brigadier-generaL We ask the earnest atcn-
ton Of every Kentuckian who sees this paper 70
it, Lane very plainly avows his policy, which
is to steal and turn loose all the slaves he can.
And although it now endeayors to conceal il,

that such is also the policy Of the Lincoln gov

Last evening Stockton's hall was crowded to
its almost capacity by an audience anxious to
hear the great military chieftain. Every nook
and corner was filled long before the hour for
which the meeting was called together.
At 8 o'clock the meeting was organized by the
election Of the following officers
Presdent-Gen. Mark W. Delahav; Sec
retaries-D. W. Wilder, J. X. Bartlett, H--IE
Moore.
Gen. Jane, ON coming forward, was received
with raPturous applause He began by saying
I have come here tonight not to makea speech
10 you, but to have a plain talk about Kansas
matters, and matters relating TO tine best inter
ests of the country. This is a period in our
history when every man Is called upon to act
andact cautiously. Ii is not expected that every
man viii join the army, but those who remain
AZ home are not to forget that they may be called
upon to act for those in the field. ] ask every
Kansas man who is here 70 give his protection
to the Kansas soldier. / am uttering no words
for myself is for the soldier who fights your
battles.
Two months ago the Kansas brigade was or
gained. was put at the head Of it with the
respect, the confidence, ave. the love of every
man in that command. Every day since it en-
tered the field it has been actively engaged for
the protection of Kansas and the government.

Why Is it that these creatures at the fort sneeT al
III They abuse the Kansas brigade because il
has not surrendered to the enemy. They sneer
at the Kansas brigade because we have never
engaged the enemy without whipping them like
the devil.
Go to Nevada, where IS of the Kansas brigade
met and defeated 200 rebels; 90 to Balls Mil,
where 100 Kansans whipped $50 traitors; 90 to
Dry Wood, where 400 men under Montgomery
Tor two hours fought 1000 Of the enemy, and
drove them back from your soil; 90 TO Morris
town, the deathbed Of cur gallant johnson,
where 400 of the Kansas brigade drove GOO
traitors from their mtTenchments 90 to Osceola.
one of the strongest natural points In Southern
Missouri, where, after eighty miles mach through
the enemy's country, We met a greatly superior
force beat it, and took and destroyed more than
"a million dollars worth Of property. Go 10 these
fields, and tell me why the Kansas brigade is
neeredat
Our sin is that we have never been whipped.
That brigade IS c]Onsp5red against. This last
Sabbath was desecTated by a conspiracy at the
fort, between Robinson and Prince, to destroy
the Kansas brigade. Charles Robinson and
Captain Prince oOHspIeu TO destroy It. They
were guilty Of treason baser than that Of Price.
lGreat cheering. l have come here 10 talk

Now n-oh! the dirty pUppy-if that creature
Prince, and that still dIrtier creature, Robinson,
can find an instance Of a violation of this rule
inmy command, the guilty man shall be hung.
But they say we steal slaves-great God
Lieut.-CoL Blunt, of MOntComery's regiment,
has Just arrived from the interior of Missouri,
and they tell me be comes back with more slaves
than whitemen. ["Goed, - Good, - and cheers
Secessionists get no Slaves from the Kansas
brigade. When Union man comes TO my camp
10 recover slaves, l tell him to look upon the
camp as naked ground. Resort to the same
measures that you would if / were not here
If be fails to recover his slaves we give him a
certificate as a voucher to the government
that such a man lost aslave by the march Of the
Kansas brigade.
Slavery disappears before my brigade. Zap

plause. But it disappears on the principle l
have laid down. venture to say that if were

Wilson, or BOwles, you shan't take those

In my opinion this war viii never be- success
fully carried out so long as an army marches
through slave States as a boat goes through a
flock Of ducks. They 1yup on its approach and
nestle as soon as 1t has passed. The boat Is
safe and so are tine ducks. When you march
through a State You must destroy the property
of the men in arms against the government

waste the property of traitors. Why is SO much
sympathy shown TO traitors and none for Union
men, Hundreds and hundreds of Union men
have followed the Kansas brigade 70 escape the
clutches of traitors. Did you ever hear this
puppy Prince say a word about Major Dean
who was robbed and driven from his home by
traitors ?
Not a word Of sympathy for such men. But
let a STAKEHOLDER lose a niger and the very air
resounds with cries for the return of the fugitive.
d" Shame " shame Now III tell you what
I want Of You. Wen do your fighting. Wen
try and not surrender. We ask the people of
Kansas TO stand between us and the cowardly
traitors who stand in our rear.
Why, here's a paper-great God, thatit should
come from kaBsas-the State Journal: what a
pity it is that It should be published in Law
renee, 1t says that my %adjutant, Marcus J.
Parrot, is getting up a pettIsu to dissolve the
Kansas brigade-to dissolve the only force that
can protect Kansas. l venture to say that, if
Mark Is industrious, he can get every secession
ist IN Missouri to sign it. ] cannot believe it,
but if be has, l pity him. Laughter But l
do not believe it. Besides, the evidence is
against IL, for l never knew this Lawrence Jour-
nal ~ publish one truth.
But the Kansas brigade is to be dissolved be-
cause it built forts and organized forces at Hum
boldt. LEROY, Ne0shO Falls, YerdigTis, Walnut
Creek, Fall River, Turkey Creek-seven forts
on yOuF frontier, where the people, instead Of
being stamugdcd and driven from the state, can
rally for yOu ocioHsC.
Is It because Matthews invaded Humboldt
-Four days before that raid, l ordered a fort 10 be
built there but for some reason it was not done.
But who followed Matthews and killed hin !
Ny order book viii show that 1 ordered Lieut.
Cd. Blunt to Vulsue Matthew'S TO Arkansas, and
be did pursue linn til be slew him. Matthews
marched down into the Cherokee country Ii
followed Matthews 20 bis den aud killed him
What is the reason Price aud Rains did not
march into Kansas Did Prince keep of the

Did Sam. Smith do it, But they saw Price and
Rains had DO intention of invading Kansas-tbat
they had made au arrangement not 10 invade
Kansas. With whom did our authorities make
the arrangement Not with Gamble. for he * a
Union man 1t must have been with Claib.
Jackson. All | can say is that he who can hold
intercourse with Jackson is himself a traitor

Price marched 1900 men from Springfield to
within eight miles Of Fort Scott. He intended
20 take it. The pence Bon all left, and a town

There were more valuable stores at Forts Scott

Lexington. But we got no credit for driving
