The L~eavenworth correspondent of the Law.
renee (Kansas) Republican writes as follows
What shall l say when l come to speak of Dr..
boy and his son My heart bleeds wher l think
of the wrongs they are now suffering, and fires
with indignation a. the insult offered to them and
us-ani for whatf Nothing under Gods heavens
that makes them amenable to the laws Of any
place or people but our own. And yet these men
are caught, bound, handcufed, mobbed, insulted,
and threatened with burning-ard all at the
bands of human bloodhounGs, wearing Gods i'm.
age only as the livery in which they serve the
blacklist devil. And yet these men have committed
no crime-broken no law. They lived peaceably
with all men. But when some poor fellow,being
has come to them for aid, they followed the divine
command, and held out the hand of SYMPATHY
they were an hungered, and these noble men gave
them ~meat-they were thirsty, and they gave them
drink-strangers, and they took them in--sick and
in prison, and they came unto them and helped
them and for this, and for this only, this band of
fends took them from their homes to a prison; and
possibly to death. AS the party came into Weston
we heard the old man asked for a drink of scatey,
and even that was denied him, wiM curses. |
would recommend to those who thus refuse the
poor mans request, and to all engaged in that
worse than devilish business, to read the AID,
in connection with the first clause of the 10th
verses of the 25th chapter of the Gospel according
TO st. Matthew, if they can find a Bible in their
God-forsaken town.
A messenger, sent from here on Saturday, to
inquire into the condition of the two prisoners, re-
turned at evening from Platte City, having been
refused admittance to the Jail, and being almost
lynched himself, He fortunately had a copy of
the Daily Times. of this city, Of that morning, in
his pocket, and on reading that, they concluded to
let him go. 1t was the impression here, all day on
Saturday, that General Lane would return, per-
haps, with some of your boys. and the streets were
lined with an exciting crowd all day. We hope to
see him, and l would hail him gladly, especially
if he came with Montgomery for
some blast from HIS bugle horn
Were worth a thousand men"
Two reliable and responsible citizens Of Leaven-
worth rode over to Platte City to-day to demand
the rendering up of the prisoners. God grant
they may be successful. But if not, and if either
DR.. boy and his son, or either Of these messengers
are injured, or imprisoned, or insulted, God grant
that we may resent it with the spirit of men
engaged in a holy cause, and do battle to the end,
however bitter that end may be-. Talk about Lib,
erty, and these things done among us unavepged
Why, Liberty is farce Human Rights play
things; Honor and Truth myths, sygnifying no,
thing: No! the time will conceive cannot tell
when, but come it will, as surely as that God rules
and will maintain the Right-when Liberty, and
Freedom, and Law, and Honor and Truth, shall
be facts impregnable and sure-patent to every
man-surroundipg aud blessing our homes, our
fortunes and our institutions, defended and defend
ing. There ia a cloud over the Gun just now, but
it will break away, There is darkness, but there
will shortly be light! Can men who are men lay
down their arms in despair? / cannot believe it.
But l forget that ! am a n%ewsmonger, and must
leave exhortation to other hands.
