Lawrence, septs. 1856.
lwfoie goa IN my hast shout the efforts Of AZ
Gibson and hfs compeers to raise an invading ar
my, and Of the means employed by them 70 ef
feet this object wrote you OF their earnest
and patriotic appeais, and show your readers the
distorted facts which they pscsented to fan into
burning lame the easily aroused passions Of
mob also enclosed you NJ. Atchisonss adj
dress, which carries its rcfatation upon i,s face
Since wrote 70 you, nsv facts have been man
ufactured for consumption in Western Missouri,
~ for example the tsking Of Lecompsou, which
has NOT come Of yet, but which may happen
very soon. Then there was the rescue of the
firing gum OF the Gaited States troope. all OF
which Is very funny, when ne take into consid
Grafton the very funny fact that the . funny
things which Atchison and his funny newspapers
made such q blow about, never happened vel,
and don't believe any one of them ever viii
happen.
But Atchison and his compeers gained their
object, and that was all they cared about.
Whether the meeting at Lexington on the Goth
ult. was satisfactory or Otherwise am unable
to say. OF one thing am quite certain. and
that is, that the number OF men raised was not
SO large as they had hoped for Platte county
did not contribute more than i've hundred men,
perhaps not quite so many as that, even; and
there could nos have been more than one thou
sand raised in Jackson, Cass, and Clay counties
These, with about five hundred men already in
the territory, Of all ranks and conditions of men,
from the official, down to the starving stgentlc
men, who hive ON their neighbor's plumber and
Buiords promises, made the entire army about
two thousand armed men. These were distrib-
uted over the territory into which they marched
(aii except about five hundred at Leavenworth
who marched to Lecompton) from New santa
Fe, NO., as starting point.
ajPrevious to this, however the Carolina troop
perhaps it was part Of Davy's programme
kept up the work of building forts, passing
among themselves for colonial government (.)
