Free State Party in Kansas.

Midnight murders, assassinations, bur-
glaFies and arson seem now to be the
watchwords Of the so-ealled Free State
party. Whilst those rebellious subjects
confined themselves to- the resistance OF
the law. in their attempts to- make arrests,
and execute process in their hands, the
pro-slavery party in the Territory was de-
rer1nined TO stand by the law, and aid the
officers in executing process, and the courts
in administering justice And that we
have no doubt IS still the determination Of
every pro.slaEery man, but there is time
for all thiDgs. Self-protection-defenee OF
ons's life, family and property are rights
guaranteed to all law abiding citizens ;
and the manner and mode of keeping off
murderers, assassins, &c., are not confined
to. any very strict rules of law. The pro-
slavery party--the only law abiding party
in Kansas--are fully able to sustain the
officers of the law in executing it, and if the
traitors to their country are determined to
force upon US civil war, which must necessa-
rifY bniDg about general collision all over
the Territory, it will be found that the pro-
sla~esy party viii also be able to meet that
emergency. Hundreds Of the Free State
men, who have comHittea no overt acts,
bss have only given countenanee to those
rssklsss Aprderefs, assassins and thieves,
viii Of nee'asi,y share the same fate OF
,l.ear brethren. If ciyil war is to be the
fesnlt in such conflict, there cannot be,
and will not be. any neulrals recognised.
He that is not for as, is against us" will
Of nacassity be the motto; and those who
are not Wiling to take either one side or
the other aSe the most unfortunate men in
Kansas, and had better fee to other regions
as expedi,iously as possitle-they are pot
the men for Kansas.
Civil war is truly great calamity but if
it must come, or we surrender up our rights,
the sooner the better. We intend to main
tain the laws and our rights at all hazards.

his alternate, that he will be unable to at

Congressional interference in the rights of

The Congressional Committee Of 1nves
tigation


The abolition members of the commit
tee that came to this Territory to enquire
into the outrages committed here, have
done more to bring about civil war than
all other causes combined.
They backed up Reeder TO resist the Of
Ulcers of the law, and the rabblc gathered
strength from their action, which brought
about the necessity Of the United States
Marshars calling out a posse recently al
Lawrence. Howard and Sherman are
c.argeable with all that posse was COM
PEELED to do. Since then, midnight assas-
sinations have been the work of those de-
luded wretches that have been sent here
by the aid societies. And Howard and
Sherman are chargeable with every drop
of blood that has been or will be shed
and God only knows the end.
Howard and Sherman have, by every
possible means, sought to bolster up those
traitors who proclaimed their determination
to resist the law, even to bloody issue !;
and in so doing have striten to aggregate
the pro-slavery men to deeds of violence.
1t was hardly possible for pro-slavery
man 10 be witness without submitting to
gross insult from those members of the
committee. They sought to conceal all
facts teuding to show the North chargea-
bic with all our difficulties, and to exage-
rate and aggrevate everything coming
from the other side. Surely the good men
of the North will he ablc' 'to appreciate the
dirty work of Howard and Sherman. We
state facts, and they can be proven.
Congress ought now to send here an
honest committee TO enquire into the con-
duct Of Howard and Sherman; and if il
is done, it can and will be proven. that a
baser part has never been acted by any
high functionaries of the government since
its foundation. Reeder's action was mere
ly that Of one man-not clothed with the
power of the nation hut Howard and
Sherman came clothed with such power,
and have basely used it 10 bring about a
civil war in Kansas, which may result in
a dissolution of the Union. They deserve
the doom Of traitors, and viii, when their
conduct is made know to the world, be a
bye-word of reproach in the mouth of ev-
cry good man both North and South.

Civil War in Kansas.

Il .Ne,o Game proposed by Me-4boiifioRists-
Since the organization OF the Territory the
abolitiOnists have proposed various games
by which they hoped to win Kansas. at all
of which, SO far, they have been defeated.
Failing to carry the elections by fraudu-
lent voting-by packing upon US unscru-
pulous census takers, by which we Were
defrauded out of our just representation
by placing abolition judges to preside over
the eleciions-by an atternp. to swindle us
out OF our representatives after they were
elected-by attempting to defeat all our
Legislation after we had met In the Legis-
lature-by attempting to defy the officers
of the law in enforcing its requir ements,
they have commenced new game-that
of midnight surdering. And now armed
bands of assassins are prowling about,
numbering men at midnight for no offence
except their political opinions. We have
so far, in bold, manly open manner, met
and defeated every move hitherto made by
them. This new "game" they have COM
menced in the same way There must be
no might ,sorh, bvt in the face of day we
must hunt these banded outlaws to death,
or out of the Territory.
Since the Marshal and Sheriff's posse
left Douglas county, that, and some coun-
ties, have been the scene of more than a
dozen murders cold -blooded assasina-
tions-men who had been guilty Of no Of
fence whateyer-men, some of them, who
had never taken any part in the proceed
ings against the laWless men of Lawrence.
but who chanced to live surrounded by
these miscreants. Where will this thing
end? TO us, the only feasible plan is to
convince them that, like all their former
proceedings will prove a losing game and
we think that it will prove the last game
they will propose. Every man who is
known to have taken any actice part with
these lawless traitors, should be silenced IN
some aCay.

The two grown negroes said they would
stay; a negro girl ten years of age, would
no, leave her master and mistress. Mr.
Jones started, leaving his negroes, but be-
fore he had gone far, he was overtaken
and his negroes returned to him the
scoundrels thinking, doubtless, that their
lawless acts were premature.
All the pro-slavery families at Hickory
Point, have been driven off at the point of
the bayonet-hasing only one half hours
notice to leave in. Their horses are press
ed into the abolition service, and their
provisions stolen by the abolitionlsts.-
