AT ITS OLD Tricks The Pioneer saws
that the Legislature, recently assembled at
Topeka, and elected by the actual settlers of
Kansas, presumed to nulliiy United States
Laws and advised resistance to the United
States officers"
A more barelaced falsehood was never ut.
tered than that. The Free State men have
invariably bowed to the authority of the United
States, and this fact is so generally known,
that 1t Is source OF surprise to us that the
Pioneer will make such reckless charge. =
Has it lost all fear Of God and man! The
Free State men have been fighting against the
bogus laws of that territory, not the laws of the
United States, and with a full knowledge of
this fact, the Pioneer deliberately asserts to
the contrary. The Legislature to which it
alludes, does not seek now. nor never has
sought to oppose the United States laws, and
still the Pioneer asserts to the contrary, and
after all, pretends to be respectable but it
never will be until it learns to tell the truth.

Of the Capitol was crowded last evening to
