Laxxmtx& IVTootlxate! i The citizens of Richmond and vicinity, are j invited to meet at Starr Hall, on Saturday next, at 1 o'clock P. LI., to take into conside-1 ta.ion the presei.t titration of the citieens o Kan.-as, who are in need of "material aid" j (or the maintenance of their dearest rights. I We hare just road a letter from Mr. Oliver j Barter, (brother of the lamented Thomas! liarlr.r, who was recently murdered by an j officer of the present administration,) who j states thai the Missouri scoundrel "are deterrained to go into Kansas in J I arch, next, and j ir.ro all the Fr;e Stab rcn out, and a? the ;orernment will not iatirpo.-e it authority, v;tiiU froni Kansas Lave been sort to all the j Northern States, to solicit men and money to i repel the invaders." His brother Robert has ' been sent to Ohio for that jurpose, and is now a. Paris. According to the President's ; ilj! age, which we publish oj our first page ; to diy, no aid from the general government! need be expected by the citizens of Kansas, ncd their last reliance for assistance must come from the people of the Suits. . Skarpe's riH -S, as Mr. Tropper, of Kansas, declared at a large pubiic meeting, held in j Cincinnati, on Tuesday evening latr, which' coul 1 be discharged six ttaios iu a minute, and would ktii at a h if a rv.I , "were tho beet peace makers in tho Territory, and they intended with these to prepare themselves to dtfead their home; and before Kansas coul J j be m ide a Slave State, 3,000 of her young; rac:i wj:i!d be cut oir. They had set their stale and made their homes there, and were j bound to defend them against the institution ' of Slavery. Sharpe's rilhos cost about SVj ' eich, and by them the question must now bo ; settled. Kansas men were now in all the free States asking aid. They wished the appoint- j merit of Committees here to collect money : n:id retain in their hands till the Executive: Committee iu Kansas should draw it for their j needs. Large amounts had already been col- j 1 in New York, Boston, Cleveland and, other cities." We hope every man in this city and vicin-j iiv, who is opposed to the extension of Slave- j ry i t our free territories, will go to the meet j ing on SATURDAY NEXT, and aid by his' counsel and money, to stop the further ag-1 gre sions of the slave power. A system that , could induce a slave-mother to murder her; child, (as was done in Cincinnati last week,) ought to arouse every freeman to resist iu fur-j ther extension. j fTWe publish on the first page of our' paper, the President's late Kansas message. , We have no room for extended comment upon it, if indeed, any were needed it speaks fori itself in language which every one may under-; stand, that the President has resolved to sustain, with ail the facial power and influence at his command, the Atchison and Stringfellow rnolwcrats, in their desperate efforts to force Slavery into Kansas, and to crush Freedom out. The only hope now left for Kansas, is the s'rong arms and brave spirits of the sturdy pioneer settlers, unless Congress shall in-1 terpose, and stay the hand of a reckless pro-; s'arery President, in his m3 1 career of folly ! and wickedness. jtyOur neighbor publishes a lengthy com-' manication from his "Man Friday" (Isaac.) ia his last paper, ia regard to the doings at Center ville on tho 27lh; and apologises to his readers for its appearance in that shape, by . telling them he wasn't thore himself ! Wo opine, the thing would have read the same, word for word, editorially, had our neighbor , been present. Then, and iu that case, tho ' writer of the long editorial on our Senior's course in regard to the Speakership, and the writer of the communication, could have had tha one following the other ail the'J would Lav been together! We don't blame you. nsi.rhbor. A norma Link. Oaa, cf South Carolina, can add another link to the chain of valuable services performed by the Northern Democrats to induce South Carolinians to send delegates to the Cincinnati Democratic Convention. The recent vote cast by th united Democracy, North aad South, for Aiken, for Speaker, furnishes that link. He is a South Carolina NullinVr, and the owner of one thousand1 slaves! Surely South Carolina will note send delegates to the Cincinnati "National Democratic Convention;" don't you think so, Jeemes? Probable Peace. The latest news from Europe indicate a peace, and it seems to be founded on a dispatch from Minister Seymour, t St. Petersburg, to the English Government, which says: "Russia agrees to accept the allied proposals as a basis of negotiations." Eatoa aad Hamiltoa R. R. j The annual meeting of tho Eaton & Hamil- J ton K. K. Co. was beld, at the omce oi we Company in Eaton, on Monday, 4th inet.

