'mter Yhig is TO be
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-11-14

Last summer we stated that there wer,
horse thieves in and around Lawrence
who for the sake of carrying on their bust
uess with greater security, desired re.
newal of our difficulties. This as
sertion went out, coupled with the insiDua-
ton that another class of men, from IN
worthy motives, desired to keep up thu
commotion also, such howl went up
threats of assassination were daily made,
as well as of mob violence against the
Herald of Freedom Office Honorable bust
ness men entered for time into the feel
ing against us, being made to believe thai
we implicated them. The result shows
chat we were correct in this, as well as il
other things. On the last Sunday of 0cto-
Der nine horse thieves were arrested, and
their confessions implicated about dozer
more. Amongst them, we recognize some
of the loudest street brawlers against Us
and our paper. 1t now appears, how GER
tain able bodied men, can hang about
town all summer and not work, and vel
have plenty of money.

School Meeting.

The school meeting on last Saturday eve
ming was thinly attended. The few who
were present were of the literati of Law
renee, and spoke we'll and subscribed lib
orally for the school. Men who had no
children to send gave their twenty FIVE
dollars each, with freedom that showed
they appreciated the object. There are
sixty men in and around Lawrence who
have had the advantages of a liberal COL
legate education, and if their talents are
extended in that direction, our city will
soon become the Athens of the West.
The condition Of things around us has
been such as to compel men of literary
taste and habits, to become part soldier,
part politician, part laborer and but lit
tie student. If this winter should pass
quiet, and men could command the time,
Lyceums and other literary institutions
would spring up around us. The FREE
School will be sustained through the
winter.

Gone into Winter Quarters.

The entire military force, which has
been stationed at Lecompton during the
session of the Constitutional Convention,
to protect that body from the violence of
the PEOPLE, while that body was framing
a Constitution as the fundamental law of
that PEOPLE, took up their line of march
for Fort Leavenworth, simultaneously
with the adjourning of the Convention.
What a comment does the above facts
furnish, in regard to the legality of the
body thus assuming such grave powers
Will Congress dare, with certainty of
a revolution following, impose that Con-
stitution upon the people of Kansas as
their fundamental law. We think not.

ou;n,on Of . xsnza. Subscriber.

A gentleman writing us from Manhat-
an on the 9th ult., inclosing subscrip-
ion for the Herald Of Freedom, incidently
emarks:-
Il am returning to New Hampshire to
pend the winter and l want a reliable
Kansas newspaper, knowing as do that

or you in New Hampshire, and shall do
Ill can TO extend the influence and cir
qulation of your paper"
This is the position and expression of
nearly every Kansas subscriber with whom
We are brought in contact. The censures
which were bestowed upon US in the past
10 longer rest at our door. The Herald Of
Freeton policy has prevailed. Those who
were in doubt, or who were misled by the
" claquers" have changed front. The
same revulsion in our favor viii follow in
in the States, and at the proper time, too.

On our recent trip up the Missouri we
became acquainted with several persons
who were on their way to Kansas, invited
-hither by the news of the great victory
,ained BY the Free State party over their
,pposers. One gentleman, a returned
'alifornian, who had accumulated re-
recsahle properly there, said he had never
tonight of G ming to Ka'.sas until the
-legraoh brought him the positive as
nrance that the Free State party was
ictnrious-then he resolved to cast his
lestinies with lis.
Another had left the Territory in the
Spring, completely ont of patience with
Kansas and her politicians, aud their do
,ofhing policy. He only saw chance
Cor hope through the baliot-box- The
self.ooastituted leaders bad dis ,arded peace
'ul means; he was opposed to revolution,
md he left the Territory in despair. He
saw the attacks upon the Herald Of Free
Inn, because of its voting policy; his
.ympathies and prayers were all with us;
he people had triumphed over, and in
lefanee of the politicians, and he deter
mined TO come back and make his per
manent home in Kansas.
An old lady of intelligence started east
.bout two months ago, to smooth the
pillow for her dying son. whom she had
left i'll behind her in Illinois. The ex-
,ggerated stories in regard to our troubles
here were such that at first she was really
frightened. She supposed new difficulties
had broken out, and that a civil war was
inevitable. She CHANGED to examine the
lates of those letters, when she found
hey were written day or two before she
eft home. She had heard of nothing of
he character indicated, indeed knew the
stories were false, ard told her friends so,
md the facts have borne her out in her
statement.
Thus events move on, and thus the
iollies of those who are supplying the East
with news. As writer of some eminence
-Amarks, speaking of similar persons,
They have become so accustomed to
wing they will do it when truth will
answer their purpose quite as well; indeed
he.latter, with them, has gone quite out
If fashion, like an uncouth garment of a
Gothic age
Thousands and tens of thousands of
persons, all over the North, have either
been frightened away from Kansas, or
stopped from coming here, by the marvel
rus stories propagated at the expense of
ruth, to make Kansas letters readable
trough the Northern press. A herd Of
'inae-serUers, forgetting that there is flu
ure, when their exaggerations will be
exposed, do not hesitate to tell the most
'oare- faced and damnable falsehoods, hop
ne thereby to partially benefit party in
he States; they forgetting that when the
ruth is made potent. as it will be, they,
heir lies, and the cause built upon them,
ike Jonah's gourd, will be swept away
ogether and forever. Let those men con-
fent themselves with giving the correct
Jews of the day, as it transpires. Leave
men, and parties, and principles, to take
are of themselves. and then the people |
an Judge without prejudice. Having |
he basis on which to found an opinion, |
hey can reason and think intelligently, |
md act rightly.

