The Vallanl,Il.am politicians hay,
labored necessarily to excite violsnc,
against the peaccable negroes in the North
They succeeded to greater or less extent
in their efforts ut Toledo, Cincinnati
Brooklyn and other places. AT Harris.
burg, Pennsylvania. they went into the
plot in . rather more systematic style.
and were congratulating themselves that
they would have "big thing" Hand
bills were got up at the Office of the
Patriot, the Vallandigham organ, an
nouncing that General Jim Lane would
be in that city on certain evening, and
urging all the colored persons in The city
and vicinity to turn out and form regi-
ment to 90 into Lanes colored brigade.
The scheme worked beautifully; excitement
was rising to fever heat, the leaders were
around stimulating their followers to deeds
of violence and blood, and tremendous
riot against the negroes was about to in
augurale the political campaign in the
Key Stone State. In the meantime Jim
Lane was in Kansas utterly unconscious
Of the appointment made for him in Har-
risburg. But the Government at WASH
ington was advised of it, and Provost
Marshal Wadsworth took the train to
Harrisburg, arrested the plotters, and
sent them 70 Fort Lafayette.
There are some restless individuals in
our city who might do well to heed the
warning. for their movements have been
observed, and il any disturbance arises
here in consequence ct their manipula-
tions they win be the first persons arrest
ed and punished.
