FROM” KANSAS. Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune, Lawrence, K. T. Aug. 31,1857. On Saturday evening, (he first criminal arrest wns made in the City of Lawrence.— A murder h»d been committed in Tecutnseh, iwo days before. Boih parlies were Pro- Slavery men. It was a family quarrel, and one of them drew, a knife and stabbed the tuber. Por’some reason best known to them selves, the bogiis authorities about Tecomseh did not interfere in the mailer. The murder er left, and was on his way to Missouri. He was-iirrhe hack from Lawrence to Westport, and was recognized by a person who knew him and the facts.. He bad given a fictitious name at the hotel. Under these circumstan ces, the City .Marshal with a posse of. two proceeded after the hack, and stopped it ar resting the murderer in the suburbs of Law rence. As the investigation of the case le gitimately belonged to the United States Court, a messenger was dispatched to the U. S, Mar shal, tendering him the custody of the pris oner. This will be a test case. The circum stances are so flagrant and notorious that these officials cannot turn loose the murderei wi'hont incurring odium. The fact that the murdered mart was also a “National "Demo crat,” ns well as the murderer, will clearly prove that Ihe design was purely the ends of justice. Not only (he bogus authorities, but the Uni'ed States authorities have been shame fully derelict in allowing Pro-Slavery mur derers to go unquestioned. Will they make an issue with the popular government of Law rence in behoof of a murderer I We shall The troops here are making every prepara tion io remain. They are buying and slack ing hay, and are quietly settling down into one of the fixed institutions of the country. The regimental band came over yesterday, and varied the. Sunday’s exercises by playing mar’ial airs through the streets. The force from the Plains is expected in shortly. Gnv. Walker has not replied to the Com mhtec that waited on him yet. I have heard that he told some Pro-Slavery men that the Commifee and those who voted for the reso lution were damned fools. 1 lenrn that the intention is to refuse any one the privilege of voting who has not patd the tax; and that if any Free-State men should he elected in any district where the tax qualification has not been required, the elpciion will be contested before the County Court, which has the settlement of all con tested elections, and nil the voles of persons who have not paid taxes will be stricken out. As the voting is done viva voce, this can easily be done, U would be impossible to mneeivp a more forlorn looking prospect than the ensuing election offers. The Court was engaged in trying Mr. Ha zeliine, but it is impossible to get evidence against him. He was not really engaged in rhe-affair on which his arrest was predicated. I do not think it will be worth while to en gage in the business of legal persecution against Free-State men until penitentiaries have been built. They dare not proceed to .hanging tliem, unless they wanted a civil war.

Amonjonl aficr, Mr-Spalding, the pro pnetor, heating a noise,turned and saw Grecnman standing in the door of the barber shop, with his throat cut from" ear to ear and bleeding frightfully. At t/its, Spalding ran lo lhe door and culled to the wife of Grecnman who stood in the door of her home, right across the way, aod stepping into the street as tf to meet Sirs. G„ dropped instantly dead. Grecnman lived a little less than five minutes. He severed both arteries. No canse is assigned for the self-murder, except that Grecnman had just returned from the Elmira races, where, it is probable, he had" indulged somewhat freely in modern beverages. Mr. Spalding’s death was probably the res°u!t of a a heart disease of Jong standing. n fmi, C r“ " 4DII '. SS,ON -—Tlie Columbia Soutl. Car. Wa LVI V° la m l l‘ B “ S3ault “P° n Pernor .u,. « hu .

