BosToS, March %, 1856
The report of Senator Douglas Kansas affairs is
document of great ability. 1t sheds light dpon subject
about which lies have been circulated GEOGRAPHICALLY
and otherwise during the last twelve months, than il
would seem possible for the father of lies himself have
conceived Senator Douglas has well exposed the outrage
perperated by Massachusetts, legislature upon the
pie of far distant Territory in legalizing, unconsu-
cuay or at least in direct violation of the spirit of the
United States constitution bodies Of known Emi
grafton Aid Societies" go into the western wds and
use Sharpes rifles there against all who do readily
sent 10 their anaca schemes and fall in with their specu
laons in lands. The plan Of these societies orig
nay started in this city, as matter OF pecunary specu
lsou by some OF brokendown stock obbers just after
their faYore ancy the Vermont Central had been kicked
out the boards of brokers and when fancy brokerage
did yield profit enough pay the rent of their 1t
invented State street and after of ncorpora
tOn had been obtained the process of developing il
commenced the abooniss Worcester Meetings
held and handbils (slmost numerous Baltimore
lottery crcuars) posted at every street corner
nouneing that ablebodied would be taken 10 Kansas
for specified sum- and furnished with yctua drink and

England after spending nearly every dollar of the hard
earnings with which be started and thanked God for get

This mans is the experience Of hundreds And II
is for this reason that you will believe me when assure
you that the aid societies have not been increasing their
popularity within the last twelve months Witness the
late State elections in Maine and New Hampshire where
the opposition retaining the knownoihing organization
have almost let alone the anti Popery and anti foreigner
issue and bswed themselves bosrse over freedom for
Kansas and border-ruianism" With hundreds Of aac
