The Outrage on Gov. Reeder
The recent attempted perpetration of an
outrage upon the person of- Gov. RREDEII
near Kansas City, at Shawnee Mission,
shows the system to be adopted for the
introduction of Slavery. A correspon
dent of the New York Journal of Com
merce gives mote completely the facts of
this Hflray than walleye before seen. It
appears that the Governor was sitting a
lone in his office, his Secretary, Mr. Low
ry, being sick and confined to his room at
the lime, when the well kuown Gen.
Stringfellow entered. He was courteous
ly received, and after general preliminary
conversation, in which he dilated upon the
influence and control he would {rave ,over
the present Legislature, and the great ex
citement existing in Missouri against Gov.
Reeder, he made two propositionettitho
Governor—one being that -the Governor
'should sanction any bill that stimuld he
passed to ptinish the tampering with slaves
in the Territory, or the uttering,of aboli
tion sentiments, and the other thstlie re
commend in his message thatil
~- -le
103,4 1 i
lure adjourn to Shawnee Misidoo, e
border ol Missouri. The Governor'. d
that, although in favor of a free State, he
was willing, and thought it quite 'proper
that tompOrary protection.be given to'ilave
property in the Territory, u n til the ques
tion be properly decided : but that he
could not promise to sanction a bill he had
never seen, and much less could he spec to
a bill making the penalty for minor of
fences death, as lie had heard proposed,
and that he Would not recommend the
Legislature to adjourn to the . Shawnee
Mission. At this the General became
much excited, and endeavored to get np a
quarrel tipop the words—"b irder maims,"
reported to have been used by Gov. R. He
was told that the use of such language had
been disavowed, sill the l .as early as pos
sible. lie then de( i red to know if Gov.
12, had represented Kansas as being -con
quered and stfidogat ell by the citizens of
Missouri, to which the Governor replied
that lie had. , Stringfellow then inquired
lurthe r if the Governor had intended to
charge him with•auyunlawful .or dislion
erab e act, to which the Governor replied
that he believed and had said that Gen. S.
was mainly instrumental in creating the
excitement in Missouri, which had produ
ced the present state of things ; still in an•
swer to another question by Stringiellow,
said ,he considered such a course of con
duct as unlawful and dishonorable. •
By this time, the excitement of String
fellow became very great, so much so as
to attract several parsons standing, in front
of the door ; and he on the spot gave the
Governor a verbal challenge, which was
immediately declined, the Governor saying
that he was no subscriber to the duelling
code. At this time the Governor was
carelessly sitting with his chair balanced
upon the two hind legs. Stringfellow ad
vanced and by putting his hand upon his
shoulder, pushed hint over, at the same
time falling upon him, and scratching him
deeply in the cheek with his nails. The
Governor kicked Itim off, and rose to his
feat, both gentlemen drawing their pistols,
when Stringfellow was siezed by Attorney
General leaacks and Mr. Halderman, and
the Governor dropped his weapon, say ing
that he scorned to attack a man who was
prevented from defending himself. * By
the interference of the two gentlemen, the
matter was calmed down. **Stringfellow,
who thus began by attempting to intimi•
date the Governor of Kansas Territory,
failing in that personally assaults him, is a
resident of Weston, Mo., and makes no
pretence of living in the Territory. It is
'generally believed that the Missourians
have
. discovered that they *will be unable
to manage two-thirds of the Legislature,
.and thus avoid the Governor's veto; and

Governor lid twice good opportunity to

he refrained; for had any hijury, even, the
slightest;occurred to Stringfelloir,* in two

