AN APPEAL FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM.
ADDRESS OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE OF NETWORK


The State Central Committee Of the Republican
party take this occasion TO remind the Electors Of this
State Of the great interests depending upon the election
Of the Attn Of November and the importance Of imme-
date and continued effort till the election is closed.
That election is to decide whether Kansas shall be
free or whether Slavery may be imposed upon Ter
tOry BY force and fraud against the wishes OF It's peo-
ple The party of Mr.. Buchanan hold the laws which
have fastened Slavery upon Kansas to be valid; the
party of Mr. Fillmore hold the same the party of Mr..
Fremont alone hold them to be null and void because
passed by mock Legislature sitting through violence
and fraud 1t il for the electors Of the country to de-
ternine which shall prevail and upon their determi-
nation the fate Of that vast country nearly three times
as large as the State OF NewYork, depends for pc
rod of time, the end of which no man can foresee.
The Ell cton is to decide It's decide whether
Slavery shall be sectional NATIONAL whether there
shall lie right to take slaves into all the States and
to hold them in servitude In all the Territories
whether this country shall become the propaganda Of
Slavery wherever its arms can reach or its influence
extend whether the doctrine of the Ostend dispatch
sbsl be received the rule Of the Government;
whether Cuba shall be seized aud annexed, and
Nicaragua made a Slave State and annexed; whether
the elective franchise shall be preserved nvoate or
corrupted and overcome whether intimidation vlO-
lence and IDLE threats of disunion from the South
shall be stronger than Northern principle, courage
and selfrespect; whether Northern electors can be
always divided and mirled by the adroitness of party
leaders; whether the politicians or the people are mas
tiers.
The visit to Nicaragua Of Sou6, the author of the
resolution on foreign policy of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, and thereupon the establishment OF Slavery
on the Isthmus; the instructions to Geary, the new
Governor of Karsas to enforce Territorial laws which
establish and fortify Slavrey; these are but fore
shadow iDgs ofwhat is to come The prospect is surely
enough to eemen to the exerton Of every fac
uy and the use of every lawful till the election
is past.
The leaders of Mr. Buchanan's party and of Mr..
Fillmore party coalesoiIg and inducing their fol-
lowers to coaesce. Already they present the same
local tickets in several of our counties.
1t is but too evident that the hopes Of Freedom de-
pend upon the Republicans alone. Let us prove our
selves worthy of the cause and the occasion. We ask
all to Join us no cherish the fame of their country and
think that the Government which fathers founded
should not degenerate into instrument for the propa'
CATION of human servitude; all who think that pub
lie question honorably compromised should not be
wantouly reopened; all who think Slavery an evil,
and all who think Slavery good, but that it should
not be imposed by force or fraud upon an unwilling
people, They only can consistently vote against u.s.
who think Slavery great good as to justify any
means whatever for its extension.
We entreat Republicans, one and all, to labor lnces-
sanity from the present time till the close OF the election
We ask them to see that the Republican organization
is perfected in every town and school district, that
every Republican voter is brought to the polls, that
every person is challenged who offers to vote and Is
not known to be legal voter; and for the purpose oil
conce ntraton, encouragement and concert oil ACTON,
we recommend that Republican meeting be held IN
every town on the Saturday before the election Re
pubeans be firm in purpose, unceasng in effort, Vgi-
liant against fraud, and you will prevail.
