The House, hy 23 majority, carrigil the
bill in tins form, many ,nol voting, so as tor
make issue direct on the action of the Senate.
It. was promptly- returned with the proviso
stricken ou,. Then the House came to a dis

VV'e have Ihe following intelligence from

Missourians are colleglefl at AVe-.(pnrt and
Kansas City, and It is expected Ihhv will
march on the 30lh, in diff-renl del ichmenls,
along both 'ides, uf the Kansas River, t
surround the Free Suite .sefh'menl all the
way west its far aa Topeka. General Rich
ardson had marched north, eaienoblv to irt
tercept and caphire Gen. Lane, hu' actually
to prevent assiS’ancc coming to Lawrence
through Nebraska.
No cominunica'inn could ,be had with the
river, except at the risk oflifff. 7 '
Provisions were very scarce ai Lawpenre,
and the citizens had asked a Government
escort to obtain supplies, hut they were re
fused, An attempt was to he made to obtain
supplies under a guard of the Free Stain force.

Last week wc published two or three Border Ruf
fian accounts of warlike operations in Kansas eon.
dueled, by Gen. Lane and other Free Stale men.
Those accounts were taken from Border Ruffian pa
pers, and arc proved to havo been false'in loto, by of
ficial despatches from Gen. Smith of the U. S. army,
stationed in lhat Territory, and by private letters.
Gen.'Smith says thol Lane is not in that Territory.
U should bo remembered that every exaggerated ac
count of outrages committed in that Territory has
been from Umj Border Ruffian organa., The
lying,.then, is with Mr. Buchanan's friends.
. In another placebo publish a letter from Plalls

arc undoubted., Read that letter and Ic;irn why the

, Arc not our people fully prepared for Ihe measure?
What do \vc want in the shape of education more
than o «=dmol of thin description ? So far as wc on.
derstand the educational want? of thip village, and
the feqlmgsof the people, thU is just what is needed.
Not u twenty thousapd dollar concern, gravi

cly to its patrons. But not so the Onion School
which Ihe wants of this locality most'lmpcriously
demrind, arid the mbahs of the peopfe ore competent
to establish, witltool any uncomfortable sacrifice.
Our present academy huildjng i*£n dilapidated from
ogc und abuses and -so incompetent and inconvenient
from bad construction that it is not expected to sur
vive much longer. Ohr common School building is
regarded only as a present toleration, because it 100
ia tn a f inking condition,and could not scat properly
ad the scholars that belong lo the district if at any
time they should be turned iulo it, Both the Direct,
orsol this and the Trustee? of the former institution,
wo believe arc contemplating a radical change of
some kind at an early period. Wc hope they will
not conclude lo bjiild buildings, and thus
perpetuate the sam.e antagonist interests of ihesn
two onblc institutions In our village. One building,
one Supervisor and Board of Instruction, one aim
and spirit should embrace ail our homo and foreign
scholars. |Kconomy, good, permanent, reliable schol

the a b c darian to the student of the sciences or
classics require such a school in Wcllsboro 1 . Wo
dq not expect to compete with other richly endowed
seminaries of learning, with a hundred or two hun.
dred thousand dollars capital; but wc do expect to
educate our own population and as many foreign
scholars as we have ever had, or can reasonably ex.
poet with the increased facilities of education wc
expect soon Lo witness in this place; ami educate
them thoroughly and cheaply. Wc do not expect
to send onr Scholars away to prepare them tor col
lege, or any branch of business, but rather lo invite
many others lo prepare in our school, with our own
children, as in many years gone by, ibr ihe highest
honois of college and success in future life,
A more favorable lime perhaps will never come
for ua to commence this work of uniting our schools,
and building a neat, economical building jor the uc-,
couimodaliun of the various grades of scholars, and
for the principals' of'lhc school. A good quality of
brick is now being made in our village; the people
we believe are prepared for it; the house may go up

