lis conclusion is a. follows:
"Such is view Of the actual condition of affairs
at this present momen; Aug 10TH 1t Is quite EVIL
dent that the NATIoSAL kansas Committee are in
great need of funds. 1t is apparent that THE CAUSE
demands exertion- and sacrifices which even its most
earnest friends scarcely dream Of Tho North, alas
still sleeps But our enemies vigant, unscrupu-
lous and untirug.
with "a resoluteness Of purpose worthy of iInlta-
ten. the demon-hearted ogarchy of the South look
goatingly on while the iron coils of their manyOded
despotism still hourly tighten their victim the crush
ing embrace of death.
"A masked and hypocritcal Administration lisps of
leniency and pacfcaton TO Northern ears, drowsy
and dreamy and, alas too anxious for begulement-
Esps with syren lure of quietude, at a moment when
all eyes that see behold the hunying platform of
events, of treasons plots and blood pressing onward
with RESTLESS force to its frightfu final verge!
AT an hour Ike this. sane man can expect 4

purposes other than new and revolving of
slaughter.

land is tut The prophetic quctudc 81 the earthquakes

On the 10th day of August, my return from the

innermost sanctuary of their hearrendings and despair

CRISIS /, UPON Isl The issue is made Tds long

The practical question cow before the North Is,
Whether to sacrifice Kansas all that has thus far

of further el.rt to maintain this as basis of still

our pathway. The first is, instant action TO SUSTAIN
OUR BRETHREs IN THE FIELD. Provisions, clothing
and supplies of all kinds imperatively required.
These duties belong to the present. We must per-