SHEPHERD, STONE AND COE, Female Lecturers 'on Temperance and Woman's Bights. Oar little city has been for the past week or ten days, quite a field for feminine lecturers, who have been lecturing on Temperance and "Woman's Rights and Wrongs," and we judge, from the crowded houses, they have drawn with considerable success. There is a "seed-time and a harvest," and those who are particularly favorable to these reformatory movements, indulge the hope that the seed sown will produce an abundant crop in the future. Mas. Shepherd, of Wisconsin, delivered two lectures one in the 11. E. Church, and the other in Starr Hall, on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, to crowded audiences.

manson of Mr -wa ightlv woucded iu tlie forehead di-abled. id arm, but not Ti.is important news w:is brought about midnight bvasi-ci-! mesn -er here from Leavenworth, from whom I received the sub joined account of the difficulty and the particulars, of the engagement. After returning trom Lawrence without ccompiishing their openly avowed de'ermina- ' tion of exterminating the northern emigrants , and Free Sta'e Squatters, they avenge 1 dierubelves by destroying the ballot box a. Leaven- j worth, and throwing th press of the Territo- ! rial Ktyi titer iato liie Missouri river. They; threa ened. also, to lynch several of the Free 1 State ni" i, and hang two obnoxious individuals Mr. Warren, a member of th Kansas : legion, and another Mrxm. whom thev csll i tie "i ct corresp Jeiit of the Missouri Democrat." j Since tii it time, ruffianism has ruled Leav- . S enaorth. ller Free State men there are un-! ; armod. and without an experienced leader, ' ; while their proximity to Piat'c county renders j an undisciplined opposition to the mobocrais unavailable. Mr. Slocum, the Fre-; S.a'o Mayor ef Ieavenworth, seeing the impossit iiiiv of restoring order, resigned his olli'-e some time ago. A pro Slavery Mayor wa elected. 'ii.' eh - tion for S ate officers was to be held throughout the Territory on Tuesday lat At Leat-n worth, 1 am informed, the Mayor i-u i a proclamation forbidding tho opening of the polls. This despotic mandate excited great indignation. The judges adjourned the election till Thursday, and appointed it to be held at Eastin. i An armed torce was raised at Leavenworth or in that vicinity, to seize the ballot box. The ' Free State men were informed of ihjir danger and prepared to meet it. Spies brought the intelligence to Leavenworth that the Free, Slate men were arming. They then deter- . mined to take them by surprise and therefore postponed an attack urtil the evening, when they expected to find tho Free State men unprepared and to seize the boliot box without any difficulty. At twiiight, the pro-Slavery men made a charge. About a dozen Free State men 6tood awaiting them but there were twenty others concealed. They then halted at about on hundred yards from the house. They were thirty-five or forty strong the majority on horseback, and all ot them well armed. , Some of the Free State men in the house ', got excited, and rushed out to charge on , the enemy. As soon as the Pro-Slavery men saw their force, they wheeled about and withdrew to some distance. i They then placed a picket guard in the lane that led to the house, and fired on one or two Free State men, who attemp-.' ted to pass it some time afier. Mr. E. P. Brown, a Kentuckian. deter-; mined to put a stop to their interferances. ! With an eiiual number of Free State men, j he marched up to the picket guard. Both! parties presented arms. Mr. Brown told them to surrender or be shot. They sur- i rendered. Four of them were disarmed, the j other, a friend of one of the Free State guard, j was permitted to retain his arms. After this exploit several of the Free State men returned to their homes. Thew thought that the Pro-Slavery men had left. About' two o'clock as Mr. Stephen Sparks, (of Rush : county, Indiana.) was on his way home in company with his son and nephew, they were pursued by a company of fifteen mounted men, who ordered them to halt and surren- t der. They refused to do so, retreated to a fence and prepared to defend themselves. : The nephew, who was on horeh ii k. galloped back to Eastin and informed Mr. Brown of , the situation of his friends. Mr. Brown with j fifteen men, marched to rescue them and arrived before they were arrested. Both par-! ties moved on to a cross-road where the Pro- j Slaverv men Wero reinforced. I Thf-y parted, but before they had