under the beconpton Constitution, be he a Free
State man or otherwise. The password to that
secret organization was LANE. The whole
plan Of assassinatons, &C., are in the posses
sion Of good men in Lawrence, and have been
for long period.
But there was a peacef ful adjustment Of all
these matters, because Congress did not give le
gal sanction to the Lecompton Swindle. The
southeastern border, however, was made the
pretext for keeping alive this war movement
There gathered the "buzards" again, and into
active service was called all their mackiner for
again involving the country in strife. "Ran-
dolth," alias VIM. Hutchinson Phillips, Kagi
Hinton, and all that class Of men, were active
in trying to keep Eastern public opinion with
them. While at home. their organ, the Law
renee Republican, and several lesser sheets, were
doing all in their power to influence the public
mind. Falsehoods as in the former case were
their principal stock in trade, and all who did
not join them in their revolutionary schemes
were branded as renegades from the Free State
party.
Old John Brown, with his minions who
opened the bloody issue in Kansas, by murder

Creek, at midnight, on the 25th of May, 1856,
appeared and took charge of the marauding for
ces They attempted to make the whole pop
ulation Of Missouri responsible for the horrid
murder near Chattaue's Trading Post. Brown
was in constant intercourse with men in the
East, who declared on the stump, and in all
their published correspondence, that their "only
hope of abolishing slavery in the United States
lay through revolution;' ard from them he re.
ceiyed funds from time to time in prosecuting OF
his war schemes. When Montgomery discov-
cred Brown & Co.'s plans of revolution TO his
credit be it said, he protested, and in conse-
quence of their quarrel, probably, more than
anything else, the latter made brilliant coup d
etat into Missouri, killed Crew, took his slaves
and made forced march to Canada, receiving
any amount of "aid and comfort" from his co.
horts along the route.
At this time Doy was arrested in violation o.
law, and removed outside Of Kansas. Then the
excited lightnings flashed again. Lane haran-
gued crowds nightly in Lawrence. He was
ready to march into Missouri, and release him
by violence, and all the indOrsers of 'bloody
issue" cried, amen. But their schemes all fail
ed and the principal public actor, who had cour'
age and desperation sufficient to carry into ex-
cution his plan without regard to cost; and who
in the interim had returned to Kvnsas took hia
leave, and determined upon Immediately con-
sumating plans long since laid for operation
elsewhere, should he fail in again embroiling
the people of the Kansas border. We allude to

.. THE HARPER'S FERRY PLOT. ..
| The whole plan of the organization, mode O
operation, &c. it seems, has been known in
Kansas for a long time. We are told by parties
who were in the secret, that the plan Of Old
Brown & Co. was to strike such bold and Wig
orous blow as to intimidate the entire popula
tion of Virginia and the South, who are known
to be exceedingly timorous over their slave pop
ulation. With his few immediate support tiers
he was to take possession Of che armory, while
others, with teams, were to carry the arms and
military supplies to the mountains. In thos'
fastneses he was to erect his independent stand
ard around which the negroes were to assemble
A secret organization, permeating all sections
of the North, with powerful backing in Kansas
was to furnish recruits. Thus strengthened
they would be able to bid defiance to State anC
federal authority, and though q seven years
war would follow, or though it should be pro
tracted through half century, they would
keep alive their movements acting mostly upoI
the defensive at first till the negroes of the Can
adas and Of the South could give them sutticien
strength to justify aggressive movements.
The Republican party, iftrue to itself and it
own best interests. will everywhere denounc'
the reasonable enterprise, and all its aiders ant
abetors. II they do this some distinguished as
pirants for office, noW in Kansas, will find them
selves minus position few months hence. =
We have facts and figures in our possession
whenever they shall be called for.
OrThe above articles from the Kansas Her
aid Of Freedom, paper which has up Chase 70
President and Banks for Vice President, take
the wind out OF the sails OF the Republican
who palliate old Browns acts because, as the.
claim, Of the bad treatment of him and his son
in Kansas
