to arrest Montgomery at all hazards, he
should deal the same by the Missouri often
ders. who are now said to have an extensive
secret organization, known as the Ozark
Lantern" society, extending not only thro'
the Missouri border, but into Arkansas and
Texas, whoce ayowed object it is TO wipe
out the Fres State men of Kansas, a. some
future time. when all things shall be made
ready. We are as far from unfolding Mont
gomery as We are from upholding the Mis-
sourians in committing wrong. We believe
he has done wrong-violatedth the laws of his
country, and he should suffer the severest
penalties of the law in such cases provided /;
and furthermore. if he attempts to invade
Missouri. as is alleged is his intention, we
hope he may meet the same fate as did the
delIded John Brown in Virginia. But
what we want to sec is fair play. We only
ask that Missourians shall not be allowed to
come into our Territory and violate our laws
with impunity. That's all. We await the
arrival of the next mail with considerable
anxiety.

THE SECESSION MOVEMENT.

The Southern Journals are filed with long
accounts of meetings in various parts of the
South, at which divers and sundry blood
and thunder resolutions have been passed,
strongly favoring secession. notification,
revolution and treason. Upon a cursory
view of their proceedings. one would think
they really ''meant business" bat upon
close examination, it will be seen that no
one has as-yet, proposed anything practical,
any plan of procedure, by which the much
talked OF dissolution is to be effected. Our
81 uthern neighbors are noted for conyen-
tons. resolutions. fiery speeches and the
like; bat we believe they are not particu-
larly noted for those qualities which go to
make great and prosperous confederacy !;
and We shall not lose much sleep from fear
of dissolution of the Union, until we hear
of something more tangible. than the growls
of disappointed politicians. The richest joke
in the whole movement, is the resignation
of Southern Federal officers, ito take eject on
tie fourth Of lMaTch nert." What an i'm
mense sacrifice these patriots do make for
Southern honor! They ought each of them
to be presented With leather medal by

The people of Leavenworth City held a
meeting to consider the state of affairs ex-
listing in South Eastern Kansas, on tie eve
ming of Nov. e4th. The following resolu-
tons were passed:
ResolUed, That, without expressing any
opinion as to the causee which may have
led Montgomery, Jennison and their fol-
in opposition to them, to the renewal of vi
olence and disorder in that section of Kan
sas, we regard it to be our duty IS citizens
of the Territory to denounce their unlaw-
full and insurrectionary acts and to support
the executive authorities of the Territory in
restoring and preserving the public peace.
ResoIUed, That the recent expulsion by
the General Government of settlers, in the
County of Cherokee, from their homes on
the Neutral Lands, at the beginning of their
homes on the Neutral Lands, at the begin.
ming of winter. and in season of utter des-
titution and famine, was an act of cruelty
and oppression unparalleled III the history of
a free people; but that such expulsion can
not afford even a plausible pretext for ad-
ding to the miseries of the people by the
renewal Of civil war in the counties of
Bourbon and Linn.
Resolved, That having settled beyond a
doubt the question of slavery in Kansas, we
condemn all attempts to embroil US in con-
troversies and collisions. arising out Of that
question, with the people of our neighbor-
ing State, whether made by disunionists
without or by nullifers within our borders.
Speeches were made in support of these
resolutions, by Hon. Thos Ewing. Col. Del
ahay, H. p. johnson. and other prominent
citizens.

TROUBLE ON THE BORDER.

Again the tocsin of war is sounded in
South Eastern Kansas. 1t is rumored that
Montgomery is encamped somew where in the
vicinity of Fort Sect, with $40 men, well
armed and equipped for regulaE'camPaign.
and that IT is his intention to burn Fort
Scott, BarnsviIle. etc, in the Territory, and
wind up by an invasion of Missouri. The
reason of this warlike attitude of the citizens
OF Linn and Bourbon counties, is to revenge
the depredations of nest of Missouri Kid.

stated that Montgomery's party is composed
principally Of those-men who we're driven

. The report that any town has been sack
ed. or that Montgomery ard his men had
made any foray on the Missouri border,
needs confirmation. Neither can We see
anything in our last exchanges to make
US believe that the Z. s. District Court was
broken up by them, as was reported few
days ago. No doubt but that threats had
been made by Montgomery. against the
Court: but Judge Williams escape to Mis-
souri, was very evidently caused by fright.
Captain Jenuison. one Of Montgomery s
leading men. has hung and shot three men,
named Sect. Kinds and Moore. The charges
brought against them were, that they were
engaged in the killing of some Free State
men last spring, and at divers times in kid
negroes.
Gen. Harvey has been ordered to The sea,

In view of the anxiety manifest among thu
people in regard to the efforts being made te
procure aid from the East, the undersigned
Executive Committee of Central Kansas Re
lief Association, deem it proper to publish
the following statement relative to the actor
already taken by the Society, and the result
obtained.
Il will be remembered that the Directors
of our association when chosen were in
structed to employ agents to solicit con-
tribulions Of the people in the States. Ii
pursuance of such instruction some three
or four persons have already been sent or

been but lately effected consequently moth.

ton: Gen. Pomeroy refuses TO recognize
this Association as the proper medium
through which to distribute the supplies,
which he is receiving. intended for this por-
ton of the Territory. Soon after the or
ganizatien of this Society, the Secretary was
instructed to inform Gen. Pomeroy, and to
solicit his cooperation in procuring reduc-
ton in freights. An answer was received,
in which he informs US that he is hsppy to
hear of our organization. hoped we would
act vigorously. and concluded by saying that
ty, would be done without trouble or expense
to US. He lately informed US that he had
goods in store subject to our order, but on APP
plication being made for them, he refused to
deliver anything to our agents. and now

agency as proper to receive and distribute
supplies. but the township committees ap-
