The Representative branch, fresh from the people, . . . , , c . , ' mv ua ti tl,.vi t.nl tl a SpnaLc must be "'-J . purged still further of the northern doughfaces who continue to misrepresent their con stituents, fawning all tlte while upon the President, begging office, like hungry dogs wagging their tans anu looking wi..uuuy iu . their master a iace, momentarily expecuug him to chuck them a bone. Governor Shannon passed by the city of Lawrence on the 14 tL Sept. without stoppingOn bin return a committee waited upon him nd politely requested him to address the people, who had assembled to hear him. He abruptly declined to favor their request, and soon !ft the place. It is said that his conduct produced a decided impreuion on the people. The fact that a large majority of the citizens of Lawrence are free-soilers, will furnish a key to his actions. The Post master at Atchison has eommenreturniriff free-soil papero, directed to sub-

cribers at hia office, refusing to hand them rambling apparatas of all kinds auctioneers of nt to the proper persons. He professes to all gerts swearing of the latest style blackact undjr the late edict of the mob legislature guarding of the most filthy fashion swaggering nr. hibitinir the circulation of "iucendiary pub- ef the tallest eat, could be een and heard all

licatious." This P. M. is himself editor of the Squatter Sovereign one of the most incendiary sheets in all the land. The post office law imposed a fine of five huadred dollars aud six months imprisonment for refusing to deliver any mail matter received at a post of lice for distribution. Will the P. M. General enforce the law in this instance? We'el see. Col. J. II. Lane formerly member of Counress from this state, now a resident of Kansas, a practising lawyer for twenty years, and regularly edmitted to practice in the U. S. Supreme Cou'rt, applied for admission to practice in the U. S. District Court of Kansas, but refuting to take an oath, in addition to that usually requited, to tuttain the acts of the mock Legislature, he was peremptorily rejected by Judge Lecompte. Thus it will be seen that petty tyrants rule over the freemen of Kansas, and will in all probability continue to do so until a radical change shall take place in the political complexion of Congress and the administration. The election lor Delegate to Congress took place on tho 1st inst. Gen. Whitefield the pro-slavery candidate was elected by a very large majority. Ex-Gov. Reeder was the opposing candidate but his friends did not turn out generally. A serious and fatal disturbance occurred at Leavenworth on the day of tho election. A set of uncouth, drunken brawling rowdies had come ver from the other side of the rivr, and before the Missouri mud was dry on their boots marched to the O polls and voted. With rides in their hands dirks in their belt and bottles of whiskey in ' their pockets, they swaggered around the polls cursing and swearing like incarnate fieuds, threatening violence upon the "d d abolitionists." The free-state men prudently kept away from the polls, but the rowdies passing through the streets, attacked a peaciblo citizen because he refuted to vote, threatening to tar and feather him. He knocked down one of his assailants and run up street, the rowdies after him, but finding they could not overtake him they commenced firing on him; one ball went through his hat, missing his head, and passed through the walls of a: clap-board house instantly killing a child that T!a r iB v ui. uwn .-i.ioki.ri ui ciuzen was brutally assaulted in the street, j knocked down and stabbed. The citizens, to the number of about one hundred, then arm- ; d themselves and pursued the murderous! rascals, who fled to the river as fast as their cowardly leg eonld carry them. They esca ped to the other side before they could receive their just deseru from the hands of an indig-j nant people!

every thing passed off very pleasantly. Not much, however, is said to the credit of the outtide exhibition was that 'not in the bills' & we are told was a perfect medley of viee and immorality around the enclosure, and Captain Whisky had a fair swing, and completely commanded many of the outsiders, aided by Lieatenaat Ale and Corporal Beer. Taking this Fair as a whele, it was ttrikingAj peculiar raasy tights having- occurred on the grouad and in the regions round about. Several who were in attendance, expressed themselves to ns as being entirely satisfied, and hoped to "never look upon its like again V The proprietors, however, are not blame for the bad conduct of eutside they aimed to get up an entertainment on a scale of "magnificence un paralleled," and, if the weather had permitted, they would have made a hit ef it; but it was not thus so to be as the sequel proved, fer the raia descended and the mud came and plastered np their calculations. The good order en the inside of the enclosure, we heard attributed to the nntiriar watchfulness or the Prtble Rifles a company ef stalwart eeldiera from Eaton, Ohio.

