SLAVERY IN KANSAS,

The 81. Louis Pilot exnlts iercely over the Pro-
Slavery victory won BY Missouri DULLES and
bowie. knives at the Delegate election in Kansas.
1t considers the contest in that Territory decided
BIZ it snd Slavery fastened upon her forever
mainly because the Eastern States sent emi-
grants thither to prevent it Had We only offered
10 objection to SavorSs going there, it would Mt
have gone but by doing our best to stop il, We
Insured it's success. Thi, is about the average Of
Pro- Slavery logic. Hear! Hear!
4" hen the act organizing the Territory was
passed the chances, in our opinion, were greatly IN
favor of Kansas beir. free State. The reasons for
this are plain and obvious. The STAKEHOLDER is averse
TO Immigration. His property is tmid, and tbs rea.
ton itself begets ties thai do not exist in nonslava-
holding community and which sre not easily severed.
The North he's always furnished more emigrants than
the SOUTH and even in the slave States there are al
ways many who prefer to live 10 a free rather thsn
a slave state. A largo number of the settlers OF all
the western non.slavehoding States were enigrants
from slave States aud SUCH unquestorably, would
have been the result in Kansas, If the agatOrs had
remained quiet, and permitted the current Of events
10 aow on in its natural channe This did not suit
their purposes. Kansas must not only be free, but It
NUT be settled by AbOl.tionsts-negro thieves and
traitors 10 the Constitution and the laws of the land
They were not satisfied TO permit the natural tide OF
emigration TO flow, bat they mus force an unnatural
current TO that wilderness region. The con-
ert beiwo On the pGUper lgrdss hppc a. SO mHct
n had from Boston and SsriRgfeld, and the honest
squetters of Kansas involved the very life of Western
Missouri, and have doubt that hundI eds OF our
handy yeomanry have gone over and squatted IN the
Territory, that would have dreamed of leaving
the State bat for the machinatons of the ENG grant
Aid Associations. The intensity Of feeling that has
been aroused on this subject renders il almost certain
that the Pro. Slavery men will succeed 10 Masking
Kansas q slave State. II is not much sentiment
in favor Of Slavery, perhaps, as it is deestaon and
aversion for the negrophiliss aud dealers in benevo
lence and humanity that have been at work in this
business. II they had permitted natural causes to
operate without their influence, Kansas might have
been free State: That the people OF tho Territory
now viii not exclude Slavery, regard fixed
fact :"
The scoundrel who thus defames his betters
knows perfectly well that every man of these
Eastern settlers in Kansas paid his OWE money in
full for bis passage, and had more lief. on his ar
rival and instantly went 10 work to make bis
own living by his own useful labor. Had the
emigrsnts from Boston, Worcester, &c., been
accustomed to get their living out of the unpail
labor Of other mems wives aud children, there
might have been some reason in calling them
"paupers' Of certain sort; bat there are no
men in Missouri who are less like paupers"
than they are. And Jet it is by such impulent
and sSnderous tasehOods as those above quoted
that Mssourians have been incited to defrlud
ard bully the actual settlers Of Kansas on. Of
their political rights AMI impose a Pro Slavery
Delegate upon them. Tney will fnd that they
are not half through with their JOB Jet.
