different members Of the group.
Gun speaks:
"You arc aware that B. advocates the
voting policy also, ho is in favor of elect
ing men to fill the various offices created
by the Lecompton Constitution. Besides,
he is down on jay-'awking haltogether.-
This will never do; he must be put down"
"Down with him." "Down with him." is
heard from each member present.
Cannon speaks:
Gentlemen, the scheme delights me
much. We must go to work in earnest,
and we can, by a succession of bold
strokes, bring the matter to focus"
"We are with you heart and soul' re-
spond the voices of Messrs. Wolf and
Crow.
Scribble speaks again:
Gentlemen, we have all one interest
in this matter; my voice is still for war"
"And mine," And "mine." /" We will
oppose the voting policy in any and
every form, under the bogus laws. We
will have Immediately new convention,
so Judge Carroty advises, and he is
head and shoulders taller than others
in point of legal lore. That convention
shall form a new Constitution, and when
that is done, should be under great obli-
CATION if you, gentlemen, would WELD
your vast influence in favor of my taking
under its provisions the gubernatorial
chair, favor which / will repay in kind.
1--WE will'' 1--WE WILL" say they all.
81 thank you, gentlemen. One thing
more. l am happy to inform you that
our mutual friend Sly will leave in few
days for the south part of the Territory
He will cooperate with US against B. He
is very efficient in pushing on the secret
organization Of the Sons of Freedom.
He bears, also, commission from Gen.
eral Kane to Rev. Capt. Corvus.
"Good!' "Good" say several voices.
"You know, gentlemen, the Rev. Cap
tain destroyed the ballot box on a certain
occasion. He did right, gentlemen. That
election law was never made for the pun
ishment of Republicans, but for Border
Ruffians"
"That's so !" say they all.
"Well, gentlemen, we all know what is be-
| ing done and what must be done. We must
cripple that d-d press by every means
in our power, among the most efficient of
which is the vast influence we can bring
to bear upon the public mind through our
correspondence with the leading presses
in the country"
Our friend, the Reporter, has sat during
all this time, occasionally writing few
words and, anon, hibbling the end of his
pen holder. He now rises-speaks
~ am delighted, truly. fully concur
in all you have done and resolved to do.
But you need an efficient organ, gentle
men. You are aware that the pres:
wields vast power. Permit me to solicit
your favorable regard for the 'Higlgayins
GaHinipper.' Your great influence WELD
ded in its behalf, would put it on a
firm basis; while, in return, you would
find it powerful auxiliary in the accom-.
plishment of your plans. Permit me
then, to recommend to you, and solicit
your patronage in favor of the Highly
ing Gallinipper. You need an organ, gen
tlemen, an organ different from any yor
have at present-the Gallinipper is en-
phatically the organ for your work, ant
I trust it will fully reflect your wishes ant
be true and faithful exponent Of tn,
} principles which you SO ably maintain
Our genius conducts us now to anothe
part OF the territory. 81
There stands lonely cabin in the wilc
