The Kansas Troubles,

New YORK, Nov 22.-The New York papers pub
fish dispatch from Warsaw, Mo-, stating that a
handful had been circulated there calling the citi
gems to arms to arrest the raid and outlaw, Mont.
gomery, and cut the threats of him and his follow
ers. A meeting had been held and resolution ad
opted calling on the President for assistance. The
Governor of Missouri had taken prompt steps to
protect the citizens of Kansas and the border.
meeting was held at Leavenworth and resolutions
adopted calling on Gov. Menary to enforce the
law and establish order.
The latest advices from Kansas City state that
Dr. Mossey, who left Fort Scott on Tuesday, reports
that the statement in regard to the burning Of the
town was untrue Five men had been murdered by
Montgomery and others captured we're probably
killed. -. 'sf.. .'~'
WAsH1sGroS Nov. 29.-The administration re-
ceived some additional intelligence to-day from Kan
sas, showing that Montgomery was continuing his
raid seizns property Of the government as well as
private property, and converting it TO his own use
= All the necessary steps have been taken BY the
administration to bring this notorious bandit to sub
lection If caught he vii be dealt with very sum
marily by Gen. Harvey. Iss,ss. ~ 80, !.

1t will be seen the Governor has failed to say any
thing in his message in regard to the Judiciary be-
cause as We suppose, the recommendations of his
predecessors heretofore had no effect. But we can
hardly suppose the present Legislature can fail to do
something in the matter. What possible advantage
can it lie to the public to require the three Eastern
Judges 10 ride six or eight hundred miles to reach
the first Court the Western Circuit, and to be alb
sent four months from home? The least, we think
that can be done, would be to add another Circuit
divide the State into two divisions and assign four
Judges to each. This would add but little to the
expense, the eight terms ove- twelve, for which
they are paid, amounts to Sl,440, nearly equal to
the salary Of the Judge The Railroads have facili
taed the trouble of travel but have not essened the
expenses 1t is now twenty-four years since the
present rates of compensation were fixed by law !;
since which time the expense in travel alone has
increased more than % per cent. The thing is so
palpably unjust, we hazard nothing in saying this
change would meet with public sanction.

DEAR SIR: As there seems to he great diversity
of opinion as to what North Carolina ought to do
under existing circumstances, hope you will allow
to suggest to the Legislature and the people of
the State the course which think ought to be
adopted
In the first place. think the Legislature ought to
pass law for the immediate reorganization Of the
militia.
In the second place, think the Legislature ought
to pass law appropriating sum sufficient to arm
all the volunteer companies and the militia with the
most improved arms and the very best munitions of
war; so to place the State in the most thorough
and perfect condition of defence.
In the third place, the people of the State ought
to declare, in the most explicit and unqualified
terms their determination to protect the honor of
the State, and defend the rights Of the citizens of
North Carolina.
In the fourth place, they ought to assert in Ian
guage which cannot be misunderstood their sole
right the last resort ofthe naction of their
Constitutional rights, and the mode and measure of
redress.
In the fifth place, North Carolina ought to stand
ready to resist the administration of the General
Government upon black Republican principles, and
to resist any attempt that may be made to coercc
any State into the Union that may secede for
satisfactory to herself
These my views Mr.. Editor, and l hope you
will concur in them.

Give them NO Quarters.

9.-... O1V6 tnem NO ,QuAIVcISss
We tell the people of this State that we have rea-
son to believe that the dsunion leaders Of both par
ties are already parcclling out the Offices under the
new order Of things which they are seeking to es-
tablish. The lust for Office under new forms has
much to do in exciting and pushing forward the dis
union movement The Southern States it seems,
are to be consulted but no demand is to be made
the North to do us justice. ~
We appeal to the people of the State to hold meet
ings and rebuke these calculations and these dis
union schemes. Rouse up, We men of the State Of
all classes and all parties, and take the affairs of
your own government into your own hands, Rouse
up, move and you will find speakers and leaders,
So far as the Democratic party is concerned it must
be purged of its disunon elements, whether the
State shall stay in or go out Of the Union. 1t must
be delivered from the influence of tme-scrvers and
ofice.hunters. and the "Old Guard" who stood by
Jackson and who elected Reid must be restored to
full standing and influence. We must commence
where we did in 1913, and fight uphill until we
again triumph against foes both inside and outside
The party. We must give no quarters now or here
after to the disunionists

and Keitt and their followers! God save the State
of North Carolina, whether she be right whether
she be wrong, but may she always be right! God
save the Union of the States according to the Con-
stitution! God save the banner of the stars and
stripes, radiant with the lustre of an hundred battle
fields. When, in 1882, the Hon. Joel R Poinsett,
of South Carolina, was Minister to Mexico, in the

of all other countries had waved in vain as symbols
ofprotection to good men, and women and children
against the vengeance ofsanguinary mobs that BAN
of the stars and stripes unfurled above the
residence of Mr. Poinset and thithcr the threatened
and hunted victims of civil war fed for succor.-
That flag waved not in vain. 1t was at once and
universally respected. Those who stood under it
and looked up to it lived and they learned to love it
with renewed ardor as the symbol Of the power,
majesty and glory of united North. America. And
during the late war with Mexico, the regiment of
South Carolina was advancing under murderous
l. fire upon one of the Mexican Notifications, and when

and bore it bravely through the storm of battle
We repeat, that flag has never waved but for the
protection Of South Carolina. But she has Danish.

stead the emblem of disunion and discord. God
save her people from the calamties Of disunon and
from the burning disgrace Of dependence on foreign
powers!

An Unnrovuked Attack.

The last Wilmington Journal, noticing the pre-
sentaton to the Legislature Of the Wilmington res
olution, says
"Neither gentleman Mr. Hill and Mr.. Shaw. en-
tered into an argument upon the merits of the res
outions it being understood that all such argument
would be reserved for the time when the report of
the Joint committee on Federal Relations would put
the matter fairly before the Legislature. Such re-
ticence suited not the Hon. Bedford Brown, who
arose and pitched into them, delivering somewhat
peevsh speech, going for submission. Is Mr.. Brown
sore?
Mr. CIingman has received the caucus nomination
for Senator"
We repcl at once this assault upon the motives of
COL Brown, made as it is by dsunionist and con-
idential friend of Gov. Ellis. We believe that the
Senator from Caswell is actuated in his course on
the grave questions now before the country by the
highest and most patriotic motives. He is not a
sublnissionst, but would spring as promptly and as
boldly any to the defence of his natiee State.
A statesman who stood by Madison and the war Of
1872, who was the confidential friend OF Andrew
jackson, who has always been true to the federal
Constitution and the rights of the South, and whose
history for the last forty6ve years is part Of the
history of the State is assailed and magned because
he refuses to subscribe to the programme of dis
union.
Col Brown occupies the same position now which
he occupied as friend of Mr.. Breckenridge in the
late campaign He was opposed to disunion then,
and he is opposed to it now but he is not subms-
sonist
In 1910 Col. Brown resigned his seat in the Unit
cd States Senate under resolutions of censurc pass
ed by Wing Legislature; and such was the conf
dence reposed in him by Gen. jackson, and such
was his desire to see him again in public life, that
he addressed letter to prominent citizen of this
State strongly urging Col Browns reelection to the
Senate. This is the man, brother Democrats, who
is assailed and maligned by the Wilmington Jour-

Hon. Bedford Brown.

We did not have the pleasure of hearing him, but
we understand the Hon. Bedford Brown, of Caswell,
made an eloquent appeal in the Senate on Friday
last in behalf of Constitutional Union Mr..
Brown is opposed to disunon for existing causes
He is ready to give Mr. Lincoln trial. elected he
has according to the forms of the Constitution;
and he is opposed to any measures at this time
designed or calculated to precptate this State into
revolution and civil war. He is not prepared, as a
disciple of Jefferson Madison, and Jackson to de-
stroy our noble framework of government because
portion of it is out of order and may work badly.
On the contrary he would labor to repair the ma
chinery, and thus preserveit This is true Democra
cy. While he insisted upon the reserved rights Of
the States and maintained their right in the last
sort to discover their relations with government
which had violated the Constitution yet he not
prepared for existing causes to dssever those rela
tions, nor did he believe that sufficient cause was
likely to arise. ff it should he would meet it
firmly and would act with promptness and decision.
