 It s propasef to form local Aid Associations in the small towns of the county for which will bc hereafter announced x s-<' We have not the ability adequate to leader upon this subject, and lookingoser this community which exhibits such apparent deadness regarding the most fearful and aggressive act of tyranny known since the landing of the Pilgrims, wc are astonishel to the depth of our nature. The comparison between the oppression of patriot Fathers and the oppression of our patriot Brothers in Kansas shows balance altogether On the side of the latter The antecedents of England the power invested in the king and par iament, andthc dependent circumstances of the colo nies afforded no slight pretcxt for the demands of the Home Government. Bat for this usurpation of l our rights in Kansas there is not shadow of an excuse; it is merely an act of oppression, secretly patched in Washington, and when fully prepared brought before the people, and then enforced by the arms and treasure of the Government. There is no disgusting the matter, it is clearly proved as ever proved that for at least eight months pre- vious to the introduction of the Kansas Nebraska Bill, the minions of government were secretly ar ranging it's numerous detail securing and fortifynG all its outposts and sustaining and fostering a tho State of Missouri secret societies and lodges in d
 rect communication with the Executive head of the United States. and that when the bomb was fully charged it was thrown, red-hot, into the nnsuspect 1 ing camp of the Northern States. We do notintcnd to waste time paper upon this head the case has been tried and proved and tho oaths of the witnesses are on filc and are now being read from one end of 1 the Union to the other. :.
 The North, thus taken by surprise. for moment ! Senate and House of Representatives and these to. gethcr with the forces of the South outnumbered her; but no sooner did she recover from the shock than she in her strength, and with honest pur- pose and determined will resolved to meet her epEo nents on their own ground, and chcerfnly to abide the result The Administration and its Southern Auxiliarics was eight months ahead of hcr-their plans were fully maturcd, hoards of reckless and armed men were waiting on the borders of Missouri ready, at moments warning, to march into the territory-and march into it they did and when the first Northern emigration arrived they were met | by party of Mssourians who assured them they should not settle within the bounds of the territory The Missouriaas were armed with riies the Free State men with few shot guns and rifles, and the former threatened to fire if attempt WIS made to encamp. The Free State leader told them to Ire, and they perccvng his determined character retired and left his company in possession tf the gronnd stood the fourshing town ot Lawrence. When we say dourishing-wc mean what we assert, and in one instance alone record, the city of San Fran cisco,) has . town of the beauty and activity of Lawrence sprung into existence in this dream like, marvellous way. That Hotel which was indicted as nuisance by the courts of Kansas and destroy cd by band headed by an United States Marshall, was erected at expense of thirty thousand dollars
 and its furniture cost over ten thousand and won- derful as is this Aladdin like tale of enterprise it is not commensurate with the history of the general industry of the Free State men of Ksnsas. InsvrN
 direction previous to the seeking of the country, were claims fenced off, and ploughed and sowed, corn green aud luxuriant, and wheat, barley and oats waved in the breeze, and from the chimney of thou sands of Free State cabins rose the smoke in the morning, curling Hcayenwards, whence long before had risen the morning prayer of the Northern pil- grim, Now. we defy the Administration party to prove that there is in the territory of Kansas single e!au, which has been taken np by Bufords Co.,, and the utter falsehood of Col Bufords letter. stating that it was too late to commence farming when he entered te Territory isestabshed by the fact that tho New Haven Go, who went into the tcrriso- IT, two days previously, planted and got into good state of cultivation 500 acres of corn
 No, they went into kansss to expci the Free State settlcrs-to burn their houses-murdcr their men aod violate their women ani they have done it, and the administration sustaiDs taem in it. and every man here among us who thinks to cast his yote for Buchanan or Fillmore sastsins them init ''Yea the wicked reign and the people mourn =
 The object of this Society is to raise means to buy