be invaded by roving bands of kidnappers
and outlaws, the Ptroog arm of law pro

Nor should we have alluded to the matter
now, • supposing that the reader has made
the proper
,eorrections.,but that a friend
his directed our attention to several his-
Lori& errors which inadvertently crept
into our last letter in the confusion of its
hurried preparation. Scorr is reprhoot
ed as being a Colonel at the battle of Lun
dy's Lane, whereas in truth he had been
promoted to a Brigadier Generalship some,
four months previously, because of mer
itorious conduct. To whom belongs
the honor of having suggested the pro
priety
of taking the battery of the en
emy posted on the brow of the hill, has
been a matter of some doubt and contro.
veray. Gen. BROWN, in his official report
of the battle, is silent as to the source
whence it originated. He simply says it
was necessary to carry the enemy's battery,l
and that Col. 311r.um was assigned to the
task. Ile neither claims the suggestion
for himself, nor attribntes it to any ono
else. Armstrong, in his Notices of the
War, seems disposed to assign the honor
to the senior engineer, ?tlcltzg; while the
friends of Scorr, front the fact of his pi
loting the gallant MILLER through the
darkness of the night to the gap which led
to the lane, have claimed the honor for
him, although it is possible that this ser
vice was rendered simply because of Scott's I
better acquaintance with the ground. It
is probable, indeed, that in this obvious
crisis of the battle, general attention was
directed to the enemy's battery, and the
importance of silereing it.
Our correspondent, a gentleman of su
perior historical attainments, and in whose
judgment we have very great confidence,
elaiths the honor for Gen. IIarLEY, on the
authority of Niles' Register and Bracken

writes us as follows :
To THE EDITORS or TIM "STAR AND BAN-

The_ Amarkan State Caere :1410W
In another colum‘we givd the proceiia
ings of sh American State Convention at
Reading . , with th i e platform of Principles
adopted as the basis of, operations in this
State. It will be seep that the Pro-Sla
very plank of the platform adopted by the
Philadelphia National Convention has been
repudiated, as it has beer repudiated by
every Northern American Convention that
has since assembled, and a section substi
tuted distinctly- denouncing the Kansas-
Nebraska swindle, and demanding a resto
, ration of the time-honored Missouri Com
promise. We should personally pre
, fermi the substitute proposed by the ma
jority committee, bet are content with the
action of the Convention, it being the most
emphatic recognitiOn of Northern senti
ment hitherto obtained from a Pennsylva
nia State Convention, and contrasting
'finely with the dough-faced action t,f the
opposition convention recently asseiiibled
at Harrisburg. A few cotton-hearted del
egates from Philadelphia, disliking the
manly ai-owal of Northern feeling, seceded
the party is infinitely bettor off with
out them. If Philadelphia cannot stand
by the rest of the State on a platform so
eminently conservative and patriotic, she
will have to go by herself. But* hope
bettor things from the sober second thought
of her people. The.lines aro now distinct
ly drawn between dough-faced Locofoeoism
and true-grit Americanism, end the friends
of Freedom of all political associations,
will know where to go.
The remainder of the platform is 'the
same as that adopted by the National
Convention, and as a conservative, patri
otic, unexceptionable avowal of important
principles, must challenge general approv
al.
-It will also be noticed that the obligation
of secrecy as to the existence, objects and
general moveme - nts of the AMerican or
ganizatiou is removed, thus coromendieg
it to the approval of numbers . who have
hitherto stood aloof, because of a want of
• sympathy with the profound secrecy which
has hitherto characterized its movements
—a secrecy probably altogether essential
iu the incipient workings of the party,
but no longer necessary now that it has
acquired influence and power. Hereafter
ire may expect open warfare between
Americanism and Locofocoism. Ire are
ready for the conflict.

tiOn was ever adopted by any Lutheran
church association, nor are there in the
Lutheran organizatimi any such bodies as
"Presbyteries," •or "Sessions." But-that
.don't make any difference to these con
scientious', truth•loving editors. Some
time ago we noticed the above resolution
in the same presses, attributed then to one
of the Synods of the Associate Reformed
Church, which body has uniformly borne
testimony against all secret associations,
and has excluded Masons, Odd Fellows,
and Sous of Temperance from church coin
amnion., In directing its anathemas a
gainst Know Nothingism, it would only
I be consistent with its past professions.—
On reflection, this did not exactly suit the
purposes of the Opposition, and the reso
lution re-appears credited to * zi Lutheran
Synod. Next, we may capita to find it
credited to a Methodist Conference, or a
Presbyterian Presbytery.
A SENSIBLE MOVEMENT. —The
Old Line Whigs of Lebanon county met
in county Convention last week for the pur
pose of deciding upon their future action,.
Resolutions were passed favorable to Pro
tection to American Industry, condemna
tory of the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, sternly reprobating the Pierce
dynasty and the cut-throat outrages per
petrated in Kansas by Atchison and his
party eiders and abetters, friendly to an
honorable fusion wills llic.anterican par.
ly, and nobly spurning the appeals and of-,
feted union of action with wily Locofoco
ism. Governor Pollock was recognized as
tho embodiment of the principles of the
party, and the Whigs were warned to bo
on their guard against all Democrats sail
ingunder Whig colors. A committee of
one from each township was appointed,
empowered to act in all matters relating to
the best interests of .the Whig party.
A Whig Convention was also recently
held in Washington county, which ildopt
'ed a series of resolutions denouncing the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise and
the outrages in Kansas Territory. The
Reporter, says that an honorable fusion
with the American party was agreed on.
There is something sensible in these
movements, and worthy the serious atten
tion of honest men of all parties. Mod
ern Locofecoism On invited and effected'
a coalition with tho Foreign and Catholic
vote, and is now directing a bitter crusade
against everything in the shape of Ameri
can sentiment or American policy. There
is neither room nor use for more than two
leading partici in this struggle* between
Americanism and anti-Americanism. And
between the two parties neither , Whig nor
Democrat ought to hesitate.

