CIV. BRowS. Esq.-DeaE sir =
After quoting the telegraphic dispatch
in relation tethe alleged expulsion OF
Gen. stringfeilow from Weston, the
Kansas Sgaatter .Sorerss.ga. of Nov.
22d, makes the comments subioined =
"The above unquali6cdly false ex-
tract comports well with the servile
nature and contemplate disposition
of the Democrat, of St. Louis, Mo.
Redpath, or some other abolition min
ion, must have furnished this vile
slander upon the character of one OF
Missouri's best and purest citizens.
Gen. StriDgfellow is now in Weston,
enjoyin ing the society and confidence OF
its inhabitants, who are anxious to
elect him to seatin the United States
Senate, where, mentally and physi-
caly-if need there be-hc may deal
Brooks-like Nors upon the judgments
and cran;ums of those who would
willfully belle our citizens and their
institutions
'Redpath' presents his compliments
to the Sqaatter Sorere;;gn, and begs TO
assure it that not only did he not orig
mate the report referred to, but pub
licly doubted its accuracy, as soon as
it was published. 'Redpath' happens
to know-having once barely escaped
mob in Weston-that there are bull
lies enough in that town to defend
their Brooks like advocate, and eu-
logize him at any ii me.
Rcdpath, however. in all courtesy,
begs to differ from the Squatter Sow
ereign as to Gen. Stringfellow's char
acter.
Redpath would remind the Squatter
Sovereign that the "General"-who,
by the way, has no official claim to
that title-was expelled-is the Squat
ter Sovereign listening ?-was expel-
led, that is, DRIVER OCT of Savannah,
Mo-, by its outraged inhabitants, few
years ago! A representative to Con
gress from Missouri is Redpath's au-
thority.
The same abolition minion"
would remind the SGuatter Sovereign
that Gen. Stringfellow-the pure
B. F.-was run out of Weston, one
night, less than eighteen months ago.
Redpath would once more remind
the Squatter Sovereign that zone Of
AIissouri's best and puresf citizens"
he refers to Gen. straightforward to
leave the town of Leavenworth one
night last autumn in deuce of hurry.
Redpath would remind the Squattel
Sovereign that he was residing in
Westport, Mo-, when Gen. Stringfel-
low was confined to his bed in the Har-
ris House for several weeks-hiS illness
occasioned by bacchanalian debauch
with members Of the Kansas-Missou-
ri Legislature.
Redpath would respectfully remind
the Squatter Sovereign that there is a
man in Kansas called Ii. Miles Moore,
and that while H. Miles Moore eontin-
ucs to reside there. the less that is said
of Gen. Stringlellow's courage and
purity the better.
Redpath, finally, would remind the
Squatter Sovereign that he is familiar
with Gen. Stringfellow's unpublished
biography, and begs to state that un-
less his organ becomes more respectful
in its tone than it has been since the
first investment in Lawrence, he may
amuse his leisure hours by painting,
for the HERALD OF FREEDoM, the true
tportrait of one of "AIissouri'S best
and purest citizens" He may, also,
it is possible. have something to say
about Col" Stringsellow and a
bloodless duel that never came of.
