In Kansas a pro-slavery movement is afoot to
procure southern emigrants to aid in combating
abolitionists. The Herald of Freedom, published
at Lawrence, gives an account of the preparations
making there for the civil war expected on or
about March 4. It says
" Generals Robinson and Lane have adopted pre-nu-
tionary measures, and organised a regiment, and pla, ed
the several forts in charge of suitable persons, and these
are being guarded night and day to prevent a surpri,e.
In the meantime munitions of war are being collected,
and will be held in readiness for instant service. We
understand that an attack is also expected at Topeka,
and that our friends there are also preparing for defence.
The friends of freedom in the East may be prepared at
any time to hear of the blow being struck. When the
war shall be opened again in Kansas it will be under
different auspices than on former occasions ; it will be
a struggle in earnest, and we appeal to our friends in
the North and East to hold themselves in readiness to
march at a moment's notica to our rescue. They may
rest assured that the people of Kansas will stand upon
the right, and that they will die before they will surren•
der."
