slavery in;o Kansas, and maintain il there. -
Are you quite confident that this republican
firm Of government eau then be upheld and
preserved YOU will then yourselves liase ia
iroddced the Trojan horse. No republican
government ever has endured, with standing ar

sion to It's laws. A people who have once
learned 10 relinquish their tights, under com
pulson, will moi be hong in forgetting that lliey
ever had any. Ia extending slavery into Kan

liberties Of Tie people
Senators Of the free states, ! appeal TO you.
Believe ye The prophets know you do.-
NOu know, then, that Slavery neither works
mines aud quarres, nor POUNDS cities, nor builds
ships, nor levies armies, nor mans naves. WHY,
then, will you insist on closing up this new
Territory Of Kansas against all enriehng
streams of immigration, while yon pour into it
the urbid and poisonous waters Of African
Slaveryi Which one Of you all, whether of
Connecticut, or Of Pennsylvania, or of Illinois,
or uf Michigan, would consent thus to extiu-
guish the chief light Of civilization within the
State in which your own fortunes are cast, and
in which your own posieriiy are to live Why
will you pursue a policy so unkind, so ungen-
