New Hampshire Statesman And Concord Register

Frankfort, Ken., Dec. 17. Civil War. It will be perceived by the report of a committee of the House of Representatives, in a preceding column, that the first act of a civil war has already been perpetrated, in the loading and preparing a quantity of the public arms, for the purpose of resisting some anticipated proceedings of the House of Representatives, or its committees, and the execution of an order of the court of appeals. We confidently trust, however, that this the first act, will be the last ; the preparation has been discovered, the guns discharged and replaced in their former peaceful corners; and it is not doubted but the disputes with which this state is doomed to be vexed another year, will, in the course of that time, be settled by the "moral force" of the country. If there are any who on reflection, still feel disposed to " stand to their arms," we would recommend to them to peruse that part of the history of Massachusetts, which relates to the deeds and discomfiture of those famous Relief Men Daniel Shays and his associates.
