LAWRENCE. X. t., July 81, 1857.
The FIRE and birthstone have not yet descended
Cd this LII, dern SodOm. With delicate perception
of The meIcful, not at all in accordance with his
pI proclamation and warlibe position, Gov. Walker
keeps "dontng." The Governor came to stop
the charter" and he has not yet got a tangible
point to take hold by. The water cart which lays
tbr dust indeed perambulates the streets, but the
money to defray the expense Of the same has been
Iaised by subscription. The propriety of blowing
hole through it with six-pounder is, perhaps,
debatable. SuDdry persODsges, whom Gov Walker
wculd deny to act under authority, have been re-
uOv,pg one or two dead horses, or cattle, which
paid the debt of nature within the city limits with
cut getting a receipt. The high handed outrage
which such a removal of offensive carcasses must
hive been to tue Gubernatorial proclamation has not
vet been followed by any drama Of hanging aud

II il, indeed, lamcntable fact that treason

the City Fathers were sitting in grave debate on he

Guilty e1tnguished. This high-handed rebellion Of
the elect of Lawrence is more distressing since
Gov " alker had minated to somebody that the
Council would not dare to meet. The men Of Law
renee have seen proclamation before they have
very sublime contempt Cor Government not
rec, gnized by the people. They are too shrewd to
have any collision with the bogus Government, but
they deriSively say "drive on your cart"
What a strange, unwhippable, undrivabe, III.

Government Of Dragons and cannon and prOcama-
tiuns and warrants an0 Governors only excites the
hostility before which all these things are imbecile
The people Of Lawrence already love their City
Charter rs they would not have loved it if reg-

rights. Gov. Walker may enter to-day some

full to him. If such be the case, your correspond.
tDts chances Of official notice considerably above
average. In such an even. my next may be :" A
"Vuce from the State Prison Of Kansas" What
will Gov Walker gain by arresting one set of men
The people will elect another tomorrow Arrest
these, and another morrow will bring another set
another and another. The people of Lawrence
knew their rights under the Constitution. They
know the magnitude Of the interests at stake, and
are prepared for political or personal maryrdom if
necessary.
But let Gov Walker be very careful how he acts
He threatens to throw the prominent leading men in
prison He forgets that il is the prudence of these
very men which alone prevents present hOstltles.
He has acted in an outrageous and insane manner
and love Of the "UniOn" and the peace OF the
country" have weighed as feather in the balance
| lie very men be dtnOunces now stand with calm
courage and judgment in the breach his folly has
made, and are determined if possible, tO preserve the
peace he has so rashly jeoPaIded Let him throw
| them in prison. Let him nflame the public mind
by threatening these men with execution, and
stern will rage such as never before confronted
W, uld.be Nero or Tarluin. 1t cannot be disguised
there Is danger. Gov. Walker is devoid of dis.
cretion, He feels that his rashness has eoparded
hi. political prospects, His political pathway is II
ruin before him. He will do something desperate,
fear in all absurd effort to retrieve. What worse
lille in town yesterday he had all the appearance
of having been drinking. He was treated with dis
respect in so far as not to receive attention. His

with him, aud evidently under strong Influence OF
fear. "a.
