all over the navigable rivers and all the railways of Missouri

密苏里州的所有河上航道和所有铁路
to obstruct those who pass from the free States into Kansas.

阻碍那些要从自由州进入堪萨斯州的人们
Violence overhangs the frontiers of that territory

暴力笼罩着堪萨斯州的边境
like a storm cloud

如一朵乌云
charged with hail and lightening.

即将暴雨如注电闪雷鸣
Violence has carried election after election in that territory.

暴力在那片土地上伴随着一届又一届选举
In short, violence is the order of the day.

简言之暴力无处不在
The north is to be pushed to the wall by it,

北方会被逼得走投无路
and this plot will succeed if the people of the free states

如果自由州的人们无动于衷
are as apathetic as the slaveholders are insolent."

而奴隶主又野蛮无理事态就会如此"
It was news of the beating of Sumner on the floor of the Senate

显然萨姆纳在参议院被打
that pparently made John Brown snap

让约翰·布朗气愤异常
