I've take is article entire and ask every reader
Of The oPress" il the truths could be more full
" s.aied?-Ws answer for yOu in advance, that
you say It contains ",he truth, the whole truth,
aud nothing but the truth"
DENocRArro AooNT.-The democratic papers.
generally, are striving to make great deal out
Of the shooting Of the mock Sheriff Jones, IN
Kansas To read them. one would suppose
that the loss Of human life causes them the
most intense agony, anj that their concern Goes
not grow out Of the fact that Jones was on their
side, bu. results from the tender regard they
have for the protection of personal rights. 1t
is Delightfully."- refreshing to witness from them
such horror Of assassination and so awful a
sense of the guilt Of murder.
But how comes il, we might ask our dear, iuno-
cent, indignant editorial friends Of the demo-
CRATIC press, that this agony and horror never
was manifested by them before. For eighteen
long months, now rufianism and lawlessness
have been rife in Kansas. Phillips was mob
bed, plundered and beaten for his political o.
pinions. Dow was murdered by Coleman for
being Free Soiler. Rev Mr.. Clark was strip
ped beaten and set adrift in the Mississippi for
preaching an uupalatable sermon. Delahay's
Press was thrown into the river for defending
the right of suffrage, Branson was seized and
threatened for having Free Soil boarders at his
table. Parks Office was torn down and robbed
because its editor upheld the laws. Voters
were stabbed and fred upon at the Polls
Judges were dragged by violence from theil
seats, and peaceable Glergymen maltreated and
robbed Barber was killed, without a word OF
act Of provocation, By one Of the United States
officials in that territory, that pet of the admin
istratiOn deliberately shooting him down in colo
blood. And last, but not least, poor Brown
was waylsid, abused, tortured, and literally
killed inch by inch, by horde of outlaws, 70
no other offence than being Free Stale man
Yet to all these 'crimes and assassinations th
democratic press has been blind and deaf
and dumb. Sometimes it has denied their ex
istence. II has never condemned or depreca
ted a single one, But now, when one. of tn,
perpetrators of them, encounters the bloody
hand. the administration press cannot find word
to express its horror and indignation! W,
must be pardOned for suspecting a zeal agains
crime, so pmtial and unjust IN its development
When the cruel murders of Dow, Barber anC
Brown are condemned and avenged, we shal
believe our contemporaries in earnest in calling
for similar condemnation and vengeance upo
the asSailants Of Jones.

LAWRENCE, April 80, 1856,
In my last mentioned that the Kickapoo
Rangers were eEcamped on the opposite of the
river. Two of the citizens OF Lawrence went
over that evening to reconnoitre the position,
&C., Of the enemy. They were seen and fred
upon, and chased by some rangers on horse,
back, but by lodging in among trees escaped.
We haVe since learned that the enemy intend :
ed to murder them if caught. They are very
bitter towards the people of this city, because
Jones was shot here. Yesterday it rained very
hard, and the rangers dispersed. Where they
now are Is not known.
A gentleman visited franklin last evening,
and reports that Jones is not expected to re-
cover; the wound is bad one and very much
inflamed' Sam, Lattus, in whose face a lady
of Lawrence threw some hot water, when he
came to search for and arrest her husband is
very badly off; one side of his face is scalded
bad taking off his beard and skin, 1t will be
long time before he will be out again. The re-
port that he Undersigned his office is confirmed
The Congress Commissioners are busily en-
gagged taking testimony, Yesterday an old
man named ]. Davidson, who has claim about
three miles from this city; and voted last Janu-
ary for Governor and other officers for The
State OF Kansas, testified that he was mem.
ber OF secret society in Missouri, whose OBJ.
jecti it was to make Kansas a Slave State, The
society is called BY various names such as Blue
Lodge Social Band, Friends Society," Sons

Cass Co., Feb 1855; came here with party,
and voted on the 3Oth of March.
Some baggage wagons belonging to the u
nitsd States arrived to-day, loaded with provs

are to be stationed among the people of Law

buried alive in the Blue Rock coal mines near
GAINESVILLE, by the falling in of the mine e. the

The Lawrence correspondent OF the Democrat
says:
Col. Sumner encamped opposite Lawrence
on the 25th with 200 dragons. and addressed
letter on the eth to Gov, Robinson, stating
that the attack on Sheriff Jones has produced
great excitement throughout the Territory and
the Missouri frontier, and urging on the people
Of Kansas the importance Of ferreting out and
bringing the assassin to justice, He says also
that the offence has been reported to Washing
ton, and whatever orders are received thence
will be carried out.
Gov Robinson replied that the attempted as
sassination of Jones was unanimously condem-
ned by the citizens of Lawrence. Ii the guilty
were found be would be gwen up: Il had been
the policy Of the people of Lawrence to yield
prompt obedience to the U. s. laws, and as
Jones was acting under the authority of that
government on the day of the assaults, the one
who perpetrated the deed was an enemy TO the
citizens Of Lawrence, no less than 10 the viola.

LIQUOR RIoT.-The jamestown Journal gives
the particulars Of novel riot which occurred
at East Randolph, Cataraugus county, New
York. on the evening Of the llth ult. A par
ty Of the most respectable ladies of the place
had assembled as "sgrprise party" at the
residence Of Hon Benjamin Chamberlain. when
it was suggested that tavern kept by man
named Wheeler was an iniolerablo nuisance by
reason of the liquor dispensed there, and they
resolved TO abate it.
Before they arrived at the place of attack, the
landlord having got wind Of the movement
had secreted his lquof and barricaded bis
doors, and his wife had provided supply o
hot water to give the assailants a warm BATH
Nothing daunted the feminine stormers brok;
open the door, and although the vOllies of hO
water did some execution, rushed upon the foe
The landlord took refuge in the garret, bu
was captured and bound, and taken towards
the creek to be converted into "cold waite
man" by dipping, but he succeeded in break
ing his bonds and escaping.
The women then returned to his house. de
molshed his jugs and casks of liquor, an,
his windows, and were about to make sim
liar onslaught upon two other liquor establish
ments, when the enemy saved themselves by
capitulation. The women justify themselve
for resortng to these extreme measures on th,
ground that the landlord continued to sell II

pite entreaties, and they could obtain no Othe
