GRAND CONSPIRACY 6QUATTER SOvER
EIGHTY IN NEW LIGHT.

EtGNTx IN NEW LIGHT.
Some little surprise has been manifested in some
quarters at MIR. Atchis0ns determination not to re-
turn to Washington City this winter. Occupying
prominent and important post as that of President
Uf the Senate and by virtue Of that hcing able to
give direction to much valuable legislation for the
country in general and his constituents in particular
it thought that the prom ptings of public duty
and patriotism would have mpellcd him to return 10
seat and play his part in the business of egisla
ton. The idea was thrown out, however, that the
desire to look after his political fortunes at Jefferson
City during the winter, the motive that kept him
while to prevail as the right one.
But new light begins to dawn. It is we'll known
that Atchson already holds undispused sway in the
camp of tho Anti Bentons, and that one of that
him for Senatorial honors. 1t seems to be quite as
we'll agreed that sincere friend Of Benton elected
to the legislature, can be brought to compromise"
On Atchison. The Wings hold the fate of Atchison
in their hands, and it can hardly be supposed that he
with all his ineveterate and sturdy hostility to the
Wing party, would stay at home TO court Wing sup
port in his election.
Rumo,s have lately been licking out, both in Mis-
souri, and in the East, connecting Senator Atchson
with secret "Fillibuster" scheme to make a foray
into Kansas territory, carrying the banner Of Slavc
ry or Banishmcnt," and forcib'y dispossessng and
expeling every man in that territory who will not
bow the knee to the behests Of the intolerant nva-
ders. We have been disposed to dscrcdt this story,
lar and lawless in its character,
But our faith begins to stagger. The old founda-
tons Of law and order are broken up, and pas, ion
and force rule the day.
lowing remarkable disclosure which has just been
made to US by one of the best men in the State,
say ,h0lder, Southern man, and for twenty years
a Nilsson -ian. Every word written down by him,
may be implicitly relied on:

---. Entering into familiar conversation
with me, he informed me that he, and others whom
he did not name, had been diligently at work for 20
days in the service of secret organization spreading
pretty much over the State, the object of which is to
make Kansas Slave State.
Knowing me to be . Southern man, AMI strongly
imbued with Southern principles, he did not hesitate
70 ask my co operation in the movement. lie said
that he was sworn not to irFart any of the purposes
OF this society, unless the individual approached
would enter into the movement willingly. Declining
to join this NEW institution without time for rehec-
ton, he REFEREES me, for further Information, to
tain suspicious gentlemen, with whom, however, am
not likely to have any consultation.
Now, do not know that this affair is worth the pa
per use in detailing it, But have thought it not
amss to put you on the lookout for developments
II is su rounded with FEASIBILITY sufficient to make
me think there is something in it.
The leading feature Of the plan would probably be
to transport force from Missouri, when the time
comes, sufficient to accomplish the end desired.
take it that this is a move Of Atchison and
Longfellow, with few others Of like mind and it
may be that your neighbors Of the Republican know
something about it.
My strong conviction is that Kansas can never be
Slave State although it might comport with the
inter ests Of Missouri for it to be made such. But
am firmly convinced that Kansas, if made Slave
State by the violent Eruption of citizens from
another State will never DO admitted into the Union
and when that state of things is up,n teh country
we will have tornado that will perhaps destroy the
Union, and bring blasting civil war, laden with
accumulated horrors and the desoaton Of generations
So writes our friend. Beinga hearty lover Of the
Union as 1t be does not care to peril it for Kan
sas. And being sincere supporter Of the principles
OF the Nebraska BILL he wishes the REAL settlers in
Kansas to regulate and establish their own insttu-
TONS and does not wish to have violent interference
from any quarter. That Missourians should actually
emigrate to Kansas, and carry their opinions and
slaves with Them he regards legitimate and praise
worthy, and has not failed to commend. But that
schemes ana purposes are on foot, locked under the
terrors OF :n OATH be regards Is unwise and danger
and the growth and trade Of our city that must per-
sh, if We get anarchy and civil war, through Atch
son s means, on the West.
We throw this disclosure before the public for their
judgment. We bold that II any measure d RIGHT,
Il has no need Of darkness and concealment. The
public will approve il. If the 10 wRoxo let
all good citizens their influence TO avert state Of
strife and bloodshsd in the West.
