GOV. WALKER’S ENTRY INTO LAWRENCE WITH FIGHT COMPANIES OF DRAGOONS.
LAWRENCE, K.T., Saturday, July 18}
Via ST. LOUIS, Tuesday, July 21.
Governor WALKER entered Lawrence yesterday with eight companies of dragoons under command of Col. COOK. He has camped close to town, in a threatening attitude. His proclamation, issued at Leavenworth, and dated the 15th inst., declares that he will not allow the people to adopt a City Charter. He went through Lawrence on his way to Leavenworth, last Monday, to see to this, but never spoke of it in Lawrence. His duplicity has cursged the people. They are determined to pay no attention to him, and will not negotiate with him. Although the Town Officers were elected last Monday, they have as yet taken no step-not even been sworn in. Governor WALKER has warrants for the arrest of those who were voted for and for many others, prominent citizens of Lawrence.
The design is to stop the August election, when the Topeka Constitution is to be submitted to the people. The people will not offer any opposition to the Federal troops, unless they fire on them or commit some other cuttage, when the civil war will at once be declared. They are resolved not to tolerate any more such villany. Gov. WALKER is in a bad scrape.
[FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT]
