Editorial Correspondence of The NEws-
LAwREScE, Aug. 10th, 81.
+ The Army of Occupation still lies en-
camped near our devoted city. The redoubt-
able Walker is not in camp. but for. several
days past has been at Lecompton directing
1--WE presume) the operations of another
wing of the ".We-8ill-subdue-y you" forces.
The Grand jerry of Douglas county has
been in session during the past week, and
the first fruits of their work were Shown in
the arrest on Saturday last of two Free
State men. It is rumored that true bills
have been found against large number Of
our prominent men, and that writs are
being issued.
The Governors Lecompten Organ of the
9Th inst, contained a two column leader eE-
idently designed for a sensation article,
and bearing evidence of Walkers own pen.
| An elaborate effort is made to prove thai
the Municipal Organization of Lawrenee
and the formation of the Ballot Guards are
but parts of grand conspiracy to over
| throw the Territorial nuisance and set up {
Government las Walker mouths the phrase
in defiance of the Federal authority
Let them make their arrests, they wiH
| find that such iniquitous proceedings oHl7
tend to aid in their punishment. These
men, so miserably in the minority, must In
deed be desperate or insane to resort to the
| old tyrannies when the country is swarm
ing with those whose hearts are filed with
| Indignation and hatred of their crimes =
Whom the gods would destroy they first
make mad.'
The excitement at Leavenworth has sub
| sided. and the city remains quiet. The
land sales are still progressing at osawkee.
Charges of nea!teasaaee having been proved
against Judges Perrin & Stevens, new
court of h-quity has been appointed, OF
which Shannon is Chief Judge. The squat
ters murmur loudly against the whole pro-
ceeding and many of them refuse to resort
to it for settlement of claim disputes.
! A conviction has been growing in the
minds of the people, that participation IN
the October election is perfectly Impossible.
The Grasshopper Falls Convention viii be.
we believe, a stormy one, for certain persons
are determined to carry their own selfish
ends out, but for all we trust that princi-
pie may govern its counsel and wisdom
guide its decisions.
| A convention has been called at Centrop-
oils on the 18th inst, by Brown, Goodin,
Austin d Co. That dealer In Billingsgate
who is supposed to edit the Kanzas Leader.
is one of the movers in this affair, and whai
NAV be the result wished for, we can pre-
Judge BY the course of that l0rogressedLy
Free State paper. AS doubtless there win
be present 'sgood men and true," the Anti
Topeka faction may not find its proceedings
so harmonious as they anticipate.
The Editor of Walkers Lawrence Organ
has got in another fight-we mean paper
one, of course. Finding he could not ham
| die Gov. Robinson, he has attacked Wni-
| A. Phillips on the charge of lying relative
to the statement made by Mr.. Prouty, the
Editor of the Freeman's Champion to him.
We predict that he will soon burn his fin
gers in the contest, and be very glad to
drop Phillips like "hot potato.'' Any
person who reads Mr.. Prouty's statemen!
in the Champion, and that which was pub
lishd in the NeaCs. viii find that they both
mean about one and the same thing Am
| biguity of language does not always cover
up the true meaning of proposition, and
Gusty Windy Brown being unable to dis
prove the essential truth of Phillips state
ment, resorts to the expedient of abusing
him as foreigner and of being 9shostile
to our Constitution &c. The people o.
Kanzas know well who has been truest tc
her in the hour of tribulation and when
the resting place of Mr.. Brown shall b
known only by the words He FAILED,
written thereon, the name of VIM. Phillips
will be honored as one of the truest heroes
and patriots that our prairie-land has known
The Judgment of the People, which Tim,
ever makes impartial, will trace with tn,
finger of scorn the name of the one, and
with letters of living light emblazon th'
other high in the future Pantheon of Kan
