Lawrence, K; T., Aug. 13, 1867,
The reign of military despotism has begun!
Ye«ier3ay evening a company of United
Stales dragoons paraded through Lawrence
with a wagon full of Free-State prisoners'
11 ken in Franklin, Instead of going up the
California road toward Lecompton, or by (be
base of Mount Oread toward the dragoon
camp, the procession was brought up the
main street of Lawfemse, so as to attract as
much .aMention as possible. The design was
evidently to intimidate the people~of Law.
r>mce by this display. It had onl’y'lhe effect
of enraging them; The particulars' of the
ease, ar> far as t have been able to gather
thertafare these :
La>S September the saw, mil I of a Free-
State-man in Franklin, named Purdam, was
burpedi down by Pro-Slavery • incendiaries.
A mong those eng iged were some Pro-Slavery
iu»n residing there. One of these, named
Crane, is a w ild,-reckless leHow,' intemperate,
and a gambler. As Franklin has been dis
puted territory tieiween 'Free-Stale and Pro-
Slavery men, occasional difficulties have 6c
eavioniil difficulties have occurred there;
Ilecentlv ihis' fellow. Crone, has threatened
in shorn several Free-State men, including
Pnrrliim, [.as! Sunday these threats had
heehiynewed in a manner,somewhat' alarm
inu. nndas he was known to he a reckless
desperado, and as there'was no law—at least
none where Free-Stale men could gel justice
~three nr four men waded on him and told
him that his threats antf o'her violent con
duct could.not be tolermed, and that he most
leave Franklin; Crane immediately left,and
h", tyi'h Mr. Bucher, the classical bogus
Sheriff of Doiiglas County, paid a visit to
Gnv. Walker. The great “Pacifijcator” im
mediately saw an opportunity lo'jdo some
thing, whereupon 'a company of United States
dragoons were detailed to accompany these
re-pectahle gentlemen. The. result 1 have
stated. Mr, Purdarft, -who is an T)ld and re
spectable citizen, and five other persons, wore
taken prisoners in this way. They were
draped through Lawrence, the evident de
sign h-ing to intimidate the people. Instead
of being taken at once before a magistrate,
they were taken like prisoners of warlo Gov.
Walker’s camp west of Lawrence, where
they are closely guarded by troop?.
As not even a retaliatory act of outrage]
had been committed, al! that should have been ;
done was to have taken them quietly before
n justice, and .bound them over to keep the
peace. No attempt was made to have them
arrested un'il die Iroops were sent. The
military arm sucercedes (he civil in the most
trivial case, while, (be parties are subjected
to the most ignominious conduct, and are
kept in a state of apprehension as to what is
to be done with them. The whole thing is a
shallow and vulgar tnek. The necessity
for taking troops 10 Franklin at a!i may he
judged from the fact that it is claimed ns a
pro-slavery town. It shows to uhat extremes
th’ Governor is driven for a pretext against
«Ko |f c;bnpgs hqiy rarkleafllyJhe will
lion (hat legal persecution, under ffitTcoercive
power of the army, is not at an end. It also
cleaily demonstrates that this \k a mili'ory
despotism ; that the government is hot of the
peOp ! e, and will not be sustained by them.
Another still more significant fact was de
veloped nl Locompton yesterday, Attorney-
General Weir notified Gov. Robinson that
hi* trial, under tboold indictment for usurping
was to take place next Monday. The
G iverrmr lotd him that he be bad been in
formed by the officials and himself that nolle
prosequi bad been entered in all these cases.
Weir informed him that .such was not the
Tact.
By this it appears that the pretense of en
tering nolle prosequi in case of the Free-State
soliticnt prisoners was a fraud, It was done
(o preserve quiet durins the bogus Consiim
fiqnnl eleclioo. The result proves the misera
hie, false aod truckling character of the
officials connected with the bogus Courts.
Gov. WnHfcr was'in Lecompton yesterday.
Re pretended to be very much dissntKficd
Avith the extra-judicial decision of Judge Cato,
fo the effect (hit ndhe should vote but those
who paid bogus taxes. It tore the mask off
bis own scheme* rathertAo prematurely. He,
no cJoubt, thought they might have been satis
fy that the law" was so without such a pre- 1
mature declarit of it. He said he would
Hsue a proclamation for the election, and in !
il would declare that all shall vole .without!
paying The object of these .promises
on his part is obvious. The Pro-Slavery men
thought (bat the Free-State men were fully
committed to vote by thetr last Convention at !
Topeka. The Governor, knows that tiie
Grasshopper Fall* Convention, s'ill lo be
held, is to determine that p.,mt. Hr wants
(o hoodwink the Free-State men, fie saw
(he danger. Dishonest, mean and corrupt,
he does not hesitate id prosliluJe his.position
in order lo further the work of deception.
StvvEnv in Minnesota-Tha Sc, Paul
limes snys it is a notorious fiict that negro
sla»es in a oonsirleraWa numbers are now
owned and worked in Minnesota. A man, and
a ram of means, 100, holds his cranes of
slaves over the Mionesola river, which he
works upon his farm io open hos(U; ty fo
punlio semimem, but in beautiful harmony
with the Dred Scott decision. Men have
passed through our oily wi;b their slaves
several times during the winter, and less than
four weeks ago a southern . gentleman look

