I was waited on by Robert S.Kelley.

After paying for my papers I said to him: "I should have become a subscriber to your paper some time ago only there is one thing I do not like about it." Mr.Kelley did not know me, and asked: "What is it ?" I replied: "I do not like the spirit of violence that characterizes it." He said: "I consider all Free-soilers rogues, and they are to be treated as such." I looked him for a moment steadily in the face, and then said to him: "Well, sir, I am a Free-soiler; and I intend to vote for Kansas to be a free State." He fiercely replied: "You will not be allowed to vote." When Bro.

Elliott and myself had left the house, and were in the open air, he clutched me nervously by the arm and said: "Bro.

Butler! Bro.
Butler! You must not do such things; they will kill you!" I replied: "If they do I can not help it." Bro.

E.was now to go home.
