Tsyritory trth smtgrants from the South.
The population Of the Territory at this time
is about eaual-as many pro-slavery settlers
as abolitionists; but the fanatics have ennis
saries in all the free States-in almost every
village-and by Misrepresentation and false;
hood are engaged in collecting money and en-
listing men TO tyranize over the South. Is It
in the nature of Southern men to submit with
out resistance, to look to the North for their
laws and institutions? We do not believe IL!
If, then, the South is Influenced by a spirit of
self respect and indepence, let societies be
formed to assist smigrants Those who cam
not emigrate can contribute money to assist
those who can We have such societies in
Missouri, and VIC can induce more people to
emierate than We are able to support If the
whole South would adopt this system, we
would succeed; Kansas would be slave
State, and the slavery agitation would cease.
If We permit the North to make An abolition
State of Kansas, the whole South must SUBJ
NIT to be governed by the North. Will the
South help us? 30 /
The great struggle will come of at the next
election, in October, 1855, and unless the
South can at that time maintain her ground,
all will be lost. We repeat it, the crisis has
arrived. The time has come for action-6old,
determined action = words will no longer do
any good-we must have men in Kansas; and
that too by tens of thousands A few will
not answer. If we should need ten thousand
and lack one Of that number, all will count
nothing. Let all then, who can come, do so
at once. Those who cannot come, must give
their money to help others to come There
are hundreds of thousands of broad acres of
rich land, worth from SIS to $40 per acre, open
to settlement and pre-emption, at 81 Is per
acre. Let, then, the farmer come and bring
his slaves with him. There are now one
thousand slaves in Kansas, whose presence
there strengthens our cause. Shall We allow
these rich lands and this beautiful country
to be overrun by our Abolition enemies? We
know of q surety that they have emissaries
and spies in almost every town, village and
city in the South. watching our movements,
and tampering with our slaves. Let us, then,
be vigilsnt and active in the cause we must
maintain our ground. The loss of Kansas to
the South, will be the death knell of our dear
Union. .H
Missouri has done nobly, thus far, in over
coming the thousands who have been sent out
by Abolition Aid Societies; we cannot hold
out much longer, unless the whole South will
come to the rescue. We need men; We need
money send us both, and that quickly. Do
not delay; come as individuals, come in COM
panies come by thousands.
Our hearts have been made glad by the late
arrival of large companies from South Caro-
lima and Alabama. They have responded
promptly to our call for help. The noble
Buford is already endeared to our hearts; we
love him; We will fight for him, and die for
him and his companions. Who will follow his
noble example? We tell you now, and tell
you frankly, that unless you come quickly,
and come by thousands, we are gone. The
elections once lost, we are lost forever. Then
farewell to our Southern cause, and farewell
to our glorious Union. We repeat the cry,
d" come over and help u.s."
