letter from Kansas, giving the following in,
teresting items. The character of the wri
ter is youched for. After speaking of the
cruel treatment of those who have been ar.
rested at the instigation of the rufiians un.
der authority from the court, the write,
says: ls a-ss a.fs 8
Men who have heretofore advocated obe-
dience to the mandates of the U. S. District
Court in this Territory, are no longer to be
found. The practical operations of the court
are nothing more nor less than the worst
system of desposism. It is base hypocrit-
ical farce-nothing less than mob of Vir-
g'nia, Georgia and Alabama, with judicial
head to sanctify its despotic acts. a,ft
He also mentions another of the grievances
which the Free State People on the Potawa-
tomie are liable to: - - aa.
. A few days since the wife of the pro-slave-
ry postmaster, during hisabsence, took it in
to her head to burn all the letters and pa
pers addressed to Free State men on The
Greek. This act was done, and if there was
any court in the Territory where the matter
could be examined without endangering the
lives and property Of the Free State men, it
would be attended to. This is but small
matter to the squatters of Kansas; to rob
the U. 5. mail and destroy it wholesale, is
not looked UPON as you in Ohio would view
it. Our troubles and annoyances are of more
magnitude than the loss of few dollars in a
letter, or a few newspapers. 1t has been
quite common occurrence to receive letters
broken open when taken from the post Office.
There are many old squatters who are Spot
ted that have not received line from their
families for the last six months. " q -. "a "a, :
Mr., Buchanan formerly voted in favor of
riflng the mails to find and destroy docu-
ments in favor of freemenl,, and this practice
in Kansas will be sustained BY the admins
tration-if the country is ever SO unfortunate
as to see him elected. ~ ''.' ''-''-
