KANSAS CITY, No, May ], 1901.
A practical result If Secessionirm If Observable upon
our streets every day. For several years past we have
had one Of the most iourislng towns m the West.
Our business has increased from year 10 year, TIL the
last i, reached twenty millions Of dollars. Our popua-
ton has increased rapidly, also; but AL this has had an
end Business il no longer here. Our most worthy
citizens are leaving 10 rapidly rs possible, and am
satisfied that within two months from this date or
reputation will be reduced from seyen thousand to
Two We have bad, from the irst, small but dosle-
rate and irresponsible band OF Secessiorits who have
been irving 20 create reign Of terror ana get
the power Of our city into their hands But hlthefto
they have failed. "a compared with the Cnionists.
the, are as q mere drop In he bucket they, as gem
eral tiiny are men without either property, education
or mOras: they low, vulgar, drinking set OF
oafers. We beat them, by large majority, for Con
ycntion; beat them at our late charter elecllon
we can ARRAYS beat them wheG we show our strength,
hnt we have become tired OF this warfare. We have
tiled TO keep the State from ruin, but under he lead
of the traitor JacksCn, there IN nothing but the meet
disgrace'ul ruin before her. We have come TO the
conclusion, if men want TO destroy themselves they
NAV do go. The majority Of the Union II en- have made
up their minds to leave the State and 90 where they
can have some assurance that law and republican lib
erty will be respected.
< little more than week ago the traitors flag was
raised in our city IL still floats unmole-ted. IL, how
ever has made our streets look ike the Sabbath; no
strangers among us no business and every boat
takes of numerous families. Not less than twenty LETT
TODAY; So il il every day.
Tie se,essonists dared to do nothing till they stole
the arms at Liberty guarded by enc man. Now they
are bold and insul,ing. 1Ecy have shown they have
as good a capacity for stealing their brother traitors
in the South. DIR. Moughs, our late Mayor leads tie
trators He headed the band which took the Govern
ment property at Liberty. he IL man OF little abill-
ty principle, but wold OF inpudcnce; trucking
tool of Jackfon'a For the Convention he wac Sc
cessioni-t; for the Mayoray man exceeded him IN
his love of the stars and stripes the next day after his
defeat he raises Secession flag. To-day he has been
most probably elected to the Legislature, to fill a
cancy very few Union men voting, having made up
their minds 10 leave the State.
There is reliance whatever 10 lie placed upon this
State. The sbe declares herse Tor the South,
the better for all II will be the signal for attack upon
all hands and, in the battle her peculiar institute
ton will vanish in less than eighteen months. Slaves
are esca ing every day. Since the Government is in
the hands OF Secessouista the Union men are power
less Outside Of St. Louis and their only hope Ii III
Secession. We pray for il, but fear the policy has
been changed the last few dlys and she will not co.
II was the design OF the Reyolutionlsts, week ago.
TO ignore the Convention, pass IN act OF Immediate
Secession and attack St Louis and get possession Of
the arms The reason why we pray for her TO go ont
at ouce IT, because we know she would be powerless
do HARM she has no capacity 10 arm herself aud
the Government could then treat her az she deserves
Should she 20 ont, her money would not be worth
twenty cents on dollar and even ii the Banks should
loan tie traitor Jackson money he could not buy arms
with it, if lie could find them TO buy. III the State
cedes the July interest will not be paid the banks
will not have the capacity to pay H.. Our indebted
ness now with the appropriations of the last Legsla
ture amounts TO twenty eight millions OF dollars
and not one dollar ~ pay the interest on this amount
is now in the Treasury IL is most sincere desire
that she may, tomorrow, secede-then we are set
free-then this State will be made Free soil-then,
soon the traitors tread will die dpay toreeer Neu
trality ID humbug-we, who love the Union, ask
such thing We ask for the most speedy destruction
OF this monster, and that is in Secession. What ia
true Of this county TO people leaving is true OF
every one in the State. Hundreds going 10 Colo
RADIO.
The appointment of Col Gilpn as Governor has
given the most universal satisfaction among the Union
men, lie is man OF great ability, and All enthusi.
asic lover of his country. Under his lead that Terri
tory must be developed into grand State in a very
short time. Business on the Missouri River is very
Light this Spring. and nearly every boat is stopped at
Wayerey, aud examined for arms. II not there, DIR.
Mough and his band Of cut-hroas try their hands at
searching, when the boat reaches this landing.
BY the Union men it IL thought very unsafe to send
Government freghs through this State and especially
into this city, which is cursed by baud who are seek
Jag to plumber and steal.
Well this week will develop something of the policy
of this State Much feeling is manifested at the taking
of the arms from ST. Louis. The Secessonists had con-
identy counted upon them ~"
