DIR. Little, known as one of the most radical
and dangerous pro-slavery leaders, in company
with G. w. Clark, the murderer of Barber, resi-
dents of Fort Scott, have been doing all in their
power TO annoy the Free State citizens in that
viLinity. DIR. Little has been acting as Deputy
U. Marshal, and with posse would sally out

the Legislature. In attempting to make arrss

their posse TO 100, and surrounded the free state

several prisoners. Among them is the Rev. Mr..

them. Acting Governor Stsnton has sent
company of 100 dragons as posse comitatus.

Blowing Hot and Blowiag Gold

The Courier and Enquirer thus shows up the
inconsiStences--to uso no harsher ter n--of the
President
There seems to bo some strange fatality attend
ing President Buchanan's outgvngs-so
which is pcrpetually breeding variance between his
doctrines and his acts, between his professions and
his performances. In the honesty of his heart he
gives instructions to Governor Walker, and soon,
in the honesty of his heart he cuts off Governor
Walkers head for carrying out the instructions
He blows brave blast against fbusterism, and
straightway opens the gate for Walker and his FL
lbustering crew to try another bout with Central
America. But what we want particularly to ad-
vert to now is the somewhat grotcsque incongru-
ity between his high pitched diutribe against pa
per currency in his Message aud the paper cur
rency measure he is now in such hot haste pushing
through the Senate 1t was in boastful as well
as thankful vein that the President said to Con.
gress, two weeks ago last Tuesday, Thanks to
the independent treasury, the government has moi
suspended payment, as it was compelled to do by
the failure of the banks in 1887. 1t will CON
tnue to discharge its liabilities to the people il

is the cry of distress, Rags, Rags, or ws die!

lustrates the results upon which the dep'orable
policy of the Federal Administration 10 hurry
ing thy Territory and the country. Whatever
may have been the faults of Gov. Walkers ad-
ministration. it cannot be denied that he at least
preserved peace among the parties previously
hostile nor is there any reason to doubt that
had his advice continued to be followed BY the
Government, the existing tranquility would
have remained undisturbed Bat now that Mr..
Buchanan has undertaken the task of subjecting
the majority of the people to the insolent, vio-
lent, and fraudulent dctation of petty minor
ity, all this is changed, and civil war is again
let loose. Where it will end, unless Congress
should promptly intervene aud give the citizens
of Kansas the most satisfactory assurances that
the will of the majority shall be respected, it is
impossible to say But of one thing we warn
the country, aud that is that this new onslaught
on the principles of democracy the rights OF
the people and the pledges both of the Cincin-

of Pro-Slavery Disunionists, " who are bent ex

In the summer evenings
Whom the wind blew low,
And tho skies were radiant
With the sunset glow.
Thou and l were happy,
Long, long, years ago,
Love the young aud hopeful,
HoYered o'er us twain,
Filled us with sad pleasures
And delicious pain,
Wandering in the lane.
In the winter evenings
When the wild winds roar,
clustering at the chimney,
Piping ut tho door
Thou aud | were happy
As in days of yorc.
Love still hoyess o'or us,
ROBBED with white attire,
Drawing heavenly music
From the earthly Tyre.