July 22d, 1^56.,', $ '
My Dear Friends inLockport :—Your
kind missive of July sth, Jaden with sympa
thy for us and for all the oppressed in Kan
sas, is received. This interest in us, evinced
not only by words of kindness, but by mate
rial aid, is doubly grateful to us in our-niw
home, since it comes from friepds at our fir
mer place of residence, with whom for years
we have had common lies and common aytn
pal hies. f
’ When men have framed mischief by law,
and the oppressor rules the land with a strong
hand, men’s hearts fail them for fear; yet
nflumes there is reason for hope, even in the
darkness of the hour, for as morning follows
night, and strength is nursed by hardships,
so resolution Is-born of unjust and odious op
pression, breaking the chains paid .bringing
deliverance. Such An "hour we hope is neat
at hand. Our people havrj been outraged la
every possible way, in their persons and in
their properly ; robbed of their homes, mur
dered upon Ihe highway, and imprisoned
j upon charges of treason, of which they are
I no more guilty than any. freecman of the
Norih who believes in In's unmistakable
rights as a man. Murderers go unpunished,
because, forsooth, ihey are Government offi
cials. Those who destroy public and private
buildings, and throw priming presses into the
river, are paid from the public treasury. Gov.
Shannon himself goes around to private
dwellings, telling one lady he will “ eat out
of her husband’s black republican heart,”
and another that he is "looking around to
she' whom ivwill do to kill and who not"
meahiVtj*, who are of his parly and who of
Free Stale principles.
When a witness in the case of Gov. Rob
inson came to Lecompton with the Governor’s
counsel, an attempt was made to drive both
from the place before their business was ac
complished, and Gov, Shannon being ap
pealed to for protection, he replied, 11 Your
people are shooting down our people, I can
do nothing for you." Since this official is
appointed by '.he President of the United
i Staler wo rannni but regard him as the aider
and abelior of these things, and nothing bul
i ihe 1 whole people, speaking n ihunder (onea
of indignation, and hurling ihe present’ ad
ministration io ihe ground, can save us from
coniinued ranine, murder and desolation, an<J
I ihe whole N’onh and 'he awful curse and
I mildew of slavery.
I Many of the prople in the country, far
j from settlements. must sutler fearfully from
jrfa.ly anticipation of attacks ; although the
[ (mops are now so stationed as to prevent any*
large numbers coming from Missouri. We,
in the larger settlements have continued food
for excitement in the reports coming from
different quarter's respecting the slate of the '
I Territory, afid also in Ihe reports of help
■ coming from our friends ;n the North. W 8
[• hope settlers will pour into the country from
the free Slates, thus securing It to Freedom.
Mv husband has now been in custody over
two months, being released the day before
the sacking of Lawrence, and re-taken,
though ill and worn out, the next day. Ue,
»i:h six nih«r prisoners, indicted for the same
high charge of ‘reason, is now about twelve
miles from Lawrence, under the surveillance
of the U. 6. freons. .am with him most
of the lime, going occasionally to Lawrence
for provisions, and to look after my family
at home. M'e have.been honing from day
to dav that the prisoners might be released,
but there seems (iitle reason for such hope, as
the middle of summer is already here, with
its burning heal, heavy dews, and drenching
rains, giving us all the fears of chills and
fever in anticipation.
Gov. Shannon has been heard to say that
if ’ln- are tried, ihey will be com
mined, and if committed they will be hung.
Yet, inasmuch as my husband’s life wa*
spared, weeks ago, when with blood-thirslness
they sought it. and no parson’s life on the
highway was sale, ! shall still hone in the in
terposition o| an arm stronger than these ju
dicial courts, and that my weakness in all
coming ills, may be made strength. My
husband’s horses were stolen by the mob, the
most valuable one never having been returned,
llis business is suffering for want of his at
tendance ; yet, feeling that he sutlers in a
righteous cause, he bears all with cheerful
ness, and is looking forward to a time when,
even in this Territory, every man may sit
under his own vine and fig-tree, without fear
from deadly foe.
I hope lo be able to visit you the coming
full, and lo thank you all personally for the
kindness and sympathy manifested in our'&e
half. With respect [ am
Moat Truly Yours, •
