/ A REIGN OF TERROR IN KANSAS.
LAWRENCE, STATE OF KANSAS,
Saturday, May 81 !
Editors Chicago Tribune
KANSAS TO THE NORTH.

KANSAS TO THE NORTH.
There is Reign of Terror in Kansas.
The prospects of Freedom are gloomy.
The Northern squatters are yielding to
despair. Their only hope is in North
ern resolution. If the people of the North
command their Representatives to STOP
THE SUPPLIES, unless Kansas be admitted
Immediately into the Union, they will
fight and struggle till the end ; but if
the supplies are granted, without this
proviso. they must yield to the over
whelming foreign forces united to SUBJ
due them.
The position of the Northern people of
Kansas is one of imminent peril. The
troops, the Courts, the Blue Lodge and
the Southern army under Buford and
others are necessarily employed in rob-
bing and harrassing them.
If Northerners unite for mutual pro-
lection, the troops Immediately disperse
them, and party of Missouri or Ala
bama ruffians, following in the footsteps
of the soldiery, plunder and insult them
with impunity.
Every man who is capable of acting as
a leader is either under arrest or under
Indictment.
The farmers are forced to be idle il
their fields for several hours daily, il
order 10 keep up watch for the ap
proach of guerillas.
Scouts ride all night in several dis
tricts.
Missouri is marshaling her force
again.
Lies, malignant and innumerable, ar
sent in legiOns along the border cOun
ties, to exasperate the people of tha
State against the Free State Settlers ant
their political opinions.
A civil ar or submission to arbitrar,
rule, to despotism on the Bench, mill
tary dictation and armed mob law, ar
the only alternatives before the peopl
from the North, in this Territory, VIII
are resolved at all hazards, to remai
here.

PIC MIC MEETING IN FARMINGTON


Abigail Moffit and Molly Wade, sisters
of the wife of AbJah Lee, migrated, with
their children and their families, such as
had families, from Montgomery Co., in
the Safe of New York, and settled in
Pennington and Bristol.
The return of Lot Moffit of Saint Paul,
Minnesota-on a visit among his friends.
was made the occasion of a meeting Of
the descendants of these three original
families on the 5;h inst.
After hearty greetings and congratu-
lations. on motion of Isaac Lee, Esq,
Willard Curtis, was called to the chair,
and E. F. Curtis appointed secretary.
Abijah Lee, aforesaid, by invitation ad-
dressed the throne of grace. Remarks
were made by Reverends Alexander
Easton. Newton Young, Ezra Wade,
Dwight Bates, and others. Music, in
strumental and vocal, was interspersed
through these exercises by Mr.. Joseph
HazIedine, and Mss Mobry, of Farming
ton. Adjourned for dinner. And now
followed a feast of good things, and a
for of soul. Meeting called to order by
the chair, when the following resolutions
were unanimously and most enthusiastic
ca!ly passed by the meeting.
Resolved, That, as descendants Of the
Pilgrim and Revolutionary fathers, we
take this occasion to express our hearty
sympathy with the people of Kansas in
tFeir present struggle for the enjoyment
of their natural and inalienabe rights
rights guaranteed by the constitution,
and which are basely cloven down by a
ruffian mob, clearly set on and encour-
aged by the government of these United
States.
Resolved, That in the recent mal-treat-
ment of Charles Sumner, with the light
in which the act is treated in portion
of our country, we see fearful evidence
of an approaching crisis in our govern
ment, and we call on the people of the
North to prepare their hearts and hand:
for any calamity that may be in store fol
them.
The following sentiment, offered by
Lester Moffit, of Geauga Co, was heart
lily adopted.
TO LOT MoFFIT AND LADY.
/ tits with regret that we bid you adieu
but such is the order of nature. May you
ever be animated by the pure principle:
of freedom-free to act, free to think
and speak your thought; and may there
ever be one righteous Lot to save the
city. Though we are called upon to bic
you adieu, we will ever cherish you il
our memories, and may you with us 81
live, that though we meet no more OF
earth, we shall meet IN that not tar OF
home, where we shall not be called upor
to bid adieu to friends.
The whole number present was 165
beside many absent. After time o
general singing by the friends, sponta
neous remarks, and jokes, and nint
cheers-three for the descendants o
each of the three original stock, the
meeting adjourned.

killed a fellow workman named Nally,
for seducing his sister. The young man,
accompanied by his sister, called upon

take the consequences, and instantly
drew a pistol and fired. The ball enter

fastened home, reached his mothers
house, and expired in few minutes
Jarboe and his sister calmly leftthe scene.
He acknowledged the deed, and told the
excited crowd which Immediately gath
cred around, to be calm, and that he
was going to surrender himself immedi-
ately. He did so, and was committed to
await his trial.
