GOV. GEARY AND HIS PEACE"

From Our Special Correspordcn:.
LAWRENCE, X. T., Oct. Is, 1cJ6.
For some time back The friends and enemies of
Free Kansas in the States have been tck!ed by the
tune. "GOv. Geary has restored peace to the Ter
ritory, and all the difficulty is over" This deusive
falacy is an insult and another wrong to the unhap
~ Free-State people. Peace has been restored as
il was in Hungary in 40, or as Col. Sumner re-
stored il last Summer, by disarming the FreeState
people, and leaving them at the mercy of their enc
miles, Gov. Geary has been profuse in protesta-
tions and promises TO the Free-State men, but his
acts when stripped of all this mOckng tlnsel, prove
that he is unable as unwilling, TO protect Free
State settlers; that he is determined to make them
bend to the bogus usurpatons that he is hostile 10
all Free State demonstrations (Which are indeed.
awless under bogus authority; that be offers
no opposition to arrests being made by bogus
officers under the most frivolous pretenses, or 10
the unhappy victims being treated in the most gno.
minious manner; that he has allowed Wild Rur-
dering bands Of Missouri invaders to go, after the
commission Of violence and crimes, UNPUBLISHED,
while he arrested by the dragons a large party
upward of one hundred Free-State men-who had
marched from Lawrence and vicinity some few
weeks ago, TO repel one of these invading parties
and that furthermore, he turned those unicrtu-
mates over to the tender mercies of the Border Rui
fans. Titus and his myrmidOns, as enrolled
militia, have been guarding these prisoners at Lee
compton. The Pro-Slavery Courts and bogus
officials have been fabrcating indictments against
them last week. and this week many of them will
be on trial for their lives. and the remainder for
trumped-up felOnies. God have mercy on them
see no power here that can and niU.
Nor is this all. GOV. Geary keeps most watch
full eye on emigration from the Free States. AS the
Border Ruffans have practically closed the naviga-
ton of the Missouri River overland emigration by
Nebraska has been the only alternative All such
overland emigration pa-takes of the caravan, or
aggregated party of emigrants, and the danger OF
being intercepted by bands of Missourians on the
frontier renders this precautiOn doubly necessary.
Spurred on By the Border Ruiiians, who groan over
the advent of every FreeState emigrant 10 the Ter
ritory, the Governor has kept the greater part OF
his force of dragons securing the country in that
direction. One or two of the emigrant trains have
passed the dragons; peaceful the appearance
of the teams their contents and occupants that the
dragons never suspected that such could be the
Northern EARNED emigrants." Ii is, indeed, not
difficult to get in in this way, although the dragons
are being used to the best advantage 10 keep them
out The North is thus officially tabooed and
hedged out of Kansas by the Border Ruffans on the
Missouri River, and Geary and his dragons on the
North. That the Governors sensltiveness about
EARNED immigration is not equally acute st all
points. will mention that company from Missis-
sippi Of some twenty-five young men, armed 10 the
teeth, enrolled as military company, not woman

very august gs place of abode and every night
last week their arms were stacked IN front of their
bivOuac, while their sentry kept his martial tread
under his omniscient Excelencys grea. nose. This
company came in guse in which no FreeState party
ever entered the Territory, and every evening last
week any person about Lecompton who was not deaf,
could have heard them swearing about what they
were going to do 10 the "AbOhuOnlsts. Such q
