BY d. B. FOSTER.
These lonely lands sadly pace
While night is brooding on the sea,
And here with trembling fingers trace
A name once dear to me.
o solemn sea, whose mighty waves
Are marching on the shrinking shore,
A wilder tide within me raves
And surges evcrmore.
The monstrous shapes thy floods beneath,
Whom naught beside may soothe or tame,
Shrinks into silence when breathe
The magic of her name.
Not so within my aching heart,
For there each gaunt and fearful form
In its dark lair will wildly start
And listen for the storm.
For she is false, and by her side
Another at this moment stands,
While am listening to the tide
Upon these lonely sands.

PAST DAYS.

Hey the days when eyes looked love,
And dimples raised delight,
And the palmn an answering pressure gave
AS the dear voice said Good night
Hey the days, the sunny days,
When trifles light as air
Could cause the fountains of the soul
To bubble fresh and fair.
o! they're all gone, all flown, all whirled
away,
Like swallows with the summer, or the still
sea-spray.

The Boston .Lournal remarks

eve do hope and trust that conflict
will be avoided. It probably viii be, for
it is madness on the part ofthe Free State
men to resist the United States Govern
ment. However desirable it may be for
them to have local government. they
must yield to the authority which, hack
ed up by an organised and disciplined
force, says they shall not govern them
selves"
The n. Y. Courier and Enquirer has
the following in regard to the Topeka
Constitution, and the policy Of Gov.
WALKER:-
as the scheme of upholding the Tope-
ka Constitution practicable? We certainly
think it is not. 1t is to be deeply regretted
that Congress did not accept and confirm
it, but the negative fact of its refusal to
do so is conclusive. There is nothing
now to be done but to submit to the ad-
ministratiem of the organic act. If Gov.
Walker is sincere in his promises that all
bona fde settlers shall vote on the Consti-
tuition about to be formed, the period of
trial and suffering must soon come to an
end. For if a constitution be formed ac-
ceptable TO the Free State sentiment, it
will be adopted and will remedy all past
wrongs; if offensive to that sentiment it
will be rejected, and the true reign of the
people will begin"

A Reaction.

The falsehoods which have been cireu-
lated at home and abroad to our injury
and with the view of destroying the Her.
aid of Freedom, have commenced to react,
and even in Lawrence have produced
perfect revolution. Men who were half
disposed to listen to those calumnies have
stopped to investigate them, and the re-
suit is, they are as bitter against the letter
writers as the latter are and have been
against us. In the country, save in two or
three localities where pensioned libellers
have been employed to operate against
us, there is strong reaction in our favor.
Our own subscribers and exchanges in the
States, with not to exceed half dozen
exceptions, are writing and publishing that
they see no occasion for this hullabaloo
against us. They understand the fact that
our press is in the way of the pensioned
letter-writers, and that it is in the habit
of correcting the falsehoods which they
are continually putting into circulation
They know that this is the reason for the
hostility of this class of persons to US and
our paper; and they know, too, that this
was the origin of their conspiracy last
winter to write down the Herald of Free
do0a-a conspiracy they have labored hard
to censummate, but which, instead is kill
ing them.

hiass Convention al centropolis,

& Mass Convention of the Free State
citizens of Kansas will be held at Gen.
tropolis, on Friday, August 14th. at 10
o'clock, p. NJ, for the purpose of inter-
changing views in regard to the October
election. No "gag rule" will be applied
TO speakers on that occasion, and free
speech will be fully tolerated. Old and
new comers, without distinction, are ear
nestly invited to attend and participate
in the proceedings.
We hope it will be convenient for our
friends all over the Territory to attend
the convention mentioned above. 1t is
an important one on many accounts, and
will be the Inauguration of new era in
Kansas, politics. The truth is: Law
renee has ruled the Territory from its
first settlement, and when we come into
Lawrence, we find that not to exceed
half dozen men here have ruled Law
renee. The result is, our destinies for
veal or woe have been controlled by few
designing men. The influence of those
men has rot stopped with Kansas, but
they have controlled the action of the
Republican party in the States, through
correspondents in their service. These
men are ambitious, and expect to be re-
warded by frst-class Offices, by-and-bye.

