When Shannon's despatch was first rewired
Wiisliinu'toii its authenticity was doubted
the President and his cabinet, but when
.L tut that the thing was not a hoax ap
(..in,,l to be satisfactorily established, the
V'l . <il'it telegraphed Shannon to employ nil
-y 'authority at his command to suppross the
.'aitliresik, and when a full and formal state
(,f the facts in the case should reach
\\Vliiiiu r ton, the government would act as the
•\i<cu-y of the case should seem to demand.
' X f ; js regarded by the President as a ques
ts requiring, i" every aspect, very delicate
tl, anient, particularly as the County Sheriff,
„,|,l not the United States Marshal, appears
i have been the executive officer. In this
the case a summons by him to the
troops at Fort Leavenworth
ild hardly meet with a favorable response,
Mich troops are entirely beyond his jurisdic
tion and not subject to the posse amitatus call.
If the President finally concludes, in accor
with the requirements of Gov. Shannon,
1,',, must first issue his proclamation of warn
unless there be indeed open, positive re
lieliion. So the imminent danger of grave
consequences at present is not seemingly im
nJimr, as far as the armed interference of the
government is concerned.
The Bloodshed and Burnings in Kansas.
Kansas is in a flame with an intestine war—
the people of the territory 011 one side and Go
v,.r,;"r Shannon with his Missouri auxiliaries
the other. Blood has flowed, and dwellings
have been fired ; mau flies from man as from
the savage beasts of that wild region, or seeks
t ] K . life of his brother as lie would that of the
wolf or the bear. Nor is this a contest in
which the rest of the country is neutral ; it is
•i civil war, to which we are all more or less
'.arfies. The battle ground is Kansas, but tho
!,;!>< of the combatants fill the entire circuit
of the United States. This is the first time
that civil dissensions, arising from a cause of
~narre] common to the whole country, have pro
ceeded to open and armed violence. The Shays
war in Massachusetts was a local dispute iu
which the rest of the country took no part ;
the whiskey insurrection in Pennsylvania was
local alo ; the dispute between the federal go
vernment and South Carolina, notwithstanding
the warlike words that were .uttered, was a
Uoodless on!'. But now the great quarrel bc
tween the slaveholders of the South and the
c itizens of the other slates, respecting the ex
tension of slavery, is put to the arbitrament of
•> M.onl iu a part of the country from which
:iie interference of the federal laws has been
irnfcsx'dly withdrawn, to allow free scope for
tit- contest. Whether the controversy be well
OT ill managed, 011 the part of those who have
Mil'Uiitted it to this fearful test, it is still our
ownccausae —a cause in which every citizen of
the United States has an interest.
The cloud from which this shower of blood
i. falling has long boon gathering. Sagacious
i. i servers have been looking with anxiety for
an armed collision between the friends and enc
tii:> - of da very in Kansas, almost from the first
mot moment that the country began tobeoc
t-ijiied Iw emigrants front the states. When
tiic invading party from Missouri imposed a
-iiurimts legislature upou the residents, and
ji --.il law- of an intolerably tyrannical nature,
i* '.iviiiiie certain that these laws would be
r.'-.-ted, and. if necessary, resisted even to
MKMI. The residents saw themselves aban
doned by the federal government in these suc
cessive inroads of the slaveholders from Mis
souri : and accordingly sent, to the eastern
states for arms, and adopted a voluntary mar
tial organization, liver siucc Gov. liceder was
removed, and Shannon was sent out by Mr.
Pa re in his place, to enforce the spurious code
promulgated at the Shawnee Mission, the
"iiiitry has been literally without a govern
ment.
I It is said that (lor. Shannon lias called np
j " the President for a detachment of United
I States soldiery to put down the insurrection of
the people of Kansas against what he calls the
iws.if the territory. 1\ hat becomes of "squat
ter sovereignty" if this is done? We were
tol.i by the advocates of this sovereignty that
the peojde of Kansas were to establish their
own institutions in their own way. This they
;c doing : they arc settling, in the mode thev
think proper, the question of the extension of
-niM-ry, and what right has Gov. Shannon to
I j.r.'vent them ? \\ hen the jicojile of a state
against it< local government, the federal
I .1 1' , -tration has no power to meddle in the
I matt.:-; the -tate government must put down
' a' rebellion by such means as it can command.
, If wr admit the doctrine of popular sovereign
-1 ty in the territories, we must apply to them the
I suite rule of practice. The local authorities
must deal alone with those who rise up in re
■ Stance again-t them.
Evidently Governor Shannon does not under-
I stand, or declines to jiractice, the doctrine
wiiu'li |,j< political associates profess. He
•.1 he removed instantlv for daring to in-
I '-"ere with the ''(principle of the Nebraska
• a principle from which the aduiinistration
again and again declared that it will folcr
*Mm ds-ent. If there is any soundness in
"• " trine of popular .sovereignty in the tcr
-1 " o-. Gov. Shannon's conduct is inexcusable.
°n tit" oflier hand, he lias taken the right
"• in appealing to the power of the federal
I • rnmeiit, popular sovereignty is a disgruce-
I . ' are now reaping w hat was sown when
I ; • kof blood is -lied in this strife, which
fy ••*•> nut ding to flic garments of those who
1 ' Iv'U't. tl that fatal measure ; not a victim falls
1 side, for whose death they are not
'■-werauic. It was to open a path to jierson
-I|:yia*!i that the territory of Kansas has
.lie! vered over to anarchy, and made the
I . "f nmuslanghter and burnings. First,
■ 'b iluroil by the apparent success and

