The Late News from Kansas.

Itnow appears (says the Baltimore Sun) to
be pretty certain that all the late exciting and
warlike reports from Kansas originated from
the fact that the Free State Hotel at Lawrence,
and the building adjoining, in which were the
printing materials Of defunct weekly journal
called the Herald of Freedom, were destroyed
by fire by party of Sheriff Jones's men, who
had gone into the town for the purpose of max
ing arrests. In melee which occurred be-
tween portion of the sheriff7s posse and seve-
raj Free State fanatics, one Of the latter was
shot and killed, and pro-slavery man acci-
IDENTIFY killed. Subsequently Gov. Robinson s
house was fired by an unknown person and
consumed. This is about the sum and sub
stance of the flaming statements from the focal
point Of the border troubles. A writer in the
st. Louis Republican, speaking of the hotel,
says:
"The hotel, as everybody knows, was moth
ing more nor less than fort. 1t was con-
structed by the disciples of Beecher, Silliman
Co., for the purpose Of resisting any attempt
to enforce the execution of the law within the
range of its guns and musketry. The town
itself was fortified on the outskirts and de-
termination to set all the laws governing the
territory at defiance was openly proclaimed
But the leaders ran away, having no man OF
any note to defend the place, and the result is
stated in the dispatches. There this civil broil,
we hope, will have an end"
A correspondent of the same paper, writing
from St. Joseph, Mo-, under date of May goth,
(the day before Sheriff Jones's party entered
lawrence says:
81 am happy to inform you-and it should
be put in capitals and sent specially to all parts
of the Union-that the Missourians are taking
no part in this. They have not gone over in.
dividualy or collectively, nor nterfered in any
way in this present difficulty. They think there
is sufficient force in Kansas to keep fanatcism
within legal bounds, and have therefore deter
mined to let them settle their own troubles
among themselves"

aTHE sLANDERER Is WORSE THAN
THE MURDERER-o
[dndreis Jackson

dndrrn Jackson.
In conflict between two members Of Con
gress, for words spoken in debate, General
Houston, OF Tennessee, gave TO Mr.. Stansbury
Of Ohio, a thorough drubbing. The occur.
renee at n time Of strong excitement, as now
exists, gave rise TO heated discussions, and
much commentary. 1t was then forcibly urged
that the freedom Of debate" had application
to perfect right to discuss fully every measure,
and to say everything necessary to the support
and vindication Of the rights and interests Of
the people.
That the freedom Of debate" does not mean
unlimited license, is clear, from the fact, that
rules are made expressly to check, and to limit
this freedom Of debate" Speakers are con-
stanty being called to order, for violating this
freedom OF debate" That there is and should
be some limit, all acknowledge. That parla.
mentary rules give the widest desirable lati.
tude for all useful and proper speech, is also
universally admitted. To 90 beyond these
rules, then, is certainly to put oneself beyond
the pale Of protection allowed TO freedom OF
debate Toallow more than this would be TO
afford license to calumny and slander, which
is no part Of freedom Of debate"
OF the advantage Of this very proper dis.
tinction, perhaps nothing can be more condu.
sive, than the simple fact, that no man keeping
within the bounds Of parliamentary freedom
of debate ever incurred personal attack. In
all cases where collisions have occurred, the
parties have voluntarily stepped out beyond the
limits Of that great imminent Of safety, "free.
dom Of debate"
1t was upon this occasion, and upon conside

.sHRIEKs FOR FREEDOM"

Among the loudest "screechers for free
DOM" is the quonddm Governor of Kansas
Reeder. He is type OF all other brazen-
throated traitors.
He was appointed Governor of Kansas after
the enactment of the Kansas bin, embodying
in it the repeal Of The Missouri Compromise,
and he accepted the appointment with the most
extravagant public demonstrations of gratitude.
He knew perfectly well the view of the ap.
pointing power upon the rights of the North
and the South in the Territory, he accepted the
appointment under pledge in good faith to
carry out honestly and fully, the terms and
spirit of the Kansas Bill--he no doubt 30 in
tended But he became ensnared by the
temptations in land speculation. The North
ern serpents were at his ear, whispering that
dangerous, that fatal knowledge Of how to earn
money by treason. Money was to be furnished
from the North to purchase land and men TO
render the land valuable. The almighty dol
lar was put so close to his eye that he could
see nothing else.
Reeder was either profigate bypocrite al
the time he accepted it, or he has been seduced
by the love of lucre to abandon every principle
avowed by him at the time Of his accepting
bis appointment
No personal injustice to himself BY the ad
ninistration could justify in any degree hii
course. His career has been one tissue o
guilt increasing in depth Of dye, until we fnd
him a skulking fugitive from justice, escaping
from the territory and perambulating the coun-
try trying to infame public passions. The
phole end and aim Of himself and coadjutors
is, TO get population IN Kansas from erey
quarter North and South. The ezciteu,e,,t
phich piH do this, piH fill the pockets Of
Reeder 6 Co., rlcther Kansas be a free or
Stare State. Let the honest dupes who per-
init their passions to be enlisted in this matter
by the false and artful representations Of
Reeder, Tribune d Co., recollect that this
whole excitement is a land specializing dodge
by these parties for profit to themselves-while
the Wilson's ct I'd on,ne genus, seek in addition
to gain by it political preferment
These men overlook altogether the interests
Of fbe people Of New York, Massachusetts,,
and other Atlantic States, in their greedy desire
to speculate in Kansas lands, ard to obtain
political preferment on this excitement, which
they could never earn by honest service in the
interests Of their own people.
or such material are manufactured the
"screeches for freedom"
We shall take occasion TO show how disas-
trously must be affected the interests Of all
those who have Railroad Stocks and Bonds,
and Bank Stocks aud other properties If they
can find any adequate benefit for the injury
such investments must suffer, we are at loss
TO understand whence il will be derived.

