The Var d ngun---The Remedy.

Too late for editorial comments, we re-
ceved on "Wednesday evening, through the
politeness of the Clerk of the Galena, TIE
startling news that the Free State City Of
Lawrence, Kansas, had been destroyed by
the Missouri Ruifian mob, under lead of the
United States Marshal of that Territory
Time for talking and expostulating with
these slave-drubbing cut-throats is at an
end. The war between Freedom and Slav-
cry has commenced. The Free North must
prepare for battle as our forefathers did
when George the Third placed the heel of
his Kingly "prerogative" upon the necks OF
the free people of Massachusetts Bay. The
cases now and then are precisely similar
and there is just as much cause why we q
the North should now boldly face these
domestic tyrants with arms in our hands, as
there was that the men of Concord and
Lexington should fire upon the hirelings OF
Queen Victoria's Grandfather, when their
commander called out to those patriots
Throw down your arms, you ID rebels
and disperse!"
The North must arouse and. rally to the
support of the Great Principle of Freedom
let the consequences be what they may.
The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1856-05-31

we are as much as ever convinced of the
great evil of Slavery. We believe that all
men, by nature, have an equal right to
Freedom, and that no man has a moral right
to hold fellow being as property. There
fore, no STAKEHOLDER shall he eligible to mem
bership in our church hereafter, where
emancipation can be effected without injury
to the Slave. But, inasmucil as persons
may be brought into the legal relation of
shareholders, involuntarlly, or voluntarily,
by purchasing slaves in order to free them,
therefore, the merely legal relation shall
not be considered, of itself, sufficient to ex-
clude person who may thus sustain it, from
the fellowship Of the church.
j Ans. 2. Whenever a member of our
church, 10y any means, becomes the owner
of slave, it shall be the duty Of the Preach
er in charge to call together committee, of
at least three members, who shall investi-
gate the case, and determine the time in
which such slave shall be free, and on his
refusal or neglect to abide by the decision of
said committee, he shall be dealt with as in
case of immortality.
Ans. 3. 1t shall be the duty of all our
members and practitioners, who may sus-
tain the legal relation of STAKEHOLDER, to teach
their servants to read the word Of God to
allow them to attend the public worship of
God, on our regular days of Divine service
to protect them In the observance of the
duties of the Conjugal and Parental rela-
tlons; to give them such compensation for
their services as may, under the circum-
stances, be just and equal; to make such
provisions as may be legally practicable, to
prevent them and their posterty from pass
ing into perpetual slavery, and to treat them
in all respects, as required by the law of
love.
Ans. 4. 1t shall be the duty of our
Preachers prudently to enforce tie above
rules.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

give you the conclusion of the testimony
taken by the Congressional Committee at
Lawrence. They arc now busily engaged
in the examination of witnesses, and | will
forward testimony as fast | can write it
out.
A PLATTE BOY EXAMINED.
Thomas Thorps sworn-I live in Platte
County, within half mile of Parkvilc. l
have lived there ever since 1896. | have
been in Missouri since 1913. | was born in
Kentucky. l was at Parkv:llc when the
press of the Luminary was thrown ntn the
river. / saw it taken down and saw it put
into the river.
KANSAS LEGISLATORS AND KANSAS VOTERS.
l know Dr. Tibbs. CDR. Tibbs was
member of the Shawnee LcGislaturc.) DR..
Tibbs owned q claim Oh the Giasshurper :;
he never lived in the Territory before this
election but he had cattle and niegers over
on his claim. He told me lie voted in Platte
County last August, after lie had set in the
Kansas Legislature-and they talked about
running him for Office.
| know several companies went over from
Platte County to Kansas to vote. They
said they voted after they returned. They
wanted me to throw in to pay their cxpen-
scs. Jesse Summer was one Of the men
who gave money to hire men to 90 over
They swarmed over at both Territorial cleo
tions. They said that one day in Kansas
made them citizen. When they asked me
to throw in, said as how | didn't feel like
it. Says |, / dent want SO much water to
my coffee. l wouldn't do it. | think their
invading was done all the time. Gregg told
me lie voted there, and lie Las no land in
Kansas and don't live there.
THE MEN WHO MoB8ED TIE iuMINARY.
| Some Of the same men-,nost all OF them
who destroyed Mr.. Parkes press, went
over to Kansas. l think all Of them. DR.
| Walker, John and Mat Winsome
could name ffty-its innumerable, l
couldn't name them all-the whole positatus
that throwed the press into the river-went
over to Kansas and voted.
They said that they believed that Parke's
paper belonged to TIE Emierant Aid So
ceties' Co. l read it. l never seen any
thing like abolitionism in it.
| I'ye heard rumor about secret society in
Platte county, they said Atkinson & Co.
had one.
There wasn't more than thirty in the
crowd that throwed Parke's press into the
river.
