On Monday eveniog they arrived at the Wabarwa river, where they were met at the ford over that river by guards stationed there by Gen, Strickler, the commander of the forces calied out by the Governor of Kansas to support Sherif Jones. in execution of writs ip his possession and for other Pre Upon giving the countersign with which they been supplied, thay were allowed to pass. Their course being in the directi xa of the town of Lawrence, the guard told them that the abolitionists woulc not’ allow them t> enter that town, Nothing dauntec at this, they parsued their course and entered the town of Lawrence a little before sundowa oa ae cecsata were And wit peopl, The constitution by the bogus Topeka Convention was just bei peed and Waueributed. To this fact, it is probadie, Be were indebted for the privilege of entering the tow: ‘Thele approach was probably unooserved, and they drove right up into the centre of the place. 1a.a moment they were surrounded bysome four or five hundred men, ail armed, and who rue uneasy and excited at theie sud- <ten appearance. Upoa inquiry they were shown toa public house, wheze ubey were told they could stay, and when they got out of their carriage the aboitionists crowded eround and wanted to know who they wore, where they came from, an¢ what they wauted. These question: ‘were apswered—they were trom Lexington, Mirsouri, and they had come into the Territory to see what all the fuss ‘was about, and what was goiag on. They had not come to make any disturbance, bus were peaceable men, and intended to rpen» the night in the town. The subject of existing troubles immediately bessme the subject of con- versation, avd a Mr. Holliday said he thought all the dit ficulty arose from a tnisunderstanding, and asserted that Coleman way'aid Dow and shot him. Our friends asked them what they intended doing, and what ther were ex- citedabout. ‘Tbe abolitionists answered that they wors excited and aroused at the eu! + which had been com- mitted, ond at the arrest Branacn.

