Esxt Monday!


.r Freemen Of Kansas, next Monday will
be N epoch in the history of the country
--then you will be called upon to decide
forever, whether Kansas shall be Free
or Slave State Need we tell you to
60 to the polls and vote {? That there will
bsa Thousand and one schemes concoeted
70 induce you to vote for the imposition,
and frauds innrmerable perpetrated to
deprive you Of your rights, you well
know. You must guard against them,
and every one Of you devote the day to
The election. This done, the victory will
surely be yours
Monday will be no day for single
man to hold back. Every voter in Kan
sAs mast show his hand upon that day.
II be is Free State, he will show it by
his vote and if he is Pro-Slavery, he
will show it in like manner. There can
be no halfway men then. That man will
be considered thousand times more hon
orable, who boldly marches up to the
polls and deposites vote in favor Of
Slavery, than he who, with Free State
professions upon his lips. sneakingly goes
up and casts Pro-Slavery vote. And
he who remains idly at home, refusing to
aid in deciding this momentous question.
for fear Of losing friends in this party or
that one, will gain friends in neither.
Wejhave said that there will be innu-
merable plans laid to steal your votes
One of these is being extensively prac-
ticed. You are daily told that thousands
Of Free State men in Southern Kansas
are going to vote for the English Bill, in
order to settle the question, and be admit
tad ss State, when they can alter the
Constitution at their pleasure. Believe
not word of it What will Free
State men, after going through blood and
carnage to secure Kansas as Free State,
now quietly walk up to the ballot box
ard vote for Slavery? Is this the man.
ner in which they viii prove their devo
ton to Freedom? As well might man
attempt to prove his temperance princi-
pies BY getting beastly drunk
You are told that Gen. Lane is going
70 vote for Lecompten /; and that he and
Pro-Slsvery man are to be elected to
the United States Senate, and the State
officers are to be Free State. We do not
believe that Gen. Lane will touch Le-
compton but even if he should turn
traitor, is that reason why you should !?
Is IL not rather an incentive to double
vigilance on your part?
The Territory is flooded with extras
and circulars, bearing mess Of trash by
one Col. IsaaeS. Pro.SlaEery man of
LeeEenwsrth, begging you to vote Cor
Lecouptea. He admits that Kansas is
bound to be Free State, and IN the same
breath implores you to vote her IN as q
Slave State Pretty argument, is it not ?
He alse announces that Gen. Calhoun has
soat che Certificates of election to him,
for the members Of the Legislature elected
aidsr the LeCampten Constitution He
takes especial pains to announce that the
Pres State candidates Of Leavenworth
County can have their Certificates by
calling upon him. This is copied by the
Pro.Slavery papers throughout the Ter
fitory. and they take particular paias to
LAY peculiar stress upon the fact that the
Erer State candidates of Lesvenwerth
County can have their certificates by call.

Agent passed through here the other day,

even writes that he has issued certificates
