termined to make bold move and crush
out this incipient revolution. We believe
that Walker has been led iafo this move
ment By professed friends of his own party,
who wish 10 get rid of him. We under
stand that Stanton chuekles oyermuch about
this blunder of Walker and on the whole, il
would not be surprising TO find that be was
at the bottom OF Gke whole affair. By this
action the Pro-Slavery men know that with
the Free State party Walker has damned
himself g forever and a day" They be-
iieve that it will be so bitter Rortifica-
ton, that he viii leave the Territory in
disgust. Thereupen they viii have got
hEm out of the way and the cabinet will ap-
point an even more unscrupulous man, to
carry out their behests. So goes the ball,
while We on our side are very busy. Ac-
tive preparations are being made to organ
ize all over the Territory, and by Octo-
Der next we viii show Pro-Slayervism
that it cannot any longer hold power or
obtain another fraudulent election in Kan
Zas.
a Mass Ratification was held in front
OF the Morrow House on the 17th inst.
Much enthusiasm prevailed, and the pro-
ceedings of the Convention were reserved
with great applause. Walkers presence
with the troops IN town, excited much
feeling; and the speeches OF Gov. Robin
son, Gen. Lane, VIM. A. Phillips and
I. D. Thachcr might, for viBa. fire, force,
and stern denunciation have borne com
paFison with the best efforts of the Rev.
ofution
On Thursday evening on receiving King
Walkers proclamation, the people assem-
bled in front of tie Morrow House, and
consulted together. a Committee was ap-
pointed 10 watch events and call another
meeting if ii was necessary. A report went
round town that after noon of Friday
this committee had waited on Walker and
claimed to treat with him as the repre-
senta,ives of the people of Lawrence. Some
Indignation was felt ut such an assumption
and at the meeting in the evening the Com
mittee was refused a hearing for their report.
Last evening meeting was held ami G..
W. Collamore the Chairman read the report
which mainly consisted of statements by
Walker that he had been deceived, DC.
Tie report was received and the Committee
discharged.
An adjourned Railroad Meeting was also
held last evening. Speeches were made by
several gentlemen and steps taken to secure
at as early day as possible the consum-
nation OF the project under discussion.
TIE weather is intensely warm here;
thermometer stood 11O In the shade at
2 P. NJ. yesterday. The warm, dry winds
sweep across the prairies like the blasting
breath OF the simeon, withering up all be-
fore it. The crops look well when the
drought is taken inlo consideration, and ii

youch us a few showers. plentiful harvest
would be universal in Kanzas.

LAWRENCE, July 21st, 1857.


Things remain here in the same state, as
at my last date. The troops are encamped
on tie west side of town. Gov. Walker is
in their midst, and does not seem TO know
what to do. Our people give him no pre-
lext or opportunity OF getting himself out of
the miserable scrape he has got into, and
they doa't intend to-.
Yesterday for the first time since his at
tempted coup de etat, be came into town, and
dined at The Morrow House. He was treat
ed with perfect politeness, as everybody look
ed on him with such utter contempt as not
to cause them to take the trouble to be impo-
liie He looks somewhat seedy and the worse
for wear, and his face has that peculiar bran
dyfed expression known as mad drunk
Dame Rumor, the saucy jade. whispers
round that in this particular, as in that of
political folly, he out IShannoaizes Shannon.
The latter notorious ex- -Gubernatorial genius
is said to have been most gloriously corsaed
since this step of Walkers. in honor of the
fact that The latter has made his Shannon
administration respe table by contrast.
All Lecompton has been in Lawrence
within three days. Sheriff Jones, Calhoun,
Gao and others have been here holding
councils of war (?) with the immortal Pa
ifcator. What tie result VIII be none can
Vet tell. A thousand stories are flying round.
and but very little information can be OBJ
.aineJ l. is thought that Walker will,
about the time of the August election, turn
his troops into tax gathering force or some
thing that will tend to produce confusion
and prevent large vote from being polled.
Tie citizens of Topeka have followed the
example of Lawrence, organized and adopted
similar charter. All the townships con-
tiguous to Topeka are also organizing, and
in most cases have adopted the laws of Ohio
as rule when applicable to their cireum-
stances. We trust their example will be
followed everywhere. and before long the iu-
cubus which has pressed on Kanzas like a
hideous nightmare. will be thrown off and
she stand noble and free IN the majesty of
her sovereignty.
The sale of the Delaware Trust lands
commenced on the 18Th inst, at OsaWkee.
Oa Saturday last, Marcus j. Parrott, the
nominee for Representative to Congress,
II. Miles Moore, Joseph Speer. OF Lawrence,
and Prof. Daniels addressed the people
Gen. Whitfield and the Sheriff attempted to
persuade or bully the Free Stale men from
speaking. However, il was no use, and a
most spirited meeting was held. Mr. Par
rot made an able speech and planted him
self fairly and squarely on the Topeka Con
stitution. Altogether it was telling affair,
and viii materially aid in stifening the backs
of some who need il in that region. So far
as the sale has progressed. but little of the
land has got into the hands of spectators.
The weather is still intensely hot, and Gov.
Walker is keeping cool.

