not well be spared from our National
Legislature.

votes for the Senate, promised the Con

TIE PoLlcY FOR KANsAs.-The Presi'
dent, knowing the poor condition Of the
people of Kansas. made no requisition
upon her for troops. However. the State
authorities rendered two regiments. which
have been accepted, upon condition that
they remain here, for home defence.
This is the true policy. Kansas has
many good 6ghting men. who would
willingly march to the defence OF the
Government; but We are yet numerically
weak, and. there being more than enough
troops in the older States to aid the Co.
vernment, ours should remain at home.
for the protection Of our own State. Let
smicable relations be maintained with
Missouri, until she provokes . different
course. But companies should be Or
ganized and equipped in every ,commu-
nifty. There is no telling how sooa their
services may be needed. Let NJ attend
to our own affairs until our rights are
upon-then strike hard and
fast.
