Gen. Harvey has arrived al Fort Leavenworth, and
taken command of the troops which have been con-
eentrating there for the last few weeks COL Sumner
is 10 be sent out to do some Indian fighting on the
plains. His supposed sympathy with the Free-State
men has doubtless been the cause of his removal 10
q distant field of operations.
The General is considered perfectly "sound on the
goose and he is to remain for the purpose OF assist
ing the Pro Slavery faction in dragooDing the people
into submission to the usmpAOn which has been fast
ened upon Kansas. Secretary Stanton doubtless spoke
by authority when he stated in this city short time
since that the whole force Of the General Government
would be used if necessary, to enforce the laws and
the collection of taxes.
Gen Smith began to be looked upon with suspicion
bR the border Missourians bis remarks about their
Mader Dave Achlson, were not considered very com
plimentary, and gave indication of his unsoundness
on the great issue The General was thoroughly Pro
Slavery, but he had some deoency about nun. ahd
could not indoYse the AtchsOn school OF rutfians,
which accounts for the opposition against him on the
border. Hut Harvey is a very different person. No
have any doubt az to his Devotion 10 the per-
petuation and extension of Slavery. He has given
sufficient evidence of his soundness on that point and
his arrival here gives encouragement 10 our enemies,
who have abundant reason to know that buchanan is
determined to do all he can to secure the final subu-
cation of Kansas. -.
There is diversity of sentiment at present existing
among the Pro. Slavery men; some are in favor of
adopting a Constitution without referring it to the
people for their ratification, while others are willing
submit the single cIauSe OF Slavery OF FIecuOn.
They are united however, in advocating the policy of
organizing State Government at their Convention In
September and by doing secure all the State officers
and the United States Senators. Whether they VIII
proceed at once to complete their organization for
State Government, or wait until Congress shall nave
admitted Kansas into the Union with that Constitution
is not yet known; it is believed, however, that they
have not yet decided to act as a State Government
prior to the action Of Congress.
The bogus Legislature while in session elected Dis
tTictAtorneys, and the question has now come up as
TO which has authority-the Attorney.General ap-
pointed by the President or the District-Attorneys
elected by the Legislature. Mr.. Newsom, District
Attorney has insisted that he has authority to act;
has Mr.. Wer, and the case has been argued before
Cato, and he is to decide tomorrow TO who has
jurisdiction If his decision is in favor probably
will be- of Mr.. Wer, then scores of indictments found
against Free State fall to the ground, OF no effect
whatever, being issued by DistrctAttorney who Is
not recognized as a legal officer.
You have probably heard that the Pro-Savery fac
ton are fast selling out their srongholds TO the Free
State men. They have already despared OF being
able themselves TO build cities, and consequently
have been compelled to give il up aud for their sites
for large towns TO receive Yankee gold.
Delaware City, Atchson and Doniphan, on the Mis-
sour, were settled by members OF the Slave State
party, who at first were determined to exclude Free
State men from owning property therein. But the
fact has been established in this Territory that cities
cannot flourish under ProSavery influences, and the
above towns have changed hands, and are now
counted among the possessions of the Freedom party
men Of Kansas.
Correspondence ofThe Cincinnati Gazette
LAWRENCE, Kansas, May 10, 1857.
Secretary Stanton acting Governor of Kansas
Territory, arrived in this city last evenings he says he
came down TO attend church here to-day. He is dis
posed to keep quiet TO make more speeches, after
hs unfortunate attempt iii this city few weeks since.
On the ninth of next month the Free-State Legisa-
ture meets at Topeka The following circular has
been numerously signed by several Free-State men,
and sent TO each member of the Assembly:
To TIE Members Of t General A,'e1ib!y Of The STATE d
"GMTLEMES: The 9th of June is the time fixed at
your lat session for reassembing TO do the work for
~hich you were elected That time is fast approach
ing, ana We have thought it advisable 10 call your at
Nhuoh lothe great Importance of being ar your posts
onsage ihe iGlilInent OF the trust conhded 10 You
y your isowcitizens. There cannot be the slightest
uoaDt Oh the success of our cause if we all prove true
TO ourselves Il this time The present Administration
we are sure, las no dspo son TO attempt the orcibe
suppression ol ou' legislature. The act OF Colonel
Sumner, IN disperslug that body last July was too
fragrant outrage 10 be sustained by even the Al.
minstration of Franklin Pierce. The President and
Secretary of War publicly disclaimed the Tesponsi.
biliiy of that act. Since th,n new Admins rst;on
has been inauguraed and sthough we NAV not a.
yet be permitted 20 entertain any greater confidence
IN its justice than possessed that of It's prede.
cessor, yet we are convinced that hw be controlled
by more elevated susceptibility " public opinion
and much higher order Of craftsmanship. Upon
these qualities Of the present Administration at least
we must rely for protection from any Infringement
ouI constitutional rights.
IAN should therefore be present on the 9tk OF June
and eompete the State organization preparatory 70 ed
mission into the Union as free and sovereign State.
