Squatter Sovereignty. We give below, a apeelmen of the workings of the Kansas bill wboatJ defenae aod endoraement is made ii test of orthodoxy. Let 11 wbo wtaol Ssi perpetrate this state of affairs vote for BachaDBo: To my Countrymen A True Statement. Chicago, J one 11,1 866. To tit Editors of the Chicago Tribun:

I wish to make, for the beaefit of your readers, a true statement of the manner in which free State men in Kansas are treated by the mob which has now possession of the Terriloty, and liiasonrians on the border, as proved by my own case. I emigrated to Kansas in March last, and settled in Lawrence, where I took no part in tbe political troubles, by which the Territory has been convulsed. In all respects I endeavored to demean myself as a good citizen and an honest an. On Thursday, tba 6th of the present month, I had occasion to go to Kansas city, Mo., with my oxen and wagon, for a load of freight, consisting of household goods for an emigrant in my mploy, who was with me. On my return with the load. I was obliged to pass through Westport. When about a mile or a mile and a half from that village, I came upon a camp occupied by about sixty or seventy Miasourians and Alabumians. Here I was met by a squad ol these men, armea wun mniKets, rmes ana a ' . t 1 An a aide arms, wbo demanded of me to stop. "Here's a d d Abolitionist," waa the ery, "let us have him any how." I procured a pu$ which bad been given to mn by U. S. Marshal Donaid son; but tbey awore it waa a forgerv. They proceeded to break open the boxes in the agon, and to scatter the goods about in the road. hen this was iroinir on. I was sent into their camp, where 1 was questioned thus What's your name?" "C H. Barlow." "Wht-rw do you live?" "In Lawrence." "Where aiw you from?" Waterbury, Connecticut." "What i re yoar politic-?" "I am a Free State man." "How much money did that d ned Emiirrsnt Aid Socetv" ffive you. to come out heie?" saw, at ts 'Who give you a rifle, Beecher or Sillinan?" 'Neither; I brought no gun of any kind to the Territory." What the hell did you come out lere for?" "Why to cet a home and make money. 'aar 'And to make Kansas a Free State?" I hat's my intention now l am here." 'Why did'nt you go to Nebraska that's a irood country, rd you d d Yankpes may have it; but Kanaas, you ill have to fight for, and we'll whip hell out of you, but we 11 get it, Union or no Union!" That's a gerne that wont win I'm thinking." After much more of thia sort, inter larded with impious oaths and ruffian ly threats, I was asked. "It we'll let you go, will you take a gun and march with the Pro-Sla very party? To this 1 had but one word in reply, and that was, "Never." Immediately there was a cry for 'The ropet . btyt' the ropeil" These were speedily brought and a nose was thrown over my head and around my neok, and 1 was dragged to the nearest tree. I exclaimed, "You do not intend to kill me in this manner, do you?" "Yes, G d d n your Abolition heart, and all like yon' 1 besTaTed, if 1 wris to be sacrificed to their fury aod causeless hate, that might have time to collect my thoughts and arrange my wordly affairs, l was told that if I had any property to dirpase of, or my peace to make with God, that I would be allowed just ten minutes for both. I gave a man among them, who 1 learned, waa called Bledso, and who seemed to think that I was to be killed without cause, a schedule of my effects, and asked him to send it to my brother-in-law, at the East, whom 1 nsmed. At tbe expiration of the little time given me, I was again dragged to the tree, tbe rop was thrown over a swinging limb, and, in spite of the remonatrances of Bledsoe and of Tread well, who also began to plead my cause, 1 was jerked from the giound and bus C ended by the neck; I cannot tell for ow long, but, probably, fo- a briel period only, when '! 'read well, who was called Major, and appeared to have command, peremptorily ordered roe to be let down. I wasagrtin questioned: "Will you leave the Territory if we 11 snare your life? To this I demurred, saying that I had offended no law, or infringed no man's right. The leader again interposed, and told me that unless I would promise he could not eave my life. He told me that I waa guilty of no crime, except that of being a Free Slate mnn; that I had a right to be, though he wonld admit that I had no right to sueh opinions in Kansas. At last, his ruffian followers extorted from me the piomise they required, giving me just twelve hours to make i he promise good. I was then sent with a guard to Kansas City, to set) tbat I did not escape. My oxen and wagon were taken poaseaaiun of, and I with less than five dollar in my pockets, was forced to take tbe next boat, and leave the country. In conclusion, I de;lare that I have

