Then you and l. continued Mr.. Stan
ION, growing much excited and looking
very pale, 'are at war upon this point
but l shall spin every drop of blood in
my body but what the laws shall be en-
forced
Cant do it, old fellow Like to see
you try;' Go on and Pitch in re-

Henceforth,' said the speaker, we
understand each other, and there will be
war to the knife unless you come under
Come on, then, said an old man,
drawing his knife, if you want to try
that game
Il did not come armed resumed Mr..
Stanton, and I have neither a revolver
mr. bowie knife about me-nothing but
this Showing a small penknife,) for /
thought my life would not be endangered
in Lawrence. Cries of 'Bahp 90

he useless for you to attempt to resist the
authorities, for you will not be fighting
with the Missourians nor the Border
Rpfans, but with the mighty and ire
yshbe Federal Government itself. Yes,
The United States forces will compel you
to succumb.''
Great excitement ensued hereupon-
the audience Kissing, laughing and ex-
claiming, Come on with the troops >

Gov. Robinson at last came forward
begged his hearers to let Mr.. Stanton
proceed, and to answer him when he fin
shed.
Mr.. Stanton, having cooled down a lit
lie, in recommending asked his hearers
if they would pay taxes to the Terrific
rial bogus officers.
'NeverP they replied. No bogus
officers shah come about US. We will pay
taxes to the United States officers, and tc
no one else.
Mr.. Stanton then urged the Free State
men to vote for delegates to the Consti
tutional Convention.
No list has been taken,' said one O
the audience, and therefore we are no
qualified electors
Mr.. StantOn-Go to the Probate Judg,
and get your names inserted.
Free State Speaker-We have NJ
Probate Judge to go to. Now what d.
you advise US TO do?
Mr.. Stanton-I don't know; you ar
queer SET, and I can't understand you.
MIR. Stanton continued his speech, treat
ing of general topics, and finally close,
by reading passage from Hiawatha, il
which the Indians are exhorted to wasl
the war paint from their faces, an,
smoke the pipe of peace.
The address was most unfortunat
production from beginning to end, an
has lost Mr.. Stanton the respect and re
gard Of all Free State men. It was i'll
calculated to harmonise political differ
tnces, and, on the contrary, has excited
degree of bitter animosity against hin
personally embittered the people of Law
renee against the National Administrs
ton, and prejudiced their minds fearful
against the new Governor. The either
feel as if the old policy of Pierce ws
about to be inaugurated anew, and the
areresolved on taking up arms befol
submitting to the infamous thraldom th,
Secretary Stanton threatens to impo;
upon them. I very much fear that l
will prove another Woodson, and tn
Buchanan will turn out even worse tha
Pierce.
Gov. Walker had better hurry out
Kansas. Mr.. Stanton is playing IL
devil generally, and, if allowed to ru
Tor the few months, would be sure to g
up another civil war. / don't know b.
what Walker desires this, but / want
see him show his hand and speak f
HIMSELF Stanton stock is away belo
par, and no power on earth can raise it.
