R at is utterly impossible for the
Abolltionists to attempt to make Kansas
Free State. Nature designed it for
slavery and the South will never give
it up without a struggle which may
wreck the Union '-Richmond Eng.
"Man alone" says an old writer, "can
perform the Impossible" and the Free
State men of Kansas ere long will con-
vince even the rabid Richmond Enquirer
that there is some truth in the remark.
We emphatically deny that Nature de-
signed solitary foot of Gods earth for
slavery. God never created either a
STAKEHOLDER or slave. The struggle
which wrecks the Union, will wreck ne
gro slavery and its supporters with it
With God, humanity, and Sharp's rifles
on our side. we are prepared to meet any
struggle the South is DESTROYS of engag-
ing in with US.
