last week, and told him that she had fixed
her affections upon a gentleman whom she
knew he would be unwilling she should wed
but without whom she could not and would
not live.
Papa requested the name of the gentle
man who had won his daughters heart but
she, going into dramatic platitudeS. declared
she felt assured he would not give his con-
sent. but fate had united them in soul; that
the helitrope of her existence must ever turn
to the sun of his loves that the harmony of
earth and heaven would be marrcd if two
adorng spirits were divided; if the divine
stream of their life did not unite, and flow
through the vale of time. clear, bright and
beautiful.
But who-who is heo Pray tell me-" in.

The name was given; and the parent, with
out moments consideration. consented to
the union.
The daughter then burst into Medean
storm of seeming grief, which very naturally
astoni-hed her parent.
Why, what als you my dear chido Have
not granted Your wish? l am perfectly
willing YOU should marry him you love- What
more can do ?"
"Sighs, tears, groans and wringing of hands
were the only answer.

And let slip the dogs of war"

Philips was shot down at his own threshold.
and bullets were fired into every part of the
house. The leading citizens we're driven from
their homes and their wives and daughter,
subjected to every species Of indignitv. In
the agony of despair many appealed, as only
the suffering can appeal, to Gen. Smith. the
commanding officer at Fort Lcavenworth, for
a detachment of troops to protect their fami.
lies and property. But that appeal, which
was enough to make a marble statue vecn."
met no response from the icy-hearted com
mander. Though he might have quelled the
assurances IN moment, no finger was lift
ed, and no orders issued, except to command
his sergeant to drive from the fort the afflict-
ed citizens who had there sought temporary
refuge and protection. In that act the Aav
OF our country was disgraced, and the charac-
ter OF our military officers stained. 1t would
require volumes to enumcrate the outrapes
that were subsequently pcrpetrated in Leav
enworth-how houses and stores were burnt
how the citizens were forced upon the boats
at the point OF the bavonet-how men were
murdered in cold blood-how the sick and
the weak, innocent women and harmless chill
dren, were treated with cruelty almost beyond
conception. Such were some of the more
marked features which distinguished the reign
of the t" law and order party in Leavenworth
City: There may still be seen the charred
and biackened ruins of many buildings that
were destroyyed-many are the residents who
can give heartrending accounts of what occur

graves upon Pilot Knob seem to pEad, With

second bogus Legislature convened at Lecomp-
ton. A more disgraceful session could not
have been conceived, nor could a body of
men have been found more bitterly oppoeul
to the views and convictions of the froI0oA-
party. Their Legislation was perfect -
cry. forming . fit sequel to. and connoaAk
link with the enactments of that first odiio1o
and illegal body. which inaugurated rsin.
OF terror in Kansas. and which spread q
bllghting devastation over the beautiful AM
peaceful face of the Territory. In vain Gov.
Geary strove to moderate their fury and allav
their passions. To no purpose did he veto.
their outrageous measures. Insensible to the
dictates of reason. and deaf to the pleadines
of justice. yet they had the inpudence to BE-
lieve that the actual residents of Kansas.
would be forced to acknowledge their legality
az Legislature. and the binding force of their
enactments. God forbid that such another
Legislature pollute the soil or taint the At
mosphere of the Territory.
The pro-slavery convention that met At
Lecompton on the 18th of January was an
outgrowth of this rotten and pestiferous
trunk-an ugly hut natural cxcresccnce. The
address they coined is too palpably counter
felt to pass current, and adds but another to
the formidable list of crimes of which the .law
and order party" or " National democracy Of
Kansas, have been guilty-the crime offalse-
hood and perjury.
On the 4th of March. Governor Geary sent
on his resignation to Washington. His rea-
sons for this are only too well known. The
faithlessness of the federal administration
the hostility of the judiciary; inactivity of the
military; the refusal to remove Lecompte;
the want of funds, and the development Of
conspiracics against his life. compelled him to
decline. His statements prove the desperate
character of the pro-slavery leaders who have
so long disturbed the peace Of the territory.

that the half Of what the free State citi.ens
