Nand threatening character at the present time
'Eto the fanatcal abolitionsts at the North, but
9admitting also. that slavery men had in turn

Esubugated and conquered by armed men from
HMissouri; but her citizens were determined
Encver to give up the fight for their freedom,
Esand the independence OF their soil from foreign
EcontrOl or interference. The State of Missouri
Hwould be called upon to disavOw all sympathy
Ewith these border ruffians. If she refused, the
HSOuth would be called upon to discountenance

Nto yield their rights and relied upon the North
