Flllibustering Extraordinary = Kansas
to be taken By Arms-Missour1 % be
Invaded.
In the Detroit Advertiser Of the 26ih of
January, we find the following:
- ss - A private letter
to the editor of the Evening Post, dated
Lawrence, Sunday, January 9th, is among
the con6rmatory evidences at hand, to
strengthen this belief. The extract to
which we refer is as follows:
We are threatened with another inya-
sion On the 9TH of March to arrest the Of
ficers of the Government under the Con-
stitation.and it is reported that companies
are drilling IN Missouri for that purpose.
In view Of the past, would it not be
well for all who are willing to act for the
cause, to enrol, arm, and organize them
selves into military companies throughout
the northern States, and have it under
stood that SO soon as the Missourians COM
mence marching upon Kansas, northern
army of overwhelming force would COM
mence their march through Missouri q
Also. let committees be appointed TO collect
funds. and deposit them ready for use at a
moments notice, to bear the expenses of
the campaign"
e.
Several of our citizens design to visit
the East in a few days TO lay our cause be-
fore the country, and among them are Gen.
Lane, ]. S. Emory, Esq, and others
Gen. Lane. is ready, since the war, TO come
out on the mo more Slavery in Territory
or States platform, and go in for fusion of
all parties North for the next campaign.
You remember he was an administration
democrat-Emory Also
! sP. S.-Neyer was man in such an
awkward fix as Governor Shannon. He
is the laughing stock of everybody here. ;"
In commenting it says:
1--WE trust that whatever
movement it is deemed best to make, in
strengthening the hands oil the free emf
grafton of Kansas, will go forward at once
The arms, men and money, if any are to
be contributed by Michigan, should be on
the way within the next twenty days to be
of any use. Unless they are reinforced,
the friends of freedom In this State may
confide ntly look for bad news from the Ter
, ritory."
Can any sane man longer doubt the in
tentions of this move of Ae abolitionists in
Kansas. It is not the work of the miser-
able. serfs in Lawrence, but a regularly
laid plan, digested and agreed upon by the
abolitionists throagho<a the Union. Mich
igan is expected to do her part, and the
men, money and arms" must be ready
in twenty days, to do what2 Not merely
TO go to Kansas to becoms settlers, and in
case of injury done to themselves or fami-
lies, to fight; but to march into Missouri
| with an overwhelming army2"
Can any man doubt, aAsr seeing the
expose made by Gov. Shannon, and the
message of the President, that the North
are Ignorant Of the fact that the aboiitionists
We're the aggressors and not the aggrieved
party in the late disturbances here What
do these preparations meana There can
be but one answer. They evidently are
trying to do what they have accused the
pro-slavery party Of having done, that is
to :" conquer the country"
We warn our ne'ghbors of Missouri to
look out for these allies of the negro thieves.
We know it is only necessary for us to
sound the Sc alarm" for you to be prepared.
In kindness, we will say to these fill
busters. you have mistaken your g calling"
Fillibustering is Southern institution-it
don't suit the genius oftke makers of wood
en- nutmegs and yankee clocks; and, be.
sides. its very expensive amusement, this
playing at the game of war. Better stick
to your old occupation; there's more money
in 1t, and not half the danger.
