What Are Our Legislature Doing for
Kansas 2

Every papor brings us new accounts OF
accumulaling distress and suffering in
Kansas. Why don't our Stale Legislature
at once do something TO relieve the people
n their extremity there +? II they would
manifest The same alacrity in alleyiating
the wants Of the subjects Of starving
wretchedness in Kansas, that they did in
gratifying themselves last WINTER in treat
TO Jolly time, large proportion at least,
long ere this, would have been placed be.
yond the reach OF the horrors OF this
gaunt famine that is preying upon them
al this time. ..
Though the matter is apparently hushed
for the time being, yet they will find,
whenever they call upon the people again
for their sufTrages that II is laid up against
them, and will be most eiFectual veto
upon a reelection, unless by some means
they succeed in wiping out the stain oi
that transaction.
Now, | propose 10 them way by
which il can be done. as far as | am con-
cerned, and | think their constituents in
general will allow the same act to re.
instale them again in their favor. 1t is
this: Az once, speedily, without any de-
lay. put their fugers into their own
pockets, and take out the same amount,
five thousand dollars Tor the benefit oI
Kansas, that they took out Of our pockets
so unceremoniously, last winter, for their
own qualification. We paid them for
their time, during the froic, which should
have been devoted to our service but let
that pass. And. after doing their own
individual duty, vote a liberal appropri-
alton, and this last well pay cheerfully.
