pleasure TO believe that the people of Kansas
knew what the policy OF the Government ought
to be. The entire State OF Missouri has been in
possession of the United States troops for nearly
two years. There has been no regular COnieder-
ate force in that State for nearly two years. and
vet the defenseless citizens OF Kansas are massa-
cred in scores bv guerrias from Missouri.
You have decided that there be no safety
10 Kansas except through the determination OF
the rebel citizens of those border counties of Mis-
souri. We have had officers at the head of the
Department OF Missouri who believed in a war of
determination against those bushwhackers. Gen
Curtis was in favor of il: but man clothed with

There is no such thing as Union men in the
border counties of Missouri where these bush

The people of Kansas in the last few days have
lost $4,000. 600 in property, which has gone to
Jackson, ties and Cass counties An order has
been made. to take effect on the 9th of Septem
Der next. inviting the people of those counties to
leave there for certain points Those who
loyal are ordered TO move into the principal

expires. ready with our writs of replevin to re-
cover our property. SAYS one. "the military
won't let you in" The Constitution of the
United States provided that shareholders could

Constitution we have a right to recover our
