the NincenueJ and the captain Of the Viper shows

engage the lad in Cincinnati, look him with him

but due to MIR. s. that this correction should be
made by all papers which may have purposely or
innocently copied the item. We regret to have
been the occasion of giving it publicity, as we
would do no man so foul an injury as such an inn
putation would be certain to carry with it.-IfHS

him, but being strong they are watching him,
out Of gunshot, and have sent to Platte county
and Lecomp.ou for assistance. Some dozen or
two OF the old pro'slavery residents in and about
%Lecompton went up. 4 party Of some thirty

heard it. The locality is twenty-five miles from
Topeka and fifty from this place. The intelli.

A meeting was held in Lawrence last nigh, to
take into consideration the case of DR.. boy and
son, who were violently carried out of the Ter
ritory by Missourians, and are now lodged in the
Platte county Jail. A strong feeling of indigna-
ton pervaded the very large assembly. 1t was
determined that no more of such raids should be
tolerated, and that DR., boy must be relieved. 1t
was resolved that Gov. Medary shOuli be called
upon to demand their release from the Governor
of Missouri, and that il either Of the prisoners
were harmed that summary punishment would be
inflicted upon those men in the Territory who had
acted as guides to the Missouri party, and that

he hanged the first moment they were caught in
Kansas.-&. Louis Democrat.
