We reached here at 10 o'clock this
morning, eleven cars overlooking with
people. Trains followed from other
roads until the whole town seemed 10 be
swarming with human beings. The
Iowa delegations arriving first took the
lead in the imrense procession behind
a flag from Burlington bearing the in
scription, "Iowa leads the column" and
one from MI. Pleasant with .Iowa the

The Outrages at Leavenworth.

HE
We have RETAINED from publishing
the accounts of these outrages until We
could get such as the people could rely
upon. We have now detailed accounts
of them, which have come in such q
manner, and through such channels. that
,he most skep,ical B%uchaneer cannot
doubt them. They compose a tale OF
oppression and tyranny, Of inhuman
and savage ouusges. which must sicken
the heart Of any man who possesses an
io.a Of the genuine spiri. of liberty, OF
who has the slightes, regard for the wei.
fare aud honor Of his country. 1t has
come to a Eeniable pass indeed, when,
in the broad daylight of American free
dom, a whole community are compelled
TO abandon their property, and are driv-
en- from their homes without means, to
seek shelter among strangers, and in q
country distracted a. that is. II ofenc-
es approaching in tho slightest degree the
snormity Of these were to be committed
against American citizens in a foreign
land, the whole nation would be impell.
ed to take up arms and redress them.-
Bot such things may be done in Kansas,
and United States troops sent there for
the express purpose of preserving peace
and protecting the people in their rights,
when appealed to by these oppressed
people, reply that saeir hands are tied
behind them, tia. they have no authority
10 act. In the name Of God what au.
,hority do they WANT Must they have
express orders for every step they take!
When they see the torch applied or the
rifle draw must they senc or 10 Wash
ingten and receive authority before they
San interfere! While men are being
deprived of their properly, aad women
and children driven from their homes,
must the army stand by and refuse to
extend protection to them because the
government has not ordered them TO do
is No, this is not the reason II gov
eminent desired that wrong and oppres-
siou should be put down, the authority
to do 20 would not for o moment be
wanting.
The ou.rsges al Leavenworth were en-
,irely unpr evoked. The free State men
of that city knowing tina. from the fact
Of their being on the border they were
liable to Re involved in trouble, studious-
ly avoided all controversy and collision.
In order to avoid difficulty they even
staid away from the polls at the munich
pal election. But moderation did not
avail th,m anything. The border ruff
fans compelled them either 10 join the
pro-slavery cause, or to leave. They
mus, choose one or the other Of these
alternatives or die.
Rejecting men are beginning to in.
quire seriously what will be the issue of
all these troubles. A much longer CON-
unuation OF them will bring on a calam-
i,y. il may BE-. nothing less than a gen.
eral civil war. The times demand a
change in the administration Of the gev-
ernmens, and that, too, right speedily
The people must decide at the coming
election whether they are sovereigas OF
