And when. propagandist colonization of Kansas had beenthns under- • taken in oho section of the Union, for the ' systematic Prorbotion of its peculiar view. of pol icy , there ensued, as a matter of course, a counteraction with opposite views, in oth. er.sections of the Union.

The number and gravfty of the ado of violence have boon magnified; partly by statements' entirely untrue, and partly by reiterated .
