The War End ed.

Greeley S Co. will have to start some
other game, they can't hold any trugps al
this. Il few days since the country was
in state OF tremendous excitement from
Maine to Texas, and in one week every
thing is quiet.
Tie Abolitionists have been scbepling
ior year, to bring about collision be-
tween the Pro-Slavery men and the Free
State party in the Territory by a system of
Wholesale lying, till at last some had cor
Guided that it was religious duty to fight
But when the alternative was presented Of
fighting, or obedience TO the laws, their
sober senses returned, and they very soon
saw the utter folly OF sacrificing their lives.
not for any grievance they had to endure,
but for the purpose Of aiding some hearIess
villain to secure place III Congress, from
Massachusetts, and to break down Some OF
the purest and best men of tie Free States
Finding that they had nothing but mere
distractions to complain Of, they wisely
agreed to support the laws in future, and
aid the officers Of the iSw in its execution.
> We hope that no more efforts viii be
made to disturb the harmony Of our Terri
tory; for should the people be called out
again 20 enforce our laws, wo be TO any
man who is known to be rcbellious. Our
people are "slow to anger" but :orbear-
ance sometimes ceases to be a virtue.
We are assured that but for the impor-
tunity OF one OF the most abused men in
the world, Senator Atehison, Of NO., the
town OF Lawrence would have been des-
troyed, and many of the leading maIcen-
tents surnnarily disposed OF.

Governor shannon ana the WAR"

: A mistaken impression seemed TO have
,assessed the minds of both the Law and
Order party and the Abolisionisss, with re-
gard 10 the late difficulty In Douglas coun-
~. ThegeneEal impression was, that there
vas actual civil war. Such, however. was
aoa the case. Gov. Shannon simply or
iered out the forces Of the Territory to as
sist the sheriff In the execution of his du-
" as civil officer. From the gasconad-
ing of the Abolition party through their
press. it was expected that civil war would
ansue upon the arrival of the Law and
rider men on the field; hut no sooner
ms it known at Lawrence that our forces
ere arriving in Lecompton than messen-
gers arrived, declaring that no one in Law
enee thought of resisting the laws, and
hat sheriff Jones could execute any pro-
cess without interruption. When Gov.
shannon arrived, and the most solemn as
surances made that the laws should be re-
spected, and, if necessary, assistance Civ
en- to the sheriff, and when in fact arrests
we're made by him without any assistance,
the Governor ordered the posse 20 retire.

Great Disappointment was manifested
by nearly every one, when it was known
hat there would lie no fight, but respect
'or Governor Shannon and the laws, and
The most perfect contempt for the Abolition

4 Literary Production.

The following significant production has
been III circulation in AtcIison during the
past week. Ii emanates from man who
has proved recreant to the State that gave
hin birth. Although he, in his peculiar
style, denies a statement to the effect that
he IS one Of the party to burn Atclisoa,
his own admission proves that he is in full
fellowship with the traitors at Lawrence.
and even shouldered his gun and marched
in their defence, against the law and order
party OF Kansas Territory. Inaddition to
this. we find his name signed to the Ado
lition production of the Topeka convention,
OF which lody he was member This
letter proves conclusively that only the ig-
norant portion Of the southern population
are ever caught out of the Slavery
ranks, or. are weak enough TO be seduced
by the enemy. 1t is unnecessary for Us
10 suggest feudrd for this traitor. How
appropriate would be Hemp necklace,
placed around his neck by his own coun-
'rymen, whom he has so basely attempted
TO bctray But to the letter.
