[Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican } Lawrence. K. T., Dee. 8, 1857. The Convention came off yesterday, n- nounced in my letter of yesterday. The num- bers upon the ground@was variously estimated from one thousand to fifteen hundred, and some here even estimate it at two thousand, though I think it did not exceed twelve han- dred| They were mostly from Lawrence, Big Springs, Tecumseh, Topeka and Leavenworth, though [ noticed quite a number from localities as remote as Burlingame, Emporia, Centropo- lis, &e. It was designed as a mass convention, and it was passed off very well as such. Con- sidering the inclement weather and bad roads. I was disappointed to see so many there. As usual, Gen. Lane was the principal man- ager, though Dr. Robinson presided. The Teso- lutions re-endorsed those of the Delegate Con- vention, and agreed to abide by and carry out. iw the letter, the laws which should be enacted bs the Legislature about convening. I was not able to procure a copy of them. As the procession entered Lecom ton, from Lawrence, preceded by a brass hand and a na- tional flag, they were met by the Topeka and Tecumseh Delegation, led by martial music and a national flag, on which was inscribed, in large letter: The old Banner, the Free Con- stitution.” As the two delegations met, they exchanged cheers and entered town, where, on arriving, three cheers were given for the To ka Constitution, three ans for the ‘ Le- eompton Swindle,” (as they branded the Le- compton Constitution) and three cheers for Gov. Stanton. Gen. Lane read from letters written to Gov. Stanton, showing that the Free-state party was _—— to submit no question to the peo- je but the Lecompton Constitution ; that ov. Stanton would not have convened an ex- tra session session of the Legislature, but in consequence of the positive agreement to limit the Ly ation to that act; and that any move- ment beyond that was an act of bad faith to the Acting Governor. Let me say here, that this is the first pledge ever given by Lane which he ever showed any intention to fill, and in this instance I am sorry to say that his quibbling shows that he is anything else than an honest man. @ Robinson did not show a willingness to stand up to bis pledge, as in fact but few of the speakers did. I think, however. that they will be compelled to do so, as a majority of the Council and a large number in the House seem inclined to go slow. C. Hoagland. Esq., of Tecumseh. who was standing ueer a tree, was run against by some Spirited horse, and was very dangerously in- jared, though hopes are entertained of his recovery. Iiis skull is supposed tu be frac- tured No violence oceurred. G. W. Brown was upon the ground, and Jones was heard repeat- ly to threaten that he would cow-hide him. but his friends led Jones repeatedly from the und. It was well. fur hundreds went there urning with a desire to wipe out old seores against Jones. and the first improper move- ment on bis part would have been the signal for an attack—not on him only, but on those friends who have co operated with him im the past.
