"As the Territorial government, however, in no sense represent the people of Kansas, was not efecred by , them, and can no ribt to legislate for them,' we can net accept a charter at its bands. , And as iha State government bas not as yet 'deem ed it advisable to proceed to tho organiza- ...... . e t 1 j . .. we cannot obtain a charter from it. There is, therefore, left us only the alternative of a charter springing directly from the peo lie, or a continuance in our present unor ganized condition. Under these circum stances, you have seen fit to instruct us to uresent a charter, having discussed its pro- Tisbns in a preliminary assemblage: and now propose to submit it to a full vote of the people for approval or rejection' , ' It will, then, be perceived that the au thority of the Territorial government is ham rlUtirtnltr Anot nnd whilst that nf the so-called State government is acknow ledged, it is conceded that no charter has been granted by them.- Indeed, it is a fact ttat, although this so-called State govern n-jent has, in itself, no legal existence or au thorityyet you asked and failed to receive a charter from them. s'.-v ;.

You stand now, fellow-citizens, upon the brink of an awful precipice, and it becomesTny duty to warn you en you take the fatal leap into the gulf below.

I appeal once more to your love of country, to ypur regard for it peace, prosperity, and reputation, to your affection for your wives and children, and to elf those patriotic motives which ought to influence American citizens, to abondon this con templated resolution. ' If you have wrongs, redress them through the peaceful instru mentality of the ballot-box, in , the mode prescribed by the laws of your country. As all arguments heretofore so often ad dressed by me to you have failed as yet to produce any effect .upon you, I have deem ed it necessary for your safety and that of the Territory, and to save you from the perilous consequences of your own acts, under' the authority vested in me by the President of the United State.", to order an adequate force of the troeps of the United, States into your immediate vici age, to per form the painful duty of arresting your re volutionary proceedings.

Let me adjure you, then, once more, to abandon these proceedings before you involve yourselves in the crime of trea son, and subject the people of the city of Lawrence to all the horrors and calamities of insurrection and civil war. If you will now desist from he projected resolution. the past will be forgotten as far as praticaWe ; but if you persist in passing these laws and carrying them into execu tion, thus defying and superseding the Government of your country, the . deplora ble consequences must be upon your heads and those of your associates. ; It will be my purpose, if you still persist, to spare all bloodshed a far as practica ble, and subject the leaders and projectors Of this revolutionary movement to the pun ishment prescribed by the law. I will ac company the troops to" Lawrence, with a view to prevent, if possible, ay conflict, and in the sincere hope tha-t the revolution ary movement contemplated by you, rand now so nearly; accomplished, will, ere it is too late, be abandoned by you. ' If you can be influenced by no other motives, the evi dent fact thai the power of the Government is adequate to prevent the accomplishment of your purpose should induce you to de sist from-these preceedings. ' W " v That the same overruling Providence who holds in his hands the destiny of our beloved beloved country may now incline ypur hearts . to : peace,, tend influence you to abandon thie fatal enterprise, is the sin cere wish of your fellow citizen, R.

