From the ST. Louis News.

There is lull in the Kansas war, which is
probably the forerunner of peace. The ar my
Of Missourians recently rendezvoused near
Westport, for the invasion Of the Territory, is
disbanded. Much the larger portion of the
men composing it have returned home, leaving
a small force of two or three hundred men, I'M
der General Reid, to protect the Territory.
The cause of the breakup was this: After the
affair at Ossawattomie, the men under Reid
called out to be led against Lawrence right
off, that they might terminate the war by the
capture of that place. The leaders, conscious
of the impossibility of succeeding in such a
hazardous enterprise with such an undisciplined
force, refused to march On Lawrence, and fell
back on their base of operations on the Mis-
souri, border. The men became disheartened,
and refused to submit to the severe drilling
system which was instituted in the camp, and
which experience has demonstrated to be abso-
lutely essential to enable the Pro-Slavery army
to make Roadway against the thoroughlyor
ganized and disciplined forces under Lane.
They therefore packed up, and returned home.

Private advices from Kansas city state that

Chicago, Sept. l3.-The st. Louis Democrat
of yesterday announces that General Richard
son was taken prisoner by the Free State men,
north of Lawrence, and was carried before
General Lane, who restored his arms, and sent
him back under an escort. Great CONSERVATION
was exhibited at Leavenworth, in consequence
of the rumors of an attack by Lane. General
Smith had sent out companies to protect the
town. Lane, meanwhile, was still at Lawrence,
with no intention of leaving his position.

PR0-SLAVERY OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE
BATTLE OF 0SSAWATOMIE.

From the Glasgow Times, September 4.
Messrs. Rice, Patterson, and s. Q. Cary,
reached this place last night, direct from the
seat of war, and brought US the following high
ly important news, which we stop the press to
lay before our readers:
CAMP, BULL CREEK, Sept. /, 1856.
FRIEND GREEN: We write to inform our
friends that we have had an engagement with
the enemy, in which we were completely victo.
rious.
Evening before last, august 3O,) $50 men
were despatched to Ossawstomie about 30
miles from this place, the headquarters of the
notorious Capt Brown. We made a forced
march, travelling all night, and reached the
place about an hour after sunrise. We had one
six-pounder. The enemy commenced firing on
US at half mile, which is point blank range
for Sharp's rifles. They had taken cover under
a thick growth of underwood, and numbered
about $50. We charged upon them, having
to march 800 yards across an open prairie,
against an unseen foe, through hail storm of
rifle bullets. This was done with GOODNESS
and ability unsurpassed, until we got within
so yards Of them, when we commenced gall
ing fire, which, together with some telling
rounds of grape from our cannon, soon drove
them from their hiding-place, with loss of
some 20 or 30 men killed.
we lOSJ not SlpSle lnaI auu 0aU only uVo
or six wounded. / had with me fifty of our
men, all of whom were in the hottest of the en-
gagement, and distinguished themselves, they
being about one-third of all who were in the
fight, so that we routed them from their covert,
man to man. We had three men wounded
one badly, and two slightly. We burned their
town, and returned to camp last night about 10
O'Clock
Notwithstanding this brilliant success, we
found it impossible to march upon Lawrence,
for want Of men and munitions of war, and have
fallen back upon Cedar Greek, to wait for rein
forcements. Will Missouri forever slumber +?
If this expedition fails, we have nothing to hope
for Is it possible we are to endure hardships
| and fatigues for nothing. and our friends not
make a common cause with us? We ought to
have 5000 men, to drive these cut-throats from
this Territory. Already we have slumbered
until the last Pro-Slavery man who came here
with the promise of protection has been MUIR
| dered or driven away, his house burned, and
even his children stripped of their clothing.
Every section presents awful pictures of murder
and ruined settlements. Those who have done all
this are now at Lawrence, about l SEQ strong,
and, should we leave here, this country is turned
over irretrievably to gang of murderers, whose
thirst for blood and plumber will soon carry
| them to our own homes.
Let our friends come by boat to Kansas city
aud from thence to Lawrence is only about
forty five miles, which can be travelled on foot
in two days. We want foot soldiers we have
already too many horses. Send on men imme
diQtely, OR NEVER. Ship cannon with them.

tlOn," and 1t might be more dlthcqlt than In the
case of enslaving Americans Thy bills of attain
der, &c. to show that the power of Gaming Sem
ators was prohibited by the Constitution to
to the States"
And this brings me to the main scope of
your argument, which goes back of the written
Constitution entirely, and plants itself upon
the very nature of things-the nature of civil
government, and the necessary securities of
Freedom. Hitherto, for the most part, the ar
gument against Radical Abolitionists has turn
ed upon the question of facts. What does the
Constitution say? What does it n,eanS What
provisions for the security of personal liberty
does it contain What powers for the admin
istration of those provisions does it confer
upon the Government for which it provides?
But the controversy, it seems, is beginning
to run back of the question of facts. The
opponents of radical views seem not satisfied
with their successes upon that field. They are
appealing to first principles. In order to for
tify their argument as to what the Constitution
actually is, they are beginning to tell what it
| ought to be, and What the exigenoies of Free.
dom require. Most heartily do 1 welcome
them upon that ground.

| jections against the national power of securing
personal liberty. You, 'sir, in your National
Era of 2lst of August, are among the first to
state publicly and distinctly, and to spread out
fully, this new ground of argument-new, at
least, among the opponents of the slave system.
In this article you oppose, upon principle,
the suppression of American Slavery by the
American Government security Of nation
al Freedom by the national po,oer-the protec-
ton from chattelhood of the American citizen
by the Constitution of his country, which is the
"the supreme law of the land" The alleged

fatal to Freedom This distinction between
State powers and National powers-of Govern
ment arises, suppose, from the notion that
the State Governments are the original, indie
pendent sovereign Governments, and that the
National Government, not being derived from
ed in the Constitution, is derived only from the
States and is a subordinate Government, in the
hands of the kind of State sovereignty and in
dependence which embraces the power of en-.
Shaving human beings, Just as IS now witnessed!
Gather up, now, into one view, the sum total
of this hypothesis of the State and National
Governments, and what have we? 1t amounts,
in one word, to Just this: (l.) The State Gov
ernments, in virtue of their original, underived
independence" and sovereignty" have full
and plenary "powern to enslave every man,
woman, and child, of us-that is, if we remain
in the States. THE Republican party is labor
ing to establish the principle, that in the Terri
tories, where there is, as yet, no Estate indie
pendence and sovereignty" the case may be
different (2.) The National Government, be-
ing derived and limited Government depend
ing upon the States" mot the "people, who
ordained and established it, has no power to
protect a single man, woman, or child, OF US,
from chattel enslavement, unless we escape into
the Territories (3.) According to this 81 ny
pothesis," the sovereign Independent States"
may undermine the National Government by
the simple process of depriving it of its citizens.
They may chattelize the whole of them, except
perhaps the shareholders, who, in fact, consti-
tute the States. If a State may enslave some
of its citizens, it may enslave all of them. If
one State may do this, all the States may do it
and we become nation of cAattels personal"
