zens Of this pl ce, and made a speech infor
ming them thathis "procliyities" were south
ern, and that he WAS IN favor of making Kan
sas a slave state; also, that the bogus laws
must be enforced, and that they would u4r
the Dragons Of the U. 5. Government for
tina: purpose. The citizens replied smultans
ously that Mr.. Stanton, and all the dragons
that cou.d be sent to Kansas, could not en-
force the laws in Kansas, made by Misslu
ans. Judge Smith, OF Penn, one Of the seven
prisoners whom the mob arrested for treason,

Stanton, saying, that the free state men were
able to defend their rights, auI would do SO.
if it was necessary for them to meet e. s
dragons, border rutfians, Georgia red shirts
and the Palmetto chivalry. Governor Robin

AIRY elections in England, the women seem to
have been unusually active. Lady John Rus
sell contributed much 10 her husbands re-elec

with her smiles and courtesies among the elec
tors. Lady Mildred Hope is believed to have
carried the election of her husband for Maid
stone. She did not exactly canvass for him,
but all through the election she was con-
stantly driving about the town she also was
most active al the nomination AMI during the
polling; and at the close unable to restrain her
self any longer she threw up the window of her
hotel, and addressed the mob in a speech which
everybody agreed was better than her husbands,
delivered Immediately afterwarl from the same