Buchanan I'm Indiana.

The Democratic Register published at Law
renceburg, (Ind,) in an article in relation to
the Presidency, says:
James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, is the
man for the times. Ripe in years, and having
been connected with the government and di.
plomacy Of this country for the last thirty years,
and with confidence reposed in him blythe
people, generally, he would be able to effect
more IN reconciling and quieting the slavery
agitation which is now shaking the very
foundations of the Republic, than any other
man. lie would be entirely acceptable in
every State, in the North, and would carry over
one-half of the electoral vote north of Mason
and Dixon's line, whilst at the South he would
lose not to exceed two States. We are within
bounds in asserting that Buchanan would re.
ceive ten thousand more votes in Indiana than
any other man the Cincinnati Convention could
nominate-that is to say, that with Buchanan
as our standard bearer, this State will roll up
twenty thousand Democratic majority"
The indianapolis Locomotive, a neutral
paper, says:
"From the reception Mr.. Buchanan has re-
ceived since his return home, by the people,
wherever he goes and the many expressions
in his favor by the papers, we are satisfied he
would be the first choice, if the people could
but make the nomination. In the Now Albany
Ledger on the 18th, is an excellent article on
this subject, showing clearly that Buchanan is
the first choice of the Democracy of Southern
Indiana, and that his nomination would com
bine more elements of success than Douglas
or Pierce. As this is a matter that all are in
terested in, no difference what their political
preference may be, we allude to the subject to
show the strength of Buchanan in this part OF
the State, by incident that occurred the
other evening. Out of nineteen Democrats
that passed along point in our streets, eigh-
teen expressed themselves favorable to the
nomination of Buchanan, and one to Douglas,
and we believe the same proportion would hold
good in the county"
The Brookville (Ind.) Democrat says ii
would be pleased to see James Buchanan nomi
mated and elected to the Presidency

Mr.. Brooks complains that General Wilson
spoke Of his attack on Mr.. Sumner as cowardly,
saying:

note, to request that you will inform me, with
out delay, where and when outside of this Dis
trict further note will reach you"
General Wilson replies:

derous and cowardly. / thought so then, |

This name, signifying Laughing Water, is
given by the Dacotah Indians to a beautiful
waterfall between Fort Smelling and St. An.
thongs Falls, in Minnesota Territory II is a
favorite custom with the citizens of ST. Paul,
the fourishing capital Of Minnesota, and Of
strangers visiting that locality, to drive to Fort
Smelling, and from thence to St. Anthony's
Falls, taking Minne-ha-ba in their way and to
return home by a shorter route.
Fort Smelling is situated upon bluff at the
point where the Minnesota river empties into
the Mississippi about seven miles distant from
st. Paul. Having crossed the Mississippi in
ferry boat and wound around the base Of the
bluff, you ascend to the plateau, on which
stands the fort. Here you see stretching out
before you an extensive prairie, with some roll
ing ground lying on the right hand, toward the
upper Mississippi. In the course Of pleasant
drive across the prairie, the excursionist comes
suddenly upon stream, about three rods wide
which glides quietly but rather swiftly along,
the banks of which are skirted by few bushes
and small trees.
The stranger would proceed on this route and
cross the stream without suspecting the prox.
unity Of the falls Of Minne-ha ba but those
acquainted with the locality seek point below
the crossing tie up their teams to one OF the
small trees, and after walk Of few rods into
the sparse timber, find themselves upon the
banks of deep ravine, into which the nina
ture river enters by downright plunge of fifty
feet, and then runs away in quiet manner, as
if stunned by toe fall from the prairies above
Clamhering down the bank by the aid Of pro-
jecting roots and shrubs, you approach the fall
OF the Laughing Water, which whitens into
foam as they descend, and drive up a cloud OF
spray from the pool below. The water is poured
over a shelf of rock in semi circular form, as
regularly shaped as il fashioned by Yankee
mechanic, and under this shelf visitors pass
behind the fall around to the opposite side, dry
shod. A neater water fall than mis- could not
be whitfield out with the jack.knife, and this
is the nne-ha-ha-Laughing Water-after
which Mr.. Longfelow has named the interest
ing Squaw described in bis story Of Hiawatha.

The Frecsoil Abolition papers are circula-
ting, with great glee, the following specimen Of
Greely wit in proposing Presidential ticket
for the Democratic party:
For President,
PREsToN s. Brooks, Of South Carolina.
For Vice President,
ALBERT RUsT, OF Arkansas.
In retort we will propose ticket opposed to
the above, and We win agree that It shall be
run only in the free States and we assert that
the one proposed below by us, will, in the free
States alone, be beaten by the above more
than two to one. We propose for the Abolition
ticket,
For President
CHARLES SUMNER, Of Massachusetts.
For Vice President,
HOMAGE GREELY, Of New York.
Our confidence that the first Of the above
tickets running only in the free States, would
beat the latter two to one, is predicated upon
that unalterable principle Of humanity, which,
as between the two, would give preference to
those who have incurred indignation over those
who inspire only contempt.