been and am a law-abiding and peace-1 ful man; that my mission to Kansas

City was one perfect! v lawful and pro per, and that so far as I know, I am driven out of the Territory only be cause of my political opinions my desire to make Kansas a Free State. My case is not a solitary one. Every man of my opinions, who falls into the same hands is liable to tbe same abuse; and thia, in Kansas, is called "Law and Order." (Signed) C. H. BAKLOW. The following statement of Mr. -John A. Bailey, which is attested by three respectable gentlemen, his neighbors, is a rather interesting case among tbe many recent outrages: I have been fourteen months in the Territory; came from Pennsylva nia; I started last Tuesday morning for Little Santa Fe, alter provisions for myself and neighbors; I had got as far as Bull Creek by 6 o'clock in the evening, when a man came up and stopped my w..gon, telling me to stop there for the niubi; this man was Coleman, the murderer of Dow; he had twenty men encamped where I met him; amone them I recognized Buckley, Hargus, Jones, Conelly and the Cuming brothers; the two first be ing also BccomplictB in the murder of Dow, and all of them in the posse of Jones which took Branson; in the night my horses were stolen, their halters cut; in the morning these men made pre'enae of sympathy, and said "it WPS loo bad for people to steal horses from their friends:" they told me 1 could find them in tbe camp at Cedar Creek, and three of them volunteertd to go with me; I borrowed a pony and leaving my wagon with the others started. "After going about half way to Cedar Creek we met a large company of not leas than 200 men; they took me prisoner and ordered me to dismount ; after taking me for some distance in a wagon, well guarded. I waa again compelled (o mount my pony, snd the 'hree men who came with me from the other camp held a consultation with the officers of this; I overheard Cole roan aay, "There may be treachery uaed," but could gather nothing definite of tbeir intentions further, save that these three men who had volunteered to help me find my homes were sent to take me to Westport; the company went on over the hill in the prairie; shortly after they disappeared theee men led me off the road a hundred yards into the prairie: they made me dismount, and demanded my money; I gave them all I had, 946, without a word; one of ihem then raised hia gun as if to shoot me; it was a United States musket; I told him if he meant to kill me he would kill a better roan than himaelf; lowering his gun, h said, "1 wish you to take off them pnntaloona for fear they get dirty;" 1 told l.im tbey were mine as long as I was alive; he again rsised his musket, but while he was in the act of firing I dodged; tbe ball hit me in the side, glancing along my ribs, and through the cartilages, lodging in my back; 1 fell; he then struck a' my head with the but end of his musket, but missed, only grating it; as he struck at me the other two men rode off as fast as poss ible after the company that had gone over the prairie; he struck at me again, when I eaught the musket in my hands and held on to it; he held to the other end and jumped on my body, stamping on my head and face, bat as he wore Indian slippers ho did not hurt me much; he then tried to jerk the musket from me, and in doing so pulled roe to my feet; I still held on to it, and dealing him a blow with my fist, he let go the musket; he then ran after the others, calling them to come back, but they had gone some distance and did not hear him; he ran after them and I ran after him; be commenced running harder, and soon die1 V . B . appeared; i men turnea, ran some distance into the prairie, and hid in the grass; three hours passed quietly, when I left my biding place and wandered toward home. "At 10 o'clock 1 came to the branch of timber where the road crosses to go to Blanton's Bridge; I there saw two sentries on horseback; I passed so as not to be seen by them, exrioting to get serosa at another place; beard cow bells clinking and dogs barking; I thought I was coming to a dwelling, but in a short time 1 found that the noise moved and that there was no house there; I then went to the upper end of the grove hoping to get across tbre; al tbu point I heard the aame noises, further up I came on their camp in the timler; it was nearly day break, and I moved away and hid in the grass, where I could watch their actions; in the morning they were called in by the sound of cow bells; while theie I heard some one cry, "Are you going to hang me?" I heard no reply to this, except the noise of two rings of the cow bell; in about five minutes I heard a shot, and at the .a .as BB a same time sometiiuiir like a boatswain s whistle to lower, ( Uailey has a a .. . been a sailor;; alter that I heard mx S AB B I a shots fired at intervals of five minutes; a I heard no more till night came, I latin the thicket all day: at night 1 crawled out and contrived to travel about two miles; my side was so soie I could scarcely walk. "I walked up to the Santa Fe road and found that also guarded; 1 went to the Wakerusa. antl remained hid there all day; while there I saw a wagon stopped by five men; I could not ee well, as they were at some little distance, but they appeared to be quarreling; I heard angiy words when there was a shot fired; all was then peaceable, and the men went down the road with the wagon and team; at nightfall I found my way (othe house of Dr. rt.ilU. at the Blue Mound. During the three days I waa expose! I had nothing to eat, and took nothing but stagnant water; my side was very pain-

