beside il IS soon as they left town. 1 do not in
saorse such sentiment of course, but ] think it
had salutary effect The other reason was,
hesitation on part OF few of the more conserva-
tive of the Pro-Slavery men here who, like Davy
Atchison, at the Wakerusa. were afraid that too
much of good thing ight injure the Democrat
ic party" An effort was made to satisfy the victO
rious heroes of the balotbOx with their laurels for
the day. and the disbanding Ofthe militia" afforded
the means Of diverting the current.
The men were marshaled out to an open
space toward the back of town, and these came

Judge Payne. who now figured as Col Payne,
aaled the meeting to order that is, he tried to do
so, and also introduced the gallant Gen. EGstin to
the men whom he was about to dlsband, and this
he did in quite handsome manner.
Gen. Eastin was mounted on horse. He is
fal round shOuldered delicate-OOklng, tain-faced
man; hiss not very martial appearance, and made
q speech that was rather commonplace, but short.
He congratulated them on their good and orderly
conduct on which their recent occupation was an
excellent commentary. He also complimented
shem on their appearance, which was quite divert
ing, But by far the most important part OF his
speech, and one that would press earnestly on
fhe attention of the powers that be- was prOp0-
siton that these men should Immediately enroll
Themselves into regular volunteer companies as

three thousand stand of arms due the territory
from the United States and that If they took The
proper steps they could get them. AtrociOus as
this proposal may look, have investigated the
matter as far as possible and it is really the In
4eption thus TO get the arms designed for the de-
Tense of the Territory into the hands OF those who
are to invade it. A part of the force thus to be
armed will be Pro-Slsyery men, residents OF the
Territory; but the great bulk Of these arms would
thus find their way into the hands oil the Border
Rufians. Let those in authority see to this i'm
portant matter.