lermg his name as." -nnd servants.”
He had five of the animals. The St. Louis
boils hive repeatedly and frequently been
manned in>art by slaves from the St. Louis
market, and some such lie at our levee almost
every day. And it is generally reported—
we “know not how truly—that a slave is being
held in Stillwater, and will continue to be
held in defiance of the' Minnesoia law,, for
the avowed purpose of provoking another
Dred Scotr decision' from the five immortal
slave-holders of (be Supreme Dench.

The laying of the Great Atldhttc Telegraph cable
commenced on the 3d' insl., and 30tl of the 2500

crimes.
Many people would like lo to decorate their dwell

lo bear the expcilsc. The excellence to which the
Uthrographic art has attained, and the 1 cheapness
with which Uihrographa arc made to resemble oil
painlings iby the method ol Grecian oil Fainting,
places these coveted decorations within the reach of
persons in moderate circumstances. OF ihoee who
practice the Art, we can recommend Mr. H. D. Deal,
hot, of DcJmar, as one who has ao excellent knowl
edge of the details of the as one who
possesses more than ordinary artistic taste and skill.

Sunday was a right Novemberish day*—a day of
grey sunshine and white squalls. Sunday night was
too blustering for frost and just coot enough for
sleeping* There is now every promise of an, early
Fall, Grass is generally got in as also winter grain.
Oats arc a good crop, but corn—a frost before • ibe
20th of September will ruin nine acres out of every
ten, we saspcct.
We have seen but one piece of Sorghum that
promises anything. This is on the land of Mr. J,
Duryca, of Dclmar. The stalks will average eight
feel in height, and the sight will well repay any of
our village folk for a short walk thereto. This ono
sample -demonstrates the superiority of Sorghum
to coro for fodder. The season has been unfavora
ble to the thrill of both corn and Sugar Cane.
Two or three manifestations of a riotous nature
have occurred in this strictly respectable town with
in the current week. Two of the gentler sex be.
look themselves to face-scratching and hair-pulling
to,determine life ownership of some property or
after all, we understand. We entreat* tl\o tanmfr
to leave these little squabbles to their lords and lov
ers—-remembering that—
“ Their link hands w.erc never made
To scratch out each other's eyes—out.”
The other affair was got up by the sex to whom
the delightful and elevating pastimes—such as get
ting drank, fighting, bowing cfoighle, etc., belong
by the custom-grant of time. It began in a den on
a back street—a 'den (hat could very welt be abated
as a nuisance—and resulted In a goodly pounding
to seme, and scandal to all present. It is surprising
how our good villagers put op with such things; it
issUU morc surprising that whiskey should be sold
in open violation of law in our midst and under the
noses of that Vigilance Committee! We have wai
ted months (or the Comroiltee'to wake up, Il won't
do anything of the kifid. It would do something
startling, only it fears the consequences of impar
tial action. Perhaps it does well lo close its eyes.
Some honest people might be astonished to learn
that whiskey-telling isn't confined to dark cellars
and stables altogether, nowadays. Dear folks, rum
selling in violation of law is getting to bo a respect
able as well as a sale business.
But we discern, dimly, an approaching: change.
The history pf'commumtics is but a record of fluc
tuations from a high moral standpoint to a tow one
und thence back again—continually. And thus, in
the decline of good order in our midst we manage
to gather some .crumbs of comfort, us, when the
place gets us bad as it can bear lo behold iudf, it
will inevitably set about doing belter. Isn’t that &
comfortable theory ?
The Price M tibetly.
Liberty is not a free gift, but is. man’s by pur.
chase. The price has been proclaimed from the
housetops,emblazoned on ourbanners and taught in
our school?, until it is common upon the Jips.of ihc
I‘mlc children. You may seek oat the humblest set
tler of the remotest clearing in this wide land, and
he will 101 l you unhesitatingly, that Uws price of lib
erty la eternal Vjcila??ce. •
Well, w hut 13 *lp,rnal vigilance? Is it the duly
of an armed sentinel pacing the;lines of an encamp,
ed array ? or stalking the baUlemcnled walls of a
fortified city ? No. it is neither of those. The
soldicfs of,Uberty arc not as an avenging army, go«'
ing out to Lay waste and make desolate the’ homes
of the land, and os such, need no armed scouts, no
outposts, no silent-stalking sentinels and no relief,
guard J but they are a host of freemen, with the in.
s/gnra of Art and Science in their hands and with
a motto of Christian love and duly blazoned upon
tW>r standard. Liberty ta no enwaded city, with
deep u ud pqntteroqs drawbridge j but n city of
brotherly lave and 0 f refuge, hounded only by the
scope of fraternal feeling and fortified only in the
fidelity of \ls hearts.
Would to God that every freeman could this very
Instant awake lo the fall knowledge of his responsi
bility* Would to God that every man could earnest'
ly feel that he- is a heaven-Uppoinled agent of the
world’s redemption- Thai each and ah could un
derstand that it is as much a religious duty' to labor
os it is fo pray. That the highest mission of pray,
er is of hands and the belter con
secration of hearts lo the work of national redemp
tion* That the casting of a vote is a sacred reli
gious duly,and that he who professes to love liberty
cannot withold his vote and remain gtiihlesa of the
consequences. Eternal vigilance is instant action—
no more, no leas. Every voter is thus constituted a
waichtrian in the Freedom army. No man is, or
can be exempt from the performance of his duty.
Docs any freeman lean upon any past success
.achieved by the noble efforts of the friends of Lib.

