He said he LEFT Lawrence next morning for
Lecompton with party of eight pro slavery
men. He had no difficulty with them. Tie
tcld them that his father was born and raised
il slave State, and he supposed he might have
been born in a slave State too, if he had said
anything about it. He said they laughed, and
concluded hcswas all right.
The audience having by this time diminished
to about half the number it was at first, our
speaker turned around and asked the President
ifhe hadn't better quit
The President said he didn't know-it wasn't
ray late yet
Our orator not being sharp enough to take
this gentle hint, next launched out upon the
principle the Kansas Nebraska BILL he said
that the bill was an outrage; that it pretended
to make the people sovereigus, but it didn't, do
it: lst hc said, it gave the President one-third
ofthe sovereignty of the Territory, be cause he
was to appoint the Governor; 2nd, that another
third was taken from the people by the appoint
ment of the Judiciary officers; 3r,l, that two
thirds Of the remaining one third of the right of
government left to the people, was taken from
them by the appointment of the judges of the
elections and then the one-n ninth left the people
was usurpod by the Missouri rufiians which
left them withouta d-ned bit of squatter
sovereignty.
! He next went into discussion as to the best
means of making Kansas Free State; he said
some thought it could best be accomplished bv
the election OfFremont, that might do, he did
not know; some were for passing resolutions, but
that wouldn't accomplish anything, others
thought itcould be best brought about by pray
er, but he could tell them that prayer had lost
all its efficacy III this case. His plan was to
raise men and arms to go to Kansas and fight
He said the Missourians we've towards, and that
Ohio should raise at least 1000 men, eouip
and send them to Kansas immediately while the
balance Of her citizens should stay at home and
support Fremont. --. -.
Thus ending his haranguc, the speaker took
his seat amid the most profound silence. Dur
ing its delivery not clap of the hand or a stamp
OF the foot was given to encourage him in his ar
dorous task fperpctrating that for truth which
not only he, but every man in the house knew
to be false. Its only a few days since this pro
found speaker and biographical reasoner when
addressing the citizens of Canton, (O.l stated
that he was not in the city of Lawrence at the
time ofthe sackng, he having left the place some
two or three days before that notable event
tranSpired. Can anyone take that which he
states tor truth, when he states one day that he
was In Lawrence at the time ofthe sackinr and
the next he avows he was not? Surely not
And yet we hear men who belong to the Woody
Horse clique, quoting his assertions and telling
us they are the words ofone who seen it all.
The geatensG'rs, q character for morality
needs no better exponent than his own words.
ut one time he says: "Fll be d--ned if YOU
Shall have my arms" Again ho says: "Lcft
the people without ad---ned bit of souatter
sovereignty" again prayer has lost its elica
cy'" But it is unnecessary reader, for us to
dctain you with comments on his remarks or
his character; the former were 50 ridiculous that
they drove large portion ofhs audience from
the house, while the latter is so plainly portrayed
that none need be mistaken.