Providence in V 854, ond in 1857, after solving as njany years as did the ipfcrhal hosts against Gabriel land the angels, like Satan they conclude to beat a sullen retreat'and let Providence rule.* But their submission comes with a bad grace at Ihis lale liour—excecdingly like the deathbed repentance of* man whoaejife boa been a constant strife with Providence add ‘goodness. Had the Republican parly submissively acquiesced in the demands'ot the Oligarchy, it is highly prob able that the alleged objections of Providence would have been arrogantly overruled by the Mulatto-dem*- dcracy. We presume- to '’say that the immediate objection interposed io the enslavement of Kansas by a wise Providence, is no other than the strong anti-slavery sentiment of theiNorth. Climate and geographical position have njot barred the gales of Kansas to the introduction of Slavery there; for h our worthy cotemporary wilt turn to tHe replyof Mr, Buchanan to Dr. Woolsky, Prof. Stillman and others which we published last week, he will find U there declared in so many w | ords, that not only does Slavery exist in Kansas at the present lime t but that Slavery existed there at the time of the passage of the Nebraska hill j and that it teas necessary to re peal the Compromise so that Congress should not leg. , i slate Slavery eit/ur into, or out of the Territory I Our worthy cotemporary will here observe that Providence hud interposed noobjeclionlotheenslav ! menl of Kansas down to the Nebraska infumy. On the contrary. He had permitted the institnilon lo.en tci there, and likewise permitted the Democracy to legalize it there—possibly for the same purpose that Satan was permitted to. afflict Job. And farther to convince the carious that Kansas cannot owe her salvation to climate or position, let any one turn to : a map of the United States and observe that the \ States of Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland 1 and Delaware, He in about the same latitude with 1 Kansas— so, that, draw a line from the southern boundary of Kansas thence to.lhe Atlantic Ocean, and you will include north of that line near ly every fool of thoss Slave Stales, where, to-spile of climate and other Providential objections, slave, breeding has thriven from thirty to two' hundred years; and in spite of climate, will ihrive forever, 1 The assurance of our Corning neighbor gives to us not a jot of faith that Kansas will enter Ibc Un ion with a free Constitution. We never bud any fuilh in a consummation “ so devoutly to be wished. 1 * But should the event prove our skepticism unfound ed, then wo will hurrah with the most zealous. Till then, we shall continue to doubt the saving power of climate and the mulatto democracy when slavery is the evil to be avoided.! By a free Constitution we mean a Constitution expressly prohibiting Slavery in the State that is to be. We hear of a Constitution which shall be silent regarding Slavery. Such a Constitution would Just be equivalent to a pro*slavery one; for, aince slavery already exists there, it cannot bo abolished except by positive enactment; and if they refuse to prohibit it in the organic law, who is so hopelessly verdant as to believe that it will be done by subsequent en actment under that Constitution ?

He was.met by aiarge delegation of our .citizens a. few -miles-, from town,,and escorted inio .Chambersburg and. through our principal streets by our brass, band. , Never before have,l witnessed so much heartfelt interest in our cause in a Gubernatorial election, as was manifested by our substantial.people yester day. There were no pompous processions.— no drums—no boisterous .demonstrations to force a large attendance; but the left their fields, and the mechanics their shops, to hear the Young Lion of the North on the great issues of the day. So impatient were the people to hear him, that when he reached his hotel, at noon, the crowd refused to de part until he made a speech, though he did not expect to speak until evening. Hon. Lem uel Todd was also here, and the Judge agreed to make a short speech and then let Todd entertain them. As soon as it was known that the Judge would speak, our large Town Hall was speedily filled, and when he entered the impromptu meeting the applause of a thousand hearls greeted him. He addressed them for an hour in his calm, dignified and logical manner, and he was listened to with the most intense interest. Never before have I witnessed such profound attention to any political speaker. Todd followed him in a most eloquent address, in which he handled Gen. Packer without gloves. He exposed his cowardice in refusing to meet Wilmo', and the trickery of his committee in endeavor ing to screen him from merited condera nation. Judge Wiimot’s regular appointment was for the evening, and long before the usual hour the Hall was densely crowded. Again our noble standard bearer addressed the people /or nearly two hours in a most elo quent and masterly manner, and that he car ried conviction to many minds was abund antly evidenced by several Democrats publicly declaring that they would vote for VVilmol. One of our prominent Democrats, a highly respeclable and influential roan, who has voted the Democratic ticket for twenty years, look Wilroot by the band after he had come from the s'and, and told him he would support him with.all the energy he possessed. We shall do well in Franklin. Hazlehurst will not have 25 voles out of T,OOO, and we can and will increase the 195 majority we gave'against Buchanan last fall.

OVERWHELMING WItMQT DbMONSTRA tios !—Grand Rally op the Reduli cans ! —Great Enthusiasm J — Though lasi Thursday was extremely wet, having rained with bm liuie intermission throughout the ! day, the Court House was crowded almost to suffocation, by the substantial farmers of our i county and the citizens of our town to hear a clear, forcible and eloquent exposition of the great, vital qhd patriotic principles and measures of the Republican party, from Hon. David Wilmot, our pure, incorruptible and Tearless s'andard bearer in the Gubernatorial canvass' of 1857. His reception ‘by the assembled mass’wns enthusiastic and cordiSf.