pf the sevenlt’cleetion * districts roust settle with
their own consciences. There is .no escaping the
conclusion (hat if voters fail lo come out. their Re.
publican neighbors will have neglected Unir duly.
We know as well as anybody that Iho Republic,

of Tioga, and that the'scnlimenl must prevail hero
as generally as it now docs, while the people remain

October must decide that’question.
Wc are often asked : 11 Can Wilmot be elected 1"
We answer, u Vcv, —if nineteen twentieths ■oi the
Republican!: of this Slate go to the polls and vote.”
But admit bis election to be impossible,—that is
nothing to us as friends of Freedom. Republicans
arc at work to pot down wrong and oppression. It
by electing Wilmot wo can put Pennsylvania right,
then let us strain every nerve to elect him. But
with such a standard-beater there can be ,no defeat'
to the cause wc aim to establish. As a slraitfor
ward champion of Republicanism he has greater
V’-SltZl a ld,. s hCP ort than any emi
fully, not because ho is David Wilmot, hut becaaso
he is an earnest and uncompromising defender of
the Right, everywhere and under all circumstances.
Should he he placed in the Executive Chair, Chat will
be the proudest day for Liberty that lias yet dawned
since the birth-day of the Republic. Is this not' an
achievement worthy tho noblest efforts of freemen ?,
Again.' —We once mote lake up the delightful task
of glorifying the positron of Hie Tioga Democracy
In 1854. The following resolution was unanimous
\ ly adopted in the Democratic Mass Meeting held in
j the Court House on the 6vh day of July of that
1 year. Wc copy from the Eagle ;
1 u Resolved, Thai Ibe aggressive spirit of slavery
j can bo checked only by a.manly and determined op.

