pie. to govern themselves, TO destroy the
rights of the States. and place in the
hands of the General Government the
power, for naioritys to make slaves of
the minority.
1t is well known now, that fully four
fifths Of the whole population of this Ter
ritory, prefer slave, to an abolition State,
and all that is necessary to effect that pur-
pose, is for our people to heed the warn
ings. and recognize and countenance none
other, than that good old doctrine, that hewho
is not for us, is against us. In other words
he in Kansas Territory, that does not
operate with the Pro-Slavcry party, is an
Abolitionist. We know that men profess
sing honesty will come among us, and
speak differently, and will set up papers
advocating different doctrine. They will
extoll the principles of the Kansas Ne
braska bill. They will speak of the right
of the people of all the States to settle
here, and that our policy is to have no ex-
citemen, on the Slavery question, until we
are about to adopt constitution, and then
quietly decide it at the ballot box. They
will claim to be old and true Democrats,
union loving Wings &c. we tell you now
in advance Kansas Pro-Slayery Squatters,
all such men these days are base hypo-
critical aholitionists. whose sole object is to
steal away your rights. Remember the
traitor Reeder! He, too, came with such
professions. Others may come with the
patronage of Office, making similar pro-
fessions, singing sweet songs, with the hope
of atolitionising Kansas. They, too, may
have organs to set up fence grounds in or
der to gull Southern men. You have raised
your banner-keep it flying, with no other
motto save Southern Rights, or Aboli-
tionisln.
Every man in the nation, who has brains
enough to conceive an idea, and republican
blood enough in him to resent an insult,
knows full well, that the only question now
agitating our country from its centre to its
circumference, is, shall the States retain
their sovereignty, and the Southern people
their rights under the Constitution, or shall
Abolitionism, under a multitude of names,
swallow up the rights of the people, and
force the minority to be the vassals of the
majority.
The South must and will prevail If the
Southern people but half do their duty, in
less than nine months from this day, Kan
sas will have formed constitution, and be
knocking at the door for admission as a
Sovereign State of Gree-men: The Legis-
lature Of our Territory will soon meet, and
slave property, already secure here, be-
cause the Squatters and Southern men,
will be made doubly secure By forever si-
lencing abolitionism among us. Come on
with your slaves, fillup the Territory. New
er let the fire already kindled abate one
particle, until Kansas is Slave State
Do your duty Southern men, to yourselves
and your country. In the session of the
United States Senate in 1856, two Scna-
tors from the Slave holding State of Kan
sas will take their seats, and Abolitionsm
will be forever driven from our Halls of
Legislation, the universal shout of every
true hearted republican in our Union, will
be, honor and praise be given, to that spirit
which stimulated the Missourians and all
other lovers Of our country, to settle in
Kansas and drive forever from our land
the hideous monster abolitionism, which
under the guise Of Elnigrant Aid Societies,
sought by fraud and misrepresentation, to
seize upon the fair soil of Kansas, and
thereby gain the power to spread desola-
ton and ruin over our whole country.
