To THE PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE THE UNITED STATES
In nsequenee of the many slauderous msrepre5ena-
ndust,iousy circulated BY the chief aims Of the rebel
forces the Territory of Kansas, and especially with re-
ference the recent uIfounded allegation addressed to
the Of the United States and various Governors
the of the county Of lafayette At mass meettog
anfem bled in the city Of Lexington deeming the ex
p1+uIe Of the falsenocds incumbent upon them do
'bror Oh the ur derfigned respectfully represent to the
that there not in this county, nor do they believe
there exists in any portion Of the State organized
ee t H1nS and
pondens in all the counties to the Territory We
feel fdent such state Of affairs could no: exist
West Of JesSson 1t, (ssve those which are mounted

piece OF artillery not in the keeping Of arsenas OF the
ger a ent that excep ion may found at
dependencies brass FOUNDER captured ., the bait
Of !, s9 To e
pany as tribute to their gsllAntry In that memorable
cor fict.
We therefore pronounce the statement of c. R7bnson
j. H. Lane and Others that ga large force Of Mssourans
amply provided with artillery being organized for the
Ivasin Of Kan and the buchery Of its free State in
habl'sn's y or for any other purpose, unmtgated
falsehcod.
It will not hope, be considered improper for In
this connection to say Ieghbors deeply

Many OF have brothers and sons, legitimate set

Of our strong swimmers in their sgony"

youtcs visiting their Brethren with the hospitality they
have enjoyed have shared the dangers Of the day but
Msst mi AWAY mindu o. the constitution, though
tally interested, has hopefully avail ed the incorporation
Of the Executive for the protection OF her eigratng

aT and observance Of legislative enectmens. An aroi-
ament by the sword il her last wish she has no hope
ct tranquility which looks beyond the exiseucs Of this
glorious Union; yet IL shorn of her constitutional rights
