Description
Slaves in Kansas - - Within a month past there has been a large accession to the slave population of Kansas. In this immediate neighborhood several newcomers have settled, and in most instances brought several slaves with them. This is what we like to see; they cannot be brought into the territories in too large numbers, for our rich hemp lands will give sufficient employment to the slave and remunerate the owner.
Come on with your slaves - our rich lands invite settlers from all sections of the South. - Squatter SovereignDate(s) of Creation
