Mr.. Pierce had had finger in all thci
troubles. When Gen. Lane and an,
other democrats, " said Col Emery, tool
measures, on our first arrival in the terrific
ry, to organize democratic party there, W,
were told by President picrccs Agents, ',c
'c'H hare no dcmocrdiic porty hcrc irhich l.
mt pIedgod 10 SlarrY.' "Thcn, said we. W.
arc no longer members of the Dcinocra.i
party" In Kansas and Missouri, Pierce de-
mocrat and pro-sltyery man are identical
terms-whlo all who do not aid in tn,
scheme for extending the course Of SLAYER,
are denounced as Niger stcalcrs
Col. Emery testified to the high character
oil the NurmOnters in Kanzls. There WAS on,

they hacked him to pieces with their hatch

In conclusion, Col. Emery made n most
eloquent and effective appeal to the people OF
Vermont for sympathy and aid. The cause of
the Free State men calls for considerable out
lays of money. The property DESTROYED in
the invasion Of Lawrence and the expenses of
its defence, cost its inhabitants not less than
$4,000. kanzas is but the battle pround M
the great contest between Freedom and
Slavery and the issue is still doubtful.
With retarded migration from the Free
States and an increased migrate IN from the
South-with Missouri ready again as before
TO Interfere, and with all the force and in.
huence OF the Administration to contend
against, it could by no means be considered
sure that kanzas would be n free State That
depends on the manner in which the North
responds to her appeal. Her battle said he is
