which he narrates do not startle thot.e who arc
aiding and abetting treason and civil war, then
we are nearer a frightful abyss than we bad im
agined. We commend what follows to the care
ful consideration of every patriot in the land.
INDZPLNDE.NCI, M , Aug. 27, 1856.
DINAR SIR :—I arrived here yesterday ea route
for New Mexico, and having leisure on my bands
will give some accmot of the existing diffienities
in Kansas Thk unfortunate territory had re
mained in a state of comparative quiet until the
entrance of Lane and his regiment, when disor.
der and civil war were again renewed.
The first that was ko?wn of the coming of
these freebooters, for their conduct shows them
to be such, was notice.) in the Chicago papers
near a month afro to that effect;.end they were
nest beard of at Fort des Moines,. in lowa;
thence they nitrated for the Missouri river,
which they struck in the vicinity of St. Toseph.
When they arrived at the tat re} polii,"theY were
said to be in quite ' starving condition, much
diasatistled, and that they were disbanding rap•
idly, and not touch attention er OA paid to them
tint it is now thonght they phieed tits-4.1 reports
in circulfthoi to deceive the inhabitants of the
territory an to their true object They numbered
from 500 to 600 mt'n, and were well anwed-
Before they. ntered the territory they sent w'r:rd
to the Governor that they wished to enter, as Ito
ra and not an armed form); after
which they case into he Territory, and marched
to Lawrence in pirtics of twenty and thirty men
where they organised. Tbeir first net was so take

counties of Douglas and Franklin, to see bow

which Laue's men weut to the farms and houses
of the settlers, and told the l'-o Skeet, - and ciao•
wreathe men time-they trust declare themselves
i n e r r or of Free State measures, or leave the ter.
ritory. They immediately commenced 'commit.
dog outrages! upon those who refused - to• comply
with their demands, such as driving the families
from their homes, stealing the horses and guns,
and sometimes money. Among others they
drove a settler, named Davis, from his home,
near the town of Franklin, who was overtaken
en the road with his family, by a party of some
twenty Eve of Lane's men, who *bade a rung
man, in aompany with Davis, dismount front kit
horse, which they took and rode, away. -The;
overtook another tfier, named emir, when they
took the ho ram his wagon, totting himself

reaching their friends, weeps on foot. One fam

ADDRESS

FsLt.ow Cmaraes :—The Central Committee,
appointed by the Democratic State Convention
have thought proper to address you on the ques
tions which you must decide at the neat election.
In doing so, we shall be candid, frank, and fair.
Apart from the principle which should bind en
men to the truth is political discussion, and in
every thing else, we are well aware that any at.
tempt to mislead you would injure our cease.—
It is yet nearly three months before the election,
sad, there is no reason to believe that the public
mint will not use intermediate time in calmly
considering the great issue Wore it. We are
perfectly willing that whatever we may say,
which is not justified by &stand reason, shall be
set down as so much agadast us, ageless our par.
ty, and against our candidates.
The time has passed foe the disensaiou of Beak
and Tariff questions We bear no proposals to
enact a bankrupt law—no word of opposition to
the Independent Treasury. All these question.
are nettled agreeably to the Democratic , opiniens
upon:Ahem. The rise, the prosperity, and the
fall of the great Whig party, are themes for the
historian, and full of instructive lessons; but we
will not dwell ipon them now.
It is the present duty of the Democratic party
to stand over the Constitution, sad "stied it.and
save it, or perish there, too." It is our task in
this campaign to beat its enemies. separite or
combined, just as they cheats to meet us, to eon ,

be done, sr *lse this Usios ie notate far a day.
We know very well hew eery it is to sneer at
may suggestion of danger to the Union. But we
knew also that the federal relations of this Gov
ernment are so delicately constructed, that they
may be raptured at say time by a serious error
of the people in cheering a Chief Magistrate.--
The States of the Unitas are sot held together
by physical forces like the depandeneies of a king.

sovereignties, united b the gentler law of mu

own free will, made the Union- '

a President of the United States be elected ex
clusively by the votes of one seotioo, and on a
principle of• avowed hostility to the men, the
lectures, the domestic isetitotious, the feelings
and the interests, real or supposed, of the other
section, and what must be the eonsequenoe ?
We do not say that it would certainly or neeesia
rity dissolve the Union. Perhaps Abe good
genius of the Republic, which has brought us
through so many perils, might sue usAgain.—
But teat man moat be intellectually blind who
does rat see that it would pat us in fearful danger.
For this reason the election of a sectional candi

a:as simply to the fact that the right of sash
State to manage its own domes* comma in its
own way, was fatly conceded.
It was easily foreeen that great difference of
opinion and feeling would exist between the pee

ment that ought to be bestowed on the blush race,
who were amongst us, but cot of to—who were
on our soil, and yet not a part of the people, nor
qualified in soy way to be our equals. This race
was then held in slavery, or involuntary servi
tude, by the laws of all the States except one.—
But in the North their numbers were few, and
the climate unsuited to them, while in the South
it was just the reverse. It was utterly out of
the question to expect nnaminsity en a subject
like this. It could be managed in one way only;
Red that was by agreeing that each Stale should

own responsibility. It was then solemnly agried

The question of involuntary servitude bad en
gaged the earnest attention of sages of the
revolution. There can be no doubt that if they
could have provided for its amelioration and
gradual emaileipation, they would have dose so.
They found it, however,inoorporsted in the at

dealt with it guarding to the eziguseies of the
times in whieh they lived. We all know that
even at that early day it was a subject of muttuil
