house. and ordered other pro-slavery men TO
leave, and burned their houses.
Deputy Marshal Jones arrested tho leader
of the mob. and obtained the names Of TWEEN
ty Others. Jones is now in Lecompton with
two prisoners and fifteen OF twenty assistants
The abolitionsis are gathering at Lecoml ton,
demanding the release of their comrades and
the surrender at Coleman. The Governor
has issued proclamation calling the militia
TO the assistance OF the officers. Last night
and this morning many persons from this city
and county started to Lecompton tor the pur-
pose Of placing their services ut the disposal
of the Governor. A letter rom one OF the
editors of the HeStera D,sBatch, dated at
Shawnee Mission to- day, states that the writer
has learned that q number of citizens are
missing At Hickory Point. and that sixteen
OF more houses had been burned. The Gov
ernor calls on law abiding citizens to suppress
the outbreak. Dispatches from Weston and
s.. Joseph last night state that large meetings
nj the citizens have been held, and companies
formed to so on to kanzas"
il is plain enough that this dispatch did not
state the truth honestly, and taat it was meant
to serve some sinister purpose. 1t appears
that other dispatches had been sent. and the
ST. Louis Iaie}ligencer comments on the mat
ter thus:
The feature OF the case that we wish to
comment on Is thiS-The first news of the af-
lair thar reached jefferson City. W ere the
Missouri Legislature Is in session. was bv
dispatch from GF. Boone, citizen of Jackson
County, Missouri. to NJ Mccarthy. mem.
Der Of the Missouri Legislature. That dispatch
contained this sentence
Z" We want help. Communicate this to
your friends"

wants help" And what do they want that
help for; Do the citizens OF Missouri want
help; Who or what is putting the citizens
OF Missouri in peril, so that the Legislature
and the friends; AT Jefferson must help -
Is It not the government Of hanzas that wants
help Il so, lei them call on President Pierce
Tor assistance. kaazas is under the care OF
the Federal Government. Missouri has no
cuty 10 form in the premises. The people of
Missouri are not the right ones to be called
upon 70 back up the miserable political pup
pets that Frank Pierce shall send ont from the
Eastern States To play the fool and introduce
bloodshed and anarchy in kanzas.
Now, let Pierce reap the fruits of his imbe-
cillty. Let not the people 81 Missouri bv
any urgent appeal or cunning device, be dawn
into the Internal feuds of kanzas. Il looks
very much as if there was u preconcerted eff
Iort TO do this very thing. Our dispatches
from the West say that parties have already
proceeded from independence into Kanzas
snd that meetings have been held at Weston
and ST. Joseph, and companies formed to 90
to kanzas.
And now, foTsoosh, the United States off
Gals in kanzas, and the all prevailing pro-
slavery people OF Kauzas, are in deadly peril,
and dispatches from Weston and St. Joseph
state that large meetings of the citizens lave
been held, and companies formed to go to
Aanzas. Ali to protect that country from the
paupers and hirelings' lately shipped to Kan
zas, like so many cattle, we are informed, at
the expense Of Emigrant Hid Societies.
1t does seem to us that one Of the devils
own choicest humbugs is exploding in this call
on Missouri for help
