complete FUNDS can be relied on to carry
out the scheme. The plan is, if Mis-
souri, invades us again, to put arms in the
hands of the slaves in the State, and
create an insurrection. Leaders are al
ready in the field who will conduct the
movement. 1t will be, in this case, a war
of determination. Missouri will blaze
from center to circumference. The
Southern States will sympathizo with her,
and rush to the rescue. The excitement
will spread and intensity, and the North
will pour in her hordes who will thus
grapple with the South in deadly en-
counter, foot TO foot and hand to hand.
The slaves of the South will rise in in
surrection at the same time, and gen.
eral and sanguinary war Of this kind will
divide the Union and liberate the slaves.
Such, in brief, is the plan and its conse-
quences. For this l live, and in this l
am willing to die. Speak your minds,
gentlemen"
Corvus-"I approve the programme,
but do not at present design to cross the
line myself Much yet remains to be
done in the Territory. l must, for the
present, restrict my actions to its bounds.
When my work is done, then 1 shall be
willing to cooperate with you beyond
the line. And let me say that my boys
will gladly do the same. You will find
them well disciplined, and efficient in
resolution and bravery"
Sly-"I heartily approve the pro-
gramme. want to live long enough TO
see the Sons of Freedom in full blast in
South Carolina. But every man must
work in his own proper sphere. Corvus
is doing a great work down South; we
need him this side Of the line while
longer. There are more men who ought
to be run out-that will provoke retalia-
tion-we have proof of that in the Marias
des Cygnes massacre. They will come
back for revenge. We shall repulse
them, and thus by little and little, the
whole border, and ultimately the whole
country will be in blaze. This is what
we want. But we must see that the pre-
sumption in the public mind is against
our enemies, and in our favor. For this
purpose great caution and stratagem is
necessary"
Kane-"Gentlemen, l not only concur
fully in the programme, but, as you
know, 1 have been long laboring-labor-
ing, gentlemen, for this very thing. The
organization of the Sons Of Freedom is,
you know, very extensive. 1t is, to-day,
stronger than ever. l stand head and
shoulders taller in this matter than any
other man. True, thought best to revoke
publicly the commission of Capt. Corvus.
This was for the public mind. Some
began clamor; some presses were loud
against US. Something must be done to
wool their eyes and allay the excitement
The commission was revoked. This was
for the outsiders to Look at. We thus
retain our influence over them, while