During the oon- tipuance of 1) con¥ersations, our friends incidentally learned that a public meeting was about to be held, aud were in the act of starting to attend the meeting, when Mr. Lighter heard one of his norses whianying. ” Beit matched horses, and always accustomed to stand er, he suspected had been separated, and that was the cause of his horses’ uneasiness. He waa not deceived, for on going ont, one horse was gone, ande»ald not be found about the premises. It was now nearly dark, and in passing along the street Mr. L. thought he recognized his horse in the possession of holitioniat, who was deliberatély riding him off. An examination of the horse satisfied him’ that he was correct, and he told the Yider that {t was his horse, and requested him to ge! down. The abolitionst replied that he was mistaken—that it was not hia horse, and intimated in his manner that he would not give the horse up. Mr. L. asserted that it was his horse, when the abolitionist “Well, what are going to do about it!” Without further ceremony, tr. Lightner ordered him to dismount, which he did very prompt.y, but alleged that he had got the horse b; mistake. rider, with his sade, was uncerem on! ously left in the street. The sbolitionist may have been wis-aken, but one thing is clear, toatif Mr, Lightner had been’ two minutes later, he would never have seen that horse agsin, After ths they went to the meeting, but were too late ‘to hear the resolutions read, nor coud they find ont thetic purport. As fur as they could gather, the object of the meeting appeared to be, to urge all the citizens of the town t> ni the military companies which had beon formed, and to report themselves by 8 o’elock next morn- Several speeches were made, and al! burdene! with abuse of the border ruffians. Ons person was called for, ‘whose name they could not remetuher, aud who in re- sponse raid be had just come up from Kansas, that be had been sick on ‘the way, (here he chuckled and Janghed in a knowing way, as'much as to say he had feigned sickness;) that he was sick ata certain house, which he would not name, as there were spies in the meeting who would report his remarks to tus camp be- low. At that house, in this way, he said he had learned the desigas of the pro-slavery army, as given by their own men—they were going to burn Lawrence, murder the men, ravish the women, and kill the chil- dren. At the ford of the Wakarusa river ho said he found ‘the guards and sentinels of the eaemy s‘ationed, aad told how he succeeded in passing them. He did not ‘know the countersign, and theretore rode up boldly, and without fiving the sentinel opportunity to demand it of hla, he said to him, “Why don’t you ask me the countersign?”” ‘which Jed the guard to suppose that he was all right, and they therefire let him pass He said he had been told he could not enter the camp of the enemy, but he had deter- mined to try it, and rode up to the camp, where he was met what he would call a greennorn, and whom he suet im convincing that he was all right, by arking him this question: “How many men heve we hore! * From this man he said he learned that the furce under Geveral Strickler did not exceed 250 men, that about 50 had deserted that day, and 100 more would desert that night, when a)l the decent men ia the ranks of the enem: would be gone. The men under Strickler received full share of abuse at bis hands. He sald they were young demons from bell, drunken rowdies, clerks, counter hop- pers and apprentices; that some were riding horses, some mules, some jackasses, and some jackasses rode’ jack- ames. He thought the men of Lawrence ety own with pop-guns and squirts end capture the whole squat of them. Here the rebel became grandiloquent, and antl be hed enlisted for the war, and oad come to Lawrence to fight. “Tha rock shall fy From its firm pase as soon as I.’” With this ebullition of traitorous patriotism toe rebe sat down. In justice to some of the people at the meet- ing, it in proper to state that a number of perxons were ‘heard to say that the speaker was a d——«| fool. Atter the meeting adjourned, afeasrs, Limrick and Lightner went round to the different stores, where they many discussions and conversations. There seemed to be but one sentiment prevailing—e determi- nation to resist the laws of the Territory. During the night the town was in commotion. Men paraded the streets, and horsemen were riding to and fro all night. In the morning, at an early hour, the drams were beaten and the troops commenced drilling om the prairie. After dinner there were on drili seven companies of infantry, numbering about fifty mer eacn, and one com- pany of drsgoona. ‘The infantry were armed with Sharp's rifles, and all seemed to be in effective preparation for war. There were, perhepa. 200 men in the town who ‘wore not in the drill, and their whole force amounted to perhaps 600 wen, which Mr. Holliday said could be ia- creased to 1,200 at an hour's notice. This, our friends thought, was mere brag, as the abolitionists showed evident signs of a Gisposition to maguify their force ‘when they were ubont. Lawrence is beauti‘ully situated in a valley, ant is commanded by a range of hills on the southwes¢ side, from whence it could easily be battered down by ertillery without coming in range otriffle shot. There is ia the town a large stone house, three stories high, and one hundred by eighty feet rquare, This building’ has been turned into a fort, and iy the only defence of the place. There ave no breastworks thrown up, no> trenches dug as was first reported, During the day of Tuesday, and before going to see the rebel abolition army at drill, our friends wen* to Lecomp- tem, Here they found about three hundre’ mea under tae cowmand of General Richardson, awaiting the orders of the Governor. Here, too, they met Colemgp, who killed Dow, and who, as we bave since learned, wa on thet day acquitted of all crime in that matter. They speak of him ak a modest and gentelmanly man. Here, too, they met with General Stringfellow and his brother, Sheriff Jones, Colonel Issacs, Captain Garrison, and others. On their ‘way up to the town they met General Clark, Indian agent for the Pottawattomie tribe, who told them that his life and property had been threatened, by the abolitionists, that he had been forced to keep his house under gnard, and bad finally been compelled to send his familly ut of the Territory. From Lecompton, our friends returned to Lawrence, and late in the evening went down to Blue Jacket’s place, on the Wakarusa, where they met with Mosers. James Hicklin, William Ish, Colone! John Read, Joseph Mcrtland, L.A. Maclean, and others from Lafay- etfe, and Uolonel Chiles and A. Itenwick from Jackson. From B.ue Jacket’s they went t» the camp of the men under Gen.

These, adited to ¢ at le compton and at the Wakarusa camp, will make seven pieces, one of them being a 24 pounder. ‘The forces under Gen.

The Independence Mexsenger of Saturday, Dec. 8, bas the following from the seat of war:— Since the issuance of our last paper our streets have been filled with mea, who are on thelr way to Kansas, to ive aid to the authorities in enforcing the Territoriat wa.

Should this be true it is probsble that terms will be made without turther trouble Governor Shannon telegraphed to the President mak- mgs requisition of the goverament troops at Fort Lea- venworth. and we learn he has received an anawer that they will be at his disposal, and that orders were sent by a special messenger with a view immediately of calling them into service. Thia, we apprehend, w have been food ant nadia Foire step to have taken at the com mencement. ere are one thoasand men. in govern: ment service at Leavenworth, who, if they had been esil- ed upon, would baye come in aid of the law, and prevent. ed any resistance to its enforcement. From « gentleman who left the camp at Wakarusa yes. terday at noon, we learn that there had been no fighting up to that time. The le of Lawrence had sent in to Cov, Shannon and 1 to capitalate, but denied that any of the wen in rescuing the prisoner from the Sheriff were in the city. It \s understood that the Gover: nor deans all of the arms of the Yankees to be given up. If sowe terms were not agreed upon yesterday, the town was to be attacked this morning.

Mott, and several other persons are ualer arrest in the pro-slavery camp. The pro-slavery party commands seven pieces of artillery—six pounters. The probable force in Lawrence, from persanal observation, numbers 5000—that is soldiers armed with 300 of Sharp’s rifles, onefpiece of artillery certain, and probably more.

