The people thought they had all escaped
but when they found there were three NOR
in chains, they lent them some "outsid
pressure" by the help of which they cscap
ed to Topeka, without an effort having
been made to arrest them.
The track of the Border Rufians can be
followed by such landmarks as Chimney
stacks, and half burned logs. Many mer
who assisted in carrying on the war, now
denounce the whole proceedings in the
strongest terms, and say they were led in.
to it by designing men and broken down
politicians. At Independence, l heard
two Kentuckians say that if ever man
deserved to be hung, StringfellOw does
and that the Gcorgians were the greatest
set of thieves ever was in any country ;
and yet these two men contributed largely
to the pro-slavery cause last summer.
1t amuses NE to hear the difference be-
tween the Northern and Southern Demo-
Gratis. have heard not less twenty men
from the Southern States talk about the
dissolution of the Union, and every man
of them claims, that if ever the Union is
dissolved, Illinois, Indiana, and Pennsyl-
vania will side with the Southland give
their reasons which is, that the last Presi-
Dental Election was direct issue on that
question; they sided with the South then,
aud of course will again. Il. MC.

LAWRENCE, X. +. April 90, 1857.
My father, his four brothers,
and ali their families, helped "roll the ball
for Freedom and Fremont" in the old En-
pire State, last fall. Although he is GO
years old, my father intends to remove to
this place next fall, and labor for liberty
and the right.
/ have been here year and half, and
| can assure you that Kansas must be free.
The General Government have not the
power to permanently enslave us. A Pro-
Slavery Constitution will be formed this
summer, but the Democratic party dare
not force it through Congress if they do,
their doom is sealed, and the great Repub-
lican party will march to certain victory
in lS60-while Kansas, tn ough in name
Slave State, would send Republicans to
Congress, and pass local laws so oppressive
that slave holders could not afford to bring
their slaves here. Though crushed ts the
dust, now, l predict that Kansas will be
in the van of the Republican cohorts of
1850. Truly yours, l.. J. W.
SECRETARY STANTON reached Lecomp-
ton on the Sth ult., and entered upon his
duties as acting Governor until the arrival
of Walker He delivered an "address"
to the people, in opening which he an
nounced himself as native of Virginia
and resident of Tennessee, and then very
cody informed his hearers that they might
judge from this fact "of has prociirities."
He thought that the free State people were
making a great mistake in not voting for
Congressional Delegates, and, further, that
the Constitution, there adopted, would
pass Congress. He deeply regretted the
disturbances that had occurred in the Ter
ritory, and hoped that there would be no
further trouble, but maintained that the
M~s Of the Territorial Legislature, must be
enforced Mr. Stanton is a fne-looking
man, and, it is said, means to do about
right; but the free State men are greatly
disappointed in his speech, which betrayed,
as they think, an unaccountablc ignorance
of Kansas affairs, and hostility to the
free State cause 1t is mentioned as a
singular fact, in connection with Mr.. Stan
ton, that he followed DR.. Stringfellow,who
delivered pre-eminently pro-slavery ad-
dress, holding that he had, as National
Democrat, two great objects in view-the
first, to do all in his power to make Kan
sas slavc State, and, failing to do this,
to make it Democratic free State, WHICH
Is ApoIrr THE c.Nr THING
