Saturday, August 22, 1867, will always bi morable day in the history of Atobison; for although events of that day are not distinguished by anything worthy or bonorable, they are of # nature not easily to be forg ten. The remembrance of some public outrage or wrong is as keenly felt as \bat of something memorable or note- worthy. On Katorday, the 221,a Free Stato Convention was to bave been held tn Atchison, for the purpose of electing delegates to the Grasshopper Convention, and Colonel Lane had been invited to deliver an address. It is well known that Tans is quite obnoxious to the most ultra fre-eaters cf Kapeas aid Missouri, and a litle equad of Southerners who hang around Atob'son swore that the Uolone!l should Dever make s speech in ‘their’ town, though the streets ran blood. This 1quad, bowever, were painfully aware of their numerical insignificance, and appealed for “aid and com/ort”’ to their sympathizing colicagues of the Mis souri biue lodges. A favorable response was given, end then the bullying oommenced tn earnest. The Atchidon fire-osters, strengthened by an inrrdinate quantity of “reovfied Kansas Bourbon” and bie lodge promises, proclaimed aloud * Death to the d——¢ littoniets |’ “ Down wiih niggerism |” “ Away with Lane’s carcass &e., Ko. But little attention was paid to such threate, and e day for the convention arrived. A few of our citizens went up to co-operate with those who might organize for the perpoee of protesting Jife and property; and or were eingied out for insult and indignity, we will give their experience, and picjure the ordeal through which they were forced to pars. ‘The party consisted of some eight Americans and twelve Geraans—the former riding on horses and the latter in wagons. They arrived at Atchison about noon, and afier puting up their borres found to their amazenent inat no measures had been taken for the holding of the Conven- on, or for the proper or; zation the free diate forcean The streets were ijled with mea, and stacks of arme were seen in the EE shops and groceries. Some twelve of the Leavenworth company, about one o'clock, were standing quietly in front of Adame & Bwift’s office, when a disturbance was heard up the street, where & large body of armed men were collected. Eight or tea of our citizens (cluding F G. Adame—a brother of our ‘May or—now residing in Atchison) started in the direction of the ecene. This movement elicited a ‘*whoop” from a nomadic Missourian, which was answered up sireet, and appeared to be the tigna! for the general guinering, ae bre 4 house and whisky shanty vomitei forth a set of -Cwoyish looking castomers, art to the teein, ag og fone in thelr denunciation of evérything pertaining to a free Biate. About this time also three wagons appeared in the streets loaded with “passengers,” who sp an quantity of side arms,» lot of bayoneved muskets, On going up the street, the littie free State band found themee!ves completely encompassed by as miserable a set of dropken and excited yagabonds as ever disgraced hu. mapity It was here ditcovered that a freo Siate man— Woedward—bad been knocked down and otherwise mal- treated by the rvflians, who swore cternal vengeance ageinet the entire ‘‘race of free State men.’” ‘One of these rowdies, with a Sharpe's rifle ready cockod, slapped Mr. Adams acroes the face, and, presenting bis rite, threatened to shoot him as he stood. The free Siate men quickly covered Adams, and drew thelr Colts, deter- mines to die bravely rather than see one of their own num- ber barbarously murcered. This bod move had the de- wired effect, and though the clicking of locks was heard on | every side, no sbos was fired, and the free State men were sliowed to fall back to their original position.
