moderate Pro. Slavery men here on this subject,
and all Of them preferred the Topeka COnAtituton,
as that document contains more favorable terms
for the eXtinpushment Of Slavery now here than
could be got from the sett5Ts Of Naneas after
what they hsve suffered The chief danger of this
policy lies in it's tendency - cause fresh difficulty
and discord, by requiring that fresh steps for the
establishment of a Government be taken. After
what the Territory has suffered, such policy
would not only be indiscreet, but unnecessary and
cruel
1t will be remembered thai few OF the Pro
Slavery residtnto have taken a very active part IN
the more marked Outrages here. During the VT
lat Fall there was a mere handful of actual resl
dents in the Pro slagery camp, and bur few of
these were with the Marshal in his ince ldary
plunderng posse. They have, indeed. aided and
abetted and taken advantage of all the rascal y,
but the chief movers and actors the irresp0n-
sible tools OF an OverreacDl1g Oiigarchy. Now,
however these latter feel some OF the effects Of
