MISSOURI CHANGERS.
A Cordial Invitation to Settlers,

The Missouri State Grange, through commit.
tee appointed for that purpose, has issued an ad.
dress to the people Of other States East and West
and of foreign countries fatty contradiC ting the
reports which have been circulated abroad that
the Grangers OF that State oppose the immigra,
ton Of farmers, mechanics and others, to Mis-
souri,, On the contrary, they fully appreciate the
benefit of population to any State or community,
and extend most ordialinvitauon and promise
a warm welcome to all honest and worthy people
who may go there to find new homes The ad.
dress then sets forth the advantages Missouri
offers TO farmers, miners, manufacturers and
artisans and declares that the people Of that State
are honest, law abiding and tolerant, and declares
that strangers can there hold and express their
opinions upon religion politics, or any other sub.
jeCt, with perfect freedom,
