arms for their defence. IL has been sup
posed by many that they were furnished
by the society. But this is a mistake
When these facts were made known, the
people found no lack of individual
friends.
Gen. Pomeroy will state to you the
events that have occurred since that time;
and here, where he has been so long
known, his statements will need no en-
dorsement. think you will be con-
vinced that the people have been pru-
dent and forHearing in the extreme. and
have been careful not to put themselves
in the wrong. At the same time their
bravery entities them 20 our sympathy
and confidence. They have not dis
graeed themselves either by doing wrong
to others or by cowardice. and they will
not do so.
These outrages are not to be charged
upon the whole people of Missouri
Their most respectable, moral and tenn
perate people have always disapproved
of them. Many have protested against
them in manly and honorable language,
and strong and growing indignation
has been excited in'that State against the
perpetrators. l believe the people of the
State will arouse themselves and wipe off
the stain that now rests upon the State,
and avert the calamities that must other
wise be brought upon them.
Our emisrants are rightful settlers and
have injured no one am satisfied that
the great mass of all the actual settlers
desire Kansas to be free State, and that
it will be such. But it cannot. and will
not, be that Missouri will give law to
Kansas. Ii the Territory is again inya-
ded, public sentiment will not demand of
the people any further forbearance nor
will it expect them to submit to the die
tales of Legislative body elected by
fraud and violence, and enacting laws
whose object is to oppress and Insult
them, and to trample upon those rights
which we all hold sacred.
KANSAS EMIGRATION AID soCIETy-sALE
OF VALUABLE NEGROES.
We saw Major jeff. Buford in our city
yesterday. We understand he has with
him the negroes proposed to be sold for
the patriotic purpose of carrying emf
grants to Kansas. The negroes will be
sold Monday, and the proceeds will be
religiously applied 10 the carrying COM
pany OF people to the Territory. Had
we few more such determined, liberal
men to step forward in the cause, the
friends OF the South, af Kaasas. and the
bordering counties of Missouri, would
soon be relieved of all anxiety for The no.
bic cause in which they are laboring
Maj. Buford is making great sacrifice
he is actuated by no selfish motive. He
embarks an ample fortune-breaks up
the endearments and associations oI
home-leaves a State in which he has
been highly appreciated and honored,
and embarks on, if not a hazardous, at
least a prohtless and troublesome enter
prise, to do his mite to secure the vita
interests of this section, which all of us
agree are to be materially affected by the
character of the institutions that may
prevail in Kansas. We hope, therefore.
that he will notmeet with ingratitudea and
GOODNESS, but with the warmest sympathy
and most earnest assistance of those who
are able to contribute to the cause"
