Pro-&auery Men to the Rescue Grand
Rally on Tuesday nert.
Though the recent act of Gov. Reeder
in calling second election in this as well
as in other Districts of the Territory is en-
phatically repudiated and looked upon by
our party as an arbitrary and intolerable
assumption of power, yet after calm and
mature consultation, thoughtful and delib-
crate consultation. the pro-slavery party of
this district have unanimously agreed for
many good reasons that must suggest
themselves to every reasonable mind, on
due reflection to rally to the polls on Tues
day next. The pro-slavery party will not
go TO the polls on the ensuing election with
any object of accomplishing what has al
ready been done-of electlng Represen-
atives for the first Legislative Assembly
Of the Territory of Kansas-but with the
view of defeating the vile and Infamous
abolition party known as the Kansas Free
While State Party. tits Important to the
interests of our party and country that the
abolitionists should be defeated on this ap-
preaching contest. We should never give
the negro thieving party cause to claim
victory over US through the ballot-box.-
We should never permit the vile and infer
nal schemes and Vaccinations of Reeder
and his anti-slavery brethren to trample
over us. Rather than submit to the gross
acts of Gov. Reeder because they are in
violation of all justice, we should turn out
with resolution to defeat and thwart his
evil and pernicious designs, we should
never give the abolitionists the qualification
of heralding the result of the next cleo
ton as triumph of fanaticism, we should
rather die than allow the ruthless hands of
the abolitionists to tear down from its lofty
pillar the bright and resplendant escutch-
con of the South, and trample it under
their feet stained with the dark spots of
wild and maddening fanaticism.
BY voting at the approaching election
the pro-slavery party gain many points
which they would inevitably lose by remain
ing from the polls. They will defeat the
abolitionists by an overwhelming majority
which will have tendency to falsify the
great outcry that now reverberates through
all the non-slaveholding states against the
alleged importation of voters on our last
election. They will show conclusively that
the pro-slavery party are in the ascenden-
dency in the Territory Notwithstanding the
many reports to the contrary, promulgated
by the entire abolition forces Of the North
west They will secure Leavenworth g
voice in the organization of the Territorial
Legislature, which is matter of no little
importance. They will obviate much con-
fusion which would otherwise necessarily
attend the contesting of the seats of oul
members elect. They will show to the
South that her true and chivalrous sons have
always rushed to the defence Of her insti
tutions when assailed by the treasonable
fanatics of the north.
We earnestly exhort the pro-slavery
men to rally at the polls on Tuesday next
and in the mean time to prepare themselves
for the contest. Let them make ready by
summoning their forces. Let them pre-.
pare to unanimously defeat the combined
forces of the abolitionists and freesoilers
Let them determine upon victory. Let
them resolve to vanquish the enemy. Let
every pro-slavery man be true TO the inter
ests of his party. Let no pro-slavery mar
absent himself from the polls. Let one
and all be there. Let there be eoncen-
tration of effort. Let there be unanimi.
ty of feeling. Let each and every one ol
our party work manfully and untiringly OF
this election. Let them bring to our sup
port every pro-slayery man theycan find
Letthe result of the coming election be as
Ue wish and not as the abolitionists hope
for. Let it be such as to cause the heart oil
every pro-slavery man to thrill with extatic
JOY and exultation. Let its result be her
aided through the American union as a
third great and glorious triumph of the
pro.slayery party.
