Geo. Banorofts Letter.

NEW I DIRK, Feb. Is.
The speech which Hon. Geo. Bancroft
was to have delivered to the anti-Le-
compton meeting, had it been held on
Friday evening, was published this
morning. He holds that the Lecompton
Convention, had no claim to the sove-
reignty in Kansas but byusurpation; that
1t had in no wise the sanction of Con-
gress, nor of the President, nor of the
people of Kansas, and was but cum
ming device TO defrand the people of its
sovereignty. Mr.. Bancroft exposes the
various frauds comnittedsin the cleo
tions in Kansas; denies that the Union
is in any danger, says that there is no
instruction or rebellion in Kansas: as
serts that the supporters of the Lecomp-
ton constitution have not one inch of
democratic ground to stand on; saws
there is no precedent for enforcing a
constitution against the will of the peo-
Dle.

IMPORTANT TRIAL AT RocKFoRp-l
The Rockford papers have very full re-
ports of the trial of Ex-Gov. William
Bebb, for Manslaughter in that city. On
the night of the 10th of May last, on the
occasion Of the marriage of Gov. Bebb's
son, party of some twenty persons,
surrounded the honse and commenced
hiring guns, and making hideous noises
generally, and going through with the
usual programme of a Charavari. Gov.
bebb went out and ordered them off.
and hred at them, gun loaded with
shot, by which one of the rioters was
Killed. Eminent counselwerc employed
on both sides. Hon. Thomas Corwin
OF ONO, being one of the Defendants
Counsel.
The trial was one of unusual interest,
both from the high standing of the &C.
cused, and the circumstances Of the
killing. The Jury were out about four
hours when they returned verdict of
not guilty.
The Register, appends to its report
OF the trial the following remarks, which
all sensible persons will fully endorse.
We cannot close this report without
saying word of approval of the verdict.
we think 1t a most righteous one; not
that we advocate the taking of life by
aggrieved parties, but in such cases as
this 1t is almost the only means of pro-
lection against outrage and insult
Charivaries in this neighborhood, and
indeed in all others, are far worse than
ordinary riots, because they are general.
| ly got up under he disguise of friend
ship, and are made an excuse for every
description of lawlessness and outrage
Ours and the adjoining Counties have
been the scene Of too many of them, and
we shall rejoice if the action of Gov.
Bebb has the effect of putting stop to
them. From the evidence it will be seen
the defense established three important
facts: l. That the guns of the party
were fired pointing towards the house.
y. That the rioters were making a rush
on the Governor when he fired the sec.
ond shot, and 8. That the Governor re-
lpeatedly and in a loud voice, ordered
| the rioters of, before and after firing the
| first shot.
| The trial was conducted on both sides
with great ability, the Prosecution evin-
cling proper energy without any ran
corous zeal, while Judge Miller and Mr..
Loop rendered efficient aid in the selec-
ton of jury and the examination of
witnesses. OF Gov. Corwin and Judge
Johnston it is needless to say a word /;
their reputation is national, and any
praise we might bestow could not add
Ito it.

Mr.. Warren said that if Mr.. Howard
lnslnuated that men on the Democratic
side were influenced by cowardice, hope
or fear, he was much mistaken; neither
the executive or others could influence
them. He was on the track of dis

him he would expel lin; if gentlemen
wanted to attack Democrats they would
be met, but the Democrats don't want
to stab under the ribs.

corruption. He referred to the fact that

gB How any Northern man, whether
Republican or Democrat, can uphold the
administration in its course on Kansas
matters, in face of the Developments of
fraud and villainies, that are constantly
being made, is more than we imagine.
The investigation Of election frauds by
the Legislature, show that there were
thtrty-taco voters in the OK ford District
from which eighteen hundred votes were
returned. The Kickapoo vote was GER
tilted by the judges as 4s; somebody
added five to the figures, and returned
the vote as 54a. This is but sample
of the way in which the returns gener-
ally were made, and yet there are men
in the North pretending to be treemen,
so lost to every feeling of manhood that
they see those things, and find nothing
in them to condemn.