ful and stiff where I was wounded, land 1 wa Very weak; while in the

c imp where 1 was first taken, I heard the men there say thi.t they intended to kill and drive out the Free State men from the Territory; they spoke very bitterly of the battle of Palmyra, some of them having been in it; they were determined t have revenge; they took from me $46 in money, and ihey ha e my team, wagon, and several other articles in it. JOHN A. BAILEY." Bullets or Bibles. The English have a colony in the Southern part of Africa, called the colony of the Cape of Good Hope. This colony has always suffered more or less from its savage neighbers, especially from tbe Cadres, a wild, warlike tribe, with whom it has almost constantly been fighting. Many and many a regiment has been sent to destroy these savages, but powder and balls had little effect, except to increase tbeir haired and ferocity. Great sums of money have been spent to support forts and military forces, in the hope of reducing them to obedience and good manners, but it has been in vain; and now the present gov ernor of the Cape is determined to try another way, and a much cheaper one. What do you think it is ? "Give ihem Bibles instead of bullets," he says; "we must tame them by chtistianixinor them; nothinr else will do ajw " W the work." And he anks the English government to allow him 8I60.00U a year to send and support missionrtries among them, and hw wants the missionary societies of England to give aa much more. "Bible truth." he says, "which teaches men to obey God. love one onoiher, and live virtuously, will make he Caffres peaceable neighbors, and nothing elae will. A line of Christianized Africsns, i stabliabed around the colony, will do more to proteot and defend it than the strongest line of well menned forts can do." And Sir George Gray, for that it the goveinor's name, has tho right of it. There is no kind of work that men engage in which costa so much, and generally makes such poor returns as, as war. And none wiih so cheap an outlay brinif such rich rewards as the spread ol the gospel. Statesmen now are beginning to see this. Each one of the three hundred thousand oldiers around Sebastopol has cost England and Prance lar more than any missionary would have done; and who can doubt that three hundred thousand soldiers of the cross going out to persuade men to love one another, obey God's laws, and live honestly, wonld, with the divine blessing, have dm e far more for the good of the world, than the taking of Sebastopol. and the killing of a half million of men, with all the hatred, vice, want, sorrow, and debt, which tbe war has made. It is both cheaper and wiser to try to make the people act iiüht (hernÜJ - null i . r , i i ii i ii rut h urn Li v lit. w I ill. . There is vastly more power in Bibles) than there is in bullets.

The Giant and Death. There lived once upon a time, a Giant, who was very strong and very kind hearted. Every day he went out seeking what good he might accomplish for men. One morning as he walked fortt., he met one whom he knew aa Death. Death was attended by a female with wild eyes, haggard cheeks, attenuated form, and faltering step, and who moaned incoherently to herself. "Hold. Death," cried the Giant, advancing, ' I must fight with thee today." But Death, as he slowly moved on, replied, "No, I cannot atop; I have- much work to do ere the sun sets." "Thou evil one," cried the Giant, "hold 1 I will at least delay thy footsteps, and retard the desolation thou carriest with thee. I love mankind therefore do I hate thee, tbou fearful one!" But Death only answered, "I must not linger here; many wait for my coming to day and would mourn if I tarried." The Giant again said: "Now, surely, thou liest, for all men fear thee, the evil and the good, and at the distant echo of thy footsteps they wet p snd mourn, and pray to be delivered from thee. When they paint thee, it is always in black, and with horrible countenance. "No," sighed Death, "the 'good do not fear me; they fear, rsther, my servants. One of them is called Fever; she (roes with me this morning. See

