Hon. David n. Atchison and Civil War.
We make the following extracts from let
ter recently written by this gentleman to gen.
tlemen in the South, which we find published
in the Charleston Mercury:
Let your young men come forth to Missouri
and Kansas Let them come well armed, with
money enough to support them for twelve months
and determined TO see this thing out. One hun.
dred true men will be an acquisition. The more
the better. do not see how we are to avoid civil
war. Come it will Twelve months will not
elapse before war, civil war of the fercest kind
will be upon US. We are arming and preparing for
it. Indeed, we of the border counties are pre-

as they can be raised, wen armed. We want mono
but true men. Yours truly,
DR.. ATCHISoN.

Kansas and Missouri have the same latitude, eli
mate, and soil, and should have the same insttu-
tons. The peace and prosperity of both depend
on it, Kansas must have slave institutions, or Mis-
so mi must have free institutions the inter-
est the border "Ruffians" take in Kansas affairs.
