SLAVERY ExTENsroN IN MISSOURI.

The Wigs of Missouri are minority IN the state;
the Anti Bentons Cor, at least have hitherto been)
minority in the Democratic party. The latter gave
votes enough for Henry S. Geyer, Wing. to elect him
TO the T. S. Senate and defeat Col Benton and there
has been good deal of fetching and carrying between
the two minorities which together form majority.
And one natural but depl1able consequence of this
has been a superficial if not real collision of the
leading Missouri Wings with Atchison d Co. in
their schemes of Slavery Extension. The Missouri
Republican, the Oldest and strongest Wing journal in
the State has given tacit but influential support to
the designs of the Slavery Propaganda on Kansas.
We trust this revolving feature of the Wing and
Anti-Benton coalition will not much longer be pre-
scented. As between Wing Delegation from Mis-
souri, voting sodly and steadily with the Slavery Ex-
tensonists and Bentonan Delegation voting against
them greatly prefer the latter-ana so, we trust
do many Missouri Wings. The following article from
their paper, second in influence of any in the State
The St. Louis Inteigencer-of the 10Th inst is timely
and significant. Had The Inteuigeneer held similar
language during the late struggle, the vote of Mis-
souri, in the House might have beens more evenly
divided. r.

him, little The Wings of Missouri from the first

They had the country fearfuy convused in by

We told by those eminent fathers of the Republic
that all questions of Slavery had been settled forever and
that by the Compromise of 1885, Slavery would and
could not again disturb society rate North and
South or jeopadze the Union All the people said amen
And again and again, all the people sad in voice of
thunder that thrilled the Republic from North 20 South
and from East 10 West " linen and AMEN!
We lived in peace and prosperity under the "Compro
" mise Measures from the day of their passage until that
il-starred hour when Franklin Pierce and Stephen A.
Douglas, bad, ambitious that they are determined to
enbro the country more in the pursuit OF their unha
lowed, sesh schemes these men proposed to repeal the
Missouri Compromise and light the fires OF heart
burning and GscOrd To do this evil deed they inserted
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise in popular mea-
sure the organization of Nebraska. The people at first
demurIed, and especially the patriotic Wings of Missouri
But they were buhed up They told: The PriRci-
Ee is just The North agrees to it, Let the Missouri
they assentcd. But how is the fact II turns out that
the North does not consent to the repeal On the contrary
the North rsenis the betrayal of their high
resolves indeed adopted threaten dissolve the
Union and break down the only bulwaik Of liberty and
republican institutions in the world.
Such is the work of Pierce and Douglas. Such the
downward road in which they leading the country.

wiser TO stop and consider whether the work of Clay in
