THE CANADA CONSPIRACY.

The testimony which was first taken in the
assassination case has now been published
1t is astounding. 1t establishes the COM
plicity of Davis and his Canada agentsin the
murder Of Mr.. Lincoln, and entirely iustifes
the proclamation offering reward for the
apprehension ofthe chief conspirators. The
Mot of these wretehes was much more ex-
tensive, however, than the murder of the
heads of the Government. 1t included burn
inc the city of New York, cutting the Gro
ton dam, and poisoning the Croton water
These men who, in their ferocious effort to
overthrow the Government, We're Staying
thousands ofloyal men in battle, were mean
ing also to massacre the wives and children
of these men at home. They claimed to be
gentlemen, to be 'chivalrous, to be
honorable Gentlemen assassinsi Ghival-
ric poisoners Honorable incendiariesl 1t
was not enough to starve and freeze their
hapless Union captiyes until they died, or
went mad, or sunk into idiOcy. They must
heap infamy upon infamy. They must
teach crimes deeper devilishness, and bar
barity, a more fendish ferocity.
All these things were done in the interest
of slavery To maintain slavery they rose
in arms against the Government To save
slavery they starved our brave boysia prison.
To revenge slavery they murdered Mr.. Lin
coin, and intended to poison the people of
New York 1t was slavery that made them
first rebels and then assassins. For slavery
imbrutes the master more than the slave,
and its most repulsiye product is the cruelty
thinly yeneered with courtesy, and called
the "high-toned Southern gentility. +"
We hope the readers of these startling
disclosures, will notforget thatJacob Thomp-
son, Jefferson Davis, George n. Sanders,
Beverly Tucker, Clement G. Clay, and the
rest, who staid securely in Canada, and hir-
ed other and Drawer men to execute their
yillanies, have always professed to be demo

We learn from the Lcavenworth Times,
that on the 9Th inst the Kiowa Indians at
tackled a train Of sixty or seventy wagons
while campcd on Crooked creek, between
Chavcs creek and little Arkansas The
train was bound West under a small escort
of United States Infantry Dumas, of
Moro hcrder for Mr.. Coburn, of Fort
Union, was killed. Francisco Chaves lost
ninety eight mules; Mr. Lunas, Of Los IAl-
| mas, lost three mules, and Adkins Il Reed,
of Kansas City, lost seventy five work cat
tie.
The escort consisted of ten men only, a
| very inadequate force to contend with the
Indians at this time The fight at Red
river, between Colonel Kit Carson and the
Camanclles, last fall or winter, developed
the fact that the red men Of the plains are
improving considerably in reckless and
daring exploits So at the battle of Sand
creek, where Colonel Chivington, com
manded, the testimony Of our officers go to
show as much personal bravery on the part
of the Indians as can be said to the credit
Of any other kind of bclligerents. A few
well-armed men, short time ago, were
able to keep at bay thousand painted
warriors; but the cxigencies ofther situa-
ton. the familiarity they have acquired
with rifles and rcvolvers, and the spirit
with which white leaders have doubtless
! imbued these savages, require strong forces
to insure the safely of life and property.
This party, despoiled by the Kiowas
were portion of large train which left
| Fort Union, New Mexico, on the 18th of
March last for Leavenworth and Kansas
CITY. In that train Francisco Chaves had

purpose of purchasing mules and wagons
some twelve teams, perhaps-and it ap-
pears from this account that he has met
with the severe loss of near one hundred
head Of lmules-tlle entire number required
