KANSAS AND THE ANTI-SLAvERY SOCIETIES.
The abolitionists and the Seward anti-slavery
organs are in distressing state of tribulation
concerning the defeat Of the anti-slavery party
in the recent election in the Territory Of Kansas,
of their nominee for delegate to Congress. 1t

been elected, by an overwhelming majority,
over Flenniken (anti. slavery, and hence the
modification of the anti-slavery societies and
their journals.
This is certainly bad show for the free soil
emigration companies, and all their vain glori-
GUS boastings of the last six months. What
with the organization of emigration companies,
collecting funds, delivering lectures, and de-
spatching emigrants, the general impression
was that Kansas would become the very head
quarters of anti-slavery squatters and free soil
principles before Christmas. But $ appears
that the other side, without ass or buster,
have been quietly throwing in their settlers,
while the Tree sellers have been wasting their
time in general outside Boosting and blowing,
and profitless agitation. Now they are warned
that, as the question for Kansas has to be set

and to send them where they will have to
work, like other people, for an honest living.
We think the air and climate Of Kansas would
do them good. Hard work in building cabins,
making fences, and filling the soil, would doubt
