4 Matter for Missourians to Conside.


.A Matter for Missourians to Consider.
We have from the beginning present
ed "a tss fseefss of tbs UHited States, all
the latest information in regard TO Kansas
aifairs, and have never Disseminated, in
50 doing, about publishing the facts,
whether they were consonant with the
views we yourselves might entertain or not.
Such is also the course we intend to pur-
sue in the future. The Missouri Demo-
erat shall present an authentic narrative
of passing events. and in order to fulfill
such purposes, we here transfer to our
columns two articles touching upon Kan
sas matters. which we commend TO the
attention of our readers.
The one consists of the speech of Mr.
Chapman, in regard to the Northern En-
iyrant Aid Society-the other is an arti-
Gle from the Montgomery, Ala, Adver-
tiser, in behalf of the Southern Emigrant
Aid Society The people of Missouri
who have implicated themselves in these
matters, csnAow Judge to what pass
they are bringing our own glorious Stale
bS sslrh an insane course as that OF en-
dorsing either the agitators of the North
or those of the South. If the speech OF
Mr.. Chapman be true, they have diverted
the whole emigration Of the East from
our own turalthoroughfare, and forced
it through Iowa. If tile remarks of the
Advertiser be true. we are likely to have
ourselves invaded by band of nuilitiers
who have but one idea, and care moth
ing for the interests of our S ate or Kan
sas either, so that they accomplish their
own ends.
Let the people of Missouri who have
an interest in its agricultural. CONNER
cial and manufacturing prosperity reflect
upon these matters, and see while time
permits to what they are being driven
by reckless demagogues and unprinei.
Piled politicians:
Here are the two articles:
