New-York Daily Tribune, “Kansas . . . But come what may, we can only “trust in God and keep our powder dry.” . . . American citizens have a constitutional right to bear arms and to take arms with them when they emigrate to Kansas, should they see proper. . . . Be they from the North or South, no one here questions the right of men to take the necessary steps for their own defense. . . . I suppose no sensible man would ask that a person whose dearest rights, whose property and life are menaced, should be disarmed “in order to keep the peace.”“, Sept. 1, 1856
