they would cut very sorry figure doing it,

BoDton had declared that they woro coming
to Washington armed. l don't mean TO stay
away on that account. | hope my young
friend Hon. Henry Waldron viii not j We

tinuod cheors) think we shall show them
that there is some of tho old Puritan pluck

Now, I'll tell you how to savo tho Union, il
General Cass or anybody else goes up and
down the country boo. hooing about the Union
tell them that class of men the people of tho
North have got done voting for. Put dowp
every Zoo hoo at The North, and every enemy
at tho South. Utterly nnphilate them, and
liberty and union are safe together. Clergy
men tell that the home of virtuo is tho family.
! think it a good plan to sond homo your
Douglasses and Pierccs and Casses to drink of
the purity Of private lie, thet virtue that IS
necessary TO make q genuine statesmnnin this
glorious Republic. Il l have attended to tho
false promise Of franklin Pieroo; we know
that our foreign emgrants do not SETTLE IN
slave states, they go upon free soil. The fas-
mers and mechanics and Aaborcrs go out upon
anr broad Western soil; tkere they stand upon
their own aeres, acknowledged to own no man
ms MASTER and desiring no men as slaves; but
this privilege has been denied them in Kansas,
a few won't there but they have been overborno
by rnffin horles from Missouri. 1t is to-day
a penal oifense tn maintain or advonoc the
principles which have called you together hero
to day. Gov. Roeder has been removed upon
a lying and frivolous pretext. it was only when
that Governor resisted soine Of the Msqpl
measures OF this Legislature that this charge
was trumped up and be removed. l know
that the charge in not the real one, and what
does tho new Governor say: he recognises the
legality of this infamous Legtslatnro.--tdlls
them Thar Missouri Is n slave state. it VIII bp
for the peace Of tho whole power OF the Fede
raj Government has conspired 10 this end, e.
majority of tho people Of Kansas are for free
dom. but il is unlawful to advocate even the
doctrine. l tell you, If over there was n man
who deserved the unanimous condemnation of
Of united nation il Is Franklin Pierce. If we
arc true, we shall elect true man to fill his
place, hurting him from his position. and pla-
upon his forehead.
Even should wo fail in sc shall not be dis:
heartenod. The progress of the cause OF
liberty has been g!orions---the best. ablest Of
statesmen are on our side. Years ago the OPP
ponents Of the ca6s< looked down upon tho
party of liberty, now it locks down upon the
fragments of Il at opposition floating dispersed
and helpless. If ihere was ever q proud day

il is this day thai has dawncd npon rs- Mob
bed. persecuioe. hcoied a year ago. they are
to-day masters Of 10 States in tho Union, and
they cun defy all their emies. Now my friends
be cautious, sagacious and oarnest; make is
snes simply practical, and do it pcrmanept;'
don't be ufroid Of being swallowed up. Our
principle will stand as long as the throne Of
God shall stand, for truth is eternal. We
mean to restore prohibition Of slavery in Kan
sss. We mean te give freemen their usurped
rights. We mean to place the government
actively and fully on tho side of liberty We
mean to dothrone despotism--to enthrone
liberty.
We mean to establish Union one ami inscpa-
rable, now aad forever. We mean that every

"Undo the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go

to tho Know Nothing convention at Philadel-
