Of escape are more difficult, from Kansas
Why it is that more Of our friends in the
old States have not brought their slaves
with them. we are at Il loss to devise, unless
the falsehoods and threats of the Abuii
tionists have frightened them. We know
that there are thousands Of settlers in the
old States. who own number of slaves
who are working hard from year 30 year
OH poor land. without producing cent OF
profit, who could, will, half the labor in
Karsas. make Il clear yearly profit Of from
twenty five t" thirty per cent. on the cash
value Of their Whole investment. We say
to them, com, and try it; Others have
proven that it is no fiction, and Kansas
needs your aid. Good negro men will hire
out readily ut from twenty to forty dollars
per month-wo,n.n from ten tu twenty,
and girls and boys i'll proportion and yet
the cultivation of our soil will Weld even II
greater profit than that. We have good
market ut home for everything we can
raise, and it will continue 50 for all time to
come.
We purpose submitting few PROPOSE
tions for the consideration Of our friends.
First-Shoull Kansas he made Il slave

country, save the blinded Free>"ilers and
AboIitionists. admit The fact. The squat
tiers, too, have already sail three successive
times, II, the polls. that Kansas shouli he
slave State. But if AL this is no; enough,
then we say, without fear of successful con-
tradiction, that Kansas must he Il slave
State, or the Cni"n will he dlSsnlveI.-

Let Abolitiorists once control the United

Kansas is not m,,r II slave State, it requires
no sage to foreieli that. will,nut some very

Secon n!ly-Can Kansas he made slave

raised their millions of money, and sent

us from the country. yet we have l'eareahly
whipped them 1T the po.ls, and forced
them to beg for quarters in the field. and
proven to the world that truth aud justice
are on our side; and all this has been ac-