Hunger and Cold are twin brother and sister, and always go together. I often bring with me beaulifut pictures of green fields, where the warm sun ever shines, and here the palm trees grow, but cold lays lu r ioy hands upon the heart, and Hunger cries with his loud voice, so that men can see none of the beauti ful visions of promise that I paint. My servants, truly, are fearful. Strive with them if thou wouldst benefit mankind, but trouble not me; for when I come alone, I come very gently. "I cannot striv with thee to day," replied the Giant, "for I feel my strength already wane when 1 speak wi h ihee; vet I would make one request. 1 have a friend, oung, beautiful and pious. I know that thou must come to him one day, as thou dost to all men; but come alone, without ihy fearlul attendants." Death tins wi red, "It shall be as thou wilt; and one thing more I promise thee; I will not go to him until he shall call me himself." Thus they parted, and the Giant gave his young friend all worldly treasure, and rejoiced to behold his happiness.

At a fashionable evening party in one of our large cities, a haughty beauty turned to studint who stood near her, and said! "Cousin John, I understand your eccentric friend L is here. 1 have a very great curioBtiy to see him." The student went in search of him, and found him lounging on the sofa. "Come. L , my beautiful cousin Catharine wishes to be introduced to you." "Well, well, trot her out, John," drawled out L , with an affected yawn. John returned to his cousin, and advised her to defer the introduction until a more favorable time, repeating the answer be had received. The beauty bit her lips, bat replied:

Agreeably surprised at the beauty and commanding appearance of Catharine, L made a profound low bow; but instead of returning it. she raised her eye-glass, surveyed him from head to fot, and then waving the b tck of her hand toward him drawled out "Well, trot him off, John, that'b enough."

I am full of apprehensions for our party. 1 am afeared that Buck is not cute enough. I wish, my dear Bill Brown, that he was as foxy as you are. You noticed that he said to the Keystone club that ho "heartily approved all the platform." Now what necessity was there for thi? There are a few planks in our platform that as little as possible should be said about them in the North. Those fit libuster and pro-slavery resolves were for the slavery extensionists, and not for 'he North; and Buck don't show any gumption in proclaiming to the North in hot haste, when there was no ncces sity for it, that he approves them heartily. One efirr an other is dropping off from our party. Buck haa not the craft in elections that our beloved Joe has. Bill, don't you know what a time we had in forty. We could not get up the excitement. Van Buren would uot rhyme with nothing, and Tip and Ty would rhyme with everything in Ood's creation. 1 fear it will be jist so this year. Buchanan will not rhyme with anything but Shannon, and that won't do in the free States. 1 have tried it, and count myself pretty good at poetry-making, and can't make anything but the following, which Mrs. Pringle nays will not do at all. I want your opinion on its merits: Hurrah for old Jim Buchanan! Wo will aid our faithful shannon I'., crush out abolition -i roe toil, And every tbtug that makee a broil.

"And you are so proud that you can't .bend without breaking your back." "I'll put your head off if you insult me again," "I'll put out your eye if you touch me; remember, youi life hangs on a single thread," said the pin. While they were thus conversing, a liule girl entered, and undertaking to sew, she very soon broke off the needle at the eye. Then she lied the thread around the neck of the pin. and attempting to sew with it. she pulled its head off, and threw it into tbe dirt by the side of the bruktn needle. "Well, here we are," laid the needle.

"Well, I never fear, being introduced."

