Ercm Kansas.

XIV Citizen. The Citizen is paper
strongly devoted to Southern institutions
and Southern interests:
Our friend Sehree. just returned from a
trip to Kansas, handed Us yesterday an
extra pripted at Westport, No, on the 23d,
giving an account of tie late proceedings
In the Territory. 1t does not differ much
from the account received by telegraph,
and TO be found in another column. II
states that company of about two hum
bred armed free State men had collected
at Lawrence on the day after the assault
upon that place, and an attack from them
upon the town OF Franklin was feared.
The account is infamatory and eounsels
st;fFfurther violence. 1t contains the fol-
lowing significant passage: :" Our Mis-
souri, friends must understand that this is
but the-beglnning.o the end. We want
you still.
Mr.. Sebree says that large numbers OF
Missourians are in the Territory, and that
the supply of them IS os..y limited by the
demand. His representation OF the men
who compose the body of the pso-slavery
party and of their proceedings, is not very
ilattering 10 them. He says that the de-
cent Southern men who go there under no
undue excitement, are ashamed of them,
and he saw some such whese minds, on
the subject of slavery in Kansas had un-
dergone a complete change The large
company Of Southern emigrants, recruited
in Alabama by Major Buford, he repre-
scents as miserable SET of drunken loaf
ers, many of whom have died in conse-
quence of their vices and ifnprudence,
and all OF whom are cGrsing the men that
induced them to go TO the country.
Mr.. Sebree says it is generally conced-
ed that of the actual citizens OF the Ter
ritory, two 10 one are in favor OF free
State, and that with the exception OF
comparatively small number of brawlers.
they are quiet, Industrious men. seeking to
establish homes for themselves and their
families. They have been out-numbered
and out-voted by the people from the bor-
ders of Missouri, who have been organ
lied for that purpose. These are unpala-
table truths for Southern men, but the
sooner the truth is known the better. Mr..
Sebree thinks that the war has but just
commenced, and that in short time thou
sands % armed men will be III Kansas
from the free States.
The above precious moroccan we clip
from the Lexington Mo J Express, pub
lished in that journal without comment.
In so short an article, we do not remernEsr
before Of ever seeing so many lies uttered.
Mr.. Sebree is probably an abolition;st, OF
which Kentucky is well supplied, and his
statement should receive no more credit
than similar assertions which are daily
appearing in the New York Tribune, nd
other abolition sheets.
That any Southern man is ASHAMED of
Col. Buford's men is a lie, and 1t is equal
ly false that portion of the Southern en-
igrants have changed their views on the
Slavery question. Mr.. Scbree further
states, that of q ths actual citizens of the
Territory, two to one are in favor of free
State" this statement is also untrue, and
IN our opinion the author knew he was
lying when lie made the assertion. If
such is the case, the South should use ten
fold the exertion she now does to send en-
igrants to Kansas. Mr.. Sebree's story is
SO paipably false that any one can see its
author is more of a Northern fanatic than
Southern citizen. 1t much surprises us
that such papers as the Paris Citizen
should circulate such libels without expos
ing them.