From lbe,Cin cinnti Commercial and the Gazette of Wednesday we make up the subjoined par ticurnrs. of the bloody affair. " -' " - 'At about 4 o'clock yesterday morning the mansion occupied by Nicholas T. Hor ton, Esq., in Ohioavenue, at the head of Vine street hill, waar discovered to be on fire, v Judge Parker, whose residence is upon the opposite side of the way, was a. roused by the "screams of the inmates of Mr. Horton's house, and speed ly . dressing himself be rushed to the scene, when upon entering the hall ; he discovered a gentle man named Conclin endeavoring to remove the prostrate body of . Mr. Horton. 'The smoke was suffocating, but; between them they succeeded in carrying their charge to the lawn, when il was discovered he was bleeding profusely from a cut inflicted in the head, . end a dreadful gash given evidently by the downward Stroke of some sharp weapon in the left groin, and which bad severed , the femoral artery. ' He ap peared sensible, but was speechless, and in. a few moments breathed his lasL Previous to this, and at" the first alarm of fire, the mother of Mr Horton rushed in to the ball, when she perceived her unfor tunate son-in-law staggering towards the bed-room of his wife, who had but recently been confined, and exclaiming, "Oh, moth er, I am stabbed I" He fell upon the spot where he was discovered by Judge Parker and M,r. Concklin. - i; lathe meantime the excitement had spread, and some flrerr.en from the Mohawk engine-house arriving upon the spot, the fire was soon extinguised, and suspicion having fallen upon a serving man named Joseph Loefner, who had for upwards of t we years been engaged in the family of Mr. Horton, some person hastened to a house on the corner of Vine and Green streets, in which Loefner's wife resided. In a few minutes afterwards, however, and while the party assembled in front of the house, were yet in a state of horrid bewil derment Loefner was seen staggering to wards them f.om a neighboring orchard, bleeding profusely from a cut in the hand and a horrid gash across the throat. Some of the party advanced to meet him, but he sunk upon the grass upon his hands and knees They traced the blood to an apple tree,, beneath which they found a large sharp butcher-knife and a razor. With the former he had inflicted the fatal blow which bad deprived Mr. Horton of life, and with the' latter he had attempted to accomplish his own destruction. When interrogated as to whether he' had commit ted the arson and murder, he nodded (for he was speechless) assent, and . also that he had cut his own throat. In the meantime the party who had firs: started in pursuit of him arrived at the resi dence of his wife, but found the door of the room locked. Subsequently they burst it in, and there, stre'ehed nearly naked up on the bed, but with her shoes on her feet, they beheld the dead body of the illfated wife of the murderer of Mr. Horton, no wo-ind upon ber person, but otherwise ex hibiting marks which made it evident that she had died from strangulation. -- The wretched man, Joseph Loefner, was removed to the Commercial Hospital, where at a late hour last night he lay in speech less agony, the attendants expecting mo mentarily that he would breathe bis last He bad previously signified by signs that his motive for committing this double mur der, suicide and arson, was jealousy of his wife and Mr. Horton, and after being taken to the nospital, ; ne succeeded in : tracing upon a slate, in intelligible characters, that be had reason . to believe " his wife on the day previous had given him poisoned but ter upon bis bread, and which had caused the altercation that had led to her murder, after which he had hastened to the house of Mr, Horton in the front basement of Which he usually slept, where he kindled the fire with the intention of burning the house and its inmates, but meeting. Mr. Horton, who was aroused by the smo be inflicted the fatal stab, and then rushed forth into the orchard to consumate his own destruction. : " ' 7 f : ;' V The fire which Loefner had kindled was immediately underneath the ' apartment occupied by Mrs. Horton. Mr. Horton, in consequence of the recent confinement of his lady, occupied a sleeping room upon the other side of the hall and in the rear of the house. t-' He was an old and respected citizen, aged about 50 ' years, and leaves his wife and six children to mourn his loss. He was an extensive, manufacturer of grates an j marbleized iron, doing business on Third street, between ' Race' and ; Elm. the manufactory being" on Plum ' stre t ; The firm was known as Nicholas T. Hor ton. & Co. Formerly he was in copartner ship' with Mr. Baker, and more recently the firm was known as that of Horton '& Matey, but this connection ' was dissolved two years since. : r Joseph Loefner, the murderer, is barely 36 years of age,- and is said to have on sev. eral occasions exhibited a violent and un governable disposition.' He was engaged by Mr, Horton as a gardener and to take care of the horses, and it is said that upon one occasion when the harness - became entangled, he seized a knife and . cut it to pieces, after which be turned and served I hie coat which was hanging from a peg in the stable in the same manner.

THE MHRDE RER'S CONFESSION LATER. - After the above was in type, and at a late hour last 'night, we visited the Com mercial Hospital, where we learned that the murderer had confessed to the attend ing physician and to others, a short time previous, bv writing upon a slate, that he bad committed the murders of which be was charged.

We learn from, the Chicago Demo crat that on Thursday week "one of the worst gambling dens that ever disgraced any city in the United States" was en tered by the police oi that cily, and six teen men and bovs arrested. The es tablishment, is frequented by some of the worst' gamblers, thieves, pickpockets and burglars in the United ; States.- Men have been there from New Orleans, Natchez, New York, St. Louis and oili er places noted for the exnertness of their blacklegs. It has been a place of resort by a number of men of Chicago f'having the highest pretence to respect ability." Some ot these men, the Pern dcrat says, have held high offices ; some of them "have been on almost every grand and petit jury within our remem brance." The following paragraph gives an elevated idea of the courts of justice, churches and other institutions of the jmoral city of Chicago r ; ."They have their regular lawyers, whose position in society makes them above 'suspicion, who see that special bail is always provided, and that, some one who frequents the house is always upon the jury, in case any of these men are brought up for trial. There are lit tle boys connected with it whose busi ness is 'to decoy other boys lads in pla ces of trust, such - as bank clerks and others in places of trnst, and who have the handling of money, being prefered. l ne sonsot some, oi our ennren mem bers, and of one clergyman at least, have passed hours and hours playing at ten cents a gnme in this den. ' . . ; About $1,000 worth of gambling im plements were seized. The gamblers fought the police with dirks, bowie knives and revolvers before they would submit to arrest, but no ono was serious ly injured. FROM UTAH. , St. Louis, July 23.

