turned to Congress from Iowa, Maine or Vermont.
Every one of them has been driven out" So the
work goes on-Southern fre-eaters. aided by the

out of Kansas, and in return Northern Freemen
aided by the ballotbox are kicking the apologists
of slavery out of the halls of Congress at an equal

This afternoon both the Republican and Amer
lean conventions united on an electoral ticket
Julius Rockwell and Thomas Colt being electors
at large. Previously the American Fremonters
had nominated Dayton, for Vice President, in
place of johnson, and pledged themselves to Ia
Dor for the rejection Of the former to the Senate.
The Fremont Americans also pledged themselves
to hold congressional and county conventions on
the same day with the Republicans with view
to union. The question came up in the Repub-
lican convention to adopting the American State
ticket, including Gardner, for Governor. There
was considerable excitement and confusion. FL
nally motion was adopted that the Republicans
nominate no State ticket. This is satisfactory to
the Fremont Americans, and insures the united
vote of parties for the Fremont ticket. ..l

Last Saturday was the time appointed by the

which purpose betweeri two and three thousand
OF them were cncam SGD in the vicinity. Our
impression is, that t'ney again changed their
minds, but we shall soon hear.
We find the following letter in the Missouri
Republican: Ea.r
Extract from a Private Correspondence.
Letter frorn a Free State Prisoner.
CAMP OF U. ). CAVALRY, near LecomPton,
Thursday, Aug %.
Our trial takes place week from next Monday.
The .. S. forces in the Territory are now guard
ing US. Hundreds are seen on every hand from
our tent, and the hills and valleys are black with
horses as far as the eye can see. Why all the
troops except two companies from Forts Leaven-
worth and Riley, are conferred here, within eleven
miles of Lawrence, is more than we can divine,
since acting Gov. Woodson informed commit
tee from Lawrence, last Sunday, that the people
there could have no protection from the federal
troops, since they would not pledge themselves to
abide by the Territorial laws. He told them that
he viewed them rs outlaws, and should treat
them as such.
1t is said that three thousand Missourians are
marching against the town. Our people are
bending every energy of which they are capable
to give them warm reception. Our only hope
| is in the immediate arrival of Gov. Geary, our
| own strong arms, and the God of battles. If a
collision occurs, which now seems unavoidable,
the issue will be a bloody one. About five hum
dred pounds Of type, belonging to the Herald
of Freedom Office, was scraped out of the river
and was in the Office designed for me again. Our
friends found it impossible to get ON without
cannon balls, so the type were cast into balls,
and at the fight near Lecompton, few days ago,
were hurled at the enemy. 1t is said the letter
in that shape made deeper and more favorable
impression than ever known before. Our oppo-
nents could appreciate such arguments.
| Truly yours, e. w. BROWN.
