THE CONSPIRATORS OF THE CAPITOL AND THE
REBELS OF KANSAS-THEIR CONCERT.

THE CONSPIRATORS OF THE CAPITOL AND THE
REBELS OF KANsAs-THEIR CONCERT.
In the edition of Saturday morning stated very briefly
views in regard to the Kansas question 1t seemed to
us plain that doubt could exist in the mind of
any intelligent to the wisdom of what had been
done The official documents which we then published
we believed would be more satisfactory to the public
than any argument however forcble. They presented
the facts. They conclusive Of two things. The
first is that unlawful combination of men, with
in their hands and treason in their hearts, wicked
and desperate and organized then within
the Territory prepared to levy war; and resolved to do
it. The second not less obviousthat in order to
prevent the overthrow by them of the government and
the issue of civil war; it necessary that the power
of the United States should be promptly exerted Such
the history which then presented for the consideration
Of the American people In edition of Saturday
ing again particularly reviewed Of the official doc
uments which we have published Our purpose to
present distinctly to the public mind the orbearng
spirit in which the Executive had acted from the first
the last-how the whe were contemplating treason
were soemnly warned and commanded dest from the
crme-how all those in authority whose duty it
act endeavorng, in concert to prevent any catas
trophe possible by the moral force of and of
law but if failing in this how they prepared and
resolved suppress instruction arrest civil war; and
to put end to the bloody schemes of the traitors.
Ours is emphatically government which acts in the
light of day and has concealment Honesty and
patriotism need We were therefore, permitted to OBJ
tain those documents and have published them for the
information of the public The American people full
of anxiety know the facts which had hitherto been per-
verted by false representations They had much stake
the peace and happiness and union of their country and
to them the TRUTH fairly told, would be invincibe Mr.
Madison the father Of the constitution when opposing in

ousy coutrved and wckcdy spread by corrupt and am
bilious in several sections of the republic the time has
come connerion with the publication of those facts to
appeal to that second thought and judgment of the people by
searching scrutiny into the plottngs of that vare-
gated ambitious and putrd party which have brought us
the painful the unequal trial of arms between t,r
victims whom they have made drunk with the hope OF

show that there were the l1a Of August twelve hun
