where they were rallying their forces to go to
Kansas, and "vote at the point of q Bowie

edit an inhammatory Pro-Slavery sheet in Kan
sas 10 which he has few hundred dollar sub
scrbcrs, who live in Missouri. and who want to
make the suuat:ers believe that the best form
of government is that which is composed ofty-
rants and slaves.

tain Slavery ut all hazards in Kansas. lie
said that Slavery existed in Kansas and evsry-
where else where it was not prohibited by un

of it, and. if they succeeded they would steal
all your slaves, horses and oxen, and every
thing else that our rich country would be
ruined. lie dcnoul ced Gov. Rccder as the

After this ferocOus monster got through in

They demanded the suppression of tie freedom
