ted in substance, that Green was 10 be the |
leader Of the meeting--that he was traitor
to the South, and expressed the hope that
no pro-slavery men would Unite with him,
in the meeting. This was In the paper is
sued Immediately before the meeting was
held, and could not be replied to. The
meeting, however took place, and was COM
posed Of nothing else but pro-slavery men;
the very best the country has, and without
reference TO former political associations,
they cordially united in ratifying the Plat
form adopted by the Philadelphia Conven-
ton. Thus the meeting rebuked the Ban
ner.
Having nothing better to amuse our pen
with, we concluded 10 indulge the Banner
in little controversy on the negro question
and called for the proof of its assertion, that
Screen was traitor TO the South" A sec
ond demand for the proof was made, and the
last issue Of that paper attempts it. Itsays:
"ln regard TO the course of C. Fl. Green,
fully appraised, and were it not for the fact
that he demands the proof of his treason we
would willingly lei him pass"
So traitors themselves must demand the
proof of their treason, or you would will
lingly let them pass, would you? Call you
this defending the South3 Let traitors be
in your midst, and not give the people PROOF
Of the fact? 1t was easier 10 make the
charge than prove it, but we did not intend
to let you off so easily; we desired not TO
pass but wanted "proor," which it essays
TO give thus
at became necessary for the people of
Missouri to watch the movements of the
Northern Emigrant Societies, who were
threatening the people cf Missouri and Kan
sas with an abolition Crusade, and it was
deemed advisable for the people of Missouri
to counteract, the bane(ul influence about TO
be exerted:-we ask where was Clark II.
Green? Was he not IN the same pew with
Rollins, Blair, Davis & Co. And even had
the audaciiy to defend their Shameful course.
and he actually went SO far as to defend
Col. Davis, after he had made a speech in
Fayette, publicly repudiating the action of
the patriotic people Of Missouri who boldly
met the issue, and saved Kansas from the
grasp of tlie4oul aboitionists. But still Mr..
Green is a patriot. As well might those
tories who during the revolutionary strug-
kgle, who failed Il. take up arms against the
Americans, but who continued to oppose the
action of the American army, by7 their de.
lnunciaticn, and absence cIuiIned part Of the
success Of the American arms, as for Rol-
Inns, Davis, Switzler, Green and Taylor the
tow head Of the Randolph Citizen, to claim
any part Of the credit due those patriotic cit
liens, who saved Kansas and Missouri"
The readers of "The Times" will bear
witness to its course, and will recollcct its
repeated warnings TO the people of the South
o., the danger of losing Kansas, and its ap-
bpeals to them for action. The doings of the
Aid Societies of the Abolitionists were
chronicled, and our folks admonished to re-
newed zeal and activity. In our issue Of
the 9th of August, we told the Banner that
"the first Kansas meeting that was held in
Glasgow, last February, we believe, TO take
the initiative in forestalling the aboitlonsts

meeting above referred to, and all VIII
have read our paper, know the falsity o
the Banners accusation.
But we were found in the same pew will

occupy? We know Maj. Rollins was sian
dered about what he said, as he fully prov
ed. What Blair said or done we know moi
We did not hear Col. Davis speech, an
never published word about it. How
were we in the same pewp Rollins, Davi:
Switzler and Taylor, are pbundantly abb
: and can take care ofthemselves, and defen
their positions. We are at present defend
ing our own. The issue is between us an
the Banner. We do claim some credit fl

9 South in the Kansas affairs. We were in
u position to be Of benefit TO the South--dut
and inclination prompted us 10 do what W

This all know and acknowledge, who al
willing 10 do us justice, and the Bann'
must bring forward better proof to susta

Let the proof be forthcoming. Give I'D
