authentic Information, and in a few days we shall
expose the whole scheme: for. while we wish to
see the people Of Kansas determine the question Of
their own Domestic Institutions in forming their

We Judge, from tic tone Of letters appearing in
Georgia, Tennessee, aud Mississippi, that this
statement is correct. This is further Confrnted by
q letter from n respectable citizen Of Missouri to

Now, I do not know that this affair is worth

The leading feature Of the plan would prob

the time come, sufficient to accomplish the end
desired.
take it that this is a move Of Atehison and
Stringitllnw, with Il few fellows of like mind and
it may be that your neighbors of the Republican
know something about 1t.

me former comments on The letter OF Its cores
ondcHt as follows:
50 writes our friend. Being a hearty lover of
the Union as it is" he does not care to peril it
for Kansas. And being a sincere supporter of the
Nebraska bill, he wishes the real settlers in Kan
saS to regulate and establish their own institutions,
and does not wish to have violent interference
from any quarter. That Missourians should ac-
tually e%migrate to Kansas. and carry their princi-
pies and slaves with them, he regards as legitimate
and praise worthy, and has not failed to commend.
But that schemes and purposes are on foot, Ccked
un7er Tire terrorS Of an oath, he regards MS unwise
and dangerous, for it is the prosperity and peace
of our State, and the growth and trade Of our city
that must perish, if we get anarchy and civil war,
through Atchison's means, in the West.
We throw the disclosure before the public for
their judgement. We hold that if any measure
is right, it has no need Of darkness and conceal
mett. The public will approve it. If the meas,
nre is wrong, let all good citizens use their infu
ence to avert a state Of strife and loodshed in tht
West.
DouGLAs' scheme begins to develop. Bye ant
by we shall have the whole Of it. Ii is backed by
the ST. Louis RcpuI1icaH, wing, but the HaieNigeHcer
whig, and the Democrat, (Bentonian.) will expos,
and battle the yillainy. Yet the odds, we take it
arc in favor Of Atchison.
