valious provisions has drawn the attention of
| .the whole Union. towards Kansas with refer
ence to the abrogation of the Missouri Compro-
mise. Opinions differ widely On the subject,
and we find, equally good men both for and
against the bill. We doubt not the honesty OF
| either side, nor shall we dcnounce either The
qaestion.whethes slavery shall exist OF be pro-
n-elted1s to be decided at the. ballct-box, by

Tempt to dictate to any faction. We belong to
no Clique, and shall advocate the sspeopie;s
rights and shall give our opinions freely and

more or less, and treat both sides with fairness
without hesitation. We endorse the present
