tFatton 70 be inauguf1fed ~ Secretary Stanton
and Gov. Walker. First: The full recognition
of the vaiidity of the Territorial laws as they
now exist, md their execution in the spirit ard

citizens of Kansasfrom foreign interference, and
the guarantee 10 each and every one Of the free
md untrammeIed expression Of opinion.
Now it must be clear as daylight to the most
obtuse understanding that the second of these
propositions is in total and fagrans con;radic-
ton of the first; and that if the first is car
RED out, not only does il render the second i'm
possible, but will be in itself an annihilation of
it. The Territorial laws rs they exist-the en-
tire bogus code from beginning TO ends but
piece of .foreign interference of the most
outrageous character. The spirit of that code
from beginning TO end is intrusive and Border
Rufian. To carry out those laws according to
their 'spifit' viii be to sustain and aid the
shareholders of Platte County and the adjacent
parts Of Missouri in appropriating the Territory
OF Kansas to their own exclusiv, use, By driv-
ing Free State settlers from it. As TO the .let-
Ter Oh tHeiE bogus COuey " CURTAINS quite
number of enactments as to which it was con-
fessed during the late session Of Congress by
quite number of Administration Senators, that
they were entirely indefensible, harsh, unjust
and oppressive, if not, indeed, unconstitutional
How absurd, therefore, for a programme which
sets out with determination to sustain and ex
ecnte such code in the spirit and in the letter.
to wind up with talk OF protection against
foreign interference and the free expression of
opinIon As we'll might the bighwayman, who
has just knocked you down aud rif1ed You of
your money, undertake to assure you of his
protection against being assaulted and robbed
BY somebody else, Bogus legislation has rob-
bed the people of Kansas of their rights. I'M
der-color OF hatlegislation, bogus officials have
been entrusted with every public trust, and the
bogus laws are designed, both in spirit and let
| ter to enable these intruders and usurpers to
maintain themselves in authority. What in-
solent mockery, then, to promise protection
against foreign interference, in the same breath
in which the determination is declared to up
hold and sustain this atrocious usurpation! The
receiver, according to every maxim of morals,
is not one whit less guilty than the thief He
who not only harbors the thief, but protects him
in the enjoyment of his plumber, and drives
away with force and violence the owner who
comes to retain his stolen goods, is himself not
only thief, but robber; and when he adds
to this an harangue about his resolution to
maintain every one in the possession of his
property, he will subject himself to the addition
| al charge of being cheat and hypocrite
If the firstarticle of the programme OF the new
| government Of Kansas is correctly stated by The
| Kansas Herald-and that it is would seem to be
confirmed by the Geographic report of the speech
| of Mr. Stanton delivered just after his arrival
| that programme may well stop there. To prom.
Use the people of Kansas protection against for
| "eign interference" at the same time that you
| tell them that they must submit to bogus laws,
| is like slave trader on the African coast under
tiking to reassure the unhappy cargo slowed
| away in his hold, by protestations that be will
| protect them against kldnappers at all hazards.
These bogus laws are the very 'foreign interfe.
| renee" of which the people have so loudly com.
| planned, and it is the attempt to enforce these
laws in "the spirit and letter. which lately in
| voved the Territory in all the horrors and ca.
lamities of civil war. We could very much de-
sire that Gov. Walker may, as The Kansas Her.
! aid promises, manage 'the affairs of the Terri
story not with reference to the interests of one
peculiar party, but tor the mutual benefit OF all
"the citizens of Kansas" but to do that ne
must necessarily abandon the enforcement ofthe
| bogus code, which, as everybody knows, was
enacted, or pretended to be enacted, not for the
mutual benefit Of all the citizens of Kansas, hut
party, and that decided minority of the inhab-
| itants Ea-a n. Y. Tribune.
A FREE Soil PAPER IN TExAs.-The Galveston
| News is very severe in its denunciations of the
| Quitman Free Press, a newspaper published in
Wood county, for its "open and bitter hostility
| to Southern Institutions" 1t processes to sup
port the Southern Democracy, and still ventures
| to believe, and what is still more important, to
say that the interests of Texas would be greatly
| promoted by substituting free for slave labor
| And to render the case still more alarming, the
News says that the Democracy of Wood county
have elected the editor Of this same anti Slave
cry paper to represent them in the State Con-
venton. The News is candid enough to con
| cede that eff the people of that section of the
State, or any large number Of them, desire to
rid themselves of the institution of Negro Slave
ry, we suppose they have perfect right to do
so in legitimate and constitutional manner
This is a stretch of common sense which has not
been attained in many Of the Southern States.
The time will come, however, when the question
| will be canvassed as prc-eminently one of home
| interest

New MODE OF SUBpGNA1NG W1rNEssEs-A
COrPesDOndent writes from ono Of no int
towns of this State to New York paper, of
new way to subpoena witnesses: law suit was
of in the town, and young "Spooney' engaged
to subpoena the witnesses. The roads were al
most impossible on account of the mud, and
two of the witnesses living some three or four
miles away, bright idea struck his muddy pate,
and forthwith was acted upon. He sat down
and wrote each letter, stating that sum of
money was deposited in his hands, which they
could have by calling upon him. They called,
and got subpoena and twelve and half cents
each :"'.- s.4 af. l
THE WILD MAN-The Savannah (Mo) Eagle,
of the Sth, says:
The wild man of Buchanan CO., who has been
spoken of and described by our st. Joseph cor.
RESI- ondent, was re-taken day or two ago, and
is now in our county Jail, where he will remain
until the county court meets. He is renlarka-
bly, strange being. When lie was brought TO
town and while several persons were around him,
he made an attempt to escape in doing so, he
jumped about six feet in the air-over the heads
OF the bystanders. His movements were antici-
pated, and by the time he reached the earth he
was seized. We have not enquired as to what
he eats in the prison, but we are lead to suppose
that he will not eat anything but dead cats, from
the fact that his nest, or den, when he was dis
covered, showed evidently that several cats had
been devoured. More Of him at another time.

The writer quotes Judge Buefs opinion as to
