The Lawrence Massacre.

Rev. Robert Collyer, the agent for the dis
tribVtion of the fund raised in Chicago, for
the benefit of the sufferers by the late Law
renee massacre, has returned from his mis-
sion of charity and mercy, and on Sunday
last FROM his pulpit in Unity church, told the
story of his errand in such eloquent and sad
words that we transfer large portion of it
to our columns. After describing his trip by
the way, Mr.. Collyer said
was to say word, secondly, on some
things that seem to me to underlie this sad
dest OF all tragedies done in these last days
among civilized men. Aud need not tell
you, first of all that this is by no means the
beginning of sorrows in that place, but that
ever since the strife began in Kansas between
freedom and slavery, the history of Lawrence
has been written in blood Foremost of all
the cities in lhat state, is her Intimate kinShip
to New England limited in her very name.
Her hardy, reSulute, unquenChable spirit, I'M
til Kansas declared herself free state, is an
open book that | need not read from to this
congregation. 1t is enough to say that GER
tanly through all the old struggle, Lawrence
suffered hideous injustice and wrong from the
rampant border rutiianism, and was certainly
not defended by that wreck of humanity,
whose unhonored days are drawing to u close
in Lancaster.
Lawrence stands on fine bluff on the south
bank of the Kansas river, with other and high
or bluffs and limestone ridges rising and
stretching away toward Arkansas southwark,
and westward in the direction of Colorado.
