About the loss of life the commissioners say: "Although not within our province, we may be excused for stating that, from the most reliable information that we have been able to gather, by the secret warfare of the guerrilla system, and in well-known encounters, the number of lives sacrificed in Kansas during the period mentioned probably exceeded rather than fell short of two hundred.... That the excitement in the Eastern and Southern States, in 1856, was instigated and kept up by garbled and exaggerated accounts of Kansas affairs, published in the Eastern and Southern newspapers, is true, most true; but the half of what was done by either party was never chronicled!"
He accepted gladly, and immediately began to prepare an address which probably cost him more labor than any other speech which he ever made.

We only demand that the inhabitants of the Territories shall decide the question for themselves without the interference of the government or the intermeddling of those who have no right to decide." Mr. Toombs and Senator Hale of New Hampshire seem to have been pitted squarely against each other in this great debate. In 1854, during the progress of the Kansas debate, Mr. Toombs occupied Mr.