LAWRENCE, July 10Th, 1857.
One of the grandest moral spectacles,
that any age or country ever witnessed, is
to be seen in this city at the present moment.
A people quietly pursuing their regular
avocations, while within their borders is
camped a body of hireling soldiery, called
out by Federal Officer, and marched with
all the paraphernalia of war, against a peace
able and orderly community. For what
has all this parade been made For
what has proclamation been issued, full
minating fire and vengeance? A document
which if issued by military man, would
mean nothing less than that this town was
to be destroyed and It's inhabitants put
''hors du combat" Simply and for no other
reason than that the people of Lawrence,
tired of living without some municipal form
or regulation, and not being willing to rec
ognize by accepting a city charter the
validity of the usurping Territorial Gov
ernment, determined to, and did, organize a
squatter city government. voting upon its
adoption and elecdng officers under its pro-
visions.
Because, forsooth, people do this, they
are insulted AMI injured by the thrust
ing upon them of body of armed men.
Our blood boiled with burning Indignation
when we saw the Dragons forming on
Mass. street and remembered the purpose
for which they came. Oh, Godl how
much longer shall these ihings be sufferel2
For what time is tie proud fame of our ia
theirs and the glory of our country to be in
jured by such outrages and wanton insults
as this? Shall slavery forever thus iyran9
ize? Let Gov. Walker, james Buchanan
aad the numerous tools of the Slave DOW
er, 6e1rdre! They are resting on a vol
cano and the burning lava may at any mo-
ment hurl them 10 ruin. We have suffered
enough and too mach, to allow any more
oppressive acts to quietly pass over Hid
den beneath careless garb, a bitter feeling
pervades the breast of every man in this
el'y, and though no resistance would proba-
bly, be offered 20 prevent the execution of
writs yet ii is possible the arrested woulI
not remain long in the hands of the officers.
Nothing has yet been done and the prob
ability seems to be that nothing viii be
done. Gov Walker would be very glad TO
get out of the political grave which By this
rash act, he has dug for himself. Misled
by false information. (at least that is his
own excuse, that the Organization at Law

Persevering Struggle for Liberty.

The New York Times publishes highly
interesting history of a slaves struggle for
freedom The subject of this history,
whose original name was Tallen, was taken
from Africa by a Spanish SLAYER, vixen only
lwelve years old. The SLAYER was captured
by British brig of war, when Tallen was
sent on board the British brig Peacock TO
serve as 8 cabin boy during the war Of 1919.
When the Peacock WAS sunk by the Amer
ican schooner Hornet, in 1913, Tallen was
sent q prisoner of war, 10 Savannah, Ga,
where party got control of him, forwarded
a report to Washington that he was dead.
and sold him into slavery Afier forty
years ervitude, during which time he pur-
chased his freedom thrice, he at last escaped
