Another invasion of Kansas has been threatened.
For the sirl time are the minions Of Slavery prop
asapdsm in Western Missouri declaring that they
will e1tsrminate-root and braneh-every vestiee
Of 80 Abolitionism in Kansas. Companies are drill
inc and preparing in the border towns Of Missouri,
uitb the avowed design Of utterly demolishing the
CITY Of Lawrence and " cleaning out the Ierr;'
tory. Circumstances seem to portend even greater
e,itement than existed in the Fall OF lco5. Mes.

lions Sheriff jones' and what is the cause OF all
,h;s excitement Briefly this: During the last
Fall one BransOn was taken from the custody OF
sheriff Jones' This rescue" was the origin OF
the "war." and as a sequel to this rescue Sheriff
Jones came into Lawrence on Saturday last Apni
10Y armed with a warrant issued by one Hugh
Csu eron. (Justice Of the Peace under the Bogus
Iegi,lature.) and charging S. n. Wood, good and
t,ne friend of Freedom, with aiding in the rescue
of the aforementioned BransOn in the Fall of 1850
The aforesaid Sheriff attempted to arrest the afore
said Wood; but Wood, not recognizing the laws OF
the LEGISLATURE elected by Missouri Rufians, would
NOT Be arrested. Here wasa fr; but Sheriff Jones
NOT meeting with the encouragement that the -four
i,bipg City of Lawrence might be expected to al
ford. left the place in disgust
On the next day, (Sunday, however, he returned,
bringing with him eleven men as posse. he then
,ttempted to arrest Wood, and in addition to his
farmer exploits he would have arrested Mr.. Tap
nan correspondent of The N. \. Times, for assist
Inc in the rescue Of Wood the day before but be
couldn't. Thus the matter stands, Sheriff Jones
,verrng that he will have his men, dead or alive,
ard the men declaring that he won't How the
matter will end, no one can tell. Inc Border
Rnfians declare that they are coming up here
sgaip: but whether they will or mot remains to be
seen. Nv opinion is that they will stay at home;
hnt NAV be in an error. The most intense ex
fitemept prevails. The people of Lawrence and
Kansas are determined not TO submit to the author
itv of fereipn legislature. Those most skilled in
Missouri and Slavery (ynonymous) tactics seem
TO think that the object Of Gov. shannon and hls
menials is to bring about collision OF the Free
State men and the United States authorities.
They can never do that. The people of Kansas
love the Union will stand by and support 1t, Will
"keep step to it's music; but will submit to an
armed body of Mssourians or body OF their
creatiDg-NEvER Gov. Robinson and Gov.
Reeder arrived in town from Washington last
Friday at the same time with the Kansas lnyestl-
eating Committee.
A meeting was held at UaiOn Hall on Friday
evening TO welcome the emigrants from New
Haven when Cows. Robinson, Reeder and others
spoke. The Kansas Investigating Committee have
taken rooms at the FreeState Hotel, where they
will hold their sessions Mr. Oliver has not yet
arrived BOSTwlCK.
