The MONTGOMERY Raid.

! nave Oeen CoHtifOutiHg money, clothing
and provisions for the relief,as they suppos
ed, OF a starving people; 1t is from the
pen of correspondent of that paper:
| We have some reason 20 believe that
| the present attack of Montgomery upon
our frontier, is something more than the
raid Of a robber, and is the result of long
meditated and well devised scheme of Abol-
ltIon fanatIcism. la other words, it is
second edition of the John Brown outrage
The Aboitionists of New England are at
the bottom of and Montgomery is their
only instrument as was John Brown
months the conspiracy has been hatch
ing, and aid for the starving (and not
bleeding Kansas has been collecting.
10 what extent the conspiracy may ex
| tend, and how much aid has been collect
ed,we can only conjecture. But we shall
not be surprised if it be found that prepare
tons for assaults upon the Southern States
are much more extensive than now appear
At all events, 1t is proper that the people
of all the Southern States should be pre-
pared to defend their firesides, their lives
and property.
There can be no doubt that the election
of Lincoln has given an extraordinary I'M
petus to Northern fanaticisn, and that the
irrepressibe conflict will be waged upon
the rights of the South with more relent>
less fury.
Nor are we left to conjecture the fact
| that the Northern Abolitionists have, for
long time, been meditating an attack
upon the South. In a communication to
the ST. Joseph Gazette, which appears in
that paper on the Dist, and before the neaos
of Montg omery's outbreak could hare reach
! ed that section Of the State, we find the
following facts stated
| There can come such a time that money
| will be curse, and he who has the most
must forfeit his life, that his carcass may
| be robbed. There can come time when
! the greater the beauty and elegance of
home, tie quicker it will be marked for
| ustful rapine, and the sooner it will Ill yite
| the desecratng fire brand of ruthless SOL
diery. Haze you heard tie sullen roar Of
cannon for the last tVo eCeeks, muttering
ominous thunder from tie opposite bluffs ?
Hour after hour, quicker and quicker, as
practice sharpens the fingers of prepare
lions? Have you noted that throughout
the whole North, funds, goods, supplies.
PROFESSIONALISM short all the equipments and
munitions of war, are sent to the 37ecuitdy'
care Of a man who is clamoriug under the
guiSe Of CHARITY, for such things as would
furnish an army in our western border
with the means of our destruction. Ifpro
visions for the destitute, why purchase in
Boston INSTEAD Of Illinois, or the bountiful
west?
The infamous Tha!deus Hyatt, his fit
associate Marcus J. Parrot, and desig-
mated confederate, 5. G. Pomeroy, being the
managers of the concern, the latter to have
" hanSa5 Relief Goods" What kind of
relief? We knooO there IS no starvation
IN Kansas. Goyernor Neelary, Of thai
Trritory says there IS none to MiS know
ledge. Ne kaoaC there as plenty there tc
maintain the populdti0n and hare a Sur
Plus. Gentlemen, 1t Is plan to overthrow
US. We recollect Thaddeus HYATT. lie
Of the John Brown massacre. We know
the rest of the gang. They will now senC
the munitions of war, and next an army 0
black republican butchers, to be maintain
ed by the North, under the pretence o
charity to those who can't use it. They ar
sharpening the Implements Of death with
in our hearing. What means al this need
less charity? The exact designation of .
leading black republican as the sole reel
pient and a controller, distributor and in.
spector of the . Kansas Relief Goods? L
means havoc, and war. and bloodshed, anC
forcible coercion. 1t has been inaugural
ed at the North, confined to the North
controlled by the plant and outaweC
mini0ns of the North and is only a great
enterprise of the North, in time of reace
to put the North IN a state of perfect pre-
paration for war As to men, she has a
surplus, and can be thinned out of many
for the advantage of the rest. This is not
idle alarm.
Gentlemen, Thaddeus Hyatt would have
nothing to do with this unless there was
poison in it, What do we want? We
must prepare 20 prevent the sack and pill
lage of our homes, the plumber of our
banks, and the burning of our houses =
We must organize company Of men tc
put the town IN a state of defense we
must enforce our laws against free negroes
who have become a stink in our nostrls
tempting our slaves, melting insubordina
ton and infesting the very air they breathe
We must get sober, moderate, money
making pen to open their eyes. Money
is good thing; SO is fire in its proper
place. We have already submitted to
greater wrongs than the colonies were
subjected to by Great Britain, and yet we
are crying peace peace, when there is no
peace"-Union, Union, when there is no
Union!
We now see how completely facts have
justified the apprehensiors Of that writer,
aud though Montgomery and his gang OF
armed and trained AboIitionists have not
vet ventured to attack St. Joseph, vet we
cannot tell how long it will be before they
will be emboidened to do So 1t is proba-
Die that most of the money that has been
collected for the sufferers ~ in Kansas,
has been expended in lead and powder, in
Sharp's Rifles and Colts RevOlvers
The promptness with which our State
Executive, as well as the authorities at
Washington have acted, is a guarantee
that Montgomery and his outlaws will
