would never have thought of leaving If they had not

ed at that under these circumstances Missouri should
feel sensitive about having another free State upon ner

Does the North know of this fact that about year
since II was rumored in Missouri that the leading abo
toniss Of Massachusetts, Rev. Theodore Parker Garrison
and others, had raised company with capital Of FIVE
millions Of dollars for the express purpose Of making
Kansas free State9 The spread like lightning

confirmed By the passage Up the river o. steam am

the excitement? Had not the Missouri people much
right to there and settle as the people from Massachu
sesa And yet the whole of the North, to man, seem
TO think that the Missouri had no right there
but that the abohtionis egrants sent there by Rev.
Theodore Parker and others of his kind we're the only
rishtful occupants Of the soil say and affirm that the
Missouri settlers did not drive oil the free soil settlers

ways will be in exciting elections, whether there or else
where.
Now, gents these are a Missourian's opinions the
subject and if all the circumstances were well known
convinced that the conservative men o. Philadelphia
would not blame them.
What would be the effect, do you suppose, ii the peo
pie Of Missouri should declare their intention Of moving
in body to the State Of Massachusetts, for the purpose
OF settling there, by their numbers outvotng the
people, with the intention OF altering the state consu
