T]ie Deplorable Situation of Kansas,
. we ]j known to the most casual readers
affairs that Northern emigrants
cf M'nVss into the territory through the
Missouri. Wberecver they essay it,
St3t , e or in companies, they arc met by an or
''"'"V i mob, disarmed, plundered of their ef
":'UlZ'a-ul driven back. All approach from
i nter is at an end. Some companies
•' - . -uc-ceeded in making their way into Kan
' ! tlifou-h the northern frontiers of the ter
' - • after traversing the long, circuitous and
riW :i;,;,v inconvenient route through the
of lowa. But the Missouri bandits
numbers to arrest the march of peace
frS/rration from that quarter also. A ear
,l;ile is thus drawn around the hither
. , >i')le parts of tbc territory. Mean
i'!'Larder ruffianism is rampant within.—
/r,'\ men and others in the pro-slavery in
pitch tLc'ir camps in certain eommand
,'i Kiilities, and from thence make continual
r Ivs 'oii the Free State settlers, driving them
v'tbeir claims, plundering and purloining
,?. r prnp<.rty, and sometimes even murdering
•Vm in cold blood. A drunken soldier bets a
, of hoots, that when he comes back from
; .nui he will bring with him a free soil
r ,jC CttiGJ * -
While goin# out, he meets a man (a
I'Vi't stranger to him,) riding in a buggy,
deliberately shoots him through the
,'l takes off his scalp and leaves the corpse
• ; road. He returns to the camp and his
.1 j',. "unwhipt of justice nay, it is
! v'even noticed, anv more than if he had put
, • through the head of a pole-cat steal
r along tiie public ways. That is but a
~ linen of border ruffian outrages, of cvery
• occurrence Hie ill-fated territory of
k', x , outrages committed both directly by
a nnder the protection of those lawless en
' ;,ientsof banditti, who respect no rights
1 • |i r .jjHrtv or of life, and spare neither the
. 'i.lri-sue.-s of old age and infancy nor female
jionor.
Incensed bv some fresh and wholesale pro
, ....pons of this kind, the Free State settlers
with u" protection but God and their own
- Jit arms undertook to break up one or two
, ■ :!:<• most notorious of these nests of robbers j
r ;-.idiers and murderers, and were successful
the und'TtVnig. At the close of the brief
.-impugn, governor Shannon went to Law
r no- to confer with tbc Free State men, and
■i-'iifcreiicc ended iu s> treaty of peace, an
. vlninge of pr T -■oners, ami an adjustment of
- ..".it difficulties. But a few soft puttings of
the hand on the crest of the serpent, have
>t changed its nature. The powers of dark
- are moved afresh to destroy the settlers
i 0 arcojip' -ed to slavery, and to complete the
si king and overthrow of that folorn hope of ,
~i|. in. the city of Lawrence. At the last,
.•..nuts, all the pro-slavery elements of the
i were beleaguering the city : and, all
,r the S'nte of Missouri, companies were or
.s/iag to march into the territory and ally
• ciiisrlvei with the ruffians. The folds of the j
;v -nake are coiling closer and closer around J
victim, and perhaps even now the fatal
g l:a-])ei-.etrated its heart. What business
• Missouri to invade Kansas with armed
.rrhs to crush out its infant liberties? The
N i bill, (itself originating with the eue
- of freedom in Kansas,) providedlbat the
adjustment of its internal affairs should be
1 it i the decision of the people residing in
i> territory. But Missouri takes UJKMI her
- if to lie the arbiter of the destiny of Kan- 1
and that, not by peaceful, moral methods,
'illy fire and sword, by wholesale frauds
and iiM-tiiited violence. An army of Missou
seized on the polls, and elected the so
: 1 legislature of Kansas ; did litis avowed
ly openly, and even boastfully. Missouri lias
the same thiug at the subsequent elec
-- in Kansas. Her prominent men have
' I all these plots ami assaults against
--.'will. Citizens of Missouri lawlessly seized
iiiuveruor Robinson and other prominent
Kansas leaders, while passing through that
Mate. Missouri constitutes itself one great
k'trieatle against Northern emigration into
be? territory, iu utter defiance of ail law and
right, witU a despcr.itcness of ruffianism,
beyond the reach of language to jiortray. She
e heen omnipresent in ail the internal affairs
"t Kansas doing what wrong and evil she
uGiti. ami instigating and upholding the out
rsges which she herself did not directly com
wt.aial which, but for her would have been
ff etuaily suppressed by the Free tState men
iicmsi-lves. And now, the same Missouri, is
""•■ling new armies to annihilate the remains
F tl." Free State party in Kansas. Perhaps,
tin- day, through her power, the black llag
*av<, in triumph over the smoking ruins of
I wreij.-e, and over the blood of its few, but
-"''ant citizens, poured out in defence of their
from whence can the people of Kansas ex
pert any holji ? When we attempt to answer
% question. the darkness grows still deeper,
jh'y a miracle saved tlie Israelites when the
va stretched before them, and the hosts
'iii'iietive Pharaoh compassed them about.
