Latest from Kansas.


A message from Fort Scott reached Law
renee on the Sd, giving distressing account
of the outrages on the Free-State men. One
was brought into the fort on the 18th of April,
and sentenced to be shot. Eight ruffians took
him to the timber, and drew lots to see who
should commit the deed. 1t fell on Brockett,
when he deliberately shot him dead, for no
offence but has opinion. Judge Williams had
broken mp the district court, not daring to have
United States soldiers have been found guilty
of joining the Pro-Slavery guerillas to scour
the country at night. Eight eager hordes of
Free-State settlers had left the Little Usage
Valley in one company, in consequence of the
insecurity Of life and property, and nearly all
the settlers there, Of all parties, had left. They
tell horrible tales of their snfsrings. Napoleon,
the settlement of the Vermont Colony, is near
ly deserted. Men sre shot down in cold blood
without provoc alton, and ell the horrors of the
Shannon war are now fek by that distracted
neighborhood. Or the other hand, the. cores
pendent of the St, Louis Republican gives an
account of the pro eedings of Lanes commit.
tee of safety at Fo5 Scott, which ordered Ger.
tain Pro-Slavery nm to leave the territory on
pain of death. q b of the resolutions Of the
be hanged upon tie highest tree in Bourbon
county, and every soldier be put death, wher.
ever he may be fopnd."
Another letter n the Republican says that
the Democrats C. Kansas are to unite with
the conservative, ssti-nigger Free-Soilers, and
kill the Leavenwofh bastard on the 18th inst.
when the people arstov vote uponits acceptance"
He predicts that thu Lesvenworth Constitution
will be Overwhelmingly defeated. This ia not
good authority, but probably the best thing for
Kansas, under pretent circumstances, is to re-
ject the Leavenwor.h as well as the Lecompton
Constitution, and 5main Territory until her
people can settle 6swn into a sober conviction
of what they do wsHt, and then carry it through
in q regular and legitimate manner. The
Leavenworth Constitution has faint of irregu-
lsrity about it, in Consequence of the criminal
deIav of the act authorizing it in the Territor-
al Legislature, vhfyh was too busy and specu-
latiye in town lots, attend to it' appropriate
business.
Money brings high price in Kansas. The
Lawrence Republican,, fears its veracity will be
questioned when L says, "we have seen five,
ten, and fifteen pep cent. per month paid for
money, loaned on good real estate securities |;
and We are reliably informed that some very
conscientious sharss have lately refused to
loan at less than tssenty per cent. per month,
and have even realized that per cent. in some
cases."

HoUSs OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
May Is, 1853.


To the Editor oftAe National Era:
DEAR Sir: In your paper of to-day, / ala
reported e. claiming that Congress had no
right TO keep MINNESOTA out of the Union until
she would conseps to form an Objectionable
Constitution. TheS had no right to pass upoa
the propriety or evsn the decency of her Con.
stitution, in any manner, so long as it was the
expression of the Win of the people,"
The above is so contrary to my sentiments,
and to what said, that l beg leave to ask you
to correct it. By reference to the official rs
port of my remark upon the Minnesota bill, It
will be found that 3 took directly the opposite
of the above position. claimed that the right
to admit new STATE implied the right to reject
or impose conditio.s; that the Constitutions of
new States, if they were fundamentally wrong,
should be rejected, but that the manner of its
formation was impoaterial, if it be not radically
defective, and if il be accepted by the people.
This was but an il cidental point, collateral to
my main argument, but / do not wish my
position upon 80 important question to be
misunderstood.
am, very truly, yours, P. Bliss.
