Upou this last injunction hangs our main ques tion of the Kansas traitors, and we shall poe a repeal merely of certain section of a code, which partial repeal carried wiih It a confirmation, in affirmance, and nn en dorsement ol that illegal legislation iiself. Tho Kansas traitors, the border ruffian Legislature of Kansas and their infamous Inus, wiih all their atrocities, the adminis t rutiuit at Washington upholds ut the point of the bayonet, and the rotten and demor alized nigger-driving democratic parly which upholds the administration is pledg ed to its policy. !u every way, and al every point, tho freo Slate s -ttlers of Kan sas are tho aggrieved and outraged party. The constitution and the Kiiusas-Ncbn'skn bill are on their side. They are not trai tors in resisting the bloody code of Kansas a the offi-pring of unlawful authority. I hey are clearly right in tin resistance. They are simply standing upon their lawful and constitutional rights as American citi zens, in a common Territory of tho Union j und every man of them who ha suffered, in persoti or property, from the bloody ruf fian policy of the administration, in Kan s:is, has a rightful claim upon the govern incut fur indemnity. Uu the other hand, tho first proceeding at the re-assembling of Congress should be a resolution in tho I louse of Representatives for the impeachment of the President of the United States as a traitor false to his oath to support the constitution, nnd false to his sworn duly of seeing tho "laws faithfully executed." Tho rest, we presume, will bo attended to by the American peoplo in November; for the whole demoralized democratic party, and their policy nnd their candidate, are involved in this Kansas tre son.

This alarm and frcat precaution was somewhat anuing to Mr. Irish, as he had learned on the same day fiom a gentleman direct from Lawrence, that Lane had not moved, nor did ho in tend to move from his position.

In the first place, President Pierce has adopted' the Missouri-Kansas Legislature and officials aa the legitimate government of the Territory. But Gov.Reeder had in t formed him otherwise, and had disclosed to '.him fully and specifically all the outra .geously illegal mean and Instruments through which the said Missouri authorities ' were placed over the people of Kansas. Subsequently, a special Congressional com mittee, detailed t Kansas for the purpose, entered into a careful and methodical inqui ry, and from the sworn testimony of hun dreds of credible witnesses, the following fact were established : By the census of November, 1 854, and that of January and February, 1P55, it Was ascertained that the number of legal troter in the Territory wa 2,905. At the election of a delegate to Congress, the legal vote east only amounted to about 550, while the illegal vote were 1,700 and upward. Little interest seem to have been taken by the residents at this time in the slavery question. They were thinking cf their persona! interest, aad eng?d in I abs'11'0111''! democratic party that would entirCethe" bloody code, even tothe'slauh ter of every free while scttlcf in Kansas. Theso democrai'ic Senators, who aro now electioneering through Ihe country for Mr. Buchanan as the anointed legatee of Mr. Tierce and his policy of ruffian sovereignty denounce the treason, yet support the trai tors. Illustrious democratic Senators, and artful dodgers! No one cares whether they are willing to repeal this or that sec tion of the laws of Kunsas ; no ono thanks them fir saying in the Senate that the Missouri-Kansas ball and chain were cruelties, or that it was very wrong to chain and im prison a man because he had opinions of his own on slavery ; or that it was unjust From the Si. Louis Uemocru I, Sep. 1 1 . l.ATl.ST NEWS 1'HOH UAK.M. ttnrk on Trrnrasrh Warrants out for the Arrest of Uiu l'vco Mate Mm, ect. Tho iatest wu have from the. Territory, ore tho following items, furnished by the Jefferson City Inquirer, by the officers of the steamer Genoa: A party of one hundred nnd fifty of Lano's men, under command of a man of the name of Stowell, entered Tecumseh on Thursday, 4th, nnd completely sacked tho town of all tho provisions and clothing it contained. When ourinforniant loff they were still at oi k plundering the town On Tuesday, 2nd, McKinney'g whale tiain was captured by a party headed by tho notorious Drown in person, who wus not killed nt Ossawatomie, as before reported. Judge Lecompt, who is not now at the fort, has issued an order to the Marshal of the Territory to arrest Lane and other agi talors. Gen. Smith -has likew-isa issued orders to Col. Cook, commanding fourteen compa nies at Fort Uiley, to give every assistance and aid to the Marshal in the execution of this writ. On Tuesday the Keystone arrived at Glasgow, with Gov. Geary on board, in charge of a company of one hundred men, armed for Kansas, from Glasgow. Guv. Minnnon had a short interview with Gov. Geary on board the Keystone, while lying alongside. In addition to the above, we received intelligence yesterday evening by a gen tleman who came down the Missouri river on the steamer Australia, which boat reached Jefferson