I pmjwise the breach of faith which
t<i tie <e horrors, and then Mr. Fierce,

■ ' i.Mhi.-.- wl„, ||., ve taken the attitude
~ V' 1 ," 1 determined resistance to the de
-1 l ir(, tcndcd legislature which sat at
inMission. Kverv liberal sentiment
' Irceiloin, the hatred of oppres
sion, the detestation of fraud, the abhorrence
of wrong cloaked under the guise of law—eve-'
ry feeling of the human heart, which does not
counsel cowardly submission and the purchase
of present safety at the price of future evils,
takes part with the rcsideuts of Kansas. They
may may commit imprudent acts—they may
be rash ; there may be fauatical persons
among thein, who will do what we cannot,
justify ; but their cause is a great and righ
teous cause, and we must stand by it to the
last.
The House of Representatives now assem
bled at Washington, will, undoubtedly, deny a
scat to Whitfield, the pretended delegate from
Kansas, elected under the ordinances of the
spurious legislature, and will seud him back to
his constituents. Iu doing this, they will re
cognise as just and laudable, the resistance
with which the residents of Kansas have met
the usurpation of the intrndcrs from Missouri.

THREE Cini.nuEV BCHVEO TO DEATH. —We
learn that 011 Sabbath morning quite early
Mrs. Spelman, residing on Palmer Hill, left
her three children asleep while she went a short
distance to one of the neighliors 011 some er
rand. The oldest child was nine years old and
the youngest an infant only oue year. Mrs.
Spelman lacked the house when she left. From
some unknown cause the house took fire during
her absence, and the three children perished
in the flames. Tltc distracted mother returned
and found her little brood, that she but a few
moments before had left in quiet slumber, had
taken wings of fire and llowu to the spirit land.
The mother's grief may be imagined but cannot
be described.— Ave senile liepubtica n.
Skiff" A friend who recently happened on the
same car with Horace Greeley, tells the follow
ing : Mr. Greeley was trying to read a news
paper by the " dim religious light" of a car
lamp. In order to see he raised the wick ; but
hardly had he done so, before the lamp-trim
mer came along and turned it down. The mo
ment his back was turned, Greeley raised it
up again. The knight of the" Dark Lantern"
presently came along again and partly shut off
the light bv which the philosopher was read
ing. Greeley remonstrated. The official
thrust his lantern into his face, surveyed him
with a contemptuous air a moment, and coolly
replied; " Old fellow, you talk too much."—

CASE OK GOV. REF.DER.— The New York

noses iu the next Congress gives a majority of
sixteen in favor of Governor Reeder as the rep
