Herewith you will find tho appeal Of your friends
In Kansas, together with a letter acurediting me as
their agent to solicit your aid in maintaining that in.
dispensable breahwater TO The angry tile OF Adolf
ton. Wan; of time forbids my calling on many oil
yuu personally. Read that address ;kuughtfuilyi con-
slider that if Kausas, our natural boundary Ia tn.
| North. West, is lost, that then Missouri aud all West
Of the Mississippi, nay, too, all East Uf II, must snon
follow, while, If we maintain II, the territories West
of Arkansas aud Texas are safe 10 us-nny, the futuIe
Is safe. Ask yourselves whether YOU ars prepared Ia
surrender white supremacy in the South, to debase
your blood, to degrade Your soc!a! and political sta
tus TO the Level OF au inferior race, by submitting
to AboIiiIup's mandate TO fret"rnize with 1t. Re.
member, that | aud all who know the country will
tell you that sla vrt thrive and do well III Kansas, and
that there and ii Western Missouri their labor pays
better than in auy cnttou State II ;he union. Reflect
that We hsve everything to encourage us IN the strug-
yls-we still control the government at the territory,
our immigration is daily increasing, while that from
the North has greatly diminished. In Illinois, as If
in disgust, they HAYS lately applied to electioneerlng
purposes, the funds they had raised for ernlSrsnts.--
Remember that, Instead of endangering the Union,
our winning Kansas makesi IL permanent, by enabling
US TO defend our rights iu il, aud by di'cum6ting and
breaking down the agitators. Think Of the msgui.
tude of The questions at issue; think Of the im,ninence
Of our peril, aud you will not need personal solicita-
t;on. bnt each one of his own voltiou will send his
cnntribuiiof according to his means. Those who
cannot alone send their fifties, hundreds or thousands,
caG unite with fifty or an hundred Others and do so.
Who're there's a will, there's a way. ,
Remit in drafts Oh New York, payable or endorsed
TO our chairman, the Hon. u. X. A,chi'on-f conve'
nieot. get duplicate rnfts-encl"s, the or,s'ns! or the ,
duplicate to onr treasurer, A. G. Boone, Ed at
Westpurt, Missouri, aud the other 10 our cna'tuah'
at Atchi.on, Kansas Territory. Take the pos,maS.
ter, receipt and then you have three guarantees mat i
your contribution will not mi.carry. BE assured II
will not be missppli-d; our TREASURER anu cnait!ush
are both gentlemen Of wealth, as we'll as OF the high
est character. Aud it is better to send III ihis way
than by the hands of a collecting ageHt, for then ooth
his authority aud his responsibility become questions
Of Indifference.
II the contributions justify it, l propose to take
out Que hundred emigrants TO form the central colony
alluded to in the address. l want only men who, as
long as required, will abstain from liquor aud will i'm
plici,ly obey orders. To such a company, if the funds
are raised, l will give one town site Of three hundred
acres, with the privilege Of their getting prescriptions,
and / will transport them to Kansas aud fad them
provisions ill the middle Of April next. The OWL
site u central to one Of the beet counties in the terri.
tory, and will most probably bseume It's county seat.
