Instead Of being now Palsied with tim

homes, as they not improbably would be,
had they not passed through the bitter
ordeal imposed upon them by the Mssou-
rians, whose rights they had never inva-
ded--they are now dsringly, bold and
doing loyal service for the Union. They
have not only stout hearts, but shill, e1-
perience aud endurance acquired from the
deprayity Of their enemies and sufficient
TO enable them to overawo the hot-bed Of
treason in Northwestern Missouri. They
are also enabled to serve as barrier A.
gainst the ruthless and restless Indians,
abutting them on the South who own
few slaves and, being half civilized, are
in proper condition to initiate white
barbarians, luboring to excite them 10 re-
bellion.
The bristling muskets Of free Kansas,
and its stalwart population, have restrain
ed these savage instincts in so much,
that even the agents Of the South travel
ing among them aud stimulating their
jealousy have failed to arouse them to
acts Of revenge. a brighter day, as
trust, dawns for Missouri, aud yet we
tremble at ataretrospect Of the painful an

her. A few desperate rebels held the
rod Of terror over the heads Of tho loyal
friends ofthe Union, but the banner Of
freedom is now unfurled to the breeze,
and it will float triumphantly throughout
Missouri in despite Of traitors and the
Obettors Of traitors.

ernor, and indeed such Governor, who,
with trucking majority Of the Legisla-
ture, while under oath to support the con-
stilution and laws of the national Union,
Porjures himself by werd and deed to re-
sist and destroy them. The design Of
the Governor and General Assembly,
was, unmistaRobly to aid and abet ssees-

insidious form oftreRson. The disreDu-
table reply Of the Governor to the Presi-

ofduty, legally and officially calling for
troops TO suppress rebellion, clearly and
unequivocally indicates this. His en-.
eouragement during tho past several
months, to expel Union citizens from the
State and thereby wantonly and cruelty
rob them Of their property, demonstrates
as clear as holy writ, the depruvity Of his
heart and the fiendishness Of bis disun-
