Four of these Mise curtains have been arrested for
false voting. Judge Lecompie has irsued a writ
of habeas corpus for their release. SUme oil our
boys have taken possession Of lie ferry boat, ana
will not permit the MissUurians to return 10 'heir

What n mnckery Of true democracy III! Some OF
our citizens went in a body and took possession OF

the murder Of Phillips, 10y this same rufian Miller.
With these they have been p~araiing the streets

merchants. Loud and hearty cheers we're given
and returned by the citizens and soldiers. The
most inteuse excitement prevails.

LAWRENCE. X. I. Dec,

LAWRENCE. X. I. Dec, IS, 1857.
MY DEAR MAaIUs: / receive your paper regu
1arly with much interest. / am glad to sec the
people are wide awake on Kansas matters
There are tut few persons in the States who COM
,prehend our position and our condition. The
newspaper correspondents are generally young
and impulsive ncn who write from imperfect infor-
nation, and in thei- zeal. do some harm AS well IA
sumo good. For instance, n letter in the Chic 90
Tribune, just received here. states that q commit
tee appointed by a Free State Convention to see
Gov. Walker. and request him to call an extra
session of the Legislature. found him drunk &c.
This is false. The Governor is not in the habit
Of drinking too much.
Your old friend augustus Watties was one Of
the appt intcd by the Convention at
Lawrence to visit his Exceliency. He went to
Leavenworth in company with Rev. G. W. Hutch.
insoa and held a long interview with the Govern.
or. ] saw him Immediately after his return, and
I also heard his report. No allusion was made a.
che time to his having drank too much; and it was
not till after several weeks when letters began to
return from the East. that such a thing was thought
Of. No man who associates with Gov. Walker,
has ever seen him drunk in Kansas, to my knowl.
edge. These charges are made against him for
political effect. They are unjust and crnel in the
extreme.
Walker ia an earnest and sincere advocate of
Sqnatter Sovereignty and popular rights. lie
afhrms, that with him democracy is a living prin.
cipls.
The Inauguration of the Free State Legislature
at ~Lecompton on tho 7th inst, was a splendid
affair. Acting Gov. Stanton called an extra ses.
to meet the emergency. The call. fell like a
bomb-shell amongst our enemies. They had in

METHODIST ANTI.sLAvERY CONvEN
.. TiUN.

An important Methodist Amt. Slavery Conven.
tion was held in St. Johns Church, Rochester,
during the week preceding Christmas. The OBJ
ject OF the Convention is to inaugura,e measures to
rid the church Of all connection with slavery to
withdraw all support from the system. To for
ward This glorious object. a motion was made to
call u general delegated convention Of the entire
church previous to the the Annual Conferences
preceding the General Conference which resulted
in the following resolution:
Resolved, That It is the sense Of this Conven.
ton that a General Auti.Slayery Convention shall
be held about the 18th day of December, 1858, ut
-; com posed Of delegates from all the An
nual Conferences of the NJ. +. Church 10 the con-
nection, upon the present bases Ut representation
for the General Conference.
A spirited discussion sprung up, on the question
Of a lay delegation. The chairman said that the
preachers needed the efficient support Of the laity,
or nothing would 10 done. Admit them, and the
fresh force Of the earnest fr ends of the Church
and the abrcgatlon OF Slavery, will enter the field
like Blucher's columns at Waterloo, and slavery
will bite the dust. On this suljet it was
Resolved, That the said Convention shall consist
Of 81 many ministerial delegates as each confer
cnce is entitled to in the General Conference. and
an equal number of laymen; TO be appointed
in such manner rs those members OF the several
Annual Conferences in favor Of extirpatory legis-
latiun in 1850, shall in Convention determine.
A COM ittee was appointed to prepare an ad-
dress embodyiug the principles of their platform.
At the evening session Of the last day Of the
Convention, tbs following resolutions wers agreed
l. Approving Of the course taken by Rev. DR..
Whiden. editor Of the NJ. E. Quarterly Review.
at New York, and p~ledging to make up all loss To

ry charac,er-lhat the anti slavery Me,hodists will
not be cuntent with cautious and soft ~disapproy
al Of slavery, much l,ss with entire silence upon
the subject"
The Convention closed by singing
"wan, wait, ye winds, tho story"
a beuedictioR and II resolution, that "the citizens
present tender tn the delegates, their thanks for
kindling here the fires of Smi,hfeld', which shall

as a nation hope to escape curses dark and fearful.

If we still persist in disobeying the calls Of down.

And can we of the North still our conscience by
saying that 1--WE have no right to NEEDLE with sla'
