 have never engaged the enemy without whip.
 ping them like the devil.
 Go to Nevada, where 56 of the Kansas brig
 ade met and defeated POO rebels; go to Balls Mill, where 13O Kausans whipped $50 traitors; go to Dry Wood, where 400 men under Mont gomery for two hours fought 1000 of the en. emy, and drove them back from your soil, go to Morrstown, the deathbed of our gallan. Johnson. where 400 of the Kansas brigade drove 600 traitors from their intrcnchments; go to Osceola, one of the strongest natural points in southern MiSsourswhere, after eighty miles march through the enemy's country, we met a greatly superior force, beat it, and tock and 1 destroyed more than a million dollars worth of property. Go to these fields, and tell me why 1 the Kansas brigade is sneered at.
 | Our sin is that we have never been whipped 1 That brigade is conspired against. This last 1 Sabbath was descrated by conspiracy at the i fort, between Robinson and Prince, to destroy the Eansas brigade. Charles Robinson and Captain Prince conspred to destroy 1t. They were guilty of treason baser than that of Price | Great cheering 1 have come here to talk plainly to you. [Cries of That's right, let us have it"1 What is the charge they make " 1 CTS.
 stated in Washington that the institution of slavery could not survive the march of the fed era! army-that there would be an army of one color marching into the slave States and an army of another color marching out l said further, that confiscation must follow treason as thunder follows the lightnngs flash.
 Condscated property goes to the government and this rule has been adopted by my brigade If We are jayhawkerS We are javhawking for the government.
 Now f-oh. the dirty puppy-ifthat creature Prince and that still drticr creature, Robinson, eau find an instance of violation of this rule in my command, the guilty man shall be hung.
 But they say we steal siaves-great God. Lieut.. Col. Blunt, of Montsomery's regiment, has just arrived from the interior of Missouri, and they tell me he comes back with more slaves than white men! [" Good" Good" and cheers. SecessonstS get no slaves from the Kansas brigade. When union man comes 10 my camp to recover slaves, l tcl him to look upon the camp as naked ground Resort to the samo measures that you would if l were not here" l. ne fails to recover his slaves we give him a certificate as voucher to the gOv- ernmcnt-that such man lost slave by the march of tho Kansas brigade.
 Slavery disappears before my brigade. Ap- plAuse. guess that's true. [Renewcd ap- plause. But t disappears on the principle have lad down. l venture to say that if were to tell Montgomery, or Blunt, or Stewart, or Wilson, or BowIes, "you shan't take those slaves" the reply would be-" slaves are men, and you shan't make me nigger catcher for trai- tors" Great cheering
 Is there man here who would act as slave catcher for Price? l wonder if that dirty dog Prince would do i'd? This is the sin, this is the charge against us H'e march t0 c,ush out treq- so1 a,ld let Slavery take care ot itset II they don't want slavery to perish lct them lay down their arms--or do the other thing-kecp Lanes brigade out of Missouri. [Rapturous applause IL my opinion this war will never be success fully csrried out 50 long as an army arches through slave States as a boat goes through flock of ducks. They fly up on its approach ard peste as soon as t las passed. The boa! is safe and 50 are the ducks. When you march through State you must destroy the property of the men in arms against the government- destroy, deyastatc, deSolate. This is war.
 Take the union man by the hand, Lut lay 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 to escape the clutches. of traitors, Did you ever hear this puppy Prince say word about Major Dean Who was robbed and driven from his home by traitors.
 Not a word of sympathy for such men. But let slave holder lose a nigger and the very air resOunds with cries for the return of the fugitive. T"Shame, shame" Now l will tell you what i want of you. We'll 1, your fighting. We'll
 IL Kansas to stand between us and the cowardiy traitors who stand in our rear.
 Why, here a apaper-great God. thatit should come from kansas-the State Journa what q pity is that it should bepubIished in Lawrence, It says that my adjutant. Marcus J. Parrot, is getting upa petition to dissolve the Kansas brig ade-to dissolve the only force that can protect Kansas l venture to say that, If Mark IS in dustrious, he can get every secessioniSt in Mis- sour to sign 1t. l cannot believe it, but if he has pity him. Laughter. But do not be- ieve it. Besides the evidence Is against 1t, for 1 never knew this Lawrence Journal to publish one truth.
 But the Kansas brigade is to be dissolved be- cause it built forts and organized forces at Hum bolt, Leory, Neosho Falls, Nerdigris, Walnut Creek, Fall River, Turkey Creek-seven forts on your frontier, where the people, instead of be- ing stampeded and driven tro:.. the State, can rally for your defense.
 Is it because Mathews invaded IIumbolt?-- Four days before that raid, ordered fort to be bui,t thcre but for some reason 1t was not done. But who followed Mathews and killed him? My order book will show that ordered Lieut.. Col. Blunt to pursue Mathews to Arkansas, and he did pursue him till he slew him. Mathews marched down in to the Cherokee country; he followed Mathews to his den and killed him. What is the reason Price and Rains did not march into Kansas? Did Prince keep off the l2,000? Did Robinson do ii? Did Blood, who went in pursuit of a herd of cattle and ran to Pike's Peak--dd Blood drive away the l2, ,000? Did Sam. Smith do 1t? But they say Price and Rains had nointenton of invading kansas-that they had made an arrangement not to invade Kansas. With whom did our authorities make tue arrangement? Not with Gamble, for he is a union man; it must have been with Claib Jack son. All l can say is that he who can hold intercourse with Jackson is himself traitor and deserves rope. Hang bim!" Hang hin!'
 Price marched l2,0o0 men from Springfield to within eight miles of Fort Scott, He inten- ded to take it. The "peacs' men all left, and a town Is always in danger when the traitors run away. There was more valuable stores at were at Lexington. But we got no credit for Forts Scott and Lincoln at that time than there driving back the traitors because we lost sixty mules II 1 am charged with those mules they ought at least to give me credit for what have
