgar ard low minded meu, whose q
hShest conception OF man is that of BULLY; yet no
doubt there aye men among who apologze FOR aud
Justify the outrages IN kansas, ard the late dsgraceful
occurrence in the Senate Chamber Of the United
States. Would to God, that these men could know
how all high minded and honorable Southerp mea
oathe and scon them.
