they affirmed again and again. 1t states

was intended to leave the people perfectly

and will be with us hereafter, and there

THE SNAKE AND ITS SKIN.
Let us trace the consequences like the
snake; yearly they shed their skin, but
they never 20 back into the old one; beau

of Kansas, and although it is well known,
and as history has proven, that the Repub-

of arms, you took down the judges of the
election that were appointed legally They
were taken by force, the Missouri forces

the declaration of the Cincinnati platforms
of 1852 and 1856, that the people should

them, in other words, "are you for Slave

Aiding and nbetting all this treason
The free-soil citizen from the State of
Kentucky, as we'll rs he from the free
States, who had seen, by actual expert

slave and the free States, and took up arms,
and upon every field and by the whole
power that God and nature had bestowed
upon them, they resisted this attempt to
enslaye them, What, thon, did the Presi-

armed the Republican party, and left them

( Then sprung up this John Brown.

and avowals of the democratic party that
they intended to take possession of Kan
