KANsAs.-Gov. Walker has commit
ted great blunder and made himself
ridiculous, by his farcical proclamation
and Quixotic expedition against the city
of Lawrence. 1t was conceived in an
ebulition OF passion, or fit of drunken
ness, without any sufficient cause, and
the trouble now is with him, to get out
OF it with decency. He has placed him
self in the wrong, and the unobjection-
able conduct Of the citizens of Lawrence,
seems to render his conduct apparently
still more unjustifable. By one incon-
slderate, foolish act, he has lost the repu
tation that has cost life time to acquire,
and destroyed all the moral influence Of
his name, to accomplish the great pacfi-
cation it was his mission to effect. He
has fallen from position Of honor and
respsct--with the line of duty clearly
defined before him-to a situation Of ri
diculous embarrassment, from which
there appears no way Of honorable es-
cape, but fatty to acknowledge his error.
The whole grounds for his terrible
proclamation, and warlike movements.
were the adoption Of a municipal form oil
government by the citizens Of Lawrence,
who were without any form of local ad-
ministration. 1t is not alleged that
any ofthe provisions of the charter adop
ted contravened the organic law Of the
territory, or any act, even of the bogus
legislature but Walker holds that the
movement by the citizens to organize
any government at all without the spe
cial warrant Of some other power in the
territory, was treason itself. 1t has beer
held to be the right of the citizens Of thi.
country to enter into any social or loca
organization that they deemed proper
and where such proceedings were oppos
ed to the statute or fundamental law
they were nugatory, and it was the pro
vince Of the Courts to set them aside
The framing Of scheme Of organization
although its design be reasonable.
not subject for the executive power t.
interfere with. 1t must wait for the
overt acts under it, before it can clain
the right to repress it. There was moth
ing in the Lawrence charter opposed t.
the laws of the territory ;--if there haG
been, the government under it had no
been organized, and no overt act ha(
been committed, of which he could a.
Governor, take cognizance. If Treason
was contemplated, his movements wer,
premature and ridiculous. The Cover
nor has marched with his troops to Law
renee and encamped them in the vicinity
The people of Lawrence, having violated
no law, and not contemplating any trea
son, have given the Governor no caus,
to assail fhem-and as they presume b,
will not dare make wanton and unpro
voked attack on them. they pay no re
gard to his presence with his troops, anC
are quietly and industriously pursuing
their usual business and the Governor
remains in mastery" and very ridic
ulous inactivity" with no excuse to us'
the power he has invoked, and no lool
hole of an apology for his ridiculous er
ror out of which he can crawl.

The editor Of the Baptist can be satisfied

going home towards morning, found his

Thinking money the best plaster for
wounded honor, instead OF going in, he
broke pane of glass out of the window,

the gentleman's pantaloons, and extrac-

Minne.o,. Cop.,i,u,,op.l Convention.

Minnesota Constitutional Convention.
The anarchical spirit Of party and
faction that has demoralized many Of the
Legislatures ofthe country, has extended
itself to the more grave. wise and august
assemblagss, elected by the people for
the important and sacred purposes OF
framing the fundamental laws Of the
State. The Minnesota Constitutional
Convention is divided into two contend
ing factions, with separate organizations.
each prescribing the other rs usurpers.
The difficulty originated in the first at
tempt at organization. The Democrats,
on the first assembling Of the body,
claimed, that the Secretary of the Terri
tory-thoush there was nothing in the
law, usage, or duties Of his Office to war
rant the pretence-should call the as
semblage to order and preside during
the preliminary steps of its organization
The Republicans claimed that it was
tie right and duty Of the convention to
select its own temporary officers to pre-
side during the preliminary proceedings
for a permanent organization. The Re
publicans having large majority. adopt.
ed their own mode Of proceeding. The
minority Democrats immediately seed
ed and refused to participate in the pro
ceedings. The Republicans persisted il
their course, and having a majority o
the whole number Of Delegates elected
to the Convention, continued their pro
ceedings and claimed, Of right, to be tn,
convention. The Democrats retired t
another room, where they hold regular
daily sessions, claiming on their part Il
be the true legal body. The Democrat

A BLooDLEss WAR. - The attempt
yesterday to raise a mob to drive the
negroes from Union township, proved,
a. we predicted, entirely abortive. Its
publication defeated the designs of the
rioters: Sheriff Gavitt, was early on
the ground with the Deputies, and by
prompt action and judicious manage
ment and conciliatory counsels, induced
the leaders to forego their designs, and
dissuaded others from assembling;-and
the neighbornood remained peaceful ali
day, as if it had never been the scene o
violence, or ought had ever occurred L
disturb its rural queitude. None bu
men pursuing their ordinary avocation'
were seen in the neighborhood, and the
officers returned at night persuaded tina
there was no danger of further distur
bance. The obnoxious negroes had left
and several parties Of them passed
through the city, on their way to Glib
son county, where there is large settle
ment of blacks, with whom they will
probably take up their residence, AM
dispose Of their lands in this vicinity
Arrangements will be made to purchss
their property in the bottom, and all oc
oasion fer future disturbance will be re
moved.
We are sorry to learn there is littl
chance for Mr.. Maddux's recovery. Hi
wounds are alhof a dangerous nature
and fever aud inflammation have superven
ed, and destroyed all hopes that his lii
can be saved. He received three fright
full cuts from butchers cleaver, and
gun shot in the head. Edmunds wa
also in a more alarming condition las
evening. The lives OF two respectabl
citizens will probably be sacrificed i
this unfortunate affair.

The Knox County Debt Me esing !

An excited meeting Of the citizens of
Knox County Was held at Vincennes on
Saturday. to determine what should be
done in relation to the County debt, and
the Judgment obtained on the coupons
BY the bond holders. A great deal ofin-
dignation was uttered against the bond
holders, and more especially against their
attorney. the Hon. Samuel Judah. who
was condemned in severe terms for his
very sharp practice in the suit in which
the Judgment was obtained, and in his
subsequent proceedings to make the mo-
ney, by = levy on the property of the
County. BY his unfair conduct the in
terest of the County and that Of his Eel
low citizens had been endangered. He
had been the Attorney of the County.
and had hastily forsaken it and gone over
to the bond holders, and betrayed his
former clients-seduced by the prospect
Of . contingent fee Of $4,000. About
$4,000 of these bombs had been bought
by Chas. West, for % cents on the dol
lar, and the other $4,000 had been
pledged Tor $4,000 and forfeited to AS
pinwall for that amount. The present
holders had, therefore, got the bonds
which now amounts, with interest, to
$4,000, for about $4,000. Their at
.orney. Mr.. Judah, was attempting to
coerce and frighten the people into the
payment of these unjust claims, while
an appeal on the suit to the u. s. Su-
prerne Court was pending, with good
prospects that the present judgment
would be set aside. While Judge Ellis
was dealing these heavy blows upon the
head of the sharp attorney, Dir. Judah
approached him and seizng him by the
arm, attempted to pull him from the
stand. Upon this. one Of the people
gave the attorney heavy blow, and a
severe scufile ensued, in which Mr.. Ju-
dab suffered some personal injury. The
meeting was closed with the adoption oil
the following significant resolutions:
Res0lred, That when attorneys are allowed
to betray the interests of their clients with
impunity, courts of justice will b come by
word and reproach, and the case of Samuel
Judah is one that ought not to be passed
without being made an example of.
Realized, That any press reeei wing the pa
tronage o. the people of Knox county, and
opposing its interests, ought to be diseontin-
ned.
No measures were adopted providing
for the payment nor for resisting the
payment of the bonds. The whole affair
