tending free State citizens.
Two DAYS after, on January %, Gen. Lane
and Gen, Robinson asked the President to is
sue his proclamation for5iddlng this lawless
invasion Of their Territory. The Senator from
Connecticut hatters himself that those OF us
WHO do not approve the course OF the Admin
istration viii be greatly disappointed to ma
that the leaders Of the free-State movement IN
Kanzas have implored the Executive to issue
his proclamation. Let not the Senator from
Connecticut lay the fattering JUNCTION to
his soul, that we are chagrined at the us
closure of this correspondence. Robinson,
in behalf Of the imperiled people OF Aanzas'
asked the p esident to issue "hls prociaih-
alton Immediately forbiddlng the INVASION,
which # carried out as planned, viii staha

fcn Int that proclamation is chiefly and
mainly directed against Lane and Roeinson
and the hberty-loylng, law abiding Free State
men of Kanzas. Like his annual message,
in which he softly spoke of the long series OF
the bistoTv IF Christian States, as oirrregular-
idesf-.like that special message in which the
AGGRESSIVE acts of the Missouri invaders which
covered over with mild and honeyed phrases,
and the defensive measures of tie actual set

inc execntive censure. this proclamation will

INVASION from the State of Missouri. The Sc.
cretary shrinks from putting himself against
the lawless men who represent Power in
this country behind that sustains them
Ia their aggressive acts. Sir, the Secretary
bends to that Power he bows to these men
who have no "qualms of conscience as to vi
olatlng laws, State or national;' and we have
mad nothing but bows to these men for the
last eighteen months from the other end Of the
avenue.
The reason why the Government has not
used its proper legitimate influences in Kan
zas for peace, for order, and for liberty, is the
same reason which originally snatched that
four hundred and fifty thousand square miles
OF free soil-consecrated forever to the labor
ing millions of this country--and flung it OPP
en- to the Understanding interests.
Dir, know that men IN the confidence of
the Administration have expressed the idea
that the Administration intends, if the peo-
Pies Legislature meets on the 4th Of March,
TO arrest the members the moment they take
the oaths OF otlce. IL well known fact,
sH,-known by those who know anything
about affairs In hanzas-that they do not in
tend to pass laws, or to interfere Ill any way
with the legislation of the country; that they
intend merely to assemble, state their grieve-
ances tc the country, and choose Senators TO
come here, to implore us, in Gods name, to
carry out the wishes of the people, and allow
Kanzas to take her place in this Union of free
commonwealths. l understand these to be
the intentions of the tried and trusted lead.
ers Of the free State men in Kanzas.
You may arrest Governor Robinson and the
leaders of the free State party; you may i'm
prison them, if you will you may shed the
blood OF the actual settlers of Kanzas but
you cannot break their spirits, or crush out
their hopes. The people of Kanzas nre for n
