THE TRUTH BRAvELY ToLD.-THE ABOLITION
lists OF MASSACHUSETTS, THE ONLY TRUE
"RUFFIANs."
The outcry raised by the abolition faction here at the
North and re-echoed from their missionary "rufans" in
Kansas against the citizens of Missouri being the nst
gators of all the trouble in Kansas is beginning to be
pretty well understood by the people throughout the coun
try These vicious inermedders having failed in their de-
sign TO secure the control of the legislature raise
the cry of border ruans direct the attention of the
people their infamous acts, as the culprit did
who to eude his pursuers joined in the cry "stop thief
The Msourians is alleged the first aggressoFs bp'
we must look home discover who was that threw
the first stone aye, even at own doors We charge
i. upon the black republicans, the abolitioniSts OF
Massachusetts, that while Missouri acted the defensive
policy they took the first step of aggression That false
step was taken when the legislature of Massachusetts,
ed the act incorporating the Massachusetts, Emgant Aid
Society for had not this society received charter which
vested it with the sembanee of authority at least, the
peace and harmony of the country would not now be
threatened with the apprehensions of intestine war The
act incorporating powerful moneyed corporation, the
plan and purpose of which to force abolition emf
grafton into Kansas with the avowed determination to
direct and control the organization OF the Territory,
in accordance with their narrow, illiberal and
sectional views, regardless Of the rights and wishes
of the lawful inhabitants regarded by the peo-
pie of Missouri and the entire South threat
that the influence and wealth of the abolition Fruf
fans" of Massachusetts, would he used under color Of
legal authority from the legislature to invade the Terrific
ny of Kansas and to usurp and wres from the people
thereof the rights guaranteed to them under the organic
law of the Territory manage their domestic con-
in their way 1t could be regarded in no othe
light That such the design OF this society from it
inception cannot be denied. They made secret Of it
indeed their boast loudly made that through the op
eaons Of this organization and its ruan hrengs Kan
would be made free State at whatever cost IL
the bloody ssue" They have not only kept good the
promise the extremity of shedding blood but they have
gone far beyond that the commission Of acts o
open treason.
This plan of invasion explicitly ennncated by the
Massachusetts, Ruaian" Society, in pamphlet published
by its officers headed by the of Amos A. Lawrence
shortly after its organization and it will hardly DO
that they have raised threatening about their
TO strive to arrest the consequences of their crime and
folly. The letter and spirit of the Kansas-Nebraska act
which left it @res Wi The people Of s Territories to rsgu
he constitution Of the United States" did not suit the
tonAl and unconstitutional views Of these Intermediates
and they determined to force their peculiar institu.
LONESOME of which would willingly spare-upon
the people Of Kansas without even condescendiug
TO consult their wishes in the premises and TO this
tnd, by the connivanco Of legislature, hve-m-
lion fund brought into rcquiston. The people o
Kansas however spurned their offer, and cooly gave
them to understand not only that their aid not
required but that ocous nterneddling would be toll
Grated by "ruans from Massachusetts, elsewhere that
they could and would manage their affairs in their
own way. This they did by electing and organizing the
territorial legislature, the only government that rghuuy
could be organized in the Territory and the only that
now does legally exist have legal force therein
until Kansas is admitted a sovereign State into the
unlon and her constitution approved by Congress This
was not precisely such result the fVe-mlon-fund
ruSna counted upon when they undertook tho business
OF directing and shaping the political desnes of the
''y Fortunately for Kansas and for the Union, they
were h"arted in their plans and hence the howngs and
curses ooh loud and deep that now heard on all sides
from these raving Bsdlami,ss
Up 70 'ne removal Of Reeder, however for maeasance
tney perperated ac only Of stupidity and folly which
could be attended with very serious conseouenees but
When subsequently, they undertook TO set up State gov
ernment in subvoson Of the constituted authorities OF the
Territory and in open dedanccof the establish
ed under the authority Of Congress and the socaed
snor and other officers proceeded the exercise Of
under constitution not sanctioned by Congress- then all
persons participating therein were guilty of overt acts Of
ueason for which they merit and we hope will receive
oondign punishment
justification Of their extraordinary and unparalleled
proceedings is attempted by these traitors by citing the
's Of California, Florida, Michigan and Arkansas but
no' single one Of these the initaory steps
'0r the organization Of State government taken in oppo
Hon TO the authority Of the local established
recognized by the government Of the United states In
s case OF Kansas on the contrary the State government
up in opposition to the laws Of Congress establishing
we territorial government which Is the only government
now ghtfuly in force and which cannot be abrogated
unless By an act Of Congress.
