vering efforts for the final triumph OF
Freedom in Kansas.
The Lawrence Herald of Freedom
which has oflate been exceedingly friend
ly to Gov. Walker, held the following
language in an extra containing Gov
Walkers proclamation
ave regret this act on the part of Gov
Walker, as its tendency is to intiame the
people at the time when all parties should /
be laboring to perpetuate the era OF peace
We have no sympathy with the indePen-
dent city organization, as we indicated
in our last number, and greatly regretted
it, as we were apprehensive it would
bring upon US just what is rapidly ap-
preaching. While we take exceptions
to that movement, we must also take ex-
ceptions to Gov. Walker bringing the
military to Lawrence. If he had legal
processes to serve, they should have been
served by the United States authorities,
and no man in Lawrence or out OF 1t
would have resisted it. Our people-all
of them, the extremists included-knoW
too well that Uncle Sans authority is not
to be resisted with impunify.
Gov. Walker may send the troops here
and may arrest those connected with the
organization ofthe city government. This
is all he can accomplish. There will be
no resistance; hence no bloodshed. Mat
tiers will move on quietly, and the agi-
tators on either side will not be able to get
up serious collisions.
We hope that Gov. Walker will not
allow bad counsels to govern him in this
crisis. He is surrounded by men who
desire to drive our men into extreme
measures but we are conscious that the
Free State party is occupying high van
tage ground, and we shall not be driven
from it by sustaining extreme measures,
on the other hand, or resisting federal
authority on the other. The policy Of
our people, and the administration Of
Gov. Walker, as Swallowed in his speech
: at Topeka, the first to preserve the quie
of the Territory, "peaceably if we can
but at all events to preserve the genera
quiet;" secondly, for the people to sc
e the Territorial government into thei
own hands, and administer it for the bene
e fit of the actual residents, is IDENTICAL
: This being the case, it is the interest c
e Gov. Walker as well as the people, t
keep all agitating questions out of sigh
S and avoid every movement which tend
Is to accerbation on either hand. The bring
J. ing of troops to Lawrence cannot be view
- ed in any other light than movement
ot overawe and intimidate the people, and
Is induce them to acquiesce in the plans
m the Governor. He may succeed in col
of vincing the South that he is true to b
d, first love, but he cannot succeed in su
of jugating the people of Lawrence or of Il
of Territory"
I'd The Herald Of Freedom of the 18
e. inst, gives the following information
he regard to the crops:
"In a recent trip to the southeast pa
n Of the Territory, we were pleased to lea
,at from all quarters that the wheat crop W
er uncommonly heavy. 1t has been hi
u vested about two Weaks, in the bord
al counties of Missouri. The harvest h
,Ie been abundant, and the best ever know
hts Sod wheat, sown earlyin September, a
NV well put in, is estimated to yield FRI
m twenty to thirty bushels to the acre.
Spring wheat, which was sown in CT
ate siderable quantities in this direction, is
Or the best quality. Oats have a lal
on, growth, and are abundant. The CT
be crops are very promising. The raj
which fell very abundantly in June, hs
ov- kept the growing crops in thriving c.
the dition. Potatoes look well. Grass
all a fine growth, and will yield a hes
Au- harvest. Vegetables are not suffer
with drouth, as in the vicinity of L;
pm renee"
