The Last Shriek for Freedom —An apostle, in one of the famous epistles of the New Testa: ment, says, ‘‘the Crotians are all liars This remark is no less true, : apr 0 the freedom-shriekers o! a . “a aad is filled with mendacious letter writers, who, with the vain hope of electing John C. Fremont to the Presidency, employ their entire time in manufacturing and pub- lishing through their willing organs, the vilest and most unfounded falsehoods that corrupt hearts and fertile imaginations ever conceived. Before the advent into that region of Governor Geary, the marauding exploits of Lane’s hired rebels fcrnished material’ for lying appeals to public sympathy in the dis- tant States. They traversed the country in armed bands, committing every imaginable outrage, which they took good care to publish to the world asthe works of their political adversaries. Their sham fights, in which no- body was injured, were reported as terrible battles, in which dozens of innocent freedom- ites were ruthlessly slaughtered by southern pro-slavery men. Indeed, no species of rascality can be named that was not employed to fill the col- umns of the New York Times, Tribune, and other kindred prints, and to convince the more honest but too credulous adherents of their fanatical tenets that they were the most abused people in the world. There was no limit to the falsehoods to which they earnestly labored to give currency. But all this de- scription of political thunder was silenced by Governor Geary’s dispersion of Lan mous ‘‘ Army of the North,’’ and his driving from the Territory the numerous bands of brigands that had detached themselves for greater and eurer profit from the main body. For a time no more shrieks were heard from bleeding Kansas, and the freedom _jowlers were left without political capital. This condition of things was absolutely ter- rifying. The last plank of the drowning fac- tion had sunk from underthem The Governor had issued his proclamation forbidding any armed and hostile bands from entering the Territory. Lane and his abettors soon learned that he was in earnest and meant to deal ze- verely with whoever should daro to act in Violation of his commands. active and energetic, and his troops were sta- tioned at every available point to prevent further invasions, and make a political battle ground of the Territory he had been sent to A messenger having been dispatched to the Governor, hé met them at Topeka, where’ he Addressed them in regard to the impropriety of theitconduet, and the immense outrage they had committed in entering the Territory under false pretences, and in hostile array, to the terror of peaceable citizens and the endan- germent of the restored quiet of the country. The leaders held down their heads in evident shame and mortification, whilst most of their too willing dupes and victims cheered the Governor magt lustily and sqquiesced in all he asked of them. The whole company then most cheerfully disorganized and dispersed in every direction, leaving Pomeroy, Eldridge, Perry & Co., without an army or the means of doing mischief, or the means of getting up their: contemplated last and most triumphant “shriek’’ before the Presidential contest. The lying letter-writers, however, were not orntent to let the matter pass without an at- tempt to make capital out of it for their ‘* gen- —the election of Fremont; and hence their papers are now teeming with the most villainously false representations of this last great Kaneas outrage against freedom This is their final effort. is but the forerunner of another far more im portant that shortly awaitsthem. Ourcountry is not quite so God-forsaken that a party who can resort to such base means to accomplish an end should be permitted to succeed. The facts on which we base this reached us last night from Kansas direct. They came from a gentleman who was an eye witness of the occurrences we relate, who has no interest whatever in misrepresenting them The Very Last Mare’s Nest '!—The New York Hera/d, through its inde’ of special correspondents, has discovered un alleged intrigue between that ‘‘ terrible fel- low” Forney, and Horace H.

Its upshot is that Day<ells out his political influence—turas it against Fremont—for a pledge from Forney that some patent or other in which Day is interested shall be extended by Congress—as though Forney carries Congress as. well as the Her- ald’s credulity, in his breeches pocket. Herald's correspondent represents Thurlow Weed as having been an agent of Horace H. Day at the last session of Congress to procure the extension of the patent in question, and to have betrayed Day’s interest, whieh dis- posed the latter to play false to Fremont, Ac. Now mark how a plain tale will put down While Congress was in session Mr. Day informed us of his desire to obtain the renewal of some Indiarubber patent in which he was interested, we do not re- member whose; and that Mr. Weed, instead of being bis agent or attorney, was a part pro- priector of an India rubber works company whose opposition to the bill he desired that Congress should pass, was untiring, and Lade And, further, that he dread- ed the influence of Mr. Weed in that matter more than that of any other living man. this story that Mr. Weed betrayed Day, and therefore Day aims to defeat the success of his (Weed’s) political plans, is not worth a pinch of snuff. Their business interests clashed be- fore Congress, where their rivalry was legiti- mate and unmarked by any circumstance not constantly transpiring in this city without the slighteet connection with or bearing on politics We have further to say, that early in Sep- tember in a free conversation (in New York) with Mr. Day upon politics, he expressed to us his apprehensions concerning the sectional influences that had gradually clustered around Fremont, whose election he had favored be- cause he had received the Nerth American party nomination. Hoe further expressed his determination not to support any sectional party, reminding us that we had known him for many years to be one of the most devoted Union men in all the land; and we also an- derstood him as designing to labor with might and main until the 4th of November to re- unite the whole American party in the sup- port of Mr. Fillmore, aa the only real expo. nent of its principles. it will be perceived that the course of Mr. D. is simply in keeping with his views so long since expressed to us. the Hera/d’s correspondent’s revelations about his intrigues as so much balderdash—nothing Tweere o'croce, Mj @THME WIR THEY MAY NOT APPRAR wei. rum waxT DAT SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Unieu publishes doeuments just re- ceived at the State Department from Gov.

The Governor informed them that he was glad to welcowe all immigrants who came with peaceful intentions, and gave them, at their earnest and repeated solicitations, a let- ter to Col P.
