men go from South Carolina to Kanzas, they
will never be interfered with in the exercise
of their legal rights by the men who have gone
there from New England or from the North.

Atchison's lieutenant, Stringfellow, calls
upon the South to come to the aid of Missou-
rans who have dictated law to Kanzas. and
the South that Atchison, Stringiellow, and
their lawless followers, have been the only
means, uader God, of teaching such miscre-
ants as the editor of the Missouri Democrat
and his Lawrence friends, that the way to the
abolitionizing Of Missouri and Kanzas, is a
road of reddest blood for them to travel"
Sir, to appease the unhallowed desires of
the Slave Propaganda, you complied with
Atchison's demands, and repealed the Mis-
souri, Prohibition. You then told the labor
ing men Of the Republic, whose heritage you
thus put in peril, that they could shape, mould,
and fashion, the institutions of those future

| these settlers from the South, perhaps a ma

free State. That many of these emigrants
from the South are in favor Of rearing free IN
stitutions, will surprise no one who under

grants are poor men, and have felt in their
native homes the malign influences which bear
with oppressive force upon free labor. Thirty
five per cent. of the emigration of the slave
States has sought homes in the free States,
while less than ten per cent. of the emigra-
ton from the free States and from the old
world, find homes in the slave States, altho'
those States embrace the largest as well as the
fairest regions Of the country east of the
Rocky Mountains.
