Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-02-09
From Kansas.

The St. Louis Republican, of the 23d ult, contains very interesting letter from Kansas, from which we extract the following para graphs:
 We hear of wars and rumors of wars almost hourly, from other quarters, but we know that three-f fourths are manufactured by worthless, bankrupt politicians.
 True. that at Leavenworth City they have had some difficulties and considerable excite ment prevails there, but that is easily accounted for by those we'll acquainted with the facts There the republicans have large majority, and unfortunately large proportion of them are of the Laneite stock, and they can only expect to live by reviving the scenes Of last year. There, it is that Lane goes to deliver his chaste and patriotic speeches; and there, it is that he is cheered and lauded to the skies; and these things being true, what else could be expected in such a community but riots and rows.
 There, the free State men of Atchison are denounced because they are unwilling for Lane to come here and repeat the disgusting har- angues he belches forth at Leavenworth. ln Atchson there are no hostile feelings between pro slavery men and free State men. They differ about the economy of slavery, but they quietly and peaceably discuss the natter Aboitionists and negro equalityists are alike despised by both parties.
 We are all anxious, as matter of course, to see what will be done in Congress in regard to our constitution, but whether admitted, with or without further submission, we are not for civil war. We think we ought to come in at once without any more trouble, and if the peo- pie are honestly ill favor of slave State, they can easily change 1t. But the Black republ- ! cans do not desire the controversy ended, and they do not feel very certain that they have the numbers to change it. There may be major ity of free State men, but it does not follow, as matter of course, that they are all black re- publicans, but on the contrary there are bun- dreds of free State men in Kansas who would greatly prefer seeing Kansas slave State than black republican State.
 You need not give credit to one-fourth of the tales you hear about outrages in Kansas. Let | a few hundred reckless scoundrels in your city, band themselves together to steal, rob and mur- der, and see how long it will take the commit nity to put them down by due process of the | law. Just so it is in Kansas. Lane, with several l hundred men under him, stationed at different l points, Is enabled, with the aid he gets from ignorant fanatics, to prowl around and keep uI strife. But his days are numbered. kalsas whether free or slave State will soon dispose | or all Sucu HeU io idoI lAiiiho ut with men who desire to cultivate the rich and fertile soil, and they will not long permit them- selves to be disturbed by worthless demago- | gues.
 The town of Atchison and the county arc rapidly improving, aud this is one cause of the hostility manifested by some neighboring points winch have been settled by l.aneltes with { view of breaking down Atchison. Their effort: will all be in vain. The free State and pro- slavery men here understand these movements and have too much sense and self respect, tc fall out among themselves, merely because worthless scoundrels desire it.