A Slave Purchased in Plymouth Church, Brooklin. At the conclusion of the sermon on Sunday mornin-, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher announced to his congregation that he was about to per forin an action of a most extraordinary, nature, which be would preface by reading a portion of the l$th chapter of Matthew. He accordingly read the 10th, 11th and 12th verses of that chapter, after which he proceeded to give a sketch of the later history of a alave girl, Sarah by name, an appeal in whose behalfhe had lately received. She wa, he said, the daughter of a Southern planter, acknowledged by himself as his own offspring, and reared in his own family until his other daughters growing up had treated ber so cruelly thitt she attempted to escape. She was captured and taken back toiler paternal master, who made immediate preparations to sell her to the Extreme South, refusing to dispose of her to any one wbo would permit her to remain in the neighborhood. Many persons in be vicinity, knowing her to be a most faithful, efficient, and therefore valuable piece of property, were anxious to purchase he.-, but her owner utterly refused to sell to them, his object being to have her removed to so great a distance that her near relation to the others of his children could occasion them no further mortification. She was, accordingly, sold to a Southern man who held hsrat 81 ,600. but who finally consented to part with her for 01,200. A rlaveholder in Washington, pitying tne gin, Dougnt her lor the latter sum immediately, however, setting on foot a subscription to enable her to purchase her fieedom. he himselt contributing 8100, another man, also a slaveholder, gave 8100, and $700 were finally obtained. "At thi juction," said Mr. Beecher, "1 received a letter asking if toe could do anything toward making up the rest of the money," to which I replied, that 1 would promise nothing unless we could see her here. The reverend gentleman here stepped from his deak, and with an en couraging "Come up, Sarah," he led upon the platform a young, intelligent looking mulatto girl, 'born he preeen led to the crowded audienee as the slave girl in question. She is apparently about twentythree years old, probably three-quarters white, of very pleasing and modest appearance. Mr. Beecher seated her in a ehair by his bid-, while he continued his remarks. She was here. he s lid, on her parole of honor. She had promised to go back, and she must return, either with or without the five hundred dollars which were yet necessary to make her a free wo man. A collection would be taken up, and the result would show their verdict. By this time there was hardly a dry eye in the whole immense congrega tion oi nearly j.uuu people.

nae ncene una never oeen witnesaed in the world. In a Christian land, on the Christian Sabbalh. in the pulpit of a Christian church, by the lips of a Christian minister, a trembling, shrinking woman begged from a Christian people, money to save herself from a life ol slavery and compulsory prostitution. One gentlem tn here rose and announced that t' e money should be forthcoming to make her free, and that if necessr ry he would be personally responsible lor tin- tithe amount. Thin announcement was received with hearty and long continued applause, the Htidience being no longer able to restrain their feelings, and Mr. Beecher exprtsring his approval of the jubi I nit dtmcnttiation. Sarah, the alave girl, had, up to thia lime, preserved a tolerable composure, but when the certainty was declared that she should not go back to a life of Slavery, she buried her face in her handkerchief and wept aloud. As the collectors passed among the audience, the pUtes were actually heaped up with the tokens of substantial sympathy, one la dy even took the jewelry from her j fc The son and caul it into the plate amount collected on the spot was 8784, which, besides completing the sum necessary for the purchase oi Sarah, will also rescue her child, a boy of four years, wbo is now in bondage.

There was a boy among these darkies thai had evinced a strong disposition to move ihiagt when tbey wanted moving, or in other words to pilfer occasionally.

' Now, Jack." aaid Mb master, 'fat here; this machine is to make people tell the truth; and if you have stolen anything, or lied to me, it will knock you down." "Why, masUr," said tbe boy, "I nevei lied, or stole aay thing m mr lifel" 7 "Well, take hold of this." No sooner bad the lad recaived a

slight shock, than he fell on hie and bawled out "Oh. master! I did steal your i and a little knife, and have lttj to yon ever bo many U rases: please to for gib eae!" The same experiment was tried with like success on half a dosen juveniles. At last an old negro who had been looking on very attentively, stepped up. "Master," said he, "let dis nigger try. Dat ar masheen is well enuff to scar de chilien wid, but dis nig knows better." 1 he machine was then fully charg ed, and he received a stunning shoes. He looked fitst at his hands, then at the machine, and at last rolling Bp bit e es. he said: "Master, it ain't best to know too much.
