the action Of the '.great convention at
Leavenworth on the 98th ult., called for
the purpose of deposing Gov REEDER-I
We have weekly perused the pro-sla-
very press expecting to find some allu-
sion to the subject, but thus far with no
success.
1t cannot be possible that the "chir-
airy" have concluded to let the subject
rest quietly, for if they should it would
have the appearance of backing down" -
at will never dotogive it up So" The
Governor must be deposed, gentlemen,
and on you devolves the great response
bilitE of accomplishing the work. You
have showed your prowess on several &C.
casions, and why not again. The Gov
ernor is in the way of your strides to
anarchy. He stands firm, and is as un-
yielding as the Constitution. Strike.
him down by all means. Then you can
demolish presses at viii then you can
exclude everybody from the ballot-box
but those who will carry out your direc-
tions; then you can use the bowie-knife
and revolver without mourning fearful
retribution. But you must get tool of
your own appointment substituted some
base hireling who viii carry out all
your schemes of vengeance. Fire and
sword must be called into requisition on
the plains of Kansas. The Abolitionists
mast and shall be exterminated the ma
ton over if you have only power to full
I'll your purpose. In the language of one OF
] your own papers, sup with the black flag
of slavery" and we would add tear in
pieces the flag of freedom, let its broad
folds which encirclea nation of freemen
no longer be desecrated by waving over
those who long for universal freedom.
You have much to dc, and are few in
numbers compared with the great body
of freemen. Almost surrounded by a
Gordon of free States, one half of your
own population opposed to your mobo-
cratic spirit, at least one-third held in
chains, which are easily broken, it is not
surprising that Youare getting desperate.
A bad cause: always demands desperate
means to ensure success, and it is very
well for you to employ them.
| But, see here did you ever take into
consideration that these miserable Yam
kee abolitionists,'' as you are pleased to
term all who do not chance to agree with
YOU, may not lie still, and quietly die
when you direct them to dose? Didyou
never reflect that your own bodies are not
invulnerable TO the influence of steel /?
or are you fiattering yourselves that you
are clad in panoply of mail which will
make You proof against injury? 1t
strikes US that even if you de get The
Governor out of the way land though you
come down in large numbers with your
"hemlp," and tooth picks, or even Gre
volvers," some of you may fall in the
contest, and it is possible your graees
eos" viii be called ignoJle, whilst the
names of those who fall by your sanguin-
AIRY hand will be treasuredup by freemen,
and preserved in the archives of history
by the side of the proudest names in
American history.
Go on, gentlemen, in your purposes.
You are the leading actors in great po-
litical drama. which may be instrument
tai in enrolling your names on the scroll
of infamy to be remembered by future
! generations as objects of loathing and