s1iee Well Stuck TO as Good as the Truth
The violent partizan presses of the
country have everywhere copied Mr. PHI
lpss falsehoods in regard to our buying
up Mr. PRoUTr, but not one of them will
do US the justice to publish the correc-
ton, and this, though Mr.. P. has done us
the justice to present the facts as they are,
in his journal.
From one end of the country to the
other, the press are copying falsehoods in
regard to Us and our journal, not one of
which pretends to correct itself, though
conscious that it has been shamefully
misrepresenting the facts in our case.
Read the numberless statements about
our tEeachery to the Free State party
Why is this, and why are these false
hoods allowed to extend themselves with
out contradiction? Is it because they
wish to destroy the Herald of Freedom,
and suppress its circulation? Our Free
State friends in Kansas are giving the lie
to the SANDER By laboring energetically
everywhere to extend our circulation.
VIII they not do so in the States? If
they will, by the first of January next,
instead OF circulation of 8,000it will ex-
ceed ten thousand. Our people here viii
do their share towards makingit such.

The KaHs at Washington.

The head men of the Kaw Indians are
on visit to Washington. They have had
an interview with the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, and have represented that
they have no desire to sell out their land.
They represented that the missionaries
had been among them for twenty years,
and yet there were no educated Indians;
that the boys are kept at work, and that
produce worth two thousand dollars, raised
by them, is kept by missionaries; that the
missionary had become clerk for a trader,
and was doing all he could against the
Indians; that the traders have laid out a
town on their lands; that their blacksmith
is poor workman, and their agent and
all the officers bad men, and they desire
their removal: that the whites are cutting
off their timber and doing them harm
generally. As far as our acquaintance has
gone with this tribe, they are great liars,
and are of little account generally; but
we have no doubt they have just cause of
complaint against the traders, Indian
agents and missionaries.

A Most Shocking Murder.

We stop the press to announce the MUIR
der of Mr.. Stevens, of Kansas City,
within the precincts of this city, on yes
terday evening, soon after nightfall. The
circumstances appear to be as follows
A Mr.. Bainse, of this city, decoyed Ste
rens to a spring a few hundred yards from
the city, having previously conspired with
two men, Knightson and Quarrels by name,
to murder the aforesaid Stevens and rob
him of his money, amounting to the sum
of sos, whereupon Knightson and
Quarrels, whilst Bains and Stevens were
comfortably seated near the spring, appear
in the capacity Of robbers, offer violence
to each of the parties-Bainse escapes,
whilst Stevens is killed.
The most intense excitement prevailed
among our citizens during the entire
night, and, in truth, it was with great diff
ficulty that the officers could prevent the
execution Of mob law.
A court of inquest was held over the
body of Stevens on Friday night, which
lasted until near daylight, when the jury
returned verdict, by which they pro-
nOunced the murder to have been COM
mitted by the three accomplices above
mentioned.
We should mention that Stevens was
stabbed in eight places with something
like bowie knife, and that the vital stroke
penetrated towards the lungs.
Let not these Scoundrels go unwhipped
of justice. Let justice be done, though
the heavens fall.-Leaveascorth Journal,
11ug. LIST.
Justice soas done to two OF the scoun-
drels, by the people. On Saturday, the
villains were taken from the Jail, where
they were confined, and hung.
1t appears, from the confessions of the
men, that there has been regularly Or
ganized gang,for some time past, in Leav-
enworth, consisting of twenty cut-throats,
who have murdered some eight persons,
and have in treasury some four thousand
dollars, as the fruits of their villainies.
We understand that three of the gang
were taken to the fort. for the purpose of
protecting them from the fury of the peo-
pie. Lecompte addressed the citizens
on Saturday night, as they were about adj
ministering justice to the Williams, and
endeavored to dissuade them from their
purpose-saying that justice would be
done, DC. The people expressed them
selves rather strongly as to his 'justice," {"
and informed him that he had better
keep quiet, or else justice would be meted
out to him.
Weare opposed to mob law, but We see
no way, under the existing state of affairs,
to render justice, but by resorting to it.
Our Territory has become the rendezvous
for villains of the deepest dye. We are
having enacted over again the scenes of
the early history of the Mississippi valley,
the recital of which curdles the blood.
We hope that the people viii allow their
reason to have full sway, and not be too
hasty. Be certain that your prisooers are
guilty, ere you administer justice.