Prl7' The Legislature of Connecticut,
which adjourned on the 30th ult., passed
a law by which the courts of the State are
forbidden to administer the oaths necessa
ry to naturalization, to any foreigner, who
must consequently seek the United States
courts if they desire to become citizens.
This virtually nullities the naturalization
laws of the Union, iu their application' to
the foreigners who reside in portions of
din State remote from the large towns, to
which the sittings of the United States
courts are generally •conlined, and will
probably- have the effect which was doubt;
less designed for it, to seriously retard nat
uralization.
A proposition to amend the State con
stitution, in a way which will deprive all
naturalized foreigners who are not familiar
with our janguage of their votes, passed
both heuies of the legislature by loge ma
jorities, provided it be approved and sanc
tioned by the people. It provides that
no person shall be entitled to vote unless
he can read distinctly and with facility
any clause or section of the constitution or
laws of the State, or of the United States.
OLD OPINIONS OF SLAVERY.—
In the course of en article, the Tribune
quotes PATRICK HENRY who wrote :
"Would any one beheve that I am a mas

not justify it. I believe a time will come
when an opportunity will be offered to aboh.
ish this latnentable pvil. Everything we

our day ; if not let us transmit to our de
scendants, together with our slaves, a pity
for their unhappy lot and an abhorenee of
slavery!" "I can only say," wrote Wash
ington. " that there ie not a man living
who wishes more sincerely than I do to
see a plan adopted for the abolition of it,
(i. 0., Slavery ; ) but them is only one
proper end effectual mode by which it can
be accomplished, and that is by legislative
authority, and this, as far as my suffage
will go, shall never be wanting." In the
earlier and better days of Jefferson, bo
foro sectional maiden had spoiled him, it,
was his great and leading asFiration to a 0

and co-operated with him) some RA le
gislative measure of emancipation as that

and that "tyranical, oppressive, unconsti 7

in these United States.

One. The Xenia Torch Light, MI 4,
says :—"Harvest is here.' The hot sun
of the' past week has ripened the wheat
with most surprising rapidity, and in a
few days the whole crop will be ready for
the sickle.„ Many of our farmers have al
ready commenced cutting theirgrain, and
more of them will be engaged at it in a
day or two. We are gratified at being
able to say that in our opinion the crop in
the county will be more than an average
one, with full grains and loss straw than
in other years."
The Cincinnati Price Currant has an
article on the crops, which states that a
long the line of the Cincinnati and hill
anopolis Railroad, the farmers have alrea
dy commenced cutting, and in another
week or ten days now wheat will be in
market, and in less than a month new

Kentucky the wheat has been harvested,
and the yield is reported to be twice as
largo as in any former season.
In Southern Indiana the weather has
been cool and delightfully pleasant ; and
under the . warming 'rays of the sun the
wheat is being rapidly matured. Mar
vesting will commence in Aho vicinity of
New Albany about theJatter parker next
week, and the yield of wheat, unless it is
injured in the meantime by the rust, will
be unusually large, far exceeding the av
erage of the past three or four years:
We are assured, says the Now York Tri
bune, by those whose chances for observa
tion have been ample, that thioughout
Southern Indiana and Kentucky the
wheat yield this season will be larger than
tiny they have had in these localities for
several years. The corn crops are also
looking very well—the stalk being large
and healthy. Oats, rye and other grain
crops are equally promising. It is antici
pated that the fruit of every variety well
turn out much better than was expected
earlier in the'season ; at all events, them
will be a very large surplus for shipment
to other and less reductive regions. Al
rtady are the excellent crop prospects af
fecting the high priecs of produce ; and
the ingathering of the harvest will cause
a further and very Material decline in ev