•i ; the a ire of miracles is passed. And tiie
of Kansas, thus hemmed in, can searce
v 'i a single ray of hope from any human
* lr •• '1 heir committee have applied to the
' of the United States ami what is his
lllSA '"r to tliem '! He gives them a deliberate

' t the States, which alone have cognizance
outrages committed on their soil. (Alas,
-if redress that they will find in Missouri
• ::rts -) lie tells them besides, that the gov
- I uaent lias no power to prevent or punish
arongs perpetrated within the territory,
; "it through the civil arms or by martial
" and that the military force of the govcru
'"iti only lie employed by the civil anthor
'-f the territory. That is, they must lay
'jt' r case before the courts of Kansas, if they
re protection or redress. As well might
'*'■ i-nt and bleedinglunib apply for protection
r, dn<s to the wolf that had torn and
it. Resides, that course would be a
■'■•" acknowledgement of the jurisdiction of
iiorities, which the hordes of Missouri
"ritihad thrust upon Kansas; a yielding
a '[ principle, of their own sacred rights
' the freedom of the territory forever.—
citizens who know their duty to
. 'Vcs, to their country and posterity, ncv
], " l!l m:, ke such acknowledgement, never.—-
, •! ihe abase, ignoble surrender of the
, -ceeof the territory, to any lawless mobs
'■'' night seize upon it to carry their own
!" ,r -'tc schemes. A committee from the in
' - its of Eawreiiec applied also to Wood
—e acting Governor. And his reply was
: " c strain with the President's, that if
*'oM acknowledge those laws (the laws
"" j'gidature, foisted upon them by a
inviiriuu he would protect them, and
disperse the mob. That submission to the
lawless acts of the String-fellow and Atchison
slavery extensionists, is the sole condition on
which the people of Kansas, in this dark hour
of their need, can hope for protection and re
dress. The authorities of the nation, and of
the territory, give them to the wild fury of the
mo'\ unless they submit without terms.
What hope is there besides ? If they un
dertake to protect themselves, and put forth
manly vigorous efforts for this purpose, then
they arc decried even here at the North as fa
natics and faetionists ; and men with an un
* blushing face, (but whoever heard of dough
that did blush ?) charge all the evils and dis
turbances in Knnsas upon them, affirming that
there would be no trouble whatever if they ou
lv submitted ; the caut phrase of despotism in
all ages and countries. If they but submitted,
there would be no trouble ! And what des
perate men they are, indeed, to resist the law
less aggressions of border ruffianism. And if
they look to the people of the whole country
for redress through the ballot-box, a mighty
cry goes up from dough lips and dough heads',
about sectional agitation. Because they urc
opposed to having slavery introduced into the
teMntory, they are abolitionists, and all wh#
would unite with them to prevent its introduc
tion there, are abolitionists. And if we re
sisted the forcible introduction of it into
Pennsylvania, we would be called abolitionists
who would do better to mind our own business
and not exasperate the patrons of slavery ex
tension. The faith of sacred compacts was
violated in repealing the Missouri Compromise.
They told us, however, that there was no in
tent ion of carrying slavery into the territories;
and many were beguiled with smooth words.
And now with lire and sword, they are carry
ing it there, against the will of the people of
Kansas ; but we must not resist them, even by
the peaceful and constitutional method of the
ballot box. We are dangerous agitators and
scctionalists, if we do. It passes belief, that
there can be any among us so besotted with
partisanship, that, for the sake of party tri
umph, they can tamely surrender all the sacred
rights of the North, the fundamental princi
ples of onr republican liberty, and aid in tramp
ling down their brethren in distant Kansas.—
They have no praise for the noble valor of
those heroic men, who have stood like the
three hundred in Thermopylae, guarding the
liberties of their country and the rights of
mankind ; not a word of praise, but a torrent
of bhune. The only sin, in their eyes, seem
to be resistance to the extension of slavery.—
It is a sin for which no penalty is too great.
It is a sin which justifies nil the Draconian
astrocity of Kansas laws, and all the outrages
which have poured their volcanic lava over
that devoted soil.
