Kit Carson.

I this day had the pleasure Of seeing
and conversing with the far-faned Kit
Carson. He is mild, pleasant man in
the expression Of his face, and one would
never suspect him Of having led the life of
daring and adventure which distinguish
him. He is refined in his manner, and
very polite in his intercourse and his con-
versation if marked by great earnestness.
and his language is appropriate and well
chosen, though not pronounced with correct
thing he says is pointed and practical. ex-
cept when INDUCING in vain Of humor,
which is not unffequent. No one can con-
verse with him an hour without being fa-
svorably impressed; he has jovial. honest.
open counienance, and kindness of heart
almost feminine. He is universally beloved
here, and favorite of all classes, Indians
Included. He never ailudes TO his career
as an adveninrerunless questioned. relative
to il. Although he is free and easy in his
conversation, everything he says in regard
TO him self partakes of a degree of mod
esty almost Incredible In one whose life
has been an unbroken succession OF hard
ship and dangers. You may have seen a
small periodical floating about Washington
called Kit Carson, the gold hunter" l
had red it, and in the course Of our CONVEX
sation asked him If it were true. He
said ii was not: every statement made was
false. He is represented in this pamphlet

Ma. EDIroR Il noticed in your paper
of Saturday, August 9th, resolution in
reference to the riot in your town on the
Saturday before, was passed by meeting
of part Of the citizens of your town.
Now do not know whether majority
of that meeting were Pro.Slayery or Free
State men, nor do wish TO censure the
motives of that meeting. The resolutions
are ambiguous, and might be interpreted
to wrong those persons so murderously

not infringe on the liberties of speech, by
implying that they would not punish those
who did that day destroy the liberty of
