We think The Platte county people, whel
they come to reflect coolly on their conduct
will be heartily ashamed of it. 1t is unworthy
the liberal spirit of the age, and unbecoming
the chivalrc character of Mssourians Yet
they are not so much to blame for the affair,
as the arch'demagogue, Gen. Atchson, and
his subordinates who have instigated it. Atch.
ison's voice is not to be heard, nor his name
mentioned but he is at the bottom of the
business. He has famed the slavery excite.

threatens yet more terrible results than have
yet transpired. What do the repealers of the
Missouri Compromise think nowf Are the
fruits of that repeal so glorious and proms'