He brought it home, and on inquiring foand and restored it to the owner It seems that the owner, Eli Johnson, who was attendiug the Yearly Meeting ef Friends iu this city, had the trank strapped on the hind part of his buggy, and whilst eomicg through the bridge, it is apposed some scamp, with the benevolent purpose of casing the hone from a load and tM3ltinS the straps that secured it t the kuggy, and then conveyed it to the ont-of-way place where Mr. K. discovered it. We understand that aotbiag was missed excepting a : plug of tobaccothat indispensable comforter and jucy companion ef the weary traveler, was : extracted from the trunk aforesaid, aad ere this present writing-, it has probably been "used np" its strength exhausted, and the beaatifid plu -ified . propertiont thereof me aided into unseemly, yel-: lowish balls, and cast away as worthless.

Strange to ! relate, none of the passengers were seriously i injured. The engineer was considerably cut ; and bruised, but is now thought to be out of dan How be and those with him on the engine, escaped immediate death, is the won- i der of all who have visited the scene. The , locomotive aud cars still are lying in the bed of the creek, a complete wreck. This accident was no doubt unavoidable so : far as the engineer was concerned, and is one rienced and prudent managers of rail road trains, they will sometimes run over stock if . tho track is left free for them to get upon it. The safety of passengers demands that the road should be speedily fenced. The expense should not be considered for a moment, when so many valuable lives are at stake. It would even save money to the Company in the end. The damage sustained by this accident could not probably be repaired much short of $10,000. A few moreof a similar kind would cost enough to fence the road several times over, especially if the Company should be compelled to foot a heavy bill of damages for personal injuries to passengers. United States vs. James Collier. This su;t which has for a long time been pending in the U. S. District Court of California, has 1 lately been decided, and the accounts being legally and fairly adjusted, it was found that the Government owed Mr. Collier about 1 $8,000. It will be recollected that Mr. C. j was Collector of the Port of San Francisco, j Cai., under the laylor and r ilimore admimst ration, and was turned out on the charge of defalcation. A great hue and cry was raised against him at the time, and the locofocos exulted gieatly in the prospect of having I "scared up" a real live Whig defaulter. They even charged that he had stolen Government , funds to the amount of Sj?700,0.0. The Government sued him for $100,000, and lo! the above is the result.

The Kaasas Criminal !.a.

We some week since published a law of the Kansas Legislature, providing the punishment ef death for numerous offences against Iave property, and imprisonment in the penitentTj f0"r discussing the propriety of making Kansas a slave State, as discussion is expressry ; provided for in the act of Congress, called the "Kansasebraska Act " The tallowing e The followinccomments ; from th North East Reporter, publisht al Trenton. Missouri, show how the act of the Legislature is viewed in teat locality: : We "doubt whether the whole history of legislation can pretest a parallel to this code. legislation can preient a parallel to this code. so far as relates to severity of the penalties. ;. Blood, blood seems to be written in every line; ' and Freesoilisro considered to be the extreme point of human depravity to the advocates of which no mercv can be extended. The 1 hona, oninued and oii-repeated wrongs in-; flicted upon the people of the South by the in-i cndiarie of Abolitionism, have, no doubt, had their effect in the p.vsage f the lawa in : ouestion. But or neighbors of Kansas should remember that thev are not onlv enactinglaws , for tha present emergency, but establishing a precedent which is to etfect the interests of their commonwealth for all time to come. .No just man will fail to give a hearty sanction to a law which inflicts condign punishment on ' anv person interfering or tampertnz witn slaves in a manner calculated to induce them to rebel or abscond; but when the penally is death, few will take pleasure in seeing it executed. The 12th and 13th sections of the law ia question we regard as particularly objection- ' able. We cannot see how a body of eolight-' ened law-givers, with the recollection of having taken a solemn oath to support the Constitution of the United States, could enact a low utterly contrary to the bill of riehts, and condemn a fellow -citizen to incarceration iu , the rvenitentiarv. rnerelv for the expression of n opinion on a matter of public policy a matter, too. whic h is now the all-absorbing theme of discussiou both in Congress and out of it. We would not be understood as opposing I the enactment of laws for the punish-' nientol abolition incendiaries. Our objection to the present code is founded upon a convic- : tion that the severity ot the penalties will operate as a serious lunderance to its cxecution, and that its provisions must consequenty remain a dead letter on th statuie book.
