Dragooned into Submission.
The scheme of Walker & Co, for The pac.
/ ifeafioza of Kanzas, Is at last developed. The
/ master policy of the Administration, with
! the concurrence of Border Ruffianism gen
eraIly. is now being applied, and with q
master hand. The mystery of the move
ment of troops about the country, which
we have noticed at various times, is Row
solved, and the real purpose of the 4,5ao
soldiers, with Harney at their head, who
| have been pouring into the country since
the advent of Gov. Walker, osteRsibly 70,
/ Utah and the Indian service, Is now made
manifest. Lawrence has been invested by
the q. 8. soldiery, and her citizens treated
as outlaws, and threatened with the penalty
of the crime of treasenl and for what? why
forsooth, for swearing allegiance to the Con
stitution of the United States and of the
State of Kanzas. and practising the tunda-
mental principles of the Organic Act of the
| Territory. This IS the head and front OF
| their offending, when reduced to matter
of fact, for in the Institution OF their city
government, they have done nothing more
they coald not have done less. Gov.
Walker has now 81 owed his hand and glad
are we that he has done it thus early, be-
fore he has led astray more of our people
by his specious sophistry and double-deal-
ing. We now know where to find him.
Robert ]. Walker is cur enemy and the
enemy of Kanzas. He is now endeavoring
to throttle the great principle of Popular
Sovereignty, and viii stop at no measure,
however base and despotic, which his south
ein masters require of him, to consummate
his purpose.
Circumstances go to show that this last
step has been resolved upon from the be-
ginning of his administration, under certain
contingencies that it is but the prelude to
another drama of violence, perhaps of blood,
and the action of the people of Lawrence in
this particular instance, Is only seized upon
as the watchword for the onslaught. Else,
why is it that Harney is still retained in
Kanzas, contrary to the ofl-repeated state
ment that his field of service was Utah, for
which he has been, apparently, making
such extensive preparations for the last
two months. Why is it that three thous-
and trC ops are stiIl retained in the Terrific
~, while the adventurous emigrant over
the western plains, is left to pursue his per-
ilous way, with such protection only as his
own strong arm couH give-too often to
become the prey, not to the sayages who
infest his pathway, merely, but rather to the
disgraceful mal-feasance of an adIninistra-
ton whose great aim thus far, has been,
apparently, to extend and sperpetuate the
power of the most Fithering and despotic
of all oligarchies, the Slave Oligarchy of
America. Why is it that the only troops
yet sent or likely ID be sent to the West,
are Col. Sumner and his command, who are
known to sympathize with the people of
Kanzas in their efforts for political liberty.
But these things are of minor importance in
the eyes of Walker when contrasted with
the all important matter OF enforcing bogus
laws in Kanzas, or of controverting the
wishes of the Free State men even in
town associations, which any sane man
must see are essential to the well being of
any community.
But Gov. Walker has taken step in
which he will find it dangerous to proceed
impossible to retreat without a disgrace.
The people of Kanzas are as loyal to the
Constitution and the Union as the people
of any other section of the confederacy. bui
the American uniform must no longer be
used as guise under which to perpetrate
the wrongs which our people have suffered.
with the connivance of the Government for
the past two years. A collision with those
whose duty it is to protect US, we hope may
never come, but should Gov. Walker persist
in his insane policy, such an event would
be choice of evils.
Gov. Walkers vain threat of employing
the power of the General Government for
our suppression, if need be, is entirely gra-
tuitous and falls harmless to the groun1, for
he is well aware, as is every other man of
ordinary discernment, that the first gun
fired upon Us for political offences, heralds
the advance of an army of Freemen~ whose
march shall not be stayed until the bands
are broken which fetter the limbs of the last
slave that shall curse the. soil of America.
If Gov. Walker would again embroil this
country in the deadly feud which he says
has given him so much pain, if he would
still further embitter the feelings of our peo-
Ple towards himself, estrange them from a
government whose only protection thus Ear
has been such as the yulture yields, if he
would involve his own party in certain de-
feat and ruin, and himself in irremeiiable
disgrace, let him pursue the iil-advisel,
despotic project which he has commenced,
and he wiz accomplish all, perhaps more
