Border Runan Literature.

Border Rufian Literature.
The Star Of Esnpire is q fair specimen of
It's class. The following extracts are from
the last number.in which the editor gets off
an agitation article column long, adsocat-
ing a general hanging without Judge or
or JuIy," of certain parties hunting work
He says:
ssThe underground railroad from this
place, is via Kanzas City to Wyandotte.
thence to Lawrence, Emporia and Topeka,
by way of Quindaro The thieves are
amongst US every. day inciting slaves 70 Ia
ziness, rebellion and running-aWay. They
come In various disguises: we observed one
last week going around town with black
carpet sack, begging for money on the
ground of being Baptist preacher. recon-
mended BY the abolitionists of Neoshc City.
and strange to say, number of ladies and
gentlemen, deceived by his disguise, gave
the hypocrite money these hard times; he
came to the Editor for aid, and gotta flea IN
his ear for pay. We warn our friends
against such characters.
Others come as school-masters, hunting
situations: not long since, one such went to
the house of farmer, and after staying two
or three days, making fruitless efforts to run
off slave-woman, left with a fine horse
It shows that the man who is mean enough
to steal negro is not too good to steal a
horse. They also pretend to be hunting all
kinds of work: if a few of these scamps
were caught and hung without judge or ju
", good effect would be produced on the
rowing thieves -
The route referred to, viz: "Kanzas City,
to Wyandotte, thence to Lawrence, Empo-
ria, and Topeka, by way of Quindaro," ex-
hibits very profound knowledge of geog-
Iaphy. We had supposed that the editor of
that sheet was in Kanzas during the sum-
mer of 1856, on his thieving excursions
enough to know better. When he says that
hanging would have good effect on these
rowing thieves, we suppose it is candid
admission of what would have been good
for himself at the time referred to. The |
idea of .tAbolitionists of Neosho City" re-
commencing a Baptist preacher to the ten
der mercies of the people of Westport, wears
the marks of vsrqeity so plainly that COM
ment is superiuous. When he recommends
that those who are seeking employment as
teachers be changed without Judge or Ju-
ry,' we suppose that he regards education
to be inimical to the peculiar institution"
and National Democracy"
Again he says:
ga big, burly, saucy, free nigger who
walks the streets with a much more pomp- |
Gus air than President Roberts of Liberia, |
is IN constant correspondence with Bill
Oakes, the cbloroform barber, who stole No |
BILE Thomas pocket book and money. As
Post Master, the Editor knows this
We would call the attention of the Post
master General to the above. Post, office
secrets are thus betrayed by this editorial
Postmaster. What are We to think of the
man who could thus violate the oath of of
fce;-but then it is Fl. Clay Pate. Unless
the intense Democracy" of the above par
agraph save him, it ought to cost him the
Office he thus abuses.
In his article he takes occasion to charge
the people of Topeka with doing all mean
things, and he threatens its destruction.-i
His thunders include Lawrence and Empo-
ria. He says:
''Such is the conduct to which the people
of Missouri have to submit, all for the sake
of peace. We are not afraid to declare our
selves ready to make one of FIVE hundred,
who shall go and demand that Frank be !
given up, and in default, wipe out the ac- I
cursed sink of fanaticism. 1t deserves a !
worse fate than did Sodom and Gomorrah."
That Missouri should have to submit {
10 all these things "for the sake of peace %
IS very amusing. Our Border Rufian .
friends in Westport did not use to be scru- .
oulous about preserving 1.-THE peace. -
What is the matter with them? Why DONE !
hey let their fire and birthstone fall on Sod !.
I'm and Gomorrah? We are oyerpowered
~ their humane forbearance. Should the
five hundred referred to invade our soil, :
se- win remember the advice he gives in this !
rticle about how to treat growing thieves" .
