twice submitted to the Senate and a. often kicked
out BY the Pro- Slavery majority on frivolous pre-
text Of rregulsriry and lack Of due suthen'lea''on
Their Senators and Representatives nave a''en'ea
at the doors Of either House, buthave not been sd
nitted TO seats. The people Of Kansas, ana pre-
eminently tho.e of Lawrence desire no'hlng else
so much "a TO be admitted into our Federal Ualon,
and made equal sharers in its responsibilities aad
bl, ,ssines. They are careful, industrious, orderly
moral. law sbiding, God fearing men, who ask only
n be nermited TO earn their bread by honest labor
and rear their children to habits Of temperance and
frueality, and in the ways Of intelligence virtue
and peace.
Why, then, is there mastering Of bsttallOn' from
Missouri and Alabama, from South Carolina aud
Ceoroia. in the few Pro-Sayery villages of that
.nscious ard lovely land Why are peaceful
travellers wsylai and arrested on their way up and
down the Missouri Why are cases OF merchandise
.topped and broken open on their arrival at the
border towns Why are Federal cannon and
State muskets and rifles pushed into the hands OF
the invaders whose feet are swift to shed blood
Why sits the New. England mother pale and
,ci,ated in her prairie cabin among her little oand
of children fearing in every noise the death shot ot
the absent husband and father, and fearing that
the opening of the door may reveal to her MS
maDgled, CORY corpse
Who does no. know that 1t is Slavery and
nothing but Slavery, which has brought all this
horror upon Kansas-Slavey seeking to force
itself upon her, first BY gigantic fraud at the pols
next by the most internal enact nents through q
bogus Legislature; and st last by butchery and
arson in the settlers homes Twist it and var
ui,h is as the apologists and accomphces ot tne
giant crime Of our age may seek to DO, 1t stll re-
mains snauestionable that Slavery is the sole and
sbsolute cause of all the trouble which has arisen
in Kansas and all the calamity which now threatens
her 1t was Slavery which pushed over the Mis-
sourisns In bricades to debaucb and subvert all the
Territorial Elections yet held in Kansas 1t was
Slavery which drove the upright judges OF elec-
tions from the several polls, so as to allow the
nyaderso vote by platoons without taking the oatn
of residence. 1t was Slavery which pitched in'o
the Kansas Legislature those pretended members
whom Gov. Reeder bad uI seated as returned by
manifest and upouestionable fraud, turning out at
one stroke all the true members subsequently
elected in their stead 1t was Slavery which ex'
tended the laws of Missouri over Kansas, and de-
nounced the penalties of felony and treason against
adv further resstar ce thereto, or even discussion
of the rghtfune,s of its pretensions. And it Is
Slavery which is now mastering its forces 70
"crush out" the last murmur OF resistance 10
those ferocious and usurping enactrnent' or wipe
Lawrence and her inhabitants from of the face OF
the earth.
How much longer shall party sorcery and the
ability of the Slave Power to make or mar the
fortunes of National aspirants to the Presi'
6ency, seal mems underst ,ndings to living con-
,ciousness of these facts