The Loublyille,. Ky., Courier says that
in Mason county farmers aro DOW cutting

the heaviest and finest raised for ten years

A letter dated Muscatine (Iowa) Juno

I have been in the State or Town, nr the
land which now hears that name, for nine

so great a ptoml•e in the growing crops
as at this time. Wheat and oats, corn and
pnintoos, all are of extraordinary growth.
Winter wheat was . a hrle winter killed,
hut we sow but little—mostly spring wheat.
But that which stood the Winter is very
good. It is now hegining to turn and will
soon he ready for .the reaper. Spring
wheat is now headed, and it is stout as it
can well stand. 'file insects have not in
jured it at all in this section. Wheat and
pork are tl:e staple products of lowa --.
Our wheat crop mostly goes /South ; but
while we supply the South there is a grea
ter balance left in other States for New-
York.
The use of wheat harvesting:and thresh
ing machines enables us to raise nearly
double the quantity that we could grow by
hand labor. But the crop is "so great this
year throughout' the West, that we shall

The wheat crop in Canada' West is spo

of Spring wheat sown this year throughout

will bo atnplysuflieient, with a reasonable
harvest, to support the whole population

Measles. EDITORS :—On the 21st of last month
et was observed by a member of the family of
JoEt : :BrirsuAs, near York Sulphur Springs,
that several men on horsebcak rode to and fro
along tiroad near the house, sometimes stop
ping in a piece of woodland near by, and seem
ed to be consulting together ; but as no evil
was anticipated, no mention was made of it. .
About 9 o'clock in the morning, three men,
entire strangers, rode very fast up to the hOuse,
and passing around it out of sight of the family,
two of them hastily dismounted and, entering
the yard, came before the door, where, seeing
one of the family, they asked where Mr. Wier
man was, and, not waiting for a reply, passed
quickly round the house and went to the Barn,
where, observing a colored man at work in the
field, they ran towards him. He saw them corn•
ing, became alarmed, and ran off in an oppo•
•site direction. In their pursuit they passed
near where Joel
.Wiermatt was. Ho asked
them what they wanted, and why they were
trumping down his corn and wheat ? They
gave him an insolent reply, and ran on. He
followed them, forbidding them to do to. Af
ter running a long distance and crossing a creek
they overtook the man while ascending a steep
hill. They seized hint and commanded him to
go with them. He said they threatened to shoot
him if he did not stop. By this time Joel Wier.
man had reached the opposite bank of the
creek. He usked them by what authority they
were doing that. They replied insultingly,
and walked on—one on each side of the color
ed man, having hold Of him and forcing hint a
long in the direction they intended to go. Joel
told them they must not not take that man off
Ids premises without showing their authority
for so doing. They paid no attention to what
he said, hut went on. He then crossed the
creek and came up to them, and again de
manded their authority. Two of them drew
out their pistols, and pointing them athim,
with a horrible oath, "this is our authority, and
(t . you interfive with as, we will blow you
through." He told them he disregarded both
them anti their pistols, but must Icon what
warrant they had for their doings. Thel,walk
ed on, still holding their pistols aimed at hint,
repeatedly threatening to "blow him through,'
if lie did not let them alone"—saying this man
was their slave. He haktsl them who they
were and where they came from. They refu
sed to tell. After awhile they put the man on
e. horse behind one of the men, (for the third
lied come to them front another direction) and
started towards Petersburg. Being thus over,
poWereil Ity force, the owner of the premises
MIS obliged to let them take him away. One
of the three then ran across several large fields
buck to the house where two of their horses re
mained bitched. The lady of the house went
into the yard and enquired if they had found
her husband. At first he made no reply, hit
-mounting one of the horses, and leading the
other, rode up near to her and asked her if she
was Mr. Wierman's wife ? Being answered in
the affirmative, lie proceeded to say, "they were

