The Emporia News

The Border Star, by McCarty, which was formerly printed at Westport, Mo., has again made its appearance on our table, hailing from Independence, Mo. There is nothing in the editorials of the number before us to particularly indicate whether it is Union or Secesh, but there is no doubt, in our mind, that Mac sympathises with the Rebels. He was the first to favor the raising of the Rebel rag at Westport and Kansas City, when the war broke out. When Price took Lexington, McCarty jumped upon his horse at Independence, and rode around the public square, crying at the top of his voice: "To arms! to arms! Let not a Union man leave the city! Price will be here to-morrow morning!" As the saying is, "Circumstances alter cases," though, and this sweet-scented Rebel of a few months ago may now be a good enough Union man to suit the people of Independence. He'd hardly do out this way.
