and E. G. Renick, from the seat of war,
in substance as follows:
'Jones will not make move until
there is sufficient force in the field to in
sure success. We have not more than
three hundred men in the Territory. You
will therefore urge all who are interested
in the matter to start Immediately for the
seat of war. There IS no doubt IN re
gard to having a fght, and aDe all know
that great many haze complained be-
cause they soers disappointed heretofore in
regard to a fight. Say to them aos0 is
the time to shoa0 game, and IF ace are de-

the South. 's 81

INDEPENDENCE, Dec. 5.
cit is anticipated that the attempt to
take the offending parties in Lawrence
comes off tomorrow. Pomeroy has
been arrested as one Of the aiders and
abettors of the treason party, also Judge
Johnson nj
The Brunswicker, commenting upon
our difficulties. and of the people Of
Lawrence, says -
"We are of the opinion these fellows
need sound thrashing. The disease OF
notification has taken strong hold on
some of them. 1t has become thorough
ly incorporated in their blood, and
rankles through every vein. For this
disease, the very best remedy is blood
letting. A very few drops will suffice ;
a radical cure will be effected and these
nulliGers will be the most loyal citizens
in the land.
"We advise all Missourians to keep
entirely clear of this difficulty. A little
indiscretion, on our part, might bring
about consequences of a very serious ma
ture. If Missourians interfere on the
law and order side, the people of Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania, and Massa-
chusstts would have the same right to
assist on the side of the Abolitionists.-
Coz. Shannon has no right to call on
Coz. Price for aid neither hasany Ms
sourian any right to go to has assistance.
This is CRISIS that will try the nerve
of the President; it will also attest the
devotion and loyalty of the several States
in the Union. If Missourians behave
properly, we have no fears whatever as
to the result. We should set the exam
pie to our sister States, by remaining
passive spectators Of the scenes in our
neighboring Territory, and not active
participants. These disturbances we
know will be put down as the law di-
reefs" g
Our neighbor lays down a correct
proposition when he says the people Of
Missouri have no right to interfere in
these difficulties. 1t would have been
well to have taught them lesson in re-
gard to meddling in other peoples bust
ness which they would have always re-
membered. ass
The Occidental Messenger, of Inde-
pendence, No., of the 9th inst, furnish
es additional evidence of the vilIainous
interference of Missourians in our Ter
ritorial troubles in the extract given be-
low. 1t makes the blood of freemen
boil with rage to think that Missouri inn
poses laws upon US without our consent,
and then raises money by contribution
and sends armed desperadoes here to
enforce those laws. Every person who
came to Kansas from Missouri on that
occasion merited grave at the expense
of the Territory. and that grave should
have been such as were awarded GRIM
inals in olden tina.
