Lawrence, 10 murder men, and commit
outrages upon defenceless women and
children, at the thought of which the
soul sickens.
The eitisensoffer to submit to the laws,
but they are told by the Marshal in CON-
mand of the invading force that they are
rebels and outlaws. When Jones, the
Sheriff, elected by men of another State,
himself a non resident, a ~pro-slavery
man, was shot, Eve companies of U. S.
Troops are called out to discover and ar
rest the murderer /; but when Dow and
Barber were shot down in cold blood,
their nurderers are applauded, and no
effort made to arrest them; not even the
mockery of a trial is had.
In tie halls Of Congress, Senator Sum-
ner, the champion of freedom, was struck
senseless with a bludgeon in the hands
of a rufian slave holder, the Hon. Mr..
Brooks, Of South Carolina, and while
senseless, beaten without mercy, and
this, because in the Senate of the United
States he had denounced the outrages
and usurpations of Slavery. Southern
Senators stood around, and cowardly
and unmanly as was the attack, never
lifted a finger to the rescue. Thus, in
the capitol of the United States, mem
bers Of its highest legislative body put
their lives in peril. by daring to open
their lips against any outrages that
slavery may perpetrate.
Mr.. Herbert, a member of Congress,
assaults an Irish servant in Gadsby's
hotel, because he did not obey his COM
mands, against the directions of his
employers; shoots him, and at this time,
the murderer sits in the Halls of Con-
gress, one of the law makers of the
land.
Walkers piratical government over a
neighboring, State is recognized by the
President, and his mini, ter has present
ed his credentials and been received
Next Mr.. Pierce will send U. S. troops to
Central America, ostensibly to protect
the California passengers on the Nicar-
aqua and New Grenada routes, but re-
ally and truly to overcome the Nicarag-
VA natives, and give aid and comfort to
the usurper Walker and his flibusters.
1t needs no explanation to prove to the
satisfaction of all men, that this is anoth-
err step in the acquisition of territory for
the further spread of slavery. There
TO be no end to the grasping. v
bearing demands of the slave power; no
end to its tyranny, and outrages; no end
to the abject submission Of President and
the Democratic Party to its demands.
If it fails to accomplish its ends by
fair means, 1t scruples not to use foul
If it cannot elect its candidates in Kan
sas fairly, then it uses first fraud, ther
violence, then murder. If it cannot meet
he arguments of a free state man in
congress, il shuts his mouth by striking
him down as he sits in his chair in the
Senate Chamber.
There is great reason to fear that one
f two conclusions will o 0 be forced
lpon the citizens of the free states.--
Either they must tamely submit to
my and every demand the slave pow.
II may make, and PLACE their necks I'M
Ter its feet. as absolutely and unreserv-
as Pierce and his minions have
lone; every foot of territory belonging to
he United States be given up 10 form
lew slave states; the entire power and
patronage of the government be placed
It the control of the slave power, for all
time; or else violence must be
net by violence; blow given back for
,low, blood demanded for blood, and life
or life.
