TO TIE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI.
Doforo cInsno This address the Com pItteP desire
70 submit few remarks for the special cOnsidera
ton of the people Of Missouri.
We desire it to be understood that the people
Kansas do net charge the Outrages to which they
have been subjected upon the people OF Missouri as
a body. On the contrary they know that the masses
of that people have not joined in these outrases but
have remained at home and denounced the invader.
Toward them we entertain no other feelings than
those of respect and kindness This has been album
dainty made manifest by our actions. Many tonn
IS noto standing and hriring in MSs0uri-mOnu-
mtnts Of our consideration for hom and esteem Of
their conduct. Respect for this class of the people of
Missouri has induced us sedulOusy to refrain from
retaiatOry measures. Those who have joined IN the
fOray against u.s. under the sincere impression that
Massachusetts and other Free States were import
ing votes into Kansas have been grossly deceived.
That we are friendly towards the people
Of Massachusetts and other Free States is
not surprising. BY their munfcence, We
were furnished arms to defend our homes
from plumber and destruction. When the Missouri
River and markets upon our borders were closed
against US, the poor of Kansas were clothed and fed
by their lberality. Notwithstanding this, however,
we would resist them in any attempt to despoil us
Of our franchise, as we would resist the people of
Missouri. But We deny that the people of Massa.
cbusets, or of any other Free State ever attempted
any such thing. II is doubtless true that imTedi-
atey after the election of March, 1855. many of the
peacefully disposed citizens of Kansas left the Ter
ritOry al good reason had they for doing. Kan
sas was invaded by hostile forces organized for war;
and her people ruthlessly trsmpled into the dust.
Was not this sufficient reasOnl To that portion
Of the people of Missouri whose aims fOreshad-
owed in the letter of AtcbisOn to South Carolina, ia
which be avowed his intention to again invade Kan
sas, we have these things TO say:
The interests of Kansas and Missouri are identi-
cal. A farm cannot be improved in Kansas, or
town built up, without its benefiting Missouri. A
railroad cannot be extended into Kansas from the
States without its traversDg the entire length of
Missouri. For many years Missouri must be the
market for Kansas. The people of Kansas are en-
titled TO the protection OF the same Constitution
and flag that protects the people of Missouri.
Should the people of Kansas invade your homes to
wrest your baot-bOxes from You by force, what
would be your feelings and actions? Would not all
the resentul and indignant impulses of your nature
be stirred up Would you not meet us on our Dor
der, ana WIFI Dd}Onets Ill your HhulS thrust US
back An authority to which we all defer has
said, "Do unto others as you would that others
"sbould do unto YOU" We mplore you not to at
tempt to again violate our rights. We are men
you are, and our common manhood requires that
we should resist YOU if you do. We are organized
for defense. We have the pledge of Gov. Walker
that he will the troops of the United States in
our behalf. If you persist against your best inter-
eats against all considerations of PATRIOTISM
against all manly and Christian duty-in the mad
course some would mark out tor you, uar must
enSUe prOtr0cted and LiOody, tet,ceen Kansas and
Missouri.
1t may be extended all along the line to the At
lantic Coast. A dissolved Union and a broken
Government may be the result. For the highest
welfare of Kansas and Missouri, in the name.of our
common country and the living God we appeal TO
you to refrain. Remain at home. The Kansas
estion will then be peacefully settled; the agita-
ton OF Slavery will cease and Kansas and Missouri
will 20 on prospering and TO prosper
TO THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS.
Having thus discharged the duty assigned them,
the Committee would conclude by exhortiDg all the
people Of Kansas to go to the polls on the day OF
election, in pursuance of the action of the Convcn
tioD and deposit their ballots for candidates ofther
choice. Whatever may be the result of the cleo
ton, we believe our cause will be strengthened by
such course. Very respectfully,
J. H. LANE and others, COMMITTEE.
THE ORGANIC ACT AGAIN.
Mayor Adams sent request to our little isother-
NAL Governor for supply of arms for 4 volunteer
company that had been organized in Leavenworth.
He wrote TO his little sethermal Excellency that it
impossible at times to preserve the public peace
in consequence of the absence of municipal guard.
Walker replied that he had examined the organic
act, and found nothing in it authorizing him to
provide him with arms.