He wits told they were probably mistaken in

adding that they had boon at another place,
(Wm' Wright,) that morning for slaves, but
Fat none: that he was not there, or they
would. She asked him where her husband
was ? Pointing in the direction from which he
had come, he said he was dor yonder ; and
putting whip to his horse, he rode away. He

been done,
Joel not returning as was expected, fears
were entertained for his safety. There was
neither man nor boy about the house, and no
time to call omneighbors. Filled with anxiety
his wife and one of the daughters started in
search of him. The others remained with the
family. There is a honn/ing school kept in the
house, and the pupils, with all the rest of the
family, worn terrified with the idea of a human
being being hunted like' a wild animal to be
mode a slave. They had not gone far when
they met him returning, unhurt, when they all
rejoined the excited family.
It was supposed, from what was snid by the
one who returned for the horses,that they would
proceed immediately to Hartialturg. Expect.
ing that the Commissioner would make short
work of it, end not doubting that the man would
swear any one a slave, no attempt woe Imade to

when they coinmenced operations it was

Extraordinary Attempt to Kidnap.—
Early on Friday . morning last a white
girl, aged 14; the daughter of Mr. Samuel
Godshall, residing within three miles of
Downingtown, Chester county. was car
ried away by two men in a close carriage,
a distsitice of twelve miles from her home.
towards the Maryland line. The girl had
been with a neighbor (or the pest two or
three weeks taking care of a sick child,
and on the morning of Friday, while go
' ing along the road to drive a cow from a
pasture field, she was accosted by two
strange men, very genteelly dressed, who
were standing near a carriage, attached to
which were two horses. They asked
her name, sad where she lived ; to which
inquiries she gave answers, without heal
iation. Without any further conversation,
tone of them opened a tin box, and took
therefrom what appeared to be a pitch
plaster, which he instantly clapped over
her mouth, when both of them dragged
her into the carriage and drove off. After tt
.taking her twelve miles from home, they
put her out in the woods and immediately
left her. Subsequently two colored men
found her and assisted in taking the stick
ing plaster from her mouth, and about
night she succeeded in reaching home.—
It is supposed the men were 1n search cf.
a fugitive slave, and as she.was much sun
burnt. mistook her for a colored girl, but
on ascertaining their mistake released her
and made their escape. They offered her
no insult beyond threatening to knock
her brains out when she cried aloud.
BOUNTY LAND WARRANTS.—'There have

under the act of 3(1 March, 1855, and the
number is increasing at the rate of about
five thousand a week It is calculated
that over 300,000 applications will be filed
under the law. ?,the Pension office com
menced the issue of warrants on the first
of June. and have since been engaged up
on claims filed, from the passage of .the
law to the 24th of March. During that
period about 17,000 applications were fil
ed, of which? 12,252 have boon allowed,
and 8,788 warrants issued thereon. It
will thus be perceived that several thous
and claims filed within a very short period
after the passage of the law,remain enacted
upon. Claimants who are expecting the
receipt of their warrants will have to re

In Paris it was reporied that the failure

it because the French failed to silence the
Malakoff.

drawing to a close.
A despatch dated the 25th ult. stales
that Sweaborg had been bombarded and
all the stores destroyed. It also corrobor
ates a statement that a large number of in
fernal machines had been cast up most
unexpectedly.
Accounts via Stockholm, June 20, from
Helsitiglors, mentions that the English
have bombarded Hang° and destroyed di e

DANZIO, Juno 20.—The Vulture has

Forty-six infernal machines have been
discovered and destroyed. • One of them

injured.
Great movements are taking place a

Only two French divis ions were em
ployed in the assault ; they were those of
Generals Mayran and Brunet, both of
whom were severely wounded. The chief
loss was sustained, not in the storming' of
the Malakoff batteries, but in 'the aneutpi to'
stay there under a storm ofgrape and can
ister from the contiguous deferees. It is
believed in Parts that with the experience
gained in this first attempt, the general
will be able to diminish considerably the
power of the enemy to annoy the allied
troops when next they alter the Malakoff
works until the latter are able to turn the
advantages of that position against the
wet. There is no sign of a return to the
offensive on the part of the Russians, and
of that terrible turn which according to
some prophets, the war was to take upon
the failure of an assault ; we as yet hear
nothing. A temporary check has been
sustained, but the general situation is un
altered.

she was so treacherously robbed.
