to temporize and to strip the lawless mass OF in

SherilTality ii the 5osse was disianded but we
have not yet learned whether this fearful calamity
has befaen the Territory Of Kansas,
The people of Lawrancc and Of Kansas congrat-
ulate themselves that all the difficulties arc past
and that they have seen the last invasion of Kan
sas by the Border Rufhans. We would like to be-
in the case and fear that such hop" is better toned
than grounded. Pro. Slavery men hare not nhan
duned hopes OF making Kansas Il Slave State. The
same invcternte policy which repealed the sacred
restriction is sleopless ana at work. II these
marauders rctreated without burning Lawrence il
was merely under circumstances which they could
not avoid. They had oped to have lega! excuse
for doing so and when they found themselves out
generated they saw the danger. But their efforts
are not in vain. Oae great policy is by continual

and Eastern people .t5om HdnSus; and by the cry
If "Abolitunisn" to intmdatc the Western set

cety," Southern plan, will answer their pur-
poses.
Besides all this, the occasions for q quarrel are
not removed The acts of tha: false Legislature
will still be like the stumbling block that 'eauSed
Israel to sin" Both parties think they have the
other secured to this and both will find this sub
ect is one that is still to adjust If these laws are
obeycd there is security to elections in Kansas.
and this monstrous inroad (fOr nearly 1000 invad-
ers have been around Lawrence, il all that have
been here since they first began to come and go be
cuuntcd,) is Il fearful evidence that an exposed
bulu-box gives no security for Freedom. The
Pro-Savery men have got the lead here. and they
mean to keep it. Horribly corrupt and fraudulent
though the means Of obtaining this power have
been it is still recognized, and will be fully sus
tnined as it hns been. 10y the national executive.
The laws of that Legislature are dead weight on
the hopes of Freedom, and although their own
monstrnus iniquity has almost killed them, it has
not quite.
The Missourians are determined that these laws
shall Se enforced, and it is fitting for they made
them. The position Of the Free.State men is to
rcpudiate those laws; and yet this is thought by
all conservative men. here and every where to be
yafhey resoutiunary-"take legal remedy" is the
suggestion. iegal remedy! first before terri
toral court that is Pro-Savcry up over the eyes,
and then to the United States Supreme Court
and what then? dave not all our courts become
pieces of political machinery fearful extent

If the Sands Of invaders lad 10 &c raised from
II common population and mustered ior the service
hy false rumors and excitement, | would think
that another such crusade would not be so CaS-
lv raised. rs this defeat would discourage them.
The real danger, however, is from the secret or
gnniznrinn, Of which there is Lodge in every
town and village Of Western Missouri. These
men are under the most Solemn obligations -and
obligations to crime have their effect such
men as they. The Lone Star" Order is a cruel
bird of prey which hovers over Kansas, ready t"
pounce upon the Ftee-Stato men the moment any
member Of it may make a false step.
