how far the abuse the praise of such paper will

'1A coMroRr.-The excitable material composing
the abolition brotherhood has been subjected great
of anxiety of late by the statement of the New ork Tribune
that the slave power in Missouri and Arkansas orgsn
grants Aid Society for aboitionizing Kansas Territory
From the thireth day of May lasthe day upon which
the Nebraska Kansas bill received the appreciation of the x
ecutveup till the present time the Tribune has
the policy of abotionizing Kansas by of Emgran
Aid Society Strenuous efforts have been made send
ward sufficient number of persons with abolition sentiments
to carry the first election the upposton that the fate
of Kansas, for freedom for slavery would thereby be
decided As incentive to increased activity, the Tribune
has continued ply the peculiar friends of freedom with
distressing stories about hordes Of Missouri shareholders
solving step into Kansas upon the day Of election
elect legislature for the people of that Territory which will
sten slavery upon them and in short have things a their
way The election of delegate to Congress,
which resulted the choice of General Joseph W. Whit
field declares have been carried in that manner, and
deprecatngly remarks that that which the slavehoders
have done they may and possibly will do again. when
the struggle the election Of delegates terrific
rial legislature shall take place and for this no
edy.'
"Poor abolitionism what dilemma, to be sure. You
aborng for six months and have freely expended
your MEANS aboonize the Territory Of Kansas you pro-
ected the great Massachusetts Emigrsnts Aid Society
| carry out this object and all to purpose
whether the Tribune has given correct
information of the state Of affairs in Kansas Perhaps your
ebony goddess of liberty has been driven from the
domain of kansasat least has received outrage from
those piratica Mssourians.
Whatever the Tribune may say against the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise the great principle Of individual
sovereignty established by the Nebraska Kansas BILL the
ganizaon of the government of these two Territories has
given advantage TO the South that which
the North may enjoy The privilege to settle in these
Territories is enjoyed by each equally, and far
j we informed, impediment has been thrown into
the way of any class Of emigrants, We heard great
deal said first about armed bands of Missourans going
Kansas and threatening the lives Of emigsnt
suspected of hostility to the institutions of their State

RACES which it said would be pracsed upon the meek
disciples of the ebony goddess who their way h
Rutd nf ind nf than
by the Massachusetts Emigrants Aid Society
been expelled from the Territory had their precious lives
terminated by the violence Of these awless Missouri planters
i We have yet hear of single instance. And now,
that foolish and dishonest trick has been exposed, the
/ Tribune in its fertile imagination, has conjured up
other, and what seems TO be regarded as more
odous species of tyranny the part of the slave power
in Missourithe interference Of nonresidents with the
franchise privileges of actual settlers From the hue and
by the anti Nebraska journals throughout the country
following the loud denuncations of the Tribune natural
supposed that they would not to nvo
late that odous fundamental principle Of the Nebraska In
sovereignty of the squatter But how very shall
low their hypocrisy Even when attempt is made hey
conjure up in their distempered magnations the ghost ola
possibility and straghtway commence frantic whine Over
alleged abuses pracsed by the 'awess pratcal Missouri
ans The Whitfield is referred evidence
the and the Tribune logically concludes that there
have been interference the part Of Mssourians
effect his election, from the fact that tho journals in that
rejoice the result And upon such the
| ing process is completed:
" TIMELY AIp.-The Glasgow Times says that one hun.
dred lately left Saline county No. for Kansas and
were in that Territory IN feto look er c election dele

Upon which the Tribune remarks: 1T thus that the
bona tide settlers of Kansas have been voted down. Beau

wrong in this I? Had not these Missourans good right
GO there Penns vanans New Workers. the citizens
of any other Stae No will deny that they had and
presume it will be granted also that they had the right

We have not the patience pursue this subject any
word of comfort to the frantic abolition in oarmd
and endeavor to persuade them that there bam in

the fertility of their maginations.
The ptimaton the Tribune that Mssourians arc al
lowed into Kansas and without possessing
actual bona ds residence there admitted full partcpa
on the election ordered from time time by the governor