that great drought peryoded the Whole
Tcritory during the months Of judy, Au,
gust and september, which caused n total
failure OF the cropsi and the result now
is that starvtion Is carrying of its scores
Of individuals, and the UNIVERSAL cry
from that long distracted and now fam
iShing country 10 for Bread Bread w
Wo are pleased to see that an abun,
dnnee of provision is furnished 10 them
from the surrounding States; but how
meagre and slow, and how different the
process Of furnishing money and provi-
sions to this people now, to what it was
in 1856. Then public meetings were held
everywhere in the North. "Eniigrant
Aid Societies" were formed in several
Northern Statos. Henry Ward Beecher,
and number Of semi.Infidel preachers,
took up collections in their respective
ehurches on the Sabbath day, preached
sermon after sermon, and exhibited zeal
worthy Of any cause; and thereby suce
ceeded in collecting tens Of thousands Of
dollars, and what fogY 20 buy bread and
provisions No; 10 buy Shdrp'S EiRes,
to kill and destroy their fellow creatures.
The people, no doubt, wen remember the
Kansas scenes of 1866 Bleeding Kan
sas % Gerrett Smith volunteered to give
$4,000 month TO assist the Massachu-
setts Emigrant AID Society in driving out
and killing Border Rufians," and the
Northern pulpits rang day ard night for
BLEEDING Kansas - Yale College was
well nigh rcvolutioniled; agents trav cling
under the especial endorsement Of North
rerp, clergyaen, were everywhere met So
Letting money for Kansas and for what
purpose? Te blush 10 say it : to commit
murder and Arson. .... -..
Where is Beecher, Chaplin, Smith, Gree.
ley the Browns and their sllies? Where
is the Massachusetts, Aid Society, Ynle
College, and the freedom shriekers gen.
orally. Now when the people of Kansas
stand in need of aid and succor, these
disgraceful hypocriles remain as silent as
the grave.
For our part re cannot see how such
blasphemers and hypocrites can ever
e.care "the damnation CT hell" 1t is
truly humilating to know that thls class
Of men above named, created nil the
troubles Kansas had to suffer during the
formation Of h er Territorial government,
and instead Of being satisfied with the
blood they caused to be shed upon the
plains of Kansas, they have ever since
been plotting treason against the whole
country. 1t seems that they yi!l,no. stop
until they accomplish the object of their
less than bloody revolution.
We ask our readers TO compare the
conduct Of these meu for the last ten
years, with that Of the Red Republican lea
ders in Europe, whose constant cry is
that Of all demagogues, Freedom and
Equality" and are without exception the
most daring profigates and insdious
hypocrites that ever disgraced this earth.
Since writing the above we learn that
the notorious Montgomery, who commit
ted numerous outrages in 1861, is again
at work, numbering and robbing the citi-
liens of the Territory. ....
He is at the head of 500 armed men.
spreading dismay throughout the &C ouutry.
The following letter from Judge Williams
to the Governor of Missouri CONVEYS an
idea in reference 10 the present state of
things there .........
