Another Invasion;
. . . .' . , ,
' . Rev. Mr'. Stb,wap.t, ,a gentleman of
i;)iteljigecce ad-veracity, who hus
(Own .traveling through ' the border
. uquaties of Missouri, and just return
ed from a trip of considerable length
j$n that direction, says thnt ho saw
.,fojd ,he,Td evidence everywhere on
j hi urate; conclusive to him that
; preparations are again making in
' Missouri to invade Kanzas in Octo
' ber, with the view of participating in
. our Territorial elections. If this in
, tho design, unless Gov. Walker
takes o it, dent means to preserve the
purity of the ballot-box, the people
of Kunzaa will. Wo havo no throats
nor bluster, but tho people of Mis
souri must be taught that they have
interfered in onr elections ; for tho
. last time. , Unless Gov. Walker gives
tho people full assurance thnt tho polls
shall be fully protectod in October we
hopo tin pooplo will continuo to pre
pare themaolves for a warm reception
of the invaders. We have not be
liovod that there would be any further
interference on the part of Missouri
; in our elections, and now we are firm
in the conviction that Gov. Walker
will head off the movoment, and yet
we are satisfied an attempt will bo
onade to perpetuate powor as they havo
done in the pust. The villainous ap
portionment, by which every district
but one was bounded by Missouri,
shows that Johnson and Matthias had
another invasion in view, and that
they apportioned the Territory with
a view to it. 'Herald of Freedom.
Kanzas and Her Culminatorg.
In addition to tho letter published
recently from Gen. Atchison, wo beg
leave to say to our readers, that from
other letters received from Kanzas,
we are informed that tho pro-slavery
party in Kanzas is resolute in its de
termination of making Kanzas a
Slave State. In consenting to be
come a Democratic party, the pro
slavery men did not mean to abandon
their policy, but to lift the minority
it placed with them to their support.
On tho 21st day of last month they
were confident of success, and would
form a Constitution with Slavery
acknowledged in it. If this Consti
tution is referred to the people for
ratification, it is intended to refer it
only to the registered voters, who
will doubtless ratify it. Wo have
more hopes of Kanzas than we have
evor had. Wo have great faith in'
the fighting capacities of Southern
. man. Charleston Mercury.

"A subscriber writing from Law

tice in your Reporter as to its true

"Its truo valuo is nothing. It
never had a quotation in tho body of

Governor Chase on the Union." ""
v ' 1' ' ! ; il i if ' " ' ;
' G6vl.vChaso, ,of Ohio, in reply to
Mayor Swann,' at a grand banquet to
the western visitors recently given by
tho city of Baltimore, said : ; '
".You have spoken eloquently, ir,
of railroads as bonds of union,' and
your observations were as just as they
were eloquent. No man conversant
with railroads can be a disnnionist.
The social intercourse which they
foster, the tics of business which they
create, the mutual dependence vfhich
thoy establish and exhibit, make dis
union impossible. There must, of
course, be difference of opinion on
some points. Real grievances may
from timoto time demand redress.-
But there is no evil of which disunion
is the proper cure. And the more we
see of each other, the less likely shall
we bo to commit the error of think
ing otherwise. The fact is that we
who live along the line of the Amer
ican Central Railway don't mean to
let this Union bo broken up. Mary
land will not consent to it, I think. -I
trust Virginia will not. . Ohio I am
sure will not. Nor Indiana, nor Il
linois, nor Missouri. Who, then,
will ? No, sir. We may differ hence
forth, as we have done heretofore.-
We will maintain our respective
opinions and positions with candor,
courtesy, firmness and resolution.
And we will refer whatever question
may be between us to the great Amer
ican tribunal of popular discussion
and popular judgment. But in time
to come, as in the time past, we cleave
to the Union as our ark of refuge,
and, under God, our surest guaranty
of prosperity and powor and abiding
glory."
Freemen's Champion. A few days
ago, we received copies of a new pa
per recently started in Prairie City,
Kanzas, by S. S. Procty. From a
former relation which we had with
tho young publisher, his paper pos
sesses a peculiar interest, for us, and
from the spirited manner in which
it is conducted it would bo a welcome
visitor to all who wish to keep them
selves posted in Kanzas affairs. , It
is thoroughly independent in . tono,
and advocates the claims of tho Free
State settlors with earnestness and
zeal. We wish, a long lifo to the
Champion, and a large measure of
prosperity to its publisher.- Fulton

KNICKERBOCKER FOR 1857.
IMTRODUCTIOH OT PORTRAITS O
American Authors.
' In addition to tho varied talent
now employed by the Knickerbocker
Magazino, tho author of tho " Spar
row Grass Papers," will be a regular
contributor this year. His first con
tribution appeared. in tho January
number, and was accompanied by a
splendid portrait, engraved on steel.
Wo shall give other portraits du
ring the year, and make the Knicker
bocker better than it ever has beou.
KOTICKB 0.F THlt '.PRESS.'
'V, Without detraction from any of
tho contemporary monthlies, we think
the Knickerbocker the liveliest of
them all. It has moro conipnnlonae
blsness, more sui-genore-ness, mar
wittinoss, more rclhctiveness, more
mirth-provokativenesH, than any oth
er American magazine." Indepen
dent Dem., Concord, N. II.
" That any ono who has the sense
to subscribo for this gem of the
' magus,' can bo weary of the world
is impossible Wo consider a house
in the country, with lime to road the
Kniuk, and money enough to pay for
it punctually, among our most cheer
ing anticipations for the future."
Pittsburg Dispatch.
"Everybody knows that the Knick
erbocker does not have a lino of prose
that is not worth reading. But eve
rybody does not know that the anec
dotes hd tit-bits that wo copy every
month from its pngoj are not a cir
cumstance to what remains behind."
Boston Post. , :

peronnial, for it is over blooming and
fresh. It numbers among its contrib
utors some of the most able writers
of the country. We, never yet saw a
