The WAY IT is TO BE DoNE!--A y oung
man formerly in our employ, in whose ve-
racily we have all confidence; informs US
that while at ST, Louis few days since, he
saw n number oI gangs Of slaves en- route
for Nebraska, under charge Of their owners.
This is the way in which Nebraska and
Kansas are to be made slave lerrilories.--
Their conliguity 10 the slave States Of
Missuuri and Arkansas makes il a very easy
matter for shareholders to go wuh their
slaves, while their remoteness from the
principal point Of emigrationain the north
offers obstacles to their speedy seulemen. by
northern freemen. The appointment Of
slavehoding officers for the territories will
be Immediately followed by the election Of
a slaveholding council, in each, and slavery
will be established and regulated by lerri,o-
rial law. "Squalter sovereignty" is sofully
defined and recognized Iha, The laws Of the
territories cannot 6e submitted 10 Congress
for revision, and as the las. act in the Me-
braska tragedy. slavery is established in
Nebraska and Kansas territories beyond the
hope Of eradicalion.-- Washtenaw Wing.
