Among TIE rest Of The house property owned by
DickeDss Mr. Casby was B.ediue Heat Iacd, "a
troublesome property" as describe by Mr.. Faacks,

If Jeens Buchanan is supposed to be Christopher
Casby, Bleeding Heart Yard must needs be Kansas.
Ard TIE way in which Bleeding Heart Yard was
mansged aud regulated by Casby, through bis aecbt
Panels is lot at all unlike the way in which Kan
cas- is managed by Buchanan. Cssby employed
Pancks, assisted by baihfs when necessary, to COL
ect tpe rents Of Bleeding Heart Yard, not stopping
short at any extremity. Buchanan sends Walker,
backed by an army, to enforce the bogus
laws aud collect the bogus taxes in Kansas.
"Whst must have of BLEEDING Heart Yard,
says Pancks, is my bond l waut my bond, You
:" see. Pay up, OF produce your property. That's
"the watcbword down the Yard" In ore respect,
however, it must be confessed that Que Buchanan
outdoes Dickenss Casby. Casby only wanted his
rents-a little high, perhaps, but rents, neverthc-
less, which the tenants had agreed to pay. He
only waited his bond. Our Benevolent and PATTI.
arcbsl Buchanan wants of the people Of Kansas,
and lie determined TO have it, by military force if
necessary, that which they never promised. He
insists upon e1acling from them a bond forged
in the rame Of the people Of Kansas by counterfeit
ers from Missouri.
Dickeps's description Of Pancks collecting rents
in Bleeding Heart Yard will answer very we'll for
Walker trying 10 force the people of Kansas, by
dint of speeches, procama.ions, threats aud pub
lie meetings, to comply with bis employers de-
