Government, and FOR what because they preferred
Freedom to Slavery. For three years the people OF
this Territory have petitionsd and demonstrated for

con,empble rascal than ever Jeffreys was. Walker
il but political tickster, sent here TO revive the
~itated rsrks of the Pro-Savery party. He has
qualtered the army OF the United Stats around
Lawrence for TO other purpose than to convey the
idea in the East and South, that Lawrence Is rebel
Ecus ard insuIreciiOpary," aud that the only real
rufiaps belorg in the Free.State patty
Cannon of sufficient size to crumbls the cadels OF
Russia, and OF mere bodily cahber thln the Governor

alike to regard him with profound contempt. The
Governor hurried into the editor sanctum for the pur-
pose of holding close communion and fellowship with
his sympatbzipg friend in secret, but alas Brown
had gone to Lecompton on the same mesion. Un-
fortunately for BOTH and for tunaely for the people,

return Just as foolish. Not word passed between
