THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY DANGER
OF THE SOUTH

The recent vote of the House Of Representative
in Congress- on Mr. Harris resolution says the Mont
gomery Gazette, is ominols of Danger to the South
A brief rccaptulaton of facts will suffice to show
this. When Mr.. Buchanan's message to the House
sending in the Lecompton Constitution, was read
Mr.. Stephen moved to refer it to the Committee on
Territories. This was voted down. Mr. Hughes then
moved to refer it to Select Committee and Mr.
Harris Democrat from Illinois, moved to amend by
adding that said Committee have power to send for
persons and papers and to investigate the facts con
nectcd with the adoption of the Constitution, and 10
see i ,oas approved By majority Of tie people Of lam
sas One this question yeas and nays were called
for, and resulted in the adoption of the resolution
by ia yeas to Ill nays This reference, with those
instructions, is equivalent to rejection of the Ie-
compton Constitution and postpones action upon it
until the next session of Congress- unless some OF
these ia votes are changed. The motion is based
upon the rejection of the principle of nonintcrven
tion by congress, and an acknowledgement of the
right of Congress to regulate the affairs of Kansas
This point however, we will not argne but proceed
to an analysis of the vote.
There were ffty-one Northern National Democrats in
the House. OF these, heenty-Aree voted with the
Black Republicans against the South Nearly one.
f of Northern allies have deserted us upon the
first movement to gather the fruit of the doctrine Of
non-intervention
In the vote the entire delegation of the Northern
States voted against the South Out of 2 votes from
Ohio, Is voted against us Out of 25 votes from
Pennsylvania II votes went against u.s. and of these
were National Democrats!
We leave our readers to reflect seriously upon these
truly ominous facts

Much ability was displayed by the counsel on both

night. little after twelve the jury retired, and on
returning having occupied no more time than that

Of guilty. Thus have two jurics pronounced upon

LAWRENCE, n. l., Friday, June 4.
Yesterday, at 2o'ciock p. NJ. Lawrence
was mad" The scene of Il most unfortunate
affiay. Gains Jenkins, Il native of Penn
sylvanii, but for several yeals n citizen of
Illinois, and later, one of the earliest set
tiers of Lawrence, was shot dead by Gen
James III. Lane.
| Jenkins was man universally respect
ed. He had been prominent rs Free
STATE man daring Tie troubles of SO,
and was one OF the treason prisoners dur
ing that summer. AT that time he held n
Culonels's commission under Lane. He
ut one time kept the American Hotel in
Kansas City, aud i'll Il time of great dan
ger succeeded in supplying Lawrence with
ammunition from that place. He was
-bloodcd and impctuous, but had tho
respect of all asa brave, kind hearted man.
tie WAS about IS years old, and leaves Il
wife and four children. -t : t s.
HOW THE DIFFICULTY ORIGINATED.
For TWO and a half years Lane and Jen-
k'ns nave been contestants for valuable
claim now within the city limits Of Law
renee, and worth fifteen or twenty chou
sand dollars. The case is very compli-
Gated one, aud is now pending in the Land
Office. IL has produced much bad blood
and many bitter words and threats be-
tween the parties. There are three houses
on the claim. Lane aud his family occu-
ped one-Jenkins and his family the sec
ond-the third was vacant. Lanes resi-
dence IS not more than ten or ii ifteen rods
from that of Jenkins.
THE PRESENT AFFRAv,
Resulted abou' well of water in Lanes
enclosure, near his house.. jenkins had
been In the habit of using water from this
we'll A few days since Lane forbade this.
and locked up the well. jenkins broke
the lock. Yesterday morning one of his
men having previously broken down the
ience ot Lanes enclosure) went for water,
but Lane drove him away. In the after
no III, Jenkins, with two or three friends.
returned, chopped down the fence and en-
tered tho enclosure. Lane (wbo saws he
had previously warned Jenkins that he
would shoot him if he continued TO tres
pass on the premises ordered them off
several times, threatening TO shoot unless
they lef. They still advanced, however,
aud when they were about thirty feet from
Lane, he fired shotgun at Jenkins
The charge of nearly one hundred buck
shot entered his breast, and he fell dcod
One of his companions shot Lane with a
revolver, infictilg a bad wound near the
knee. .-......s .-.... 1854
These are the general facts Of the case,
admitted on both sides. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lane state that when jenkins and his party
approached, he was armed with an ak,
which he held in Il menacing attitude, and
that his companions, 1.-TWO hired men and
nephew, armed with cooked revolvers,

cord, to kick the daddy" of the party in
that State entirely overheard. They at
firmed that Democracy was "erpediency,"
that Douglas had been inexped;eMt, and is,
therefore, no Democrat! The quarrel is
no matter Of ours-they are killing none

that about the time all Douglas Demo
