AND STILL ANOTHER.

Mr. Perry, and his friends. are endeavoring to
get into power by deceiving the people in every
possible manner. They evidently believe lying
to be virtue that the people will take cosni-
zance of. The most Wholesale lying is resorted
to by them. As We 60 to press. we learn Of
another. 1t 10 to the effect that Stricller is
opposed to the two years redemption law Of
property, sold under execution. and that he will
work for its repeal to have it restricted to one
year. 1t is simply an electionering LIE. The
fact is, no man in the State, who has as many
mortgages to attend to as has Mr. Strickler. has
been mo,e indulgent. In not , single instance
has he forclosed mortgage where there was the
least hope Of pay.
Let not the voters heed word they say. We
have not the space. nor the disposition. to con-
tradict all the lies they are circulating. Let the
voters bewarei Stricklef IL your only true friend,
and representative Of your lcyslty

OUR UNION ORGANIZATIONS.

The Lawrence State Journal is greatly exer-
cised respecting the Union organizations Of some
few counties in the Western portion Of the State
We can relieve thea, to certain extent by
speaking for Davis. Every Republican in our
organization supports the Topeka ticket, and We
| do not know of Democrat who will vote q
| straight Lawrence ticket We have heard one
say that he would not vote straight Topeka
| ticket. That is the way it stands. Our dele
gate to the Topeka Convention was not Repub-
lican, yet he returns satisfied the delegate from
Dickinson county was Democrat, and he says
the Topeka ticket is the only Union ticket in the
field. We can further inform the Journal that
We have not one single rebel sympathizer in our
Union party-we are at bitter war with every
one of them in the county. This cannot be said
of the Lawrence movement. consequently it is
bogus. We see men figuring in Union" Con-
ventions in Lawrence, who, if the country had
been in their hands one year and a half ago, it
would now be in He'll We are willing to make
all due allowance for the influence of those
mighty instruments, Public Opinion and Federal
Bayonets, but we desire very long probation
before they shall be allowed to run the ma
chine"
And now, not to be impertinent, We would
ask, Has the Lawrence Journal cheerfully and
heartily supported the Administration We
say emphatically, it has not. Regarding the
removal of Fremont, it intmated rather boldly
that our country was beyond hope-that it had
no confidence in Lincoln to save it. 1t has dis
ccuraged enlstments, and week after week its
columns have teemed with abuse Of Gen. Lane
while he was engaged in carrying out the
wishes Of the Administration.
This same bastard party has another organ
or did have. The Manhattan Express, another
I" Union" paper, only last May, made this extra
ordinary assertion "One charges thst Colonel
Wilson has said that it was better to acknowl-
edge the Independence of the South than involve
the country in an indefinite civil war. Suppose
he said So, this WIS merely an opinion" Ex-
actly JEFF Davis said, LET US alone :" Col.
Wilson says about the same thing, and the Ex-
press indOrses it. Out upon such Unionism
No truly loyal man would give such an opinion
Such is the character of those who assume to
lead patriots.

JUNCTION, Kansas, Oct %, 1852.
Editor Leavenworth Times
In your paper OF the 2lst. I notice statement
to the effect that Mr.. Parrot was prevented
from speaking" in this place "by the soldiers at
Fort Riley; that he was taken to my house
that the soldiers followed that &" they rode up
and down in front of the house, firing their guns
At the house, and swearing that they would take
Mr. Parrot and hang him" In justice 20 all
parties. deem it proper to say that this state
;nent is exaggerated. Mr.. Parrott did not speak
because he was too unwell to attempt it, and had
positively declined before there was any mani
festation Of disapproval. At the time appointed
for the meeting, the citizens who had assembled
TO hear him, convened in Tavlor's Hall, and
Mr.. PARROT addressed them briefly. excusing
himself from making speech, and the meeting
dispersed without any disturbance whatever.
Mr.. Parrot accompanied me home, not for pro
lection, but because he had consented to remain
with me over night In dismisslng his audience
Mr.. p. spoke Of General Lane and military
despotsrn.' His remarks seemed to excite some
of the boys" who were in the audience and
who, after the meeting dispersed, gave vent to
their feelings by cheers for Lane and aroans for
Parrott Some five or six of those mounted their
horses, and rode by my house, (which. by the
way, stands on the main street of the town, J
giving utterance to their feelings. Whilst doing
So gun was discharged by one OF our citizens,
which some Of the soldiers supposed was fred
at them, and which greatly exasperated them,
and a number drew and fired off their revolvers ;
but am not aware of their firing either q. Mr.
Parrott or my house. One of the boys rode up to
a man saving wood at the house, accused him
of firing the gun and threatened to shoot him,
but did not Although mortified at the conduct
of the boys, it is proper to say that neither Mr..
Parrot or myself felt in any great danger OF
violence at their hands Their demonstrations
yrnrn al ~ Hla Of, E
ratiOns Of bad grog. 1t is due to the soldiers
also to say that out of the25 80 present not to
exceed half a dozen participated in the rio.ous
demonstration. r. McBRATNEY

Entertaining these views, as I do, it is
unnecessary for me to say that I am op.
posed to the so-called Henderson Amend.
meut to the Pacific Railroad Bill. ]
believe that amendment conceived in nc
friendly spirit towards Kansas, or her in
terests, aod as it is manifestly not to the
interest of the State to assent to it, Ipledge
myself to unyielding opposition to its
adoption.
shall deem it my duty to present and
urge the passage Of laws for the more edec.
i've administration of justice, for the pro.
lection of life and property, and for the
apprehension and punishment Of such
thieves and marauders rs those who have
so long infested our western border, and
from whose iacursions and dcpradations our
people have suffered so often, and so much,
during the past Eve years.
In short, fellow citizens, if you shall see
fit to elect me to the position for which you
have done nee the honor to nominate me,
I pledge you that will exert myself to the
utmost to promote the interests. welfare,
and happiness of the District, the State,
and the Nation.