On the day prior to the fire breaking out they perceived an unusual smelK like that of something smoulder ing. The premises were carefully ex amined, but no one -thought ot explor ing the contents of the barrel.

He savs the charter ot Lawrence is in direct and open defiance of the ; Ter ritcrial law. and repeats 4hat the law must be enforced.

He implores them not to compel him to appeal to Military power, but says thev cannot carry their purposes into ef fect, without coming in open conflict with the troops of the United States. The proclamation concludes thus: : It will be my purpose if you still per sist to spare bloodshed as tar as practi cable, and subject the leaders and pro- lectors ot this revolutionary- movement to the punishment prescribed by law. I will accompany the troops to Law rence, with a view to prevent; if possi ble, any conflict, in the sincere hope. thfU there vol nuoriary movement coutem plated, and nearly accomplished, wil beabandoned ere it is too late.

A the discoverer of this Salt solemnly - protests against nanig it placed in me category of fraudaaodtm poaitiona, he has reaelved that it shall so forth to the world like the pure gold dollnf, "with no other patsperi tug iia own true raiue. x- it the pubiie find it atnaine they will receive it if sporiooa, they will reject and condemn lt Instead s pan acea for all ills, it has control over out one ill baa hat one aim- and accomplishes bat one tbingr, 10 Wit: 8DBDDBB IKrLAMMiTOllT D18KASK Whatever he its form or locality whether in the bead, throat cheet, abdomen, extremities, or akin. , : A hen the discoverer, afters long series of labo rious ad costly experiments, became fully confir med in his conviction that the AntiphlogiaticSalt, which he now has the happiness to present to t he American public, was a " , , j, PERFECT SUBSTITUTE For Blood-letting, Leeches and Blisters, his mind was so agitated that he could not sleep for many nights The cause of his agitation was the stri king fact that the manner ofits operation, like that of the virus ia v; ccination, could no1- be saUafacto rily explained upon any known principle." How, in. inhat way, it so effectually subdues inflammatory diseases, and no othero, was at first wholly inexpli cable but, on further ex pel intent, it was proved that by its' power- over the veins, arteries and glands, it tqaalixet the Jluid qf Che body, the wanlof an equilibrium ia which, is the sole casse ot In flammation. It exerts, like the vaccine matier.an extraordinary influence over the circulation re sulting In a cradnai decline of Inflammation as in dicated by the pulse, which soon resumes its nat araf state, aa the heat and pain disappear. - Such ia its potency, that like the viiuajust mentioned, it requires what merely adheres to the point of a quill dipped into a solution of it, to affect the en tire system but must be instantly used to prevent decomposition: and secure its full virtue. Thee quills io acute, and two in chronic disease, every 24 boars, till the Beat and fever have subsided and a perfect cure effected. When it takes the placeof Leeches, Stimulating Ointments and : Blisters in Local Inflammation.as Brain Fever, Croup, Tooth ache, Pleurisy, Ac, its mode of administration Is two-Iold. (See direcliontfor disseizing, etc.) ' 5FThe peculiar excellence of this Salt is" that without the useless loss of blood and strength, it effectuallycures Inflammatoty Diseases (np oth ers) by producing an equilibrium of all the fluids in the body and a consequent uninterrupted circula tion. The lollowing different ?rm which the on balaneedfluid8 assume, and many not here men tioned, that nave more or less lever or pain, are as perfectly subdued by the Antiphlogistic Salt, as fixe is extinguished by water. , -;- ?

J-Persons who have a tendency of blood to the Head and Heart, or lead inactive lives, or breathe the impure air of manufactories and the poisonous lames of metals and minerals, or live in unhealthy climates, are exposed to a peculiar zitialim qf the fluids of the body, which one dose, without interfer ing with diet or business, once in Viree months, would invariably prevent.