Eow to Res,ore Peaee 10 Kansas,

Let the people alone! 1t is this con-
tinuous effort of a foreign power to gov
ern them, that makes all the disturbance.
Gov. Walkers reply to the Ruffians who
applied to him for troops to enforce the
bogus laws, when he first came, was sem
sible and to the point. Said he: "If the
people made the laws, they must enforce
them themselves; if they did not, they
are not fit to be enforced" This remark,
which was repeated throughout the Terri
tory, rendered him somewhat popular
until he came to Lawrence with the
troops. Touch Lawrence, and you touch
all Kansas. Gov. Walker has not attack
ed Lawrence, and does not intend to. He
is too much of an American for that; but
the 'iag boo," that he made at so small
game as the Lawrence charter, rather
alarmed those at distance. But the people
here never lost days work nor an hours
sleep on his account. The troops are now
gone, quietly as they came, without caus-
ing the excitement of a travelling cara
van

SarfSa.

We acknowledge but two parties in
Kansas. and these are Pro-Slavery and
Anti-SIavery. The first We met on our
arrival here, and know it well. It has
ever followed the Free State settlers M
der different names, with hatred and per-
secntion. We beg our friends not to be
deceived by the specious plea that they
can go back to their old parties now, be-
cause Kansas win be a Free State, any
how.
What inducement has any Free State
man to strengthen that party which keeps
at the head of our judiciary such a man
as Leeompse. or puts into public offices in
Kansas such men as Maj. Clark, Fred En-
cry, Sect. Woodson, Surveyor Calhoun,
Marshal Fame, and hosts of others, who
are known as the most bitter and EiHdiet-
i've enemies of freedom? Because they
call themselves National Democrats, does
that change the character of the past, or
secure us from their vindictiveness in the
future?
The old Free State settlers who came
here first, and have firmly remained, must
occupy their original ground without be-
ing tolled off by the border ruffians under
their new name and new leaders, or being
driven off by few factious disunionists
among ourselves, who are determined TO
rule or ruin. The people in Kansas do
not desire either extreme, and they are
determined not TO be forced into positions
which they do not wish to occupy. This
ruling by cliques and packed conventions
is nearly over. The people must take the
matter up themselves and decide the fate
of Kansas-acknowledge allegiance to but
one party, and that the party of freedom.

The Cheyennes at Fort Riley.

Official evidence has reached Governor
WALKER, through the commanding officer
at Fort Riley, that the Cheyenne Indians,
in force, have reached that station, where
there is no fortifcation, and only half a
company of infantry. The commanding
officer at the Fort asks for immediate as
sistance. San attack 6eing hourly erpected,"
and the garrison filled with the wives and
children of absent officers and men. The
official report represents that "the Indians
had driven in all the settlers and commit
ted several murders in sight of the post"
Under these circumstances, Gov. WALKER
has sent Col. COOKE, with the whole force
under his command, to the point of dan
ger. Col. Cooke started with the advance
on Monday last, and by forced marches
hoped to reach Fort Riley on Tuesday
evening, accompanied by the Governor.
The rest of the troops followed Immediate
ly,and proceeded with all possible expedi-
ton to the point of interest.
Since the above was in type, second
dispatch has been received, stating that
it was false alarm, given by settlers, and
the officers acted upon it without recon-
noitering themselves. The troops have
returned and encamped near Topeka.
