Lincoln's Election Bringing Forth its
Fruits---the Montgomery Raid.

The fruits ofthe triumph ofthe Black Repub-
lican party have already begun to appear. The
Montgomery raid of which we publish some
of the details in recent issue is a more
formidable demonstration than that of John
slavery administration when the power of the

Federal government is arrayed against Black
Republicanism, what may We expect wSfen

Abiding to the atrocities perpetrated by
Montgomery, the robbsr chieitsin, the ST.
Louis Bulletin says: Many are the cold
blooded murders which he and ais myrmidOns
nave committed and many are the peaceful
citizens whom he has dispossessed of their
homes, and forced to fly before the dread OF
savage violence. Maintained in funds and
military supplies by the abolitionists OF New
England, and roaming through sparsely
populated region, where the traveller thinks
himself lucky if his stages through uninhabi
tied intervals do not exceed the space Of fifty
miles, he has thus far been able either entirely
to elude pursuit, or maintain his own against
the slight opposition he has encountered For
number of months past, nothing had been
heard of him md his outlaws, consisting part
ly of eastern adventurers, and partly of free
negros, until yesterday morning we were
startled by telegraphic dispatch advising US
that he had been spending the SKINNER in
Massachusetts,, with view to obtain arms,
supplies and recruits for new expedition /;
lhet he travelled through the country ostensi-
bly, to procure relicffor the needy in Kansas
that large quantity of Shapes rifles, navy
revolvers, Dragon sabres and bowie knives,
were actually shipped to him from Boston
and that these arms actually arrived in Mound
City, month since, in boxes marked "sup.
plies for the Kansas sufferers"
| Montgomery has now under his command
four or five hundred men, whom he boasts car
be readily increased to thousand. He ha:
broken up the q. s. District Court at For
Scott, seized the records, and forced lany
numbers of the people of southern Kansas t.
cross the borders into Missouri to save dlei
lives. He now threatens to cross the frontier
lay waste the exposed and unprotected region
OF the Southwest adjoining tie Kansas line
and turn loose the slaves upon their masters
or else run them off.
4 large meeting was held at Warsaw
Missouri, on the 22ud, to prepare to repell tn
invasion. A military company was organizes
and other necessary steps were taken. Dur

was called upon to address it. His narrativ

These marauderS and murdcrers are sus

procure meaDs from the States under the
pretence of aidssIg the sufferers OF Kansas, bu
appropriate them to carry out their designs o
rebellion against law. They are the sans
men who procured the passage Of the amnesty

that they would maintain the laws and pre-

Soon after Hyatt left Kansas, Montgomerl
made visit east, returned with means, AM
