The Hillsdale standard. [volume] (Hillsdale, Mich.) 1851-1909, 1857-08-25

now let me tell you that, allowing all you
claim for Gov. Walker, / say to you, as
said to him, that, in my opinion, he cannot
control his allies Frank Pierce would not
have permitted this territory to be drenched
with blood, if he had been able to control
his pro-slavery allies of Missouri.
Mr.. Perrin expressed the opinion that
Walker could manage Missouri.
FAIR ELECTION OR FIGHT.
Gen. Lane-I hope he can, but 1 do not
believe it. Let me say there is no man in
Kansas who would regret to see drop of
blood shed moro than me. No man would
go further than mo in honor-in honor, re-
member-to preserve peace than your hum
bic servant Peace is my desire; but l tell
you, sir, that it must be peace that manhood
can appreciate. 1t must be that kind of
peace which shall secure the rights undisturb-
ed of American freemen. We will not have
peace as slaves. That is the kid of peace,
Mr. Perrin, you would like % - have here.
Missouri bandits make us s'a,osy and then
you come forward and say, "Oh, preserve
the peacew Peace we want and will have,
but we will have it as freemen. (Chcers. y
If you will give us a fair election in October
and let me say here that October next is
the last limit of the patience of our people
-(cheers)-we will provide for the future
peace of Kansas, by choking the usurpation
which has been the cause of war. (Cheers.)
We must have fair election in October, or,
IN my opinion, without the agency of Jim
Lane, or any other man of the leaders, as
you call them, the people of Kansas will
have liberty by force of arms. (Cheers.)-
Give us liberty at tho ballot-box-it is all
VIC ask-but, if Missouri comes again, as she
came five times before, wo will have liberty
at the point of the bayonet. (Cheers.) No
mistake about that. Ispeak only for myself;
but l have been almost in every hamlet and
over squatter's house in Kansas, and tell
you that our chains are felt; they are cutting
into every bone; VIC will agree with Gov.
Walker to 90 into the election, in order to
strike off those chains; but, if we are not al
lowed fair election, we will strike of, even,
I. if to do 80, we must baptise them in the
: blood of our opprcssors. (Cheers.
a ANOTHER MISSOURI INVASION.
4 Mr.. Perrin has thought proper to ridicue
= the idea that Missouri will ever interfere with
j, our elections again. To rebut this ridicule
{ the general read the letter of "Paul Pry" in
/ tho Missouri Democrat containing report Of
# speech by Mr.. Able, of Atchison on the

b review of the successive invations from tho

III Tell Gov. Walker, Mr.. Perrin, that tn
- people of Kansas arc preparing to help hin

% have already heard from him, indirectly,
of expect in day or two to receive n note froi

ro- arms of the people of Kansas; and let IL
le- say, too, that if Missouri comes again, wit
