II Mr. Thayer had given inside instead OF outside
view Of the operations aud plans Of the society, Il Is
not improbable that the influence Of money in secur-
ing their objects would be more manifest than it
Is under the partial developments made by him.
Ii is enough, TO sustain the position Of the President
to know that, whilst the true meaning Of the Kan
law is that the bona fds settlers should have the
right uncontrolled by ertraneous Influences uttered In
the shape Of pecunay considerations threats force
to manage their domestic they please great
moneyed corporation has eonessedy undertaken to inter
fere in way wholly inconsistent with the spirit Of the
law .a,. .s #....'# Z
IL will also be by Mr. Thayers speech that he does
not disguise the fact that this money corporation may
hereafter assume to carry its opera
tions into the States where slavery exists He would
also justify gross interference with the domestic in
stitutons Of the South upon the miserable plea that IL
would be violation of the letter of the law The adj
mission by prominent advocate Of the Aid-Socety
movement Mr. Thayer that its plans may hereafter
brace the southern States Is conclusive proof that al
though Kansas is their present field Of operations their
objects reach far beyond the immediate settlement Of the
slavery question in that Territory Under such dsclo

that every truly national in the North will sec how
