The fraitors aud rebellionists at Law
ence. and some few other places in the
Territory, are still at their work Of organ
izing another government. From all we
have been able to learn, they did not at
tempt to hold elections for governor and
other officers, at but few points outside Of
Lawrence.
The fate OF the Territorial Register at
Leayenworth. seems TO have produced a
COOL effect in that region; and Kirkapoo
has bocone name of terror to negro
thieves. Kickapoo is entitled TO much
credit Tor the wholesome influence she has
exercised over her ncighbofing town, Leav-

We are no, much troubled in our imme-
diate vicinity. 1t seems the very name
A,ch;son sickens an atolirionist; but we
are informed that in. the western part Of
oar county there is nest o! traitors call
lag themselves Tree white State men, who
are paving, the way to a hemp cord and
swinging linb, somewhere on the waters
Of the Stranger. .
AT the town Of Atchison. we are never
honored with even speech from any
OF lEese renegades, and as for an cleo
ton here, it is the last thing they think
Of. We still have materials sufficient
for RATS, and expect to keep on hard
a constant supply. The papers at Law
renee are full of bcas,ing at the victo-
~ they gained over the pro-s!avery par
ty, which were called there by ,he Gov
ernor 10 the relief Of Sheriff Jones, which
shows. that the leniency OF our PEOPLE has
had no good effect at Lawrence; hut their
elections show that those OF their party,
outside OF Lawrence, are becoming alarm
ed, and if not stimulated to acts OF treason
by the ring eaders a, Lawrence. and in
tie Northern States, they might IN time,
by associating with our People, become
honest men, 3 nd make good citizens. And
these things 60 TO prove, fl.at while indut-
gence and kindness may operate fayorahly
upon tie ignorant dupes to fanaticisin, the
leaders are encouraged IL their yillaiuy /;
and, in oar opinion, TIE only ei1ectuaf way
10 correct the. evils that now exist, is 10
hang pfto the nearest tree the very last
traitor that was Instruments! in getting up,

convention. That once done, and peace

no more OF this new government We are to
have. The prime movers OF this abolition

the sight of good men everywhere; and
OF wha, sort ol materials must party be

We say. that all the law necessary for

Lynch. preside. then the only alternative
Is for llse Governor 10 call an extra session
of the Legislature, to pass laws defining

'rnat they will have TO lie deal, with, and
that speedily, in order 70 restore peace to
si.is Territory, is a fixed fact; and if the
Governor does not see to H. as we have
iuti.nated heretofore, ti:e people will.
Al the last session, an effort was made
TO establish bank. or tanks, in the Ter
ritory, and in the house is was favored, but
in the council the project was defeated by
one uoss. Why this was 50. many of our
people are unable 10 imagine. We think
