Startling News (!

We have startling news from Kansas. 1t
appears that the notorious Abolition thief and
murderer, Captain Montgomery, the compa-
uioa aml follower OF old Brown, in his Kan
aas mauraudcrs, has turned up again at the
head OF five hundred men, in a foray upon
the people Of Missouri ard Arkansas. Mont
gomery has just returned from the New En-
gland States, where, like Brown before him,
he has been collecting money and arms for the
purpose of carrying out this new outrage
upon the South. From his former connec-
lion with brown, it is reasonable TO suppose
that his present expedition IS instigatcd by a
desire to avenge the hanging of the Harper's
Ferry murderers His first attack has been
directed upon the pro-slavery +" men resid-
ing in the southern part Of Kansas. He has
murdered Mr. Moore, grand juror Mr.. Har-
10 rison. Mr.. Samuel Scott, and Mr.. Kinds, and
forced Judge Williams, of the District Court,
and the government officials, to fly for their
lives. These statements come from several
different sources, one of which is Judge viii
liams himself
These OuIdEtS are the lfuilo VI d ieEuihily
organized project to steal negroes, and muir
der "pro slavery men. Montgomery
openly ayowed object is 10 make a raid into
5Gssouri arkansas and Tends.
This raid comes quickly upon the heels Of
"a, election of Lincoln to the Presidency. 1t
rises up a ghas;ly contradiction to the asser-
tions of the Springfield speech-makers. AT
this time il will give tremendous force TO the
impulses that are distracting and dividing
ourunhappy country. The consequences one
may well shudder to look forward to, but
while the mouths Of northern men are shut in
presence of the just indignation of an ontrag-
ed people, these consequences should urge
conservatism everywhere to immediate efforts
TO breat down party which Intentionally
or Internationally matter which, gives
eucouTag cement to the purposes of its more
radical and client members. When the pro-
gramme of Helper, endorsed by the leaders
of Black Republcanism, brings forth such
fruit, who shall say that all good men at the
North should not band together to put it and
them DOWN.

THE KANSAS FoRAY Much excitement was
created in st. Lous, Mo-, by the news Of the
border troubles, and the Governor call on the
military. The brigade under General Frost
was promptly mustered into service, and on
the 25th left for the scene Of action. The bri-
gadc numbered about 700, embracing eight
companies of infantry and engineer corps, one
company of cavalry, and three pieces Of artil-
lery fully armed and equipped for one months
campaign. Major Bell, of the United States
arsenal, furnished full supply Of shot and
canister for the battery, 10000 pounds of
Minnie balls, and sixty rounds for each of the
Colts reyoyers.

THE Position OF MARYLAND.-The Frederick
Herald (Bell and Everett) thus puts forth its
views as to the position Maryland should as
sumo.
" As far as we have been able to gather the
sentiment of the people of Maryland, we think
one thing is manifest, that while they do not
think that the election of Lincoln to the Pre-
sdency is sufficient cause for any Southern
State to secede, they will oppose the use of
measures to coerce a State into the Union,
whose people may think differently from them
upon the subject. They believe that such a
course, upon the part of the general govern
mcnt, would only make The breach wider and
more irreconcilable, and destroy the little
chance there may be left of ultimately putting
things to rights again
"Though Maryland should assume a posi-
tion Of neutrality, it should he one Of armed
neutrality. We should be i4ily prepared for
any emergency that may arise. In these un-
certain times no one can tell what day may
bring forth The course of Montgomery and
his outlaws, in Kansas--hackcd by active
sympathisers in the Northern States, exhibits
the fact that the abolitionists are determined
to keep up the annoyance Of the border slave
holding States, commenced by John Brown in
our own neighborhood. ltwOuld be wise, we
think, in the people of Maryland, not to ne
gleet these warnings, but prepare in time for
the worst that may happen.

The Harper's Ferry Investigation
Gov. WISE

The Baltimore American, commenting on
the friitlessness of the Senate Committed
investigation of the Harper's Ferry business,
makes the following good hits-a justly severe
criticism on the /" How-not-to-do-it policy of
Mason's iRquisition:
A public dinner was given to the EX-Gov.
in January last, at the Exchange Hotel in
Richmond. After the cloth was removed, the
following fulsome and ridiculous toast was
given:
Henry 4. HIse-The statesman who hunts
through earth and ocean, the blue above and
the blue beneath, for Jewels to make Virginia
sparkle as the brightest star in the armament
of States, and who would hunt through crea-
ton to give to the Union the happiness and
peace it enjoyed under the ~fraternal guidance
of our fathers.
To which the hunter of jewels in the blues
that above and the other b~cneath-respond-
cd in a speech of great duration, in the course
of which speech he said
j. am not going into the causes, | am not go
irg into the facts Of the scenes of Harpcrs
Ferry. | have not said all l have to say on
that subject, and ] shall guard myself p%articu-
l,trly through life not TO say all | could say up
on it rubies would not win me to tell all the
facts Of the raid Of John Brown. | will not
tell to the world either all the facts in MY
possession, or ali my opinions on the subject
Of that tragedy. Ilave tod the world enough
for the Justification of my action in the case,
and there is much yet untold, which | will
! never Disclose, fer the reason that l would
conserve the peace between the North and the
South, and tell nothing which would unnccPs-
sar.ly ag;tate ard distract ci,hcr section"
Now it is Simply impossible that the IIar-
pcr's Ferry Committee Should be ignorant ci
this speech, and particularly of the part We
have quoted. Why have thy not summoned
this witness, this repository Of dreadful So
crets, this man who refuses to tell the word
all he knows about John Drown? Is it be
cause he saws l." rubies would not win him tc
teI!?r Why they might easily give him to-
PAGES, garncts. onyXcs, opals, what moi. lie
may be a ~rs,7ucso and have Il decided prefer
cnce for somc particularly precious stone
emcralds, perhaps, or agates. 1t would be
economy in the Committee to give him ever
diamonds if he wanted them. If rubies and
no other stones will win him to tell re
course might be had to the officers Of the law
1t is likely they could win " him much more
easily than he could " bag Boston. Let
! Henry \. Wise be summoned.

SoUTH CARoLINA.-By the Constitution of
South Carolina, the qualification of eligibility
to the Legislature and TO Congress is a large
amount Of p~roperty-either a freehold of five
hundred acres Of land and ten negroes, or Of
other real estate. TO be eligible to the State
Senate. Il larger amount of property is rcquis-
it,. The House consists Of l24 members, cho-
s N for two vears-thc Senate 81 members
chosen fer four years. Tho Governor, Lieut..
Governor, Judges, Secretary Of State, etc, are
chosen by the Legislature-the Governor and
Lett t. Governor for two years, and CT; h must
not own less than 1900 pounds sterling, OF 81
500 clear OF debt. All voters must be twenty
one years old, have resided in the State two
years. have fifty acres Of land, or a town lot,
or pay three shillings sterling tax. This gives
the whole GOVERN entail power to the landed
aristocracy. The apportionment for represcn-
tation made sixty years ago still continues.
which, in reference to the present white popu-
lation, gives the Legislature to a small mi
noritv.
This is the State from which we hear SUCH
loud complaints and threatcnings against the
general government. The truth is, the popu-
lar masses in South Carolina are infinitely more
oppressed by their own State Government than
by the general govcrnment.-Boston Journal.
