TTN


From Our Special Correspondent
LAWRENCE, X. r., June !, 1857.
This afternoon Lawrence exhibited L little of the
old Spartan feeling that has so often characterized
its citizens. The first fruits OF Gov. Walkers
new administration have been seen. The decara-
ton made in the Inaugural that the Governor in-
structions from Washington are, Sustain the reg
ular Legislature of the Territory" is beginning to
work. That Insignificant representative of bogus law
and rufian dominion, VIM. 7. Fain paid visit to
Lawrence this morning. Nomlnaly, he came 10
collect taxes really he came to work mischief.
Gov. Walker had come 10 the Territory, the repre-
sentative of more power than any other Governor
had ever been able 10 bring Like all his lustrlous
predecessors he had opened his mouth when lie
reached the Territory, and out leaped, " maintain
the authority Of the Territorial Legislature
The Fro Slavery men of Kansas are cunning
They want 10 see how far that authority will he
maintained. With them bogus legislation and Bor-
der. Rufian domination are not sounding brass
and a tlDking cynibal.
Deputy Fain came To Lawrence to-day to collect
the taxes He did not expect 10 collect them lie
Knew the thing had never been done except III The
few communities under Ruffan power lie knew
he could not collect anything himself. All ne
wanted was an excuse for getting Walker and the
United States dragons 10 do II.
No sooner was his presence known than iutter'
ing was visible among the people. \ meeting was
convened in the public square in front OF the Nor
row House The old backbone Of leJ1 projected
very unmistakaby. II was bad enough to send any
BOGUS Tal Collector or Assessor Ia Lawrence, but
to send the man who had been made the prominent
instrument in the sack of Lawrence last summer,
was heaping insult upon injury 30 II was te.t' ana
such was The spirit that gave tone to the following
