All Free State

1t is stated in Eastern journals as an ex-
cuse for the outrages of Montgomery and
Brown, that nearly all the officers in
Bourbon county are Pro- Slavery men !;
and that they were oppressive in their acts
towards the Free State settlers. Mr.. DAN
FORD, on the floor of the House, the other
day, speaking of those troubles, said he
was personally acquainted all over that
county, and he did not know of Pro-
Slavery Office holder there. Indeed"
said he, "from the best information in my
possession, 1 do not believe that single
officer in that county is a Pro- Slavery
man." Appealing to T. R. ROBERTS, Esq,
a Republican Representative in the Legis-
lature from Fort Scott, and formerly the
Sheriff of that county, he inquired if he
knew of one, to which interrogatory Mr.
RoBERTs responded: mot one"

Old JOIN BRowN published letter in
his organ last week in which he states
tina. he led Company into Missouri
short time since, to "forcibly liberate five
slaves, together with other slaves" and
succeeded in taking some property and
two white men. The other party, prob
ably headed by Montgomery, he says,
"freed one female slave, took some pro-
perry, and as I am informed, killed one
white man, Qhe mastery who fought
against the liberation" Here is the re-
cord, made up by BrO'0n himself over his
own signature, and published with appa-
rent appreciation.
If the people of Missouri should raise
an army and march over into Linn coun-
ty, and wipe the perpetrators of those
wrongs from existence, all of US would
join in denouncing the outrage, and yet
such transactions as those Brown rejoices
over, are inaugurating a state of things
which can only be seen through river of
blood. The President of the United States
offers reward of $3.50 each for the appre-
hension of Brown and Montgomery. 1t
should have been one thousand dollars /;
and VIC shall be disappointed if the Gov
ernor Of Missouri does not increase the
reward to that amount. Brown should
be arrested and set to work on the public
improvements at Jefferson City, Mo-, I'M
til he is restored to reason, and unless we
mistake, such will be the case, unless he
hangs for murder, as his own confession
shows that he was guilty of it. Every
death resulting by another while engaged
in the commission of an unlawful act
though strictly defensive at the moment
of the death, is murder, and as Brown
headed the party, he and all persons con-
nected with the expedition are alike &C.

The Troubles in Kansas.
ST. Lou1s ian

OF. LOUIS, Jan. ..
It is reported that the Governor Of
Missouri has made a requisition upon the
Governor of Kansas for Capt. Montgom-
cry, charged with the murder of several
MlFsourians. 1t is feared that compli-
ance with the requisition will create q
civil Walk.
Instead of creating civil war, the arrest
and imprisonment of Brown and Mont
gomery would be the most popular move
which the people of Missouri could en-
gage in. Save the mercenaries engaged
with him in robbing, and murder, there
is nolO but one voice in Kansas in regard
to these men. They are outlaws, and as
such, they must be punished, and as Mis-
souri, has good prison, we would prefer
that Missouri give them employment the
balance of their days.

LEAvENwoRTH, Jan. 16, 1859.
G. W. Brown, Eso.-DEAR SIR Our
citizens have been greatly excited within
the past few days, occasioned by the kid
mapping of very worthy colored man
named Charles Fisher. Fisher was en-
ployed as barber at the Planters Hotel
and is said to be very polite and obligins
to his customers.
At late hour last Friday night, off,
GERS Harrison and Campbell succeeded in
obtaining access to his shop, by means of
ladder, and securely hand cutting him,
carried him safely across the river to the
Island. The whole party stopped for the
night, and at about five o'clock Saturday
morning CHARLEY excused himself from
his sleeping companions, walked to the
river bank, got into skiff and started for
this side of Jordon, which he reached af-
ter hard pull, landing some three miles
below town friend, on seeing him, pro-
cured file and releaved him of bis man.
acles.
Charley says he is free man, has al
ways been free and cannot account for
such proceedings.
A very large, and very enthusiastic
meeting was held at the Melodeon Hall on
Saturday evening to take the matterinto
consideration CHARLEY was present and
told the whole story. Speeches were
made by Champio Vaughan and d. R.
Anthony, Esqrs., and series Of resolu-
tons passed denouncing the act and the
actors.
Charley is here and it is highly probable
that he Dil stay.
The officers have left for parts unkno wn.
A Lodge of Coon TEMPLERs was organ
lied here on Thursday last. Genl.
McLASE, Of the Ledger, is one of its men,
bes. learn, ineidenly, that he proposes
delivering a series of lectures on the sub
ject of Temperance, at various points in
the Territory, as soon as his engagements
will permit. He can speak on that subject
from experience.
There is very little ice in the river at
present.
Business is pretty brisk and our streets
are only little dusty.

Journalism.

In a liberal form of government the
newspaper occupies the place of the high
err law. 1t is not only the conservator Of
morals and the guide of taste, but the de-
fender of the right and scourge of charla-
tanism. 1t urges its convictions without
fear or favor. 1t has no pet words and
honeyed phrases for upstaIt innovations
or time honored abuses. 1t never plays
the sycophant for the purpose of pocket
ing unholy pelf. 1t has lofty and abhor-
ent scorn for all who would tamper with
its probity.
The unbiased organ Of all lust interests
Of the community, it disdains to become

tempt for the purpose of promoting, or

suits finds no fitting expression in its i'm
partial columns. It's integrity is not more
unmoved by interested praise than it is by
jaundieed censure. It moves steadily on
its course in the winds eye of disturbing
influences. Like noble argosy freighted
with the wealth of nations, il never tacks
or veers to the breezes of popular or un-
popular prejudices.
The independent newspaper is conserva-
tive in all things. 1t ''grspples to its soul
with hooks Of STEEL" all that is pure and
elevating and noble. It kindly lifts from
the insigni6cance Of obscurity the poor
lost wanderers who are starving for fame
and notoriety. It exalts the humble and
applauds the wisdom of the learned. It
proves all things, and holds fast to that
which is good. Itwere far better to have
bad epitaph after death than to have the
ill-will Of a worthy paper through a life
time. The great stand in awe Of it, the
good worship it. the wicked fear it more

neighbors without good and sufficient
evidence. Whenever such evidence was
presented to them. it became their sworn
duty to End true bills against the person
or persons charged with the offence, and

authority in the government, had any
right TO deprive them of the power to dis
