Mr. Giddings complained few days ago. that the Presi-

slavery There who live keeping this
subject alive and derive all their notorety from their

its reference to the local communities interested in it, will al
ways be offence We not greatly surprised there
fore to witness the Kansas debate of yesterday We
little surprised however at of the statements and
complaints which made in it. Assuming that
Kansas has already become slave State (Which Of
is false assumption, since it is still Territory with
out legislature) several of the speakers
planned that this result had been produced by the
reference of Mssourans and Others who voted in Kansas
without any idea of becoming citizens there Where the
proef of this interference is informed, and
can imagine readily that every advocate of popular

be shown to have occurred at the late election of

large that his election could have been the result

votes out of aggregate of less than three thousand

to be attributed doubt not the acceptable character
and qualifications of the candidate elect His position
the subject of slavery that of the Nebraska BILL and this
he stated before the people He is therefore opposed

of any of their rights at the late election they will them