The government will not help them. It is
considered wrong for them to help themselves,
and exceedingly sectional and disorganizing for
the people to interfere in their behalf through
the ballot box. Their situation is deplorable
indeed, it reminds us of the man who, at the
time of a wreck, was east out of the life boat
by his companions, lie laid hold of the rim
of the boat with one hand, but that was cut
off. He lost his other hand in the same way.
lie then used the stump of his right arm,
which was immediately severed at the shoul
der. The other stump fared as badly. One
resource was left to him, and he seized hold of
tlie edge of the boat with his teeth ; and they 1
cut off his head, which effectually ended all ,
attempts to save his doomed life. The .Mis- j
souriansaml slave propagandists have cut off !
the hands and the arms of poor Kansas, strug
gling for existence ; and our Union-alarmists
at the Nor.li, deny the last and the only re
source left to that doomed territory, the inter
position of the people in their behajf. May
God hehl it. For if through such means slave
ry triumphs there, it will inevitably triumph
over all the territories. Jf the people of Kan
sas are not shielded, there is no protection to
anv part of the country against the most furi
ous outbreaks of slavery fanaticism. If the
country will not lie moused by the infinite
wrongs that have been done, and the outrages
that have been committed in connection with
Kansas, that they will sleep and be submissive
under any aggressions that may follow.—l'hil

The Orders to Gov. Geary.
WASHINGTON* Sept. 12.—1t is understood
that the telegraphic despatch transmitted by
the State Department to (Jov. Geary, is to the
following effect :
If the militia, which previous orders sent by
Col. Emory made subject to the requisition of
Gen. Smith, are not sufficient for the exigency,
Mr. Marcy wishes to IK; notified by telegraph,
remarking that the insurrectionary invasion
of Kansas byway of Nebraska, and tbc sub
sequent hostile attack on the post-office at
Franklin and on the dwellings of Titus and
Clark, seem to have stimulated to unlawful
acts of the same character on the border of
.Missouri, and that the President experts Gov.
Geary to maintain the public peace, and bring
to punishment all acts of violence or disorder,
by whomsoever perpetrated, relying on his en
ergy and discretion, and the approved capaci
ty, decision and coolness of character of Gen.
Smith, to prevent or suppress all attempts to
kindle civil war in the Territory.
The telegraphic despatch from the War De
partment to Gen. Smith, bears date Sept. 9th,
acquainting him that it is the purpose of the
President to secure him all the militia force
necessary to maintain order and supprcsss in
surrection, and that no military ojierations
shall lie carried on in Kansas otherwise than
under his instructions and orders. Hence ho
is instructed not to permit the employment of
militia or any armed laxlies of men unless they
have been regularly mustered into the service
of the United States.
jfeiY" Mr. Grow is meeting with a most cor
dial reception among his constituents in this
County.
The meetings which he adiircsscd at Great
Rend, Susquehanna Depot, Gibson, Lathrop,
Brooklyn Ac., were all well attended and en
thusiastic. At Susquehanna Depot there were
1500 present, and the liveliest enthusiasm for
Fremont and Freedom was exhibited.
Among our Northern hills, the fires of free
dom are lightly blazing. AVc are confident
that the cause of freedom will triumph in No
vember ; but how are the people of Kansas to
be preserved from their blood-thirsty oppres
sors in the mean time ? For them the present
prospect is dark indeed. — Independent Repnb.
tea)- The Union (Washington) received the
first news from Maine with some incredulity
and an air of cool indifference, remarking that
" the strong Democratic districts remain to be
heard from: 1 When The Union hears from
those districts will it lie good enough to let us
know t — X. V. Tribune.
Coi.. FREMONT AT THE SOUTH. —A slaveholder
writes a long letter to the New- York Daih/
Times , from Atalauto, Gcogia, emphatically
endorsing the nomination of Fremont and Day
ton, and expressing an earnest desire for their
election. lie says that he is a permanent re
sident of Georgia, owns half a dozen slaves,
was born in a Slave State, does not believe the
people of the North wish to deprive him of his
property, regards slavery as anything else than
a blessing, thinks the whole white race would
be happier and better without it, and thus
speaks of the existence of a Fremout party at
the South:—
" And as to the forming of <v Fremont party
in every Slave State, I do not hesitate to say
it could l>c done with ease, if mobs were out
of the way. And it could be clone, if necessa
ry, in spite of mobs. A few brave hearts could
do the work anywhere. But, misrepresented
as Fremont has been, I will not say that he
could get the electoral vote of any Slave State.
Vet it is beyond all doubt that he could got
thousands of the people's votes in every one of
these States. I will go further. I will say
that in twelve months from now there will be
a Republican party in every Southern State.
Such a party will not be based upon hostility
to the vested rights of any man or any class of
men. It will have for its object the introduc
tion, among our people, of fraternal feelings
towards their fellow citizens of every section,
and of a system of rational jiolitics."
