1t bring suffering and distress very large portion
of the people Of the United States and it must bring dis
credit upon this country abroad in the eyes of the whole
civilized world The history of the world showed that
whenever attempt had been made to overthrow any
government good bad the first step had always been to
cripple and destroy The army Revolutionists at all times
have resored to this He charged the freeso
party with having in Iowa to vote Illegally at the late
election, and then the transportation bill
defeated and Congress had adjourned, they marched
into Kansas and commenced civil For weeks and
months prior TO that time there had been peace and quiet
in Kansas but he believed that Lane sent there by
