.Prior - to August 16, 1855, there Was prop
.
-erly.speaking no Free State party organized
in Atchison county—perhaps not in the
.Territory of •Kansas:' l . Free voters did-not
know - their -owrkstrength, and-ail were di-s
-posed.,to-be prudensome - were timid.—
Here in Atchison county we were determined
that if the-Border Ruffians were - .reSolved to
drive 'matters to a bfOody issue, the responsi
-biliiy of doing. so:should rest wholly with.
Ahemselves. There'-are'-many - Free Sollars.
*".in This county; - brave men, who have no eon
,
seientious scruples to hinder, them from arm
ing themselves and : preparing to repel' force
by forte. , The Border Ruffians.' sought, by
a system of terrorism, so-to' intimidate - Free,
Soilers as them from : organizing a
Free State Parts•;'Or even discussing the sub-

jest of slavery and freedom in: Kansas... They
-carried this to such extent .of outragegus vio
lence that - it came-to be currently reporteci
th4t it was as much as .a man's life was worth
in the - town of Atchison;
. to say . —" I am .a
Free Soi ler." .
We deprecated violence ; and wished a
'peaceful discussion Of the subject. It ,was
thereforeanost fitting that a man whose prO 7
. fession t forbade him 'to go armed should put to
the test of actual experiment Whether, an
° American citizen of blameless life could he
. permitted to , enjoy the right of free 'speech—
.the privilege of . expressing vicw.s favorable to
- Making Kansas a free State--such views be
inn, uttered without any• thing of angry and
abUsiie or insulting language. It was fur
this .purpose the above ‘surds; were spoken
and which has been the c' use of all my troub
les in Atchison:. •
If the Bordettlioffians ha] permitted me
to depart in peace •:they would - have been
without the shadow -of.an excuse. to rnitioilte
its atrocity. But, whatever might have Ceeti
the r:result,..l had counted the cost and was
prepared to abidu the issue. • -
'lf there. is any class of 'Men t hat stand 'be
hind the curtains and pullthe wires, we would
respectfully represent to them that it will do
no good to urge these understrappers on to
these deeds of siolence and ruffianism. . We
are not of 'a z class of Aen' to utter childish
complaints at any wrongs that . we'may suf
fer, but we knot.ourrights and we -intend to

In conclusion we would sugeiest to South
Carolina that she had better send fur her.em;
igrants home again.. They will do her cause
more harm than good. 'however, • this way
of doing work may. do among the field hands

must say something of a' gerierW character,:

Bot not content. with this poor menace.
which we have been twice tolii %vas " nitias

ignorance of his own position--unable to see
.himself as others see - flint—or with an etTron-•
tery which even his- lite- head ought not to

who resist his sectiottati•vn, the very epithet
Whieh designates himself: . •

Slavery and, tiot.Freedom was sectional, he
arraigns, as sectional. ills will. not do. .It
involvesi - too great a perverson of terms.- I
tell that Senator that ,: k t is to - himself and to
the " organization" of which lie is - the coin
miffed advOcate," that this epithet belongs.
I now fasten_ it upon them. -For. myself, I
care little for names; but since the question
inns been raised here, I affirm that the Repub
lican party of the Union is in no just sense
sectional;, :but more, than any other party
national . ; and that it now goes forth- to dis - -

Maddest. zealots. • -
To the charge of fanitticism I also reply.—
