Especial Correspondence Of the Chi. Trib.)

WASHINGTON, May 10.
It is stated this afternoon that Weir
has been removed a District Attorney
Of Kansas. The new appointee is proba-
Div Mr.. Isaacs, who has been assistant to
Weir, and who has been generally rcgar-
ded a. the willing and sealous tool Of the
slavery propagandists. lie has always
been spok IN Of as Calhoun's colleague in
the canvass for the United States Senate.
The District Attorney forms the third
member of the Executive Board for man
aging the election in Kansas under the |
English bill. The removal of Weir has
been certain since tue passage Of that
measure, because he declared himself a
friend and co-laborer with Douglas. 1t is
reported that hc WIS distinctly Informed
before he left for Kansas, which was last
week, that unless he pledged himself to
carry out the instructions and policy of
the Administration with reference t. the
coming election, he would be removed
He did not give Il e required guarantee,
and il removed or is to be.
I am almost tired OF warning our Free
State friends in Kansas and throughout
the North that the approaching e'e ton
in the Territory is to be the very Tier
mopyI.e of Liberty. 1t is to be no holt
day affair, no joust between h honorable and
! high minded adyersaris but the Gu min
alton of Border Ruff violence, fraud,
and outragc--that follows from the very
circumstances of the struggle and the ex.
press terms of the law. There has not
been day since the 30th of May, 1854,
when the pro-slavery party was more IN
tent upon securing Kansas than it is now.
There has been no time when greater sac
rifces and laburers were demanded for the
Free State cause.
The apparent moderation of Denver
cannot be relied upon. He has had, up
to this period. no motive for an extreme
course. nor, indeed, Las he had the pow
err But the execution OF the act is re-
served for the recess of Congress. It's re-
s.rainng influence has been felt since
the removal Of Walker and Stanton. In
few weeks the innate tyranny and vie
iousness of the Administration will rage
without a check Again and again our
friends should be warned to meet violence
with force. and to meet cheating with
prompt and severe punishment. There
is no use Of vast numerical majority; if
: it cannot defend itself, either at the polls
in the courts or in the field, against a
contemplate local faction, and its foreign
, allies.
1t is evident that the approaching con-
test in Kansas is to be the most exciting,
as also the most momentous, which has
ever taken place under this Government
! Both sections and all parties of the ua,
/ ion, as represented in Congress, have at
last consented to refer to the people Of
Kansas the question which has distracted
, the whole country for nearly half Il cen.
tury. Though decided by other and
