GOV. Sla,snOn.s speech.

After signing the articles of agreement
we published two weeks ago, Gov. Shan
non was called out, and addressed the peo-
pie of Lawrence, as folows:-
"There was part of the people of this
Territory who denied the validity Of the
laws of the Territorial Legislature. He
was not there to urge that yalhityj but
these laws should be submitted to until a
legal tribunal has set them aside. He did
not see hos there was any other course
but such submission to them, and it certain
ly was not his part, as an executive officer,
to set them aside or disregard them. He
was happy to announce that, after having
an interview with the officers of their Com
mittee Of Safety, he had found them induced
thus far to respect these laws, they being
willing to see them enforced, provided they
had the reserved right of testing and es-
Gaping from them legally. He was happy
to announce that all difficulties were set
tied. There was perfect understanding be.
tween the Executive aud the commttee.-
The difficulties had arisen from msunder-
standing. He would go down and disband
the sheriff's posse. He would dismiss the
officers of Territorial! militia, Generals Rich.
ardson and Stickles, would order that their
forces be not disbanded until they were
taken to Leavenworth or the neighborhood
of Westport. All the difficulties were ad-
justed, and he was willing and anxious to
do all in his power to prevent collision
and the shedding oc blood He hoped that
the men now in the Territory and in camp
below would be got out Of the Territory
without hostililes intervening. He would
do all in his power to influence them. He
would urge upon the people of Lawrence
to be moderate, to pursue wise course,
to avoid collision. Do not be too bel
ligerent. He wanted them to consult their
judgment and their reason, not their feel
ings AMI their passions. One advantage
they would now have if they had to Sight
the fight would now be between them and
the mob. OF course he could not condemn
them for defending themselves. They were
right, and he would do all in his power to
sustain them; but he hoped the men en-.
csmped could now be induced 10 leave, and
that there would be no efflsion of bio ID.

How to make Kansas a Slave State.
LETTER OF SENATOR BROWN, OF MISSISSIPPI.
SfEAMER EMPRESS, Nov. "a, 1855.


SrEAMER EMPRESS, Nov. "a, 1855.
Long and anxious reflection has satisfied
me that the Southern people owe il
to their own safety to use all the means
in their power to introduce slavery into
Kansas, ond to protect it after it gets there.
The Northern Freesoil Emigration Aid So
cieties are actively at work to exclude
slavery from the territory. Their efforts
ought to be met and promptly repelled,-
The most efficient means for US to use in
the accomplishment OF this purpose is the
proper question for our consideration. Our
decision must not be long delayed, If we
mean to defend our rights
The late movement in Georgia in favor
of individual subscriptions to raise money
in aid of pro-slavery emigration to Kansas
has already attracted considerable attention.
But the backwardness with which our peo-
pie approach that proposition seems to IN
dcate that it will not be embraced with
unanimity. Every Shareholder has direct
interest in the question, and every one
should, contribute in proportion to his IN
tereSt. This, I am satisfied, all, or nearly
ALL. would willingly do, if proper guarantees
were given that the money 80 contributed
was to be jujiciously applied. To insure
this, and at the same time to obtain speedy
and decisive action, will it not be wei for
the Legislature to take the matter in hand!
A tax Of one dollar per head on slaves
would raise at once three hundred and
twenty five thousand dollars. In such an
emergency the people would not grumble
if it was assessed in March and collected
in May. This sum, juSiciously laid out
would buy at least three hundred slaves
and leave a surplus sufficient to deray the
expenses OF three hundred emigrsnts te
Kansas. i.f
My plan would bs thus: for the State to
purchsse the slaves in her own name, anc
| send them in charge Of reliable persona in
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1856-01-24

TO the territory, to be held there ms th
property of the State, and used for the
benefit of persons having them in charge.
Mississippi is certainly part owne. of the
territory, and the power that could right
fully confscate or expel ner property from
the territory, would have to be something
greater than an equal thitk greater
than those of an individual. The point
gained by this movement would, as | think,
be to plant slavery in the territory, backed
by the sovereignty of the State, and thus
place it upon the. most solid and Lcertain
basis.
The persons going out in charge OF the
slaves could be chosen by commissioners
to be appointed for each county by the
Governor, and these commissioners could
also purchase the slaves.
A young MssissppiaD, thus made the
master of slave by his State, and sent,
free of charge, to such territory as Kan
sas, would do tie necessary voting, and, #
needs be. the fighting also, required to
sustain the acts OF his State in the ter
rtory. .'
la short, my proposition is for the State
to color ze three hundred slaves, and ap-
point three hundred of her young men to
defend them with ballots, and. if necessary
with bullets. To do this, will cost one
dollar'n head on every slave in the State,
and no more. If all the slave States will
follow the example, in twelve months Ne
would have a slave colony in Kansas that
all the abolitionists in tho Union could not
expel.
If you think well Of this proposition put
it in such form as will arrest the attsn-
ton Of the Legislature.
It will not do to rely on individual enter
prise. The interest involved is too great
to be left to such uncertain de!ences. The
persons interested are too numerous ana
too widely scattered, even, to ac: in sui-
Gcicnt concert to procure the best and
speediest results.
A. G. BkowS.
We commend the above "plan" to the
attention of the people of the free States.
The South is no longer satisfied to wait
the natural course of events. 1t is satisti.
ed with encouraging companies 10 act: as
was done by the Massachusetts legislature.
1t is now proposing to enter the field, as
3tates, and to force the institution OF S!a-
very upon the people of Kansas. The
North has never attempted any such high
handed measure, and we have very little
faith to believe the South can be brought
to sanction it. A tax of one dollar upon
each slave would no doubt make very
convenient sum with which to operate
When this is raised and the slaves are dis
patched, we are inclined 20 think the
North will be wide enough awake to take
steps that viii Counteraot all such pro-
slavery movements The South ought to
understand, that in such a race the North
has vastly the most men and means. we
are, however, glad that Senator Brown has
given us his plano s. Journal.
