Description
The Nigger Movement - The Lexington Express of this State, says rather lugubriously:
“The movement of Nigger is Southward, and has been so since the very sound National made Kansas hopelessly Democratic instead of slavery. Every day this fact is the better proven.
There is scarcely a county in this part of the State that has not its slave buyer; and what is more, they are purchasing quite largely for the Southern market.
Just the other day, Mr. White, a trader, shipped no less than 40 slaves on the Asa Wilgus (a steam boat) and he did not, we understand, take with him all he had purchased in this market during the last few weeks.
This it is that is yearly decreasing our adult slave population. On Tuesday last, Gen. Dorris, of Platte County, passed through this city bound Southward, with nearly 100 hundred slaves. We did not understand whether they were for sale below, or whether the General designed working them himself at the South. It is immaterial so long as the fact is that we lose the negroes.”Date(s) of Creation
