/ non oN lhe claleS. an acl ol incorporation Z
was passed; a company with capital OF .
/ five millions was chartered; and this com ,
pany was authorised TO enlist an army Of
mercenary fanatics and transport them to
Kansas. Recruiting officers were stationed {
in places most likely TO furnish the proper
material; premiums were offered for re-
crui's; the public mind was stimulated by
glowing and false descriptions of the coun-
try proposed to be occupied, and IIessian
band Of mcrcenaries was thus prepared and
forwarded, TO commence and carry on a war
of determination against slavery.
To call .hcse people cmigrants is sheer
perversion Of language. They are not sent
TO cultivate the soil, TO better their social
condition. TO add 10 their individual com oris,
or the aggregate wealth Of the nation. They
do not move from choice or taste, or from
any motive affecting. or supposed to effect
themselves or their families. They have
none of the marks Of the old pioneers who
; cut down the forests Of Kentucky. Ohio
? and Indiana, or eveed tie cane brakes Of
Tennessee and Mississippi. or broke up
the plains of Illinois and Missouri. They
. are mostly ignorant Of agricul'ure picked
mp in the cities or villages. tley Of course
have no experience as farmers, and if left
, TO their unaided reSources-if not clothed
and fed by the same power which has ef-
feced their trunsporaion-thcy woull
sarvc or freeze. They are hreliugs--an

E indirectly by sovereign State of Ills Un-
r ion. TO make war upon al institution now
f existing in the territory to which they are

5 spirit du corps which of necessity peryades
: such an organization, they have in common
n reckless and desperate fanaticism, which
:. teaches them that slavery is sin, and that
II they are doing Gods service in fastening
i its destruction. They have been picked
! and culcd ircm the ignorant masses, which
/ On England and New England negro phi.

10 madness on this topic. and have beer. seIco-

Y, That such population would be fatal 70
IL the peace and security Of the neigLboring

The colonization Of Kansas with ropu,
