An Arsenal Tax en- and = Town Cap
fuYeA.


Not many years sgo, the Border Rufbans,
headed BY one Thompson, made prisoner
OF Capt. Leonard, commander Of the Uni
ssd States Arsenal, took possession of the
Arsenal, and seised and carried on the arms
Of the United States. Capt. Leonard gives
this account OF the final catastrophe:
The mob proceeded to take arms, forcing
the doors, they took three six-poander, some
swords, pistols, rifles, powder, balls, &c., a.
much ~ they wanted. They broke some
doors open. do not know how they rot the
keys Of the powder magazine, which ID com
posed of brick and has double doors. Capt.
Rice WAS the leading man in the crowd, as
understood. Mr.. Rout was there. | Was
kept in the room until the men had got oil
the arms and ammunition they wanted,
and had gone away, Judge Thompson being
the last one, when he lot me 20 out, and
then left himself.
With these arms those Border Runians
went into Kansas and captured the town Of
Lawrence, destroying some valuable build
ings aad much valuable properly.
No United States marines we're sallsn ont
xguiuss tho insurgents mo oo~rss " Ssiiiiudd
70 try the traitors; no arrests were made,
and no proceedings whatever instituted to
bring the marauders to justice. The
United States tsmely submitted TO the indig-
nifty and shamefully surrendered its arms to
be used in battering down the property of
the sitissns Of Lawrence and shooting down
Free State men elsewhere. The men who
committed this deed Of violence and treason
were we'll known, and stand to-day in high
favor both with the Government Of Missouri
and that Of the United States. The crime
was - dark sad danning ~ that committed
BY Brown.
Why then did IL pass unpunished and even
unssnsured ! Simply because the deed VA
done BY Shareholders and in tbs interests Of
Slavery against Free State men. The Uni
ted States scillingsy submits to the seizure and
robbery Of her Arssnalsl by Shareholders, j,
10 only when the aot ID committed BY msr
from Free States that il becomes treason.
Brown and his associates learned the les
son Of seixing United States Arssnals from
the Shareholders, and seeing that the Unitst
States made no fuss about il, they nigh
have thought il oil right for Thorn to seis,
Arnories, too. The people Of the Unitet
States may now learn in the light Of thes'
two cases that the Law 10 not for slaveh older
but only for non Shareholders. That Slave
ry, Slave States and Shareholders are alik

What Mr.. Jefferson says of Federalism
"retiring into the Judiciary as its strong
hold" and "from that battery beating down
all the works Of Republicanism," could not
more forcibly describe the present position
and aims Of modern Democracy, which relies
wholly on the Judiciary to uphold oil its ia
grant usurpations, and all its outrages upon
the interests Of free labor and free institu-
tions.

The following letters from MIR. Jefferson,
written before and during his Presidential
term, read very mnsh like they wore intended
for the present times. They are prophseac
wAsH,EoroN, Dec. IA, 1900.
DEAR SIN: - Though our informa-
ton OF the votes OF the several States be not
Official. vet they are stated on such evidence
a. TO saiisfy both parties that tha Ksp4shlicaa
pofe has been successful. The Constitution,
30 which we are all attached, was meant 10
be Republican. and we believe il to be RI
PUBLICAN, ACCORDING TO EyEaY CANDID INTER-
IRRITATION. Yet, we have seen it 30 interpret
cd and administered as to be truly what the
French have called it, . mondrchis nasque.
Yet SO long has the vine run on this way,
and been trimmed to it, that to put her on
her Republican track win require all the skill,
the frmness, and the zeal, of her ablest and
best friends. II is srisis which calls on
them TO sacrifice all other objects, and repair
to her aid in this momentous operation. Not
only their skill ia wanting, but their names
also. 1t is essential to assemble, in the out
set, persons TO compose our Administration,
whose talents, integrity, and revolutionary
name and principles, may inspire the nation
at once with unbounded confidence, AND IN
POSE AN AWFUL SILENCE ON THE xALIoNxRs or
RrPuBLIcAEisx; as may suppress in embryo
the purpose avowed by one of their most
daring and effective chiefs, of beating down
the Administration.
This 10 COMMON CAUSE, NY DEAR SIR, cox

forward, then, my dear sir, and give Us the
aid Of your talents and the weight OF your
character towards THE NEW xsrABLIsHKHNr OF

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 1915.
DEAR SR: The state OF politi-
cal opinion continues to return steadily to-
ward Republication. To judge from oppo-
sition papers. stranger would suppose that
. considerable check to il had been produced
by certain removals Of public officers. But
this 10 not the case. All Offices were in the
hands Of the Federalists. The injustice OF
having totally excluded Republicans Was 40
knowledged BY every man. To have renewed
one-haIf, and to have placed Republicans in
their stead, would have been vigorously just,
when il was known these composed very
great majority OF the nation.