gone far j several t-hots were fired into the ranks of the ; Free State company. An engagement ensued, i Volley after vc'dey was rapidly exchanged. ; The combatants then retrea'ed to two houses, j at rifle-shot dis'ariee and kept up a constant j fire for five or ten minutes. One Free State! man. with a Sharpe's rifle, lay down behind a snow bank and fired at every man of the op t posite party who dared to s'iow himself. The ' firing was kept v.;, r.n'il both parties were ex-: htitiste J, when the Free S'n'e men withdrew; to Flastin. The ballot box in the niaitime. had b'-tn secured .v.: d carried out cf town by j or.e of the v'.ii. On the following morning, as Mr. Brown ; was returning alone to Leavenworth, he was: overpowered by f.n armei force nnd arrested, j Mr. Minard. another Free State man. who j had also made himself obnoxious by his con- j duct on the previous evening, was arrested , during the forenoon. The Pro-Slavery men t : announced ti.eir determination to hang both : ' of them, as soon as two men of their own 5 conipacv, who ere mortallv wounded, should i die. ' ! Riders were dispatched to every part of the ! Territory, to f.t.n -urce tne 0 anger oi u.e j pr s mer, and obtain forces to rescue them. ; The rr.ess'ir.ger arrived here at midnight. A Council of safety was held immediately, ' ar. l horsemen were dispatched in every di- j rec'-ion. to col'.-ct fvices for the rescue of the j Frc-e Sate rr.en of Leavenworth, who are; threatened with destruction.

In relation to the matter, the Herald cf Freedom, of the 19th ul:., holds the following !a'ig',ige: We are positively aur. d that it has been determined upon to arrest every member of the State GoernuHnt wheitn g-es into opera ion on the 4 h of Mirt h next; and that Mr. Jones is already making arrangements for his posse again in advance from Missouri. If another party from that State comes here oa such an expediton, we hope to Heaven not a person will bo allowed to return to tell th tale of their extinction. They should be shot down like wild beasts, and their bonw allowed to bleach in the sun for centuries, t warning to future invaders We hope further, that if the Governor of Missouri will allow a foray c f vagabonds from that Slate lomake inroads upon a peaceful, urioiferiding neighbor, that the citizens of adjoining State will come to the rescue, and teach them that both parties can play at the same game of war. We have been harrassed. and put to the expense of thousands on thousands of dollars to protect our people from outrage, and stiil they are shot downi cold blood, withoutanr offense, save differing in opinion on a political iueiion. Unless Congress 'nterferes immediately, and puts a ; stop to the gathering storm, so true as a God of infinite justice rul. the world, so true a war such as never wai dreamed of upon the American comment will open upon us with all its horrors. The people of sixteen State, and embracing threefourths of the free population of the Union are never to remain quiet lookers on and e their sons and brothers slain in cold blood oa the plains of Kansas. The blow once struck the shock will recoil upon Missouri, sod tli end, who can tell? THE OTHER SIDE. From the Kansas Herald (pro-slavery) w extract the following : BLOODSHED. We learn that on Thursday night, a conflict enued between the Abolitionists arid ProSlavery men, at the town of Eastin. H miles West of this place. One of the Pro Slavery party, a man by the name of Cook, was killed. It grew out of the election that the Abolitionists were holding for State officers. Failing to hold the election on the day appointed, Tuesday, they postponed it to Thursday, and the result has been the shedding of blood. Our city authorities very properly put down the election here, but the Abolitionists, determined lo carry out their treasonable and revolutionary movements, assembled at Dawson's store, on Stranger Creek, and there have committed all sorts of violence. Ho long will these outlaws be permitted to gouapunished. From the Western Reporter, (pro slavery) wh extract the following: The Foliar. There are some persons in this county who are pro-slavery, and who d not approve of that wild and blind policy, iaaugura'ei by Atchison and Stringfellow. They believe that the policy of this class of pro-slavery men are doing more to abolitkmixa Kan-as than any other class, and hence it i tha'. so large a portion of the people of thU county have thrown Atchison. .S,ringf-llo, t Co. overboard.
