THE PRO TEN. GOVERNOR AT LAWRENCE.
o. STANTON, the acting Governor of Kan
sas, wentto Lawrence the other day, and
delivered most impudent and insulting
speech, in which he exhibited himself a
silly braggart, armed, however, with the,
entire power Of the United States Gov
eminent. ybngyq - mnai5 b9lla-.h e
In the course of his remarks he said !:
"'The Federal laws must be obeyed,
and he had come to see that they were
enforced.''.i 9sad am D!ryu 15.'sl.
The audience responded, d" That's
right, wen help you enforce them they
shall have our cordial support +" And
the enactments of the territorial (bogus)
Legislature must also be obeyed," added
the Secretary. u.' letoafat

"Then you and l." continued Mr..
Stanton, growing much excited, and
looking very pale, care at war upon this

for you to attempt to resist the authori-
ties, for you will not be fighting with the
Missourians nor the Border Ruffians, but
with the mighty and irresistible Federal
Government itself. YES, the United
States forces will compel you to sue

Great excitement ensued hereupon-
the audience Kissing, laughing and ex-
claiming, /" Come on with your troops :"

Gov. Robinson at last came forward !:
begged his hearers to let Mr.. Stanton
proceed, and to answer him when he fin

Mr.. Stanton, having cooled down a
little, in Recommending, asked his hear
ers if they would pay taxes to the Terri
torial bogus officers. 5aig ae. 3lG9ll
"Never," they replied. "No bogus
officers shall come about us. We will
pay taxes to U. S. officers and to no one

Mr.. Stanton continued his speech,
treating of general topics, and finally
closed by reading passage from Hiawa-

wash the war-paint from their faces, and
smoke the pipe Of peace. ,4i "a Ina
The address was a most unfortunate
production from beginning to end, and
has lost Mr.. Stanton the respect and re-
gard of all Free State men. It was i'll
calculated to harmonic political diferen-
