schome which has been plotted and arranged,
and is now being executed. The first part OF
the scheme was to defeat the appropriations for
the Territory of Kansas, and, if possible, to par
alise the civil government there. The next was
to organize q body of aned desperadocs to in
vade Kansas for the purpose Of getting up civil
war. Tho political party with which the scna-

employ men and supply, arm, and equip them to
invade Kansas, for the purpose of making wal

had their men lowering on tho western boundary
