not strictly justified by the instructions to

is very mach palliated by the circumstances

Capt. Engle had a long interview with the

Gen. Walker arrived this evening, accompa

Gen, Cass replied that the Executive De

Wednesday Morning, January I. 1858.
The Circulation of the Hun

er than the Globe and Am
erican combined.
Dar general Denver, the new Gover
nor of Kansas, it is affirmed, has declared
openly his approval of the course of Wal
ker and Stanton, and that the Admini.dra
tion is mistaken if it supposes he will not
follow their example. At the urgent re•
quest of a large party of free State men
from Lawrence, Governor Denver has
given up to them 'he arms taken by Gov
ernor Geary during his administration,
from the large body of immigrants who
reached Koons by the northern route.
General li'dridge gave a bond that They
should not be used for ten days, which of
course includes the election on the 4th.
The militia act passed by the Kansas
legislature, and also the other acts passed
over the Governor's vetoes, tailed to be
come laws in consequence of the presi
ding officers not having affixed thtAr signa
tures prior to aijourmnent, being rather
green nt the business of legislation.
President Buchanan is said to approve
strongly of Commodore Paulding's letter,
and to condemn the morality of the
hunter enterprise, while on the other hand
the Southern majority in the Cabinet dis
approve of the Commodore's act.
The St. Louis Evening News, the State
organ of the American party in Missouri,
openly approves of the armed movements
of the free State men in Kansas. It pub
lishes an editorial article headed "Civil
War in Kansas—lts Righteousness—Let
the People Arm for Reststance !" The
following paragraph is worthy of note:
•"We turn to the people of Kansas.
They have been shamefully deceived and
betrayed in regard to the privilege of
choosing their own constitution, ar.d reg
ulating their domestic institutions, and
they have sworn to resist usurpation to
the hitter end. We applaud them fur it,
and say, God speed them in the right. Let
them take up arms and defy Mr..Buchen.
an and his troops, and return shot for shot
as long as they have in gun and a man to
fire nt. When they have all fallen in th e
righteous cause, there will be a million
freemen to take their places and carry on
the war."
The editor of the News is a Southern
man, and was, we believe, a slaveholder.
!Er Democratic editorsare now per

banter to enlist—Buchanan's or Douglas'.
