Let the patriotic people Of the North at once
subscribe the requisite capital in properly
lied settlement companies, and secure the right
.mierants to proceed to Kansas at the earliest mo-
nent. and there will be no attack. We have
recorded experiment in this very case, which, adj

ory. Tie first siege OF Lawrence settles il that
the ruians will no; fight without the odds strong
IL in their favor. Much "a they wish TO do il,
there il no chance OF their exterminating Law
renee before the Spring opens; and II, with that
opening, a strong reinforcement of men and means
pours in discretion will assuredly be the part OF
their yalor. Since Lawrence cuuld not at the
first attack be frightened either to yield or fly,
tie only hope OF Atchson is that the emigratns

time 70 subdue the stronghold Of Freedom by
more powerful raid before it grows stronger. He

years past have been ready TO sacrifice things dearer

by which civil war can be a'erted will they not

prevention That o sufficiently large and we'll

vent another serious attack, and that it cannot be
Organized before it will be too late, no sane man
will pretend. A public sentiment up TO the crisis
will do the work easily water runs over Mag
ara Falls The moral power Of the very attempt
will prolong the opportunity. Therefore let us
leave off looking for Jupiter, at Washington or
elsewhere and give the strength of million Shout
ders at once TO the wheel.
To drop oil figures but those Of arithmetic, let
the people be called together at once to organize
companies and raise funds which shall be invested
in all such public improvements in Kansas as are
necessary to attract the best class of emigrants,
and let tbesc funds foot up 10 the amount of an r.
fttual calling, and that -bamsk the election Of
the people Of Kansas forever sure. II miilOnaires
