call their attention 10 the fact that under the
Kansas Nebraska act, the Territory of Kansas
Is considered '.our SOIL BY the North as well
AS by the South; and was SO held out when
that act was passed.
We do not anticipate. however. that the

selves better with ploughshares than with
swords. The peaceful prairies of Minnesota

holders in that Territory and whenever the
passions of the North shall be so far aroused
as to prepare for all the horrible realities OF

the ban of a doomed country must rest on
Kansas. She must be retarded in her mater

until better public sentiment prevails.

may sound bold and brave to boast of such a
position; but men of sense, who love material
prosperity. who love the peace and quiet of
their families, and particularly who desire to
possess slave property IN security. will avoid a
debatable ground. The owners of slaves will