Mac- AD Herapguarrens, Camp oy Wakarusa, Dec. 5, 1855. It is needless for me to give you half the camp rumors flying around. My own impression is that we will no! fight. though if you ask me why, 1 could not tell; nor do I see how these men can be restrained. Our feree here is under four hundrea. The enemy are wel armed, fighting for their homes and altar, and will be a foemen worthy of our steel. Should we cross swords there will be sad hearts in Lafayette.

Harney, who, as our readers have been already advised, ie now at Fort Pierre, previous to bis departure from Fort Laramie, made a demand upon the Sioux of the Platte for the murderers of the mail party. He stated that he had already visited punishment upon them for the murder of Lieutenant Grattan and his command, but that, as preliminary to any condittons of peace, he mast have delivered to him those Indians who committed the murder above alluded to, as also the murderers of Gibson, After his departure from Fort Lamurie, the Indians, consisting chiefly of Sioux, came int» the’ neighberhood of the fort and asked leave to encamp there. This was granted them, and thereupon three of tne murderers of the mail party came to the fort dressed in full ir eos. tume, painted for their death song, aud gave themselves up, or, to use their own expressive language, “threw their lives away for the good of the tribe.” They were Red leat and Long Chin, the two brothers of the Bear, or “Mattefowan,” who was killed ia the affair with Lieutenant Grattan, and “Spotted Teil,” a noted brave, At the same time, also, Red Plume and the Spotted Elk also came in and voluntarily offered them. selves asx hostages forthe peace of the tribe. They were all accompanied by their squaws, and were at one placed under guard. Afterwards they were all brought down to Fort Leavenworth, under the charge of Brevet Major Jobnson, of the 6th Infantry, and an escort of twenty men, Accompanying there were Lieut. W. D. Smith and Lieut, Gordon, the latter of whom ouly came as far as Fort Riley. ‘The genioro} disposition of the Sioux of the South Platte seems to incline to peace, and their action in this behalt certainly evinces sucha feeling. They would have sen-in all five of the murderers, but one of them is too ill to be moved, whilst the other has fled the village. In regard to the ‘person who killed Gibson, thay have al- ready sent out runners to bring him in, and he may be expected to be delivered up, The Sioux of the North Missouri are, however, more troudlesome, and it is ex- ected that the war with them will have to be reaewed Inthe spring. ‘The troops in that quarter have for the present gore into winter quarters. The men are doing well, but the horses sre suffering a great deal, and dying very fast. ‘the position of the United States troops, as at present @ispored iz: the Indian country, is as follows:— ‘At Fort Laramie there are stationed five companies of the oth Infantry, one company (Captain Heath's) of the 9th Intantry, and Howe's Light Artillery company. At Fort Pierre there are six companies of the 24 In- fantry, and one company of the 6th Infantry. At a'short distance below Fort Pierre two companies ot the 2d Dragoons, under the command of Stajor (iraham, have nto winter quartem™, At Loup ce Cour there are stationed two companies of the 24 Dray and one company of infantry. At Fort Kearney there is only one company of the 6th Inia antes, command of Captain Wharton. ‘The fort at Ash Hollow, which was temporarily estab- lirhed. has been broken up and abandoned. ‘We further learn from the same source that the ateam- er White Cloud did not succeed in getting ap to Fort Pierre. She only reached the mouth of White river, about sixty miles below the fort. Flying rumors of difficulties with the Crow and Cheyenne Indians were afloat, but as they came principally from traders who were interested in the matter, but little credit was at- tached to them. {From the St. Louis Democrat, Dec. 18.] We have been permitied through the politeness of a gentleman of this city to make the following extract from or just received by bim from the Indian country, It will be read with interest, as it evinces a disposition on the partof the Indians ‘to make peace and create no farther disturbances. Gen. Harney has offered them their choice—peaca or war—and there is no doubt that they will accept the former :— Anovx Fort Pizare, Noy. 10, 1855. A few days ogo thirty or forty Sioux Indians came to Fort Pierre to pay a visit to General Harney.

But if any of the bands should not come at the above time, he would then know that they wish to fi He told them that it was immaterial to him how they acted, as he would just as soon fight as have peace; that he was sent by their Great Father to fight them, but since he had killed the brates, he had pity on them.

