That John P. Hale, the leading Black

and Foster, Black Republican Senators
from the New England States united
with the ultra Southern members, and
cut off q part of the Free State vote in

That the Black Republicans in the
House have originated a bill ostensibly
to settle the Kansas difficulties which
they kno10 can neither pass the Senate, |
mon receive Egecutice ~oppTovaz: but

which to hide their diabolical purpose,
of coafi1z.j1o the 0afr0peS 1nH rSote
and murders IN Kansas, from the with
ering condemnation of the people.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLEl
That party that thus trides with the
leace of the Union, and plays q political
game with the lives and safety of the ill.,
habitants of Kansas, is worthy only of
universal execration, and speedy and
utter destruction.
