Thrice is be armed who has his quarrel just And ht is naked thah locked up in steel Whoso conscience yriOkinjiutiee is corrupted." It is far from our wish or desire to em Iron ourself in a controversy with the Sqat ter, Sovereign; but when we see our city crossly and maliciously misrepresented, and the Herald pronounced "a thumb paper with fifty or sixty subscribers" as was in the last number of the Sovereign it becomes our duty to vindicate truth and justice and not to allow such base, false, and unwarrantable asertions to pass by unnoticed and uncon We are not greatly surprised that theSquatterSovereign should misrepre-, tent our city and denounce the Herald as "a 'thumb paper with' fifty or sixty when we recollect the inveterate rancour, implacable hostility, and pertinacious jeal ousy, the Atchisonians entertain against Nor are we astonished that the Editor of the Squatter Sovereign should have made such unblushingly false state ments, jwhen we remember that the leading i Characteristics oi nis pen are vuuperauon, currilitv. and mendacity. What better could be expected of a man whose only pleasure and delight seems to be to and caluminate "Oh shame, where is thy blush We emphatically and categorically deny the veracity of the Sovereign statements.

We'fearlessly pronounce them Unequivocally false not even possessing he semblance of truth. We challange him, we defy him, to substantiate his allegations; or even to produce one iota of evidence in corroboration of his infamous and slander-'us charges. Now as to the charges. The Editor of the Sovereign speaks of this pa-" per. as Thumb paper, with fifty or sixty subscribers published in the village of Leavenworth." We are at a loss to know what is to be understood by "a Thumb paper;" and when he informs us in what sense the term is to be taken, we will reply to the charge.

If he means' a Democratic, pro-slavery paper, a liberally and honorably conducted Journal; then the Herald is a "Thumb paper." As to the circulation of the Herald: it is well known that it has a far larger circulation than any other paper published in the Territory, and when the Editor of the Sovereign stated its circulation not to exceed eighty, he must have known he was promulgating a base falsehood through the columns of his paper. We venture to assert, without fear of our assertion being falsified, that our circulation far exceeds that of the Sovereign. In speaking of Atchison as a starting point for the Mormon emigration, the sovereign says "before deciding upon Athison as the point experienced agents who had previously examined the advantages presented by Lea-Tenworth vllage. the Editor of the Sovereign should all Leavenworth a village, -wh en he in the same breath speaks of Atchison as a town, certainly evinces a disposition on his part to misrepresent and stigmatize our city i Sot it is well known to every one at all acquainted with the respective places that Leavenworth has eight times the number of buildings and inhabitants of Atchison Will the Editor of the Sovereign deny this? but even if he should which would not very strange in hint, will he not acknowledge that Leavenworth is' the larger of the two places. If this be.

so; how can Leavenworth be Me village, and Atchison the town? should it not he vice rero Atchison the village and Leavenworth the town. If we should consider our population in a numerical sense we would say that the terra vil-lage," we think, is more appropriate for Leavenworth than that of "city but is the Editor of the Sovereign so egre-griously ignorant as not to know, that the terms "city" and village" are synooomous in this country: We are that the Editor of the have the ef frontery, to call Leavenworth' a when be speaks of Atchison as a town. If Atchison is a tenen surely Leavenworth in city; but if Leavenworth is a village pray tell us, Mr. Sovereign what is Atchison. The intractable hostility which it obvious tl-e Editor of the Sovereign entertains a gainst our city, can only be ascribed to, the faef-of 'Leavenworth having been selected as a starting point by the larger portion of the; le mons in place of Atchison The Ed ripipfHe Sovereign should take in consid eration that nothing has been done by us to make this a starting point Jbrjtho mormon migration; lut crtl we sl oped a gross misrcprevntatics to rassun- ten totro company, through the columns of the Missouri Republican cf Vzh.

JC'with ether, view than that of sec uring; themor- mcato'lsiCcau'Yf fcssare lit. Sovereign we are yrfectly Willing that Atchison should have the Mormon emigration; if she can get it. JTe are utterly indifferent in regard to it, and if the Mormons see fit to re-movevoAtchison we can safely promise that nothing be said or done to dissuade or deter them from doing so. Leavenworth is not dependent upen the temporary residence of a few Hundred Mormons for her support and prosperity; nor does she wish to make, it a bone contention. Atchison.

Although the Sovereign, has time and again assured the public that the iovm of Atchison presents better advantages than the "village9 of Leavenworth as a starting point for the Salt Lake trade, we will state for the edification of its Editor that our city has been selected by Majors, Russell 8t Co, the large and extensive S- freighters," A. Gilbert, the heavy Salt Lake trader of Weston, and Thos. JDavy, as the most desi rable and feasible starting point on the Mis souri river. This fact completely falsifies the Sovereign's statements and serves to show that Leavenworth is to become the Commercial Emporium of Kansas. In clos ing our; animadversion.

to the gross misre presentations of oiif city made by theSoye reign we' will take the Uberty to give its Editor a little advice, which may one day prove of incalculable benefit to him and bis the means of causing him to act a little more discreetly in future. Before you open your lips to speak in future, reflect whether you know the truth of what you are about to say, or understand the matter thereof. Else you may be detected in a falsehood and the "words of your own mouth destroy your peace. EST" In consequence of the crowded state of our columns, with the proceedings of public meetings, we are precluded from commenting upon the proclamation of Gov. Reeder, which provides for a new election on the 22d of the present month.

We have only time and space enough to say that Reeder in ordering a second election has transcended all power and right given him by the Nebraska-Kansas Act. Pro-slavery men prepare for the 22nd! Bekz Steve jrsos. To the kindness and generosity of the gentlemanly firm of Behtz Stevenson, we are greatly indebted for a box of fine flavored regalias, a can of delicious peaches, and a bottle of Heidsick's best Champagne. We can safely vouchor the unexcelled quality of the Champagne as we drank of it, offeriug the toast "success to the liberal and enterprising firm of Bentz Stevenson; may their extreme kindness not remain unrequited," which was heartily drank toby all the attaches of the Herald.

The facts of this fatal tragedysof far "as we hare been able to learathem.vare.

foUotrs: during a meeting held on Monday.Jast, in pursuance to a call made through our col umnsj.for the purpose of considering the propriety of extending the time to till eqnatr ters holding claims on Delaware lands, the order of the meeting- was frequently dis turbed and the speakers insulted and arrested in the course of their remarks by certain vulgar and impertinent outbursts from this same despicable villian McCrea. For, his obtrusion and ungentlemanly con-, duct at a meeting' in which lie was jnb way concerned, he was re'primandeds he should have been by Maladm Clark, and respectfully requested either to leave the faceting or desist in his unjust interference'with its proceedingsJ This he would not do but continued in this same course regardless of all advice araadmonitibri, until a reso-. lution had been" declared carried (some fifteen minutes after the reprimand, by the vote of the meeting, which the perfidious villian prcnounced to haye. been effected by gross fraud, although not affecting him or his interests. To this assertion Malcolm Clark gave the "D--d lie" which was followed up by McCrea in the most violent and abusive' language.

At this stage of the controversy Malcolm Clark became exasperated and offered to strike McCrea when he received a fatal shot from the villainous hands of the "das tardly abolitionist. After the perpetration of the bloody deed, the cowardly assassin took flight, during which he wheeled about and fired indiscriminately in the crowd, that was inrhot pursuit after him, as we saw through the window of our ofice. He was soon captured and brought back when he feigned for a sAori while the most poignant no doubt with the, view of exciting some commisseration -m his be half and thereby preserving his hTe; from the hands of an i excited crowd. The de ceased exercised, we are utmost forbearance with this vagabond of aboli- tioaism, and evinced no disposition to de mean himself by aggravating a quarrel with him. We were not present at the meeting and consequently did: not witness this sad and horrible occurrence, but when we heard the report of and saw the rapid flight of the murderer, we hastened to the spot and never shall we forget the scene there presented.

Our very heart sickens, our very blood chills in our veins, when we recall the scene to memory. 'We think we see before us the body of the dying man strug- ling and writhing in the agonies of death. We think we hear his dying cry ringing in our ears. think we behold the ruth-! less monster, McCrea.standing up confront- mg us with that same hideous and malig-i nant scowl which his countenance bore af-' ter the perpetration, of this hellish deed. The murderer is now incarcerated at Fort Leavenworth and God grant that the fiend 1 whose murderous hands comroittedjthe foul and atrocious crime the wretch whose hands are steeped in blood be made to suffer condign retribution.

The vile monster McCrea shall meet the just penalty, of the law. He shall be hung by a rope of HEMP This shall be HIS REWARD: but, no, we leave his fate unpredicted for it needs no. sybil's prescience to divine that it must be, and will bo, as dark as his foul crime. The Villain has Returned. We see, much to our astonishment, hat the perfidious Phillips who aided ed the murder of Malcom Clark has return ed and is now in our.

Resolved That no man has a right to go into any cornmunity and disturb its peace and quiet by doing incendiary acts or circulating incendary sentiments; we therefore advise such as are unwilling to subrhif to the.

institutions of this country, to leave for some climate more congenial to their as abolition sentiments cannot, nor will not, be tolerated here; and while we do not say what may be the consequences, for the peace, and quiet of the community we urge all entertaining and expressing such sentiments to leave immediately, claiming the' right to expel aR such as persist in such a course. Resolved, that in the present state of public' excitement there is no such thing as controling the ebulition of feeling, while material remains in thecountry on which to give it vent.

Resolved, That the institution of slaVgry is known and recognized in this Territory, that we repel the doctrine that it is a moral or political evil, and we hurl back with scorn upon its slanderous authors, the charge of inhumanity, and warn all persons not to come to our own peaceful fire sides to slander us and sow the seeds of discord between the.master and the servant, -for much as we may deprecate the necesity to which we may be driven, we cannot be responsible for the consequences. Resolved, That we recognize the right of every man to entertain his own sentiments in all questions and to act them out so long as they interfere with neither public or private rights, but that when the acts of men strike at the peace of our social relations, and tend to subvert the known and recognized a rights of others, such acts are in violation of morals, of natural law, and systems of jurisprudence, to which we are accustomed to submit. Resolved, That a vigilance commit tee consisting of thirty members, shall now be appointed, who shall observe and report all such persons as shall openly act in violation of law and order, and by the expression of abolition sentiments prod aou disturbance to the quiet, of the citizens, or danger to their domestic relations and all such. persons so offending, shall be noti ied and made to leave the Territory.
