In short, the introduction of the troops
nc. cnIy has proven no protection TO our
friends, but (snd perhaps without being 50
intended) on the contrary, by preventing
cur armed organizations for self-defence,
it has so worked, as to Permit the lawless
desperaGces that infes, the country, to sep
arate into little n.arauding parties and
plumber and murder with IMMUNITY.
Il is but too evident the troops cannot en-
able our friends 10 maintain their ground
in any part OF the Territory where The Ab-
clifton element is In the ascendant: not
outstanding, we assure cur friends that.
after the most diiigent enquiry and atten-
ton to tina. point, We firmly believe that
our party has well established, decided
and increasing majority of actual settlers
in the Territory. This majority however,
we do not believe can be maintained unless
something be- done to give confidence to
our friends where they are few and weak
in7number: this can only be done by coion-
izing large settlements together, under
one common head, with absolute control.
Let, say, from one to three hundred Ag
riculturalists, Mechanics and I.aborers, so
settle together, IN some suitable point, to
be indicated By the undersigned, Oh some
other committee charged with the general
Interests OF this party. This san te law,
fully. safely and efficiently done. BY this
Imeans the Territory can be saved. and we
say this too, Notwithstanding we are in
possession of very convincing evidence to
the fact that the Abolitionists OF the North
intend. during the coming month, TO intro
duce large numbers of their hired bands,
to put their reasonable, pretended govern
ment into operation by force. These
measures of mutual defence and future
progress, however, require means, and de-
mand aid from our friends abroad. The
Colonists should be subsisted a reasonable
time, and each individual furnished with
adequate agricultural or mechanical outfit,
so there can be no want OF settlers coming
and remaining at the points where they
are most needed. Funds are required,
and for thrsetwe call upon Our Soulhtra
friends-upon all having common inter-
est, or love OF equals State Rights. OF OF
a Union based on true fraternity. Tina:
State deceives itself, that fondly trusts these
fanatics may stop at Kansas, for it Is uu-
questionabIy part of cur enemy's settled
policy, 10 use Kansas as the mere means
of Interior operations. The most convin-
cling proof (if proof were needed> OF this
was recently given before the Congress-
ionaI Investigating Committee. Judge
Mathew Walker, a Wyandott, and uni.n.
peachable witness and most leliaEle man,
testified before the Committee, that before
tie AholitIonists selected Lawrence as
their centre of operations, their leader,
Gov Robinson, attempted to get foot
hold Tor them in the Wyandott Reserve,
near the junction of the Kansas and Mis-
souri, rivers; that ia his negotiations fos
that purpose, Robinson finding ii necessary
to communicate their plans and Objects,
divulged to Walker (whon he then sup
posed sympathyzer) tina! the Abolition
isis were determined on winning Kansas
at every hazard; that then, having Mis-
souri, surrounded on three sides, they would
begin thei: assault upon her, and as fast as
one State gave way, attack another. Till the
whole South was AboliIionized. That
this revelation was actually made, the I'M
dersigned have not the slightest doubt. and
we are equally confident. that in that mat
ter, the Abolition party was truly repre-
sen.ed by Robinson, who has always been
their chief man and Acknowledged leader
in Kansas. It Us widely reported and gen.
orally believed, that the Northern Adolf.
tionists are now rising large bodies OF
armed men, under military Organization
and discipline, to be surrsp.iciously intro
duced into the Territory, for the objects of
driving out the peaceabie inhabitants, set.
