New-York daily tribune., 1858-02-22


scrutable dispensation of Providence and the en-.
lghtened favor of the Irish groggeries Of Buffalo,
with legislator named Laning, who on Friday last
made striking exhibition of his quality by moving
in the Assembly the following preamble aud reso-
lutiOI:
Whereas il has been generally understood that an
organization has existed in this State during the past
two years, secret in its mode OF acton but hayng tor
ts object 10 interfere with and direct the affairs OF
Karsss; and trheredS is believed hatlarge sums OF
money were received and furnished, aud arms sup
piled to iDstigae and maintain rebel0us force IN
said Territory and to keep up disorder and violence
from which has resulted much of the bloOdshed and
continued anarchy which have fallen upon that Ter
rtory; and wkeYe0S, il il violation OF the comfy OF
States and unbecoming the citizens and members OF
the confederacy, well as against the public peace
aud the interest and prosperity of our Union. thus to
interfere BY the Of money or By the instgation of
violence in the affairs OF another State or Territory;
and rbereoS, the Governor in his recent Message has
called upon us Opay particular attention TO the affairs
Of Kansas and the same object has largely occupied
the attention Of the Legislature; therefore,
"Resolre5, That Committee OF five be appointed by
the Speaker TO investigate the truth OF these rumOrs
and toasceran how far the citizens of this State have
been guilty Of completely in these dsgraceiu practices
with power to sscd for persons aud papers.
The apostate Albany Atlas, which in its malg
nifty and bsseness with reference to oil who have.
not emulated its recreaAcy to the cause of Free
Soil affords a striking confirmation of the maxim
that zone renegade is worse than ten Turks"
seconds Mr.. Lsnings motion in the following terms:
1t will be to most to learn that the rebellion
IN Kansas was deliberately cOncOcied IN this State
that a war in Kansas was waged urder the direction
Of leaders in this State who furnished the money for
its prose-, utOn and who morally and IL is to be
hoped legally liable tor the ourages aud murders COM
mtted.' Let there be an investigation. Let the
world know who the men We're who from TBE TRIBCSI
oice, and from the Kansas Committee rooms in New
Ioik, Albany and Buffalo, sent forth directions and
us know how much money employed fer this
purpose. Let an effort be made to bring those en-
gagged IN these nefarious dongs under the wholesome
operation of the criminal law. More ylainous trans
actions, more stupendOus crimes, than those con-
summattd IN 1880, in the name Of bleeding Kansas,
never took place in this State. We it TO the good
name of the Commonwealth, and to the cause Of hon.
esty and justice, to have full investigation"
We have hitherto asked no favors of this Assem-
bly,, nor even Of the Republican minority therein;
but We now ask and insist that this Buffalo libeer
of men whose names he is not worthy to utter be
compelled TO make the investigation he here pre-
t. Dds to de sire. His preamble is tissue of ca1n
MES which he had no business to put forth unless
seem to contemplate. As among those whom bis
aceomplice Of The atlas declares to be specially
med at in his libel, we demand that the inye.ti.
CATION be had, and that il be most thorough. We
demand that all the facts be elected ard that ths
Assembly record it's deliberate judgment thereon.
Let witnesses familiar with the course of events in
Kansas be sworn and examined as to the origin,
progress and responsible authorship Of the disor
der ard violence which have prevailed in Kansas,
as also Of the "bloodshed and continued anarchy"
thence resulting. We can furnish the naues of
few responsible eye-witnesses as to these matters
snd public intimaton that they are wanted will
doubtless call forth many more. When the funds-
mental facts shall have been established the Assem-
bly, can determine-Or at least the People can-by
whom the comfy Of States has beea violated,
snd i" disgraceful practices" have been committed.
We entreat the Republicans in the Assembly to
disregard Mr. Lsnings calumnies, and make him
hurry up his investigation.
