very from Kansas while Territory, told them the ef
feet Of would be TO open Kansas TO slavery and sla
very would go there They said II was no such thing
s-tt was stNider npon them Tor they We're As much
opposed to slavery A. any was an abolition lie
slavery woai1 snererfso there, and the Missouri
Compronise was netFepealed for any such purpose.
This the profession. elCres Of true true What
did say farthers We said slavery would be iasso
daced and when slavery goeinso the Territory it send
be di6cut to gesit out. This they denied What has
been the practical efects The moment the Missouri
Compsomise was repealed slavery did 60 into Ksnsas
Iii sthere to-day. That's the truth, which cannot
be denied Afer slavery got there, did the people
have the right to exclude ?dd the people have the
right to do anythngf You are too familiar with the
