Frtm the Cltitagi Democratic Preit. TOPEKA, K. T., Ji.lv S, 1850. Yesterday was market by one of Ihfi most outrageous occurrences that mark onr national aunala. Franklin Tierce, not con tent with all hie previous infamy on Kan sas affairs, consummated it by a crowning act of outrage on freo institutions. The Federal troops rodo into town in battle ar ray and dispersed the Legislature. A great Mass Convention had been call ed to assemble nt Topt-ka. Ow'ng to the political troubles and insecurity in the ler- ritory it was not so generally attended as had been expected, but there were about 1,000 persons, men and women, there. Col. Sumner had been coll.'C'inff a larce military forco in the ncijzhborhood of 'IV peka, and at it was reported that he intend- ed to drive out the Legislature and disperse the people assembled, with his troop", con. sidurable excitement prevailed. At 10 o'clock in tho forenoon of yesterday, Uni ted States Marshal Donaldson came into Topska, accompanied by Judge Flmore. He stated that he had a communication to make. The President ol the Convention, .Mr. Currier, of Leavenworth, invited them both to the stand, when Donaldson said ho had a proclamation to make, and got Judge Elmore to read first a copy of the Prcsi- denfg last February proclamation, then Shannon's June proclamation, which he read from a little piece of scissoring from a newspaper, and lastly tho proclamation by the Acting Uovernor ol Kansas trom Acting Governor Woodson und Col. Sum- ner. ' llavingread this to the Convention, the dapenaame iw iur iiu uiu iu Marthal asked if they bad any message to up and spoke, no controniea tne mem carry back to Col. Sumner. The President hers of the Senate, and holding his hat in of the Convention told him that this was not tho Legislature, but a public Conven- tion, nnd that they had no reply to make, The Marshal and Judge Elmore departed. ' It was nearly noon. The Convention was Hill busilvat work. The hour for the meeting of the Legislature approached, and several of the membera of the Legislaiure had entered the hall. The two military companies of Topeka, which had been on drill, were drawn nri in front of the lenis. lativa hall to receive a banner from the lidies. A band of music was stationed at the end of, tho line, and was making the place echo with martial strains, when up- wards of two hundred dragoons, under Col. Sumner, galloped up, and entered the city : . .1 1 . .

(.inly seventeen answered to the cull, al though there were tome thirty-three, mora than a quorum, in or about the house. Sumner who it dnubtlets better versed in military than pnrlinmentary tactic, thu permuted the Legislature to be convened under his nose, while Uonald.on, who had iuerzel into the crowded hall, looked on Heverni ladiet were present, Col.

Ordem had boon Mailed the evcnim; or to re to Kie dooi kecpor to admit no visitors. The dnor. kfepcr allowed Col. Sumner to enter, but told ilfaivlial Donaldson he could not let him in. Donaldson said he was United Siatea Marshal, and had official business. The doorkeeper, Mr. Fuller, told him to 'how us papers ; ne extiioited ins commission, nnd the doorkeeper let him pnss. Col. Sumner did not pause to inquire whether the Senate was or was not in aes. sion, but proceeded to tell them that by virtue of the orders of the President he was there lo disperso them, and ordered them to disperse. Having said so, Col. Sumner looked at them lo see how tliey took hit announcement. The members of the Sen ato were standing in a circle, looking at him respectfully, but they did not move. There was a long and disagreeable pause, which Sumner broke by asking : Well, gentlemen, do you consider your- aulvcs dispersed !" Mr. Thornton, President or the senate, replied thus : Col. Sumner, tne Senate is not in session and cannot make any reply to you ; ncilh er can any member ot it Mr. Thornton then asked if Col. Sumner, afier his orders to dispurse, would permit them to convene, so as lo receive nny com munication he might huve to make The Colonel said No! my orders nre that you must not be permitted to meet, and 1 cannot allow you loflo nny business, Marshal Donaldson, beginning to think ihat some advantage was about to bo tali- en of the "Law nnd Order Party," stepped ono hand, and raising the other, geslicu Inted with the point of hit finger, as he said in a tremulous, squeaking voice : 44 Well, I want all of you members to promise me that you won't meet here again any more, and if you won't" and here J.

It was bad enough for the troops to break in with their cannon and sabres on the representatives nf a free peo- pie, but far a miserable tool of the slaveoc- racy thus to menace and insult because he had some five hundred dragoons at his back, was monstrous. If he had a writ to terve against any man it wat his business to serve it, no maiter what they did, and it ne nao 1 I. LJ w a m a mnn. One of the members of ibe Senate exhib- ited a little of the feeling that tuch trying circumstances may awaken, and said : "When my country calls me to disperse, by hertroor, I yield to that authority. Here Hon. Mr. Pillsbury said: "Col Sumner, we are in no condition to resist the United States troops, and if yon order us to disperse, of course we must disperse." Col. Allen said that he would suggest to his brother Senators that Mr. I'illsbury's statement be considered the expression of the whole, which was assented to, CoL Sumner then left the ball. Ashe went down stairs, and just before he met the crowd that was anxiously waiting ouU side, Col. Phillips, who had left the Senate chamber with him, said aloud, "Colonel, vou have robbed Oliver Cromwell of hit laurels." Col.
