paragraph quoted by us from the Phila-
dsiPhia Ledger
"fhe highmindeA, enterprising and ener.
getic emgranis from New England TO Kan
sas, will appreciate the compliment paid them
by this llheller. Because they want freedom
instead Of 'lavery, they are stigmalsed as
"rowdles." but we suspect they will bear
very well comparison with chivalrous crea-
lures who follow the banner Of Davie At
Gibson, or rather tha smell Of his whiskey
bottle, into Kansas. Why, in Hea ven's
name, are the men who travelled thousands
of miles to settle the desert, entitled to less
credit than those who make but days Jour
ney, aud but days stop in the territory
Did not Kansas belong as much to NV
Epgland as to the people Of Arkanss. and
Missouri But all this is of pee with
the arrogance of the slaveholdes, aud the
subserviency Of their tool. They fancy
that all creation belongs TO the Niger inter
est, and that every white working man Is
''rowdy." The worst thing about It is,that
Pennsylvania paper should print their subter-
fuge and nonsense.

may say Of New England. Had even New
England and those who went from her Dor
dcrs, stood firmly, slavery would have been
restricted to its ancient limits. and the South
would have been as we'll satisfied as now-for
with her nothing is called accomplished until
the whole field is won. But it is useless dis
euising the fact that the people Of the North
arc deficient in personal courage. Her states
men either surrender at discretion, or 90
over to the enemy And it seems the people
love TO have it so, or they would order 9th
erwise. Cease then TO complain of the South,
She gets nothing but as you give it her.

THE PRESIDENTS VErO-We arc glad
to see that the people are beginning to under
stand the miserable policy of the Aaministra-

good Justice to the Administration in the fol
lowing article:
"MILIIONs FOR War. nrr NOT ON CENT

American people tamely submit to veto

deprives lakes OF harbors How long must