A;.full report*of it would occupy too much space in bur columns at this time, when We are so pressed (or room. Suffice It to say, both the tpa.n and the noble exposition' which he made of his principles, have left a most favorable’,impression u'ponlnc minds of our people, which will tell with powerful effect in October,' He bandied the slave Democracy without gloves—explained the position he formerly held in the Democratic party on the question of slavery, showing clearly that the whole North was with him at one time heartily on the Wilmot Proviso, excepting two votes, until driven from their position by the slave driver’s lash. His remarks were \ scafhmg.'* The meeting was a glorious one. The Republicans were highly delighted With the powerful speech of Judge' Wilmot. and went home determined to work manfully for his election. It was intended that ihe Judge and James Veocb, Esq., one of the Republican candi dates for (he Supreme Bench, should have spoken again at night, but Ihe Court kept in session until too late an hour to permit of it. Judge VVilmot has essayed a herculean task m undertaking to canvass the whole Stale, He appeared quite hoarse when risino lo address the meeting here."

Wilrool arrived here last evening and met with an enthusiastic reception. The hand shaking was hearly, the cheering tremendous. Last night he spoke for two hours and a half io the largest audience ever assembled in Somerset. The Court-*dom was crowded,, every particle of space for sitting and stand tng being occupied, and no man left the house during his speech except a few Democratic wire pullers, who found the atmosphere 100 hatfor~rhem. The -Democrats' from the couniry, the farmers.and mechanics, remained throughout, listened intently and went away convinced, while the Americans and Republi cans, testified .their approbation by ireque'nt and hearty applause. - ' 'Mr W if tribl Vpefionaf appearance is much. in .fits fayfar, \'He is a large njan, plain and unassuming in exterior, and hearty in his ma'nfierS'.'

I From tha Pittsburg Journal, A matrimonial Sell- On last Friday two weeks, an apprentice, aged twenty years, who had fallen in love with “a girl” aged about forty years, was joined in the bonds of holy wedlock to the object of his affections. They immediately set about housekeeping, and rented a small dwelling not a hundred miles from Diamond alley. The news of their (marriage spread rapidly among the neighbors, and Madame Gossip said a great many jhard things about the couple. It was asserted that the “old girl,” who is a gray ' headed, sallow-faced, lean, lank, cavaderous, looking feminine, had' “bewitched” the young man, wfio is rather good-looking, and nut up to the ways of the world. Ever since the old lady was caught in the act of kissing the cow it has been a fixed fact that “there is no ac counting for taste,” and ( hence there is no use in stopping to inqnire what induced the verdant apprentice, to make such a match.— The deed was done, and while the honey moon was in its first quarter, the youthful husband was startled by the intrduclion of a “little responsibility,’’ which had been sprung upon him by his wife. Upon making inquiry, he learned for the first time that, he’ was Ihe father ofno less than three chil dren ! He was completely horrified, and all his dreams of happiness)vanished. His wife tried to excuse herself for the deception she had used, and gave a sketch of her first husband, in a very feeling manner. The time at which she fixed the death of her first liege lord, rendered his paternity ol the young child impossible, and the anxious hus band demanded an explanation. She began to weep, and in the most pathetic and touch ing manner imaginable] informed “her dear,” of a “•misfortune’' which befell her while she was a widow. All this was interesting to “the apprentice,” and he keenly felt the “re sponsibility” of his situation. In a few days pitEj, Madame Gossiplsays she heard very alley, and soon after she saw*lHe n yJo leave with a trunk upon his shoulders. 0 He has not been seen since, and it is generally supposed that he has “left his bed and board | without jusr cause or provocation.” j Exti!aohdinai!X' Salvation op Life.— Capt.

He was a stout, plain looking old fellow, andon the trip down from Memphis contrived to get very drunk, so that from the lime he landed in the city until he left, he carried on like a crazy man, paying fifty or a'hundred limes the value of everything he bought. He gave a colored barber S2O for shaving him, and refused to take any change ; paid half a dollar for a glass of liquor, declined the change, nnd gave the barkeepertSaO additional as a free gift.
