The settlersof Kansas are from almost cverys
State n the ronfederacy, but chiefly from the
free States the rest are mostly Missourians
It is doabtiess known to you that the Missou-
rians have made repeated invasions Of Kansas.
When the election came Of. the FIRST one par
ticukrly,) hundreds Of wagons. loaded With
provisions, arms Of every ealibrs and name.
ammunition and barrels Of whiskey, wrre driven
to within half mile Of the polls there the in
vasi.fs encanped and such shouting, swearing,
drinking, firing, halooing, roaring. da,ning,
&C., this world never saw before. Next morn
ing they marched to the polls and gave Dem
ocratic vote. After voting they returned to
their camp. renewed their Bacchanalian orgies,
and the next day crossed over 10 Missouri
Tiis IS us true as any record in the United
States. II would require lDany sheets Of fools
cap to contain 1.-THE Of the barblrties, rob.
b"rieseand murders that have bec., committed
in Kansas. You know the Missourans have
thrown every printing press into the Missouri
river that did not hoist the negro flag. 1t is
thus you hear eeparle testimony, and nine
Fights OF that is fabrication. A majority Of
the people IN Kansas were and are for making
free State They are not Abolitionsts but
free State men. The MisSonrians, knowing
this, have had recourse to yarions expedients
The last Or dernicr resort, is to cxpcl or ostra-
else them. st
About ten days ago, the Mssourians invest
ed Leayenyorth city, the lagest town in Kan
g Gas, and gave peremptory orders to every man
in the city, whom they suspected Of free State
sentiments, to leave IN, one hour aud hall, or
die. One hundred pcaceable, orderly artzans,
merchants, &C.. we're thus compelled to leave
their houses, furniture, tools, stores, &C. to the
honesty aud mercy Of 49,. One of them had
IN his store $4,000 worth Of goods as per III
voice. Hyou have any idea Of what were the
feelings Of the Athcnans when they abandoned
! Athc IS, and Cimon took with him Only l,art
OF his houses furniturc, then You may form some
opinion Of the great calamity that fell on these
oae hundred families. They LIT their. houses
their all. Ons might have bought houses
aud lots worth thousands Of dollars for IS to
$40; might have bought wagon load Of fur
niturc. or rich and costly cloths, caSsin,er,s and
/. silks FOR $40 TO 500 From what hear, one
might have bought enough to load City Wagons
for 500 or 5000, or lcsa Many did buy
wagon loads for q mere pittapce. The great
bulk was left. have my information from
reliable sonrcc--from highly respectable Mis-
souri, merchant You will ask why this cruel
@ty ? Why this injusiice2 1t is because the
Missouriaus have heard, or they suspect the
heads of these hundred families actually ,,rc.r
living 10 free State TO that of slave State.
They are peaceable, orderly, well behaved y O.
pie; were rich, or becoming so rapidly. They
are a go-ahead people. They are not Adolf.
tionsts.
To add TO the above, the Missourians make
frequent excursions in the Territory, and they
will shoot down a free State man as soon as
they would deer, and sooner, too. Nor is
this all. They have right to oil pcrqusites
in or ont Of the cabin. Mcrciful God This
may be rice rcrsa.
A free State man was found, eight DAYS ago
murdered and scalbcd. The supposed murder r
and sealper lives in my county, (Pmtte) and
was heard TO say the day previous that he was
f, determined to have scalp. ana lie was cn
after that in the Territory aud near the d. ad
body.