Iht true principles of ihe O’otfrnmenL
Resolved, That the., union of freemen without
regard to former. political attachments, is the only
safely ftr Freedom.
“ Revoked. That Hon, 6. A.' Grow, our Koprc
senlativcin Congress in manfully resisting the com
summation of the .Nebraska iniquity, deserves and
receives our entire approbation.”
We cite allcnlion lo lhat first resolution, and ask
our democratic friends to explain how, in two brief
years 'thereafter, they cunld vote for a Cincinnati
Platform, which glorifies^liic Nebraska infamy as a
ju«t and righteous act; and how they could vote for
county officer* placed squarely upon that platform
by the nominating Convention 1 And wo ask them
one question beside, and a question which cannot be
dodged: Is not the third resolution of the Cincin
nati Platform,/turfy and squarely .contradictory of
the word, letter and spirit of the first quoted rcsalir
lion above 7 You cannot deny it. Then, in Die
name of common souse, wc ask—ls not what was
sound democratic doctrine so late as 1854, fcpudia
led by the so called democratic party of 1856-7, ns
sectional and treasonable 7 Especially du wc ask
tome reply from those intensely Mulatto journal,
the Honesdalc J Jerald and Tankhannoek Democrat,
Not with any very sanguine expectations that they
will discuss the subject before their readers, however.
But, thank Heaven, the t;uc Democracy of Ttdga
have voted in harmony with the sentiment of that
resolution ever since. The people were in earnest.
Next* week we shall take up the resolutions ariop
led by a democratic meeting held al Lawrenccvillc
during the same'month.
Judge VYilmot commenced the State canvass on
the 251 h at Somerset, and will address the people at
upward of 40 different points, closing at Philadel
phia on the I2ih of October. We predict that his
course will be a perfect triumphal march, and that
the presence of the man joined wiih the earnestness
of his speech, will prove the utter baseness of the
miserable slanders circulated from lime to lime by
hia .enemies.

We never know a body of men lo apply
themselves more diligently dr pertinently lo
the matters before them, than oh this occa
sion. The following are the most, important
conclusions, reached: .
Resoloed, 1, That we organize the Key
stone Editorial Union,” which shall meet,
annually, at such lime andjpiace ns may be
decided upon from year to year.
2. That we earnestly (recommend lo all
publishers of newspapers in Ibis Sthte, that
from and after the first day of January next
they send no paper out on credit.
3. That the members of this Association
Ageilt who will not promptly'seUle^’in'till f,
his accounts, at the end of every quarter, for
all advertisements contracted for and pub
lished within that time.
4. ' Thai any advertising Agent failing lo
comply with the foregoing resolution, s.hall be
published as no longer our ngenl.
5. Thai we deem it impracticable for edi
tors in diflbrent localities, distant from each
other, lo Corm.n uniform scale of prices, and
that we, therefore, recommend that it be
made a matter of loen! arrangement amongst
publishers, governing themselves according
lo circumstances, and in no case deviating
from the terms of advertising as Set forth in
their respective Journals.
6. That believing mutual confidence and
co-operation necessary lo secure any prac
tical benefit to the editorial profession, we
pledge ourselves lo use our best efforts, both
individually and collectively, to cultivate that
spirit, j.
7. That the publication. of personalities
reflecting upon the private character of a
brother editor, or of any other individual,
is derogatory id the editorial profession, and
should dot. he"countenanced.
8. Thai it is a yiola.'tion of that coustesy,
which should ever characterize the fraternity,
to erpploy apprentices who have not served
out their full term with their employer, unless
by riiutual agreement, and we pledge our
selves to discourage its countenance.
9. That we will not take apprentices here
after for a shorter period than, four years.
10, That we pledge ourselves to exclude
all advertising matter of an Indelicate nature.
The publication of genera! Stale laws
through the public journals, was recommend
ed as the best way of making such laws
known ; the concurrence of nil the editors in"
the State in our present and future action/
was invited ; voles of thanks to Mr. Cox, the
Officers, and ihc citizens of Danville who
had paid us allen ions, were passed ‘with a
willremarks were j elicited at parting from
Messrs. Tate, Miner,: Puleston and Worden,
and almost the whole parly, showing that
they had some use of tongues aa well as of
pens-, trod the Union finally agreed lo hold
another meeting at Potfsviile on the-first
Tuesday of May ; next, at 2 P, M,
VVe see it stated that Gen. Pucker is de
termined to take the slump, and will accor
dingly address the:people in different pans of
the Slate. VVe suppose of course he has oh
tained consent of the Stale Central Commit
tee in the regular way. “As tho success of
cv-hers is involved in, the contest, 11 he snrely
would not venture upon so important an un
dertaking, unless by the “advice and con
sent” of that discreet body. —Washington

VVe had the pleasure on last Sunday of
listening to a very' able sermon delivered in
St. Paul’s church, by the Rev. Mr. Mauf&e
of VVellsWo, Tioaa Co., Pa. It was. a re
freshing shower of Gospel truth which we
rarely meet .with among (ho sousjif-theology,
and'as it eloquently fell from thejips of the
preacher, we could-not but wish- that more
were able to hear'it, although the house was
full lo overflowing. —Lockhavcn Watchman. ,