It was to the Anglican Bishop of Montreal, to whom he took his forged letter of totrodac ticn porporting to be trom Lord Ducie, and which the Bishop at once detected to be an imposture. The detec- tion being published nipped his career in Montreal. On the Sth, he disappeared from the Ottawa, the hotel at which he had reside | in Montreai, with his wife. She, we may eay. we have positive information, was married to him at Albany about a couple of months ago; he gained her affections in this way:—He went to Alba: pretend ing to bea Methodist preacher; he made the acquaint- ance ofa resident minister of that persuasion, and stated that he was going to lows city, to collect a debt due him there for £700, money lent to an inhabitant of that city while in Scotland: that hejhad sent his trunks, &c., for- ward by express, and desired himself to travel by easy stages, So mush was the resident preacher imposed upon, that he aliowed hime to preach in his pulpit, and introduced bim to his family, of which his pre- vent victim was one. poor girl, an. or. phan living with ber eider sister, Murray suc- ceeded in gaining ber affections, and proposed marriage, which her friends advired her to refure un il at least bad ret Western tour with hia But her infetuation was so complete that rhe deverted her friends for this scoundrel), married him, and fled they knew not whither, until a tele jh from Montreal informed them of her wherea- bouts, Every effort for the «pace of a week was inede to find her, and information respec! her solicited through papers.

Custom, and the of other parties, have rendered it proper tor those who happen to vecupy oficial stations as members of the General As- sembly, to take steps, prior to State elections, for orgs- nizing their respective parties. Ata tame when other political organizations seem to be crumbling away—divided into factions, and atri with diminished numbers to save the spoils of power—it seems peculiariy proper that some movement should be made by those representatives of the people who are connected with the Ameriesn party, and some asauz- ance be given, that they still cling to that party—that ite principles sre therrs—its prosperity the ‘object of thelr earnest cerires and efforts, and its succees the great end they have in view, It seems proper, also, from the fact that, while, duriog its earlier struggles, s wise policy suggested that the movements of the party should be guarded by strict secrecy, to prevent unfriendly iuterfe- rence and the combination of adverse elements with cor- rupt aad reckless parties, such power has now been at- teined—such conscious strength to apply tts principles to the actual administration of affairn, that secrecy—never ‘ prineiple, always au expedient, and now no longer ¢s- sential to success—has been discarded. To these may be added thi: sther reason—that the impression has goa abroad that many of those who had counected them selves with the American party had deeerted it. This is true a4 to some persons. Charity may suggest tha those who have been found so ready to assume and to dwcard principles—to form ard to sever party connec- tions—to take and shake off solemn obligstions—-have been thoughtless and tickle, rather than unprincipled c rous, Ho cert and tresche: However this may be, certain it is that our cause was not strengthened by auch advocates, neither ia it weakened by their loss. If they axe true men, and know well our priaciplos, though they may not act with us, they cannot oppose us, If they are fuithiens, thei: desertion strengthens, by re- heving us of tr # associates, and our cause will sustain no injury by the opposition of such men.

When party shack) @ in a mement cast of, and preju- adees of Tonk antagonism ant the prepossessions of long association under old party names and leal- ers are forgutten in a moment —when multitude in avery section of the country, of every shade and struck an with'one thought, end aal- purpose, are found united, is not the proof sufficient that fires long kindled in secret wore ready to burst into flames—that great evils exist, which, though patieutly endured through long years, must no# be abated? A great people cannot be thus aroused by ony erdinary summony, The fears of an empire of fcee- men cannot be excited by imaginary perils, ‘The American party had its origin in the honest con- victions of the people; it owes its +trength to the purity of its principles; it reeks to accomplish its just purposes —us it surely wil-—only by proper means, aud, as the result of its labora, to strengthen to us and to those who may come after us the assurance that here freedom will always be secure, It ebalienges full discussion and clore serutiny of its principles, and the ground of its action.

Remembering the leatons taught by those who framed our constitution, touching the adxolute necessity of an entire separation of Church and State; assured that such # union would be fatal to the liberties of the peopl pealing to the unvarying testimony of history to show that ecclesiastical despotiom, while it is most insidious in its advances to power, is of all others the most intolera- ble; impressed by recent events at home and abroad, and by the opinions, avowed and earnently malatained, of vome persons and classes in this country, with the belief that claims of spiritual over temporal au thority may be made; satisfied that such claims, by whatever authority made, are utterly inconais: tent with true freedom, and’ knowing that wherever made and acquiesced in, religious aa well ax aivii liberty is at an end—the American party demands the absolute exeluxion. from office and power, of all whe hold or owe civil allegiance to any foreign civil or ecclesiastical pow- er, Or who seek to secure tor any sect an ascendancy in- copsistent with perfect freedom of religious opinion and action, ° ‘The American party seeks to deny to m9 one the largest liverty and the periect exercise of religious opinion; it vindieates the rights of all. of whatever sect, wo this; but it demands the absolute divorce of the civil and ecclesi- astical elements, and will gnard alike with jealous care egainst ony infringement of individual right, and any gperoech ment upon the civil by the eeclsslustioal avi- thority.
