than upon any other that has been presen.
ted to them for many years. II has been
thrown upon them suddenly. and without
a note Of warning. 1t is natural they should
be appalled,, on finding those who had been
sent TO the National Legislature, as guardi-
ans Of the interest Of the Freemen Of the
North, acting as the servile tools in the
hands Of the south, TO accomplish the ex-
tension of slavery. The leaders Of slaveoc-
racy in the North say that slavery cannot
get foo;hold there, but at The same time,
are trying by all the means in their power,
TO divert the thoughts Of the people from
considering what they should do 70 pre-
serve the soil to freedom. They say they
are "sorry" the Missouri Compromise was
abrogated, confess that it was "great
wrong" and done too in the name of de-
mcoracy. AT the same time they condemn
every freemen who.is opposed to the ,Orong,
and is laboring for the rightins Of the iniqui.
vt. They call them abolilionists, fusionists,
disorganizers, &c, continually appealing TO
them to stand by the party, no matter il ii
is corrupt.
We have from time to time given state
ments in the Journal from the leading men
and papers of the South, showing with what
activity the shareholders were passing with
their "chatlles" into Kansas, and that they
had solemnly resolUed to prevent freemeu
from settling there. A late number Of the
Democrat contained letter from Mr.. Chris
tian Of the Baptist mission, in Kansas, from
which it concludes the territory will be a
free one and advises the people not 10 be
alarmed. The Democrat is only following
out the dctations Of southern men and
southern institutions and acceeding TO their
wishes. 1t does not come out manfully and
condemn those traitors to their country who
voted for the breaking down of that COM
promise which forever made this territory
free 1t does no. advocate the re-estab.
ishment Of that compromise or the ele ction
of men that do. 1t confesses tile wrong,
but desires tho election of men who will
aggrayate and increase the iniquity already
commenced, tells its readers there is no
danger to be oppretended Of slavery going
into Kansas. If the democratic party de-
sire to have freedom there, why do they not
labor for its accomplishment, and show by
their works what they so zealously preach
0, democracy! o, humbugeryl
Below we give an extract from an article
by DR.. D. G. Williams, to the Jackson Ms.
sissippian, of July IL. Mr.. w. is one Of
the largest shareholders of that State and
has just returned from Kansas, where he
has been 10 locate lands for himself, He says
cali the best locations in the Territory
have already been staked out, and tie

dreds and thou sand of Stare owners from,
Tie border Slave counties IN Missouri who
hare entered into solemn pledges to protect
each other an his claim, andto keep all 40
olitionists from the Territory. There re-
mains no longer doubt but that Kansas
has already made beginning which IN
sures u sldve State. Greeley and the Alb
olitionsts may founder and futter until
they are satisfied; Kansas is now slape

in Kansas 10 a0hip out all the 16olitionists
.Oho may dare TO polute tie soil with their
incendiary feet The slave.ovners Of Vir-
gina, Kentucky, and Tennessee, by hun
dreds and thousands, will soon seek that
delightful country, and would you believe
it. Mr. Editor, Mississip'ans have already
been in the Territory, and staked out
claims in the names of men whom they have
taken along TO erect log cabin on each
pre- -empton. + Ii is reasonable to
suppose that Kansas will soon present tc
Congress her Constitution, with Slavery
clause. Then southern men will be requi
red to breast the gathering storm, as mer
who have country TO love; and they will
take pleasure in despising such traitors and
doughfaces as Benton. Houston, Bell and
their Free-Soil allies"
In confirmation of the sentiments set forth
by Mr.. Williams, the Mississippian remarks
"Our firm belief is, that the southern
people will be as true to themselves a.
