more ready 10 curail than extend it, have been IN Mis-

Aholitionism and hostility TO the South wheneverher
own sons careful of her trues interests express the hope
that Missouri, at very remote day, may be numbered
among the States that are free.
The past history of territorial emigration is the
ground upon which we affirm the probability that slaves
will be tax en- into Nebraska and Kansas. If Iowa
TO-DAY in the position of Nebraska Shareholders from Mis-
sour would go north Iowa before the Fourth of july
For the lands of Iowa well adapted produce hemp
and tobacco anything else which slaves are used to
produce portion OF Missouri with the exception OF
perhaps two counties Whatever reasons induce nd
vdua Shareholders TO retain and work Their slaves on Mis-
SOIL would induce them to plantations on
the soil of Iowa. Upon the very borders OF Nebraska
with the Missouri River only intervening slave labor Is
tie rule. And from personal inspection of portions
OF tina. Territory, affirm that STAKEHOLDER crossing
the Missouri would find profitable to work slaves
on the west as the of that river. And man who
sits down in Cambrdgepor towre that there is no pos
ble chance for slavery 60 there might as well write
that there possible chance forfarmng to be carried
on upon the bank of your own Connecticut 1t is all
sheer For the production OF hemp, tobacco
wheat ard stock Nebraska, III portions equals Mis-
souri, and there is many in Clay Platte, Holt and
Buchanan Countless right upon the Missouri River VINO
would willingly to-day sell his plantation, and pass
into the territory, and renvest in four times as much
land as he held before. The past history of territorial emil
grafton from which your correspondent has derived so
strange lesson teaches that when with their slaves
GO to the rich farming lands the Western limits OF
frontier State they will go beyond to equally valuable
lands the moment the law of the land will allow it to be
done.
