THE LAWS THEY MADE.
The following are a few specimens Of the
laws enacted tor Kansas by the Border Rufiians.
They do credi, to those who enacted them
They are extracted from the Statutes OF Kan
sas," published "by authority" at the Office of
the missouri Republican, and are genuine
They are in violation Of every theory Of human
rights-in direct conflict with the Constitution Of
the United States. The freedom of the press
and the liberty of speech are eflectually de-
s,royed as under the despotism of Napoleon
While every elective power is removed from the
people by the appointment of officers down to
justices and constablcs, by the mock legislature.
This Is the kind of popular sovereignty Frank |
lin Pierce proposes to enforce with the Army |
and Navy of the United States All the People |
of Kansas who are not willing to part with the |
right of suffrage and of trial by jury are to be
shot down:
