of Il lpmsn heart aroused and large bodies of
arm cd men both SIDES enlisted to do as much ioury
as possible TO EACH We 90 for peace nov, as
hoI cradle and Just which men can do to promote tho
peace aLo harmony of the country. We may be
oblc ed for time to submit tO the brute force of the
Slave Power enforced by United States muske,s; but
this csnnot last always The country fsst settling
up wuh Free-Stafe emigrants. Our public highways

Tie decision of Thu question has - be made by the
actual settlers at some future time and they ought to
be here On ella III watching and working till the time
cones II a Pc Slavery constitution were submitted
10 vote of the people to-day ii would be defeated four
TO one. Ard this disparity will never be less. The
reasons obvious.
Fast. The Prostate emigration, which amounts
TO hundreds Of thousands yearly, is now turned into
| Kansas and will fill it in two or three years.
| Second There is very little emigration from the
fro mere safety for their properly and more congenla
society in Missouri than here
| Third: They will fod land there, ton. equally as
| &c cd and not more than tenth Of the price.
FOu,h Ve,y many of the settlers Of Kansas ere
from Missouri and 9th Slave States and very large
majority of them in favor OF MAXIM kansas Free
State This class of emigrents is leaving Missouri AMI
comI to Ka continually Their reasons are sui
fc,ent TO e. nvince any reasonable man that Slavery
will never flourish here. We will now be Missouri
bet friend and customer if she will perInit II, or We
will be her worst eremy if che forces us into taat pos

II is for the interest of Missouri that population
con as there TO trade with her merchants. Ii is for the
nerest Of Nj, souri, TO keep the peace and make 1t safe
for al classes of peaceable citizens to visit her when
tb peae and return when they please. II Is for the
nfe EFT Of Missouri 10 fro uoon the ambitious leaders
f mobs so a. to make persons and property equally
safe in Missouri and Kan-as.
