before yesterday, from Page soanty. A
runaor had reached ClaTinds, the County
Seat Of that county, that large body
Missourians vera about 10 make q descent
upon thai place. We hops aud trust,
howsysr. the rumor proceeded from the
guilty fears Of acme Of tbs citizens OF
EAas plaos. u appears that soma days
ssnee, band Of lswlsss citissns OF Page
county, in the nama Of the Union, but /
without any legal authority, went into
Missouri and disarnsd men whom they
supposed TO be ssosssionists, and conpsii-
ed than 10 take the oath Of allegiance 70 |
the United States. Knowing that they
1 had yiolaasd the law and compromised the |
/ peace of the country In - doing, II Was
but natural for them 10 expect the cisi-
Gems of Missouri, whose rights bad been
outraged ITO resaliate, and hencs toe En-
NOR that the towns of Amtty and Charm
: as were abb out to be attacked. We have
9 said that We trust the INVASION would turn
: cat 10 be merely a ramorsd INVASION
g We're il not that the innoceDt might be
: made 10 sudar with the guiity-if We were
s sure thai the MissouriAns would deal ont
e Vengeance only to those Wis had invaded
. their soil, we would indulge in the hops
that that vengeance might be naeted Out
>, to then before the aid which has been san'
's 10 them from this city, shoaid reach them
+ What night have citizens of Iowa to gath
q, or together in mobs, without even sh'
ID shadow of Law, and invade the State o
be Missouri, aud eommit depredations upo'
iy the rights of her citizens? We ask wha
OF right has few Abolitionists in Pag
D. county, to compromise the peace Of tn
o State Of Iowa, BY lawless depreciation
d upon neighboring State !? 1t would seez
that the Abolitionists are determined tia
Re- there shall be no peace any where IN 10
II" country-thaI they are determined TO PR
On cipitste Iowa into civil war. There lie
to great difference between the invasion OF
e. State under legal form, and It's invasio
As by a Eaoh. People who cannot pEote'
ed themselves, should not provoke an 9
h8 sault.
in We hope when the troops which ha'
In been sent from here TO Page county q
xe, rive there and find that there is DO dang
cut Of auv invasion from Missouri, that In
De- viii. tender their service 10 the civil d
has thority to aid in the arrest and impriso
ro- ment of every person engaged IN the La
on unlawful invasion of the State of Aii
to souri,. We hope on the other hand th
lot- the citizens Of Missouri, although th'
,ort rights have been tresPassed upon, "
ing refrain from retaliation which will ms
the surely bring on border var between
was two States. Ii is better to suffer gr'
was wrong and trust to the good sense OF
ow- people to redress it, when they shall ia
ioy- a sober second thought, than 10 II
nich bIindiy, while all are excited and oet'
ow- the conservative men Of the State can
ties, beard, TO arms and involve both Sta
and in a war against each other. We
7 Il -.tisfia.f that the citizens Of Iowa have
Lie cause OF war az ~aaa~r ssiasos,ri and We
ming also satisfied that the invasion Of neF T
g to ritory by band of iawless fanatics Fl
asti- Page county will be condemned By ev
tue, man who has the welfare of Iowa and
) ex- happiness Of her citizens at heart.
