The Result, so far.-If ever men were
cursed by the interference of their friends in
their behalf, it is in the case of the Adolf
tionists Of Kansas. The howlings of the New
York Tribune, the squealings of the New
York Times, and the screenings of the thou
sand othcr Abolition presses, and the Shrek
ings of the thousand Abolition orators for men,
arms, money, and sympathy, has resulted in
getting them simply into the position Of avowed
rsbsls utterly incapable of defending them
selves against the officers of the law. When
last heard from, Lawrence contained but
third Of its population at this period last year,
all having abandoned it but the loafers and
madmen. Little was to be had in it, for love
or money, but shocking bad whisky, which
sold very high, and Shapes rifles, for sale at

left to natural settlement it would have re-

work has been overdone. The hands of AL