City from above yesler lay morning, that affairs in the Territory were unchanged. The pro-slavery forces had been quarrelling among themselves, and were almost entirely disbanded. Lane was growing very bold and insult ing, and had facetiously sent word to the people of Westportand Independence, that in a few days he would be "down and take breakfast with them." Leavenworth was desolate, her stores closed, dwellings de serted and business entirely suspended. There were rumors in the city last even- Irk raonl a m i n aa a iilrOr L.nti.A & licirl ' .L - .....nmn... rl.Lf.nlth liarl r.aao. that it lOai gUeillli wiJ'ien yaaw H on its way to uasningion, said he was opposed to slavery ; or is very unpleasant to be obliged to hang a man because he had whimpered that if he were a slave he would run away. No one we repeat it cares whether these hu mane Senators uttered these very liberal opinions, or voted for them in one bill, do signed to upset another, which went fur ther, and cut offall these oppressive enact ments at a blow, by compellins the Presi. dent to sheath the sword. This is not the point. If thry had been in earnest in their humanity and sincere in their horror, they ed throu conveying inte'liuence of a fight between the government troops, under Smith, and Lane's forces: but we could learn nothing reliable, and have no confidence in its truthfulness. From llie St- Louis Democrat, Sept. 12 btunl Rlekardsea Takta rrltoaer kl DtsekaireA UaveraorUearj Arrived., ecL ecu Mr. Rial Irish, native of Pontiac, Michigan, reached our city yesterday after noon by Jefferson City and the Pacific would not have confined their action to the j lUilroad, having left the city of Leaven- capturo he had not heard. Richardson was conveyed to Lawrence, and delivered over to General Lane, who at once rrstor d his arms, aud culling out a small guard, escorted him outside of tire town and dhv missed him with much courtesy, und many expressions of reerct at his misfortune Mr. Irish lea r Led that Gen. Richardson was so pleased with the generosity of his captors, that he has declared his intention to wage no more war against them. Tho condition of Leavenworth City is truly deplorable. On Monday night last, Mr. Irish statev, ho was aroused from his bed at the Leavenworth Hotel, by cries of the citizens that the Missouri mob wcro plundering srveral of the grocery stores of tho place, and that thry must be driven off. The citizens gathered iu largo numbers, but were afraid to interfere, and the gang of marauders, under Cant. Miller, were permitted to nnisti tiieir robberies, i ins Cnpt. Miller is a notorious gambler nnd scoundrel, nnd has umltr his command a small gang of Missourians nnd others, who i.o about pilfering and plundering indis criminately. The people detest him so heartily that many have expressed their lesire that ho with his gang, and Captain Drown with his guerillas, should be placed together in the woods nnd bo permitted to fi"ht it out together. In illustration of, the feelings of the inhabitant, toward Capt. Miller and his marauders, Mr. Irish relates that on Monday evening, its he was passing along the street, just after tlio first reports hud reached the place that Lima was con. tcmplating an attack, ho w as addressed by lady from one of the houses, who asked him what truth there was in the rumois, nnd what Lane would probably do should the town betaken. He replied that he thought Lane was not coming, but that if ho did come, he would do nothing more than drive out the disorderly Missourians. To this she replied with grout emphasis and feeling: "If that's all he will do, I hope to God he will come, and that quickly 1" The Alabarniaus who are underarms, are exceedingly sick of the country, and are determined to leave. They say they must have money to get away with, and will have it, if they have to steal it. Atchison and Doniphan have become disgusted and returned to Missouri. The pro slavery forces under Gen. Reid were very small. Governor Geary reached Leavenworth City on Tuesday evening. Quito a num ber of tho citizens and men under arms were on the banks, ready to receive some two or three companies of Missourians, which were expected. When they learned that Governor Geary was on board, they called him out. He appeared on the guard and made them a speech of about ten minutes' length, 6aying among other things, with qualification attached, he would enforce all the territorial laws w hich were constitutional. The Governor then proceeded up the river and landed at the fort, where he had an immediate consulta tion with Gen.S-nith. Hn staled his inten tion to proceed to Lawrence in a few days, without any more troops tnan would suf fice for a body guard. I The. St. Loui News of Thursday even- ing has the following : Latest f rm lUita Reltabt Parllcalars. Mr W. S. Ilonnold, one of the men who had charge of the Santa Fe (Mckinney's) train, captured by the free State men, call ed on us this morning, and related the par ticular of that occurrence, and o'.her events in Kansas. The train was captured on the 1st, by a company of men under Capt. Cut ter not Brown, as erroneously stated.
