do not consider it worth answering. Kansas is
not essentially different in these respe,t s from
ILLINOIS and Iowa, which have been settled by
Free LabOreIs, while Arkansas and Texas have
been partially subdued aud cultivated by the la

Men and brethren there is immnen. danger
that Kansas will be lost to Freedom; but as yet
il is danger only. She is not lost, but is sorely
beset and those who can should fly to the rescue.
Thousands of hardy pioneers who do not cover

Spring; her genial cline and fertile soil invite
them; and the possibility of Sayery's triumph
should not Iepel; for, if worst come to worst,
they msy sell their claims and move into Ne
bIsska OF Iowa. But no-even if Slavery should
get iegslzed in Kansas, We trust that her Free
settlers will stay there, and that more will 60

waste places around them, teaching Il lesson
which the blndest Of the blind cannot misread.
Kansas will not be admitted as Slave S.ate-at
