Another Effort for Peace.


In reading the annals Of the War of l776'
ones blood sometimes rises, impatient that
our fathers so long endured the wrongs they
did, and that they so often begged Tor achange
of policy-so often altered their ,actics-yet
never surrendered that grind prine'ph ot op-
po,i,ion 10 oppression. Much as they loved
Liberty, they exhausted every means of accom-
mediation (save ahicct suhmssion) before aP-
healing ito arms and :, the God Of hosts.
The ac-ressions of England upon her Colo
nies, were IN no wise so grievous, or so con-
,rary to the genius of her institutions, as are
those Of the Slave Power upon the People of
Kansas at this day. The history OF the poiiti-
cal and social wrongs-reachng unto murder,
and the murderers the recipients Of Executive
fayors-wilI read strangely in the ewes of the
o.., generation, unless the Slave Power TIL
vmshs. and "Iiber'y" becomes prescribed
word in America as il is in Poland ana IN
Spain. Yet the people Of Kansas have never
resisted, unlawfuiv. the L. s. authority, al
though they have defed and ccmbaied the bo-
gus rule of the Missouri mob.

and .er If then ,rouH ensure unto them the ~
o,o,,ised fair eleeiion, which is all they want TO

made:
Whcren, il is Of the most vital Importance
70 the people of Kansas that the Territorial
(,yernment should be controlled by the bona
fde citizens thereof. and Dhersns. Governor
Walker has repeatedly pledged himself that
the p,opLe of Kansas shouH hare q fuHand fur

lit will te seen that the Border Ruffian
authority is nowhere acknowledged, but the
Topeka constitution is recognized as the
choice of the real settlers of Kansas.
Here is another opportunity for Buchanan
and Walker TO settle the difficulty ainicabiy
