Bear in mind. Mr. President. that these are statements of the most prominent citizens of Missouri who in the presence and from the lips of these refugees have ascertained the causes of their flight. Though they reached that city in the midst of a severe snowstorm. and suffered the most extreme distress from want of provisions and shelter. yet not one word do they say about returning to their homes. Their only purpose seemed to be to get away from conditions and perils which they deem more dreadful than even starvation and the snowstorms of Kansas. to which we have heard reference.
