Page 3 The Raid
Into The Little Rock Gazette,
in commenting on the outrage committed by the “We trust the governor
will at once investigate this outrage, and make a demand upon the executive
of Missouri for the miscreants who perpetrated it, that they may be brought
to justice.—Under the leadership of Montgomery and Babcock, the Missouri
militia has become as notorious for murder and rapine as the brigands of
Italy or the guerillas of Mexico, and against the raids of these outlaws the
citizens of our border counties should have protection. The invasion of the state by armed bands,
interference with the administration of justice, and the capture and murder
of citizens are acts of war against the commonwealth which merit prompt
punishment. Let the governor vindicate
the dignity of the state.” |
