during the existence Of the late difhcuisies

pey his handful eight dollars per month";
and allows them 10 have all the property
they can steal from the pro-slavery party
il Kansas. This very liberal Offer has
keen The secre, OF the congregation ol sucf
large force in this Territory. whose &C.
,ions the past few weeis. lay in the shade
the achievements Of Jack Sheppard and
the noted highwayman Davall. We ar
told that in the tents of the traitors at Law
renee can be seen any quantity oi sioier
property, taken from the different pio
slavery stores in the Territory. Many o
Lanes men having acquired as much prep
erty as they desired, have returned VIII

i.ct 10 the ariurous duties OF soldiers
Ike, we have returned TO our homes TO re-
.uIDe our long neglected business. In
werd. We will sag that the difficulties are
ne. yet adjusted, and peace is farther from
Us ,han at any other former period. We
may for few weeks be permitted topur-
sue our avoca,ions. but We are as certain
OF again being called upon to take up arms
sgains, ths maranding forces Of Lane Il
Co.. who have publicly declared their de-
sign in coming to Kansas was TO plunder.
and murder members of the pro-slavery
party. They are bold in their assertions,
tia. making Kansas a Free State Is a
secondary consideration. Plunder. the
craving Of all bandit,i, seems TO De the

that the two parties cannot exist In 'hi'
