You will perceive from publicationin the "Irue
Carolniani of last week, and the "Ga=ettc'' Of
this week. that have been requested to visit the
South to raise men and money By the fro-Slavery
Association of Lcavenworth, and the association
of Carolina emigrants To stump the States Of
the South for this purpose, would transcend my
strength and means and consume almost trc en-

sas IS soon possible, and if the people of the
South intend to raise men and money to sustaln
the pro-slavery party in their present sanGulnary
contest with the Abolitionists, and inther cndcav-
ors to make that Territory Slave State, they
should do it at once. Delay is dangerous, and il
the pro slavery party receive no material aid and
no accessons to its ranks, it will be ovcrpowered,
and the Territory lost to the South The States
of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Ohio, since left
the Territory, have sent or are preparing to send

money to sustain the Abolition party, and the
South must promptly follow their example, or see

from personal intercourse with and knowledge Of
the Abolitionists, I caudidly believe that theil

either in Kansas or in the Union, and hence o

that be as it may, the South should at once send
or men and money sufficient to guard her rights
and sustain and protect her emigrants.
We went to Kansas this spring to settle and 60

take up arms and aid the United States Marshal
II compelling the abolitionists to submit to the
law. This duty should have fallen upon the Gov
ernment it fell upon the pro-slavery men, and
