Latest from Lawrence.

Our latest advices from Lawrence
inform us that Gov. Walker had ar
rived there with about $50 U. S.
Troops and were encamped near the
city. The people appear to treat the
matter with cool indifference, and in
deed regard 1t as q burlesque. Paro-
dies ON his ukasc, appealing to the
people to refrain from removing the
carcasses of dead horses, cats, dogs
and tadpoles, for fear the example
may he initiated by other towns, and
thereby overthrow the Territorial
Government, have made their ap-
pearance. His august Majesty is in
great predicament. His position is
very similar to that Of certain Bor-
der Ruffian whom we met in 81. Louis
last fall, who started to come Kanzas
in Buford's "chivalric" company, but
who deserted before he reached here.
Says he, 81 felt as if I was in q d---d
queer fix. | was in a quandary
whether | had better 60 to Kanzas
and be called an ass and fool by my
friends for venturing into such an ex-
pedition and getting thrashed, which
l knew we would be, or to funk, and
for that be called coward by them,
However, as we'll as considering dis
cretion the better part of valor, | used
with it little common sense, and SO
| mosied" The Governor begins to
manifest a disposition to "mosse. -
He says he has been miSintormsd about
the mattepl Ha Hal ..H
We have the best assurance tina,
the people of Lawrence will moi
shrink one title from the position
they have taken. Stick to it! You
are men. If the Pacifcator, or any
one else attempt to molest you in
your private affairs, and you are in
want Of assistanceto aid you in keep
ing them aloof, call on Prairie Cit,
and you willimmediately havea at your
service two hundred more men.

Reaction in the Sugar Market.

1t is said that the effort of the spec
ulators to raise the price of sugar to
exorbitant rates is about to react.
The increased prices have brought
large Supplies--no less than fifty-four
vessels having arrived in New York
since the first of June with entire
cargoes of sugar and molasses, and
immense amounts are now held on
speculation, which sooner or later
must come into market. In Portland,
recently, large amounts Of sugar and
twenty-five hundred hogsheads of mo,
lasseS had been received,
The market in New York and Bos-
ton is inactive; buyers will pay the
prices which holders demand. ".

The Election in August.

On the first Monday in August is
to be held in every voting precinct
in the Territory, an election for State
officers, for Delegates to Congress,
and also to vote on the Topeka
Constitution. This election is of
vital importance to us. 1t behooves
us to use every exertion to swell the
vote on this constitution to as large a
number as possible, and we trust that
the people Of every voting precinct
in the Fourth District will thoroughly
organize and complete arrangements
to secure every voter.
The places for voting in this dis
trict arc Prairie City, Centropolis,
Peoria, Stanton, Omro, Aliens,
Grants, and Grceley's. H.u
Let this fact be remembered, and
let the people of these places take i'm
mediate measures to procure tickets

A Melancholy but Deserving Sell.

Two men were run over by train,
of cars on the Harrisburgh and
Lancaster railroad, near Highspire,.
Pa, on the Sd inst, and both killed.
A large amount of bank notes wore
found on their persons, and they were
supposed by the people of Highspirc
to be men of property, and they went
to considerable expense in getting
handsome coffins, DC. The bank
bills found upon their persons proved
to be all counterfeits, and it has since
been discovered that the deceased
were the leaders of band of count
crfeiters and burglars. Itis believed
they committed a robbery in Middle
ton the very night before they were
killed, So the people who supposed
they had been worshipping Mammon,
were doservedly sold by the soulless
carcasses Of two thieves.

A new Anglo Bengalee Disinterested Life and
Trust Company has lately exploded in London.
One would think thst there must be no end to the
loose cash of the British capital, 30 easily does il
flow into any scheme that promises larger return
than "the beautiful simplicity Of the Three per
Cents" The old cautiousness Of John Bull as to
his investments, and his preference for small
and sure returns over more specious but less
certain speeulations seems to have disappeared.
In spite Of al the warnings he has had, he appears
to be as ready a. ever TO fall a victim to any
plausible Tgg Montague that angles for him wi ii
bait of ten per cent. The name of this latest
specimen Of the British wild cat seems to have
been taken from Mr.. Montasucs Incorporation, as
it was called the London and Eastern Banking
Corporation. 1t bad an Eastern Branch in the
city, Western Branch in Pail Mall, Hyde Park
Branch near that spirscle of London, and beside
these branches in Calcutta and Bombay. This
certainly afforded ample room and verge enough
for flying the very tallest kind of kites wit, the
very longest hobs to their tails. And the oppor.
turity does not seem to have been lost
The Company was formed in 1854 with nominal
capital Of f5OO, 600, Of which one-haf was actually
paid in By the eager subscribers. The Chairman
of the Board Of Directors was the Hon. John Cad.
wallsder Erskine grandson Of the great Lord Ers-
kline, and son Of the late Lord, who was English
Minister al Washington about fifty years ago, at
which time he married the daughter of Gen Cad.
walisder of Philadelphia. Mr.. Erskine is also heir
pre,umptive to his brother, the present peer, and
has been employed in the civil service in India,
which perhaps accounts for the BeDssles portion Of
the milk Of this cocosnut. Mr.. John Edward Ste

We have not been disposed to complain OF the
underhand Influences which were brought to bear
upon the Republicans of our State at the recent
Election. Knowing that there are at heart but two
parties throughout the Free States-the one resist-
ing the other favoring under color OF indiersnce)
the Extension of Slavery, We rjOice at every
movement v hich tends to make this truth clearer,
and remove al obstacles to iss perception By the
general mind. Hence, We do not regret that the
Pro-slavery " Americans" stole q march on their
Anti Slavery brethren last week, and threw our
State into the hands Of the Sham Democracy.
They owed US nothing, and their maneuzer did not
even di,sppoint rs. We knew that, in the nature
Of things it must come to this in the end; and We
are glad to see the step taken now, when ouly State
interests and State ascendancy could be affected
byit.

re.ult in that (Clinton) county, says:
We stated before he election that as 'ssp-' n