Leeompton, on the morning of Satu

Lecompton, on the morning of Saturday
week, was again the scene of an
other tremendous excitement The ri
NOR became current the night before that
LANE was approaching that town sgain
with an armed force, with the very an
generous purpose Of dispensing the Con-
stiiutional Convention. and hanging seme
af the ro.orious members thereof. Il is
unneces<ary to observe that this aPpre-
hension was confined to the members OF
the Convention aforesaid. and its hangers
on. Accordingly, an order, We suppose,
from the mayor of Lecempton was sent 10
the officer having command of the q. s.
forces encamped near the town, to have
the troops in readiness at moments
warning, and at the call of the civil au-
thorities. Meantime, Lane was attending
to his material interests of Fall City, Ne
braska Territory. one hundred miles OIL
more distant. There was, however, a
meeting held at Lecompton on that day,
the object of which. was to sustain Gov.
Walker and Secretary Stanton in their Off.
cial reputation of the Oxford and McGee
election returns. Thus it is. those fellows
whowere playing the farceo framing Con-
stitution for Kansas were, at the least evil
dence of movement by the people, fright
enedoutof their propriety. The sin they
wree every day committing in,heassump-
ton of delegated authority to frame fun
dimental law for this people, would make
any set of men afraid Villainy is always
eowardly, because the perpetrator is con-
scious of deserving punishment and is
therefore apprehensive lest it may steal
upon him unawares. y

The same idea was reiterated more
deliberately in a speech at Big Springs, in
he presence of very large number ei
he Pro-slarery party. who were in at

rs personally, IS we'll as publicly in our
hearing, was one Of the reasons which
prompted US to give the Governor our
support.
Lest it be said the Governor has talked
differently to Pro-slavery men in private,
we copy the following from a late num-
Der of the Richmond South, violent Pro-
slavery paper of Virginia. which publish
es. as the editor asserts, a letter addressed
- HtAt 'iotn d Luclilucf Va Tue OoiIStlE u
tional Convention of Kansas. This men,
Der stated that money had been sent on
from Washington to induce the men,
bers of the Constitutional Convention to
submit their work to the people. In the
course of that letter, he says:
1.-THE following is specimen of how
far the money received from Washington
has been made use of to effect the ruin
of Kansas. Whitfield said to me in con-
versation-What are You men going 70 do
with the Constitution? | replied, / had
one vote and one voqce, chich should be
used most strenuously to make Pro sla-
Uery Constitution, and send direct to Udsf-

ocrats, denounce you, and memorabilia
Congress not to receive your work. 1t
matters not what followed; but this will
show you what immense efforts are being
used at Washington to control the Con-
vention. Gou. Halker sent specially to me,
an.s after four hours Of the hardest taking
he ever hal in his life, failed to conv1nce me
either Of the trutlyalness or erpeaieney of ms
reasons for submitting the Constitution to
the people"
1t is well known fact in Kansas that
with the exception of surrounding the
Constitutional Convention with troops, at
their request, to guard them from the pso-
pie for whom they were framing Con-
stitution, agreeably to his Instructions
from the President, Withdrawing those
troops from Lecompton the very hour that
Convention was adjourned, he has kept
wholly aloof from it siEce he first saw
that he could WELD no favorable influence
over it.
He told us at Topeka, and repeated it,
that he would 'join us in lawful opposi-
tion to their acts" if they should prove to
be what the facts have shown they are
We see no better way for him to do it
than By calling the Peoples legal Legis,.
iature together to consider the matter,
and this we are assured he will do on the
call of the people.

Repnb:ishe

Last week during the absence of the
senior editor to st. Louis, and contrary to
his expressed wishes in the premises, the
junior ''took the responsibility" of insert
ing portion of the copy of letter writ
ten to friend by Mr.. BROwN, from camp.
upwards of year ago. detailing the Incl
dents of his arrest and confne ment ON the
charge of high treason As there were
numerous errors in the article, as pub
lished, and since several friends have de
sired it complete in one number to mail
to friends, and for preservation, we have
concluded to republisb that portion given
last week, with the balance written out
at the time. Had Mr. Brown been con-
suited in the first instance, no portion of
the narrative would have been published
at present; but as it is partially before his
readers. he deems it but proper that they
have the closing portion of it.
