The next governor was Denver, a Platte County man, recently from California, a noted duellist there, whose character and conduct in that country secured for him the terrible title of the Butcher. The Butcher, however, came too late, anh as she was, and poor and ruffianly as they were, not one of them accepted the offer.

I might prolong to an unendurable extent this list, black — and still blackening as it lengthens — of the ruffianly recipients of official rewards for vile deeds done in the unhappy territory, which has so long been the victim of the Slave Power's lust; but which, recently — thank God--proved itself not unworthy of its illustrious and free Puritan descent, by spurning so unceremoniously and so firmly the bribe that was held up beneath a threat to reduce it But with another instance I will close it, referring those of you who would learn the entire length, and the depth, and the breadth of it, to consult the ensanguined chronicles of Kansas, which are strewed with similar and even more deplorable outrages. There was, and yet is, a wealthy firm in Leavenworth, who have thousands of men in their employ. They established a branch of <

Who has not heard of Colonel Emory--a man notorious — the husband of a woman who once offered to a company of South Carolina ruffians, to marry any one who would bring her the scalp of a Yankee! Rich as she was, and poor and ruffianly as they were, not one of them accepted the offe that noble and heroic martyr whom, also, he had so brutally massacred. For these services, and for loaning his horses — for he kept a livery stable — to the South Carolina ruffians, he was appointed the comptroller of the Land Office at Ogden. Thus: the murderer of Phillips, as well as every man who had outraged his person a yend the war was resumed. The territory was covered with guerillas, gangs of highwaymen, horse-thieves, and house-breakers from Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.

derers of Barber and other Northern martyrs. This jury was packed by Sheriff Jones--thirteen pro-slavery to three Free-State men. The jury became a caucus, the pro-slavery members making abusive speeches against all the Free-State leaders as Massachusetts paupers; and then found indictments against several prominent citizens for the crime of high-treason and usurpation of office. Lecompte (at the same time) issued writs for the destruction of the Free-State Hotel as a nuisance. The only ev few days after the publication of the paper, Mr. Kagi again visited Tecumseh, for the purpose of reporting the proceedings of the court, then in session there. Judge Elmore advanced towards him, and asked — just as the assassin Brooks asked Massachusetts' great senator on a memorable occasion, when prepared to perpetrate a similar outrage--Is your name Kagi Hardly had the word Yes, been uttered, before Kagi was rendered nearly insensible, stunned and blinded by a savage blow on the head from

Southern California. In Kansas, after his appointment as mail contractor, he signalized his devotion to Democracy by ordering a quiet Free-State German to be shot down, like a dog, in the streets, for expressing his disapprobation of the murder of Phillips, that noble and heroic martyr whom, also, he had so brutally massacred. For these services, and for loaning his horses — for he kept a livery stable — to the South Carolina ruffians, he was appointed the comptroller of the Land Office at Ogden. Thus: the murderer of Phillips, as well as every man who had outraged his person a year before, has been rewarded with government offices. The press has not been forgotten. Three Free-State offices in Kansas have been destroyed by violence--two by order of Judge Lecompte and the official posse of the United States Marshal; one (the Leavenworth Territorial Register, a Douglas Democratic paper), by a legally organized Territorial militia company — the same men who so savagely butchered R<

p us often, and fed us well. Nobody but an old villain would have treated poor old mother so, after she had worked for him so long and faithful. Campbell would always make us take our own part, even against his own young one, or anybody else's: he would n't allow anybody to whip us except himself. Maria was sold to a man named Phelps. The Congressman? I asked. No, she said, sneeringly, not that old Phelps: he was not smart enough: this Phelps lived north of Estelle's Mills, near Clinton. She was not treated like human-she was treated like a dog by both of them. I saw her once at Phelps's; she was twenty-one or twenty-two then. But we did not get much chance to talk; I staid there only a few minutes. She told me she was treated very badly; she looked broken-hearted, poor thing; she was n't clad decent; she had not a shoe to her feet. I saw the marks of the whip on her neck, and shoulders and arms. Poor child! it made me sad to see her. She had two young ones: but I d

eived the government patronage, and printed the United States laws. The Herald, published at Leavenworth, although neither so honest in expression, nor violent in policy, was equally Satanic in its conduct. It slandered the murdered Free-State martyrs and the Free-State cause; and by its insidious misrepresentations and appeals did more than any other journal to prolong the troubles in Kansas. Its editor-in-chief was appointed Brigadier-General of the militia; its associate editor and Washington correspondent was rewarded with a consulship; and the paper has been the official organ of the administration in Kansas, the publisher of its laws and its bribery advertisements, from its establishment till now. Its present associate in these advantages is the Herald of Freedom, which has been rewarded with the government patronage ever since its attacks on the Republican party. It is to the credit of the Free-State men that since they obtained the power, both political and of the mo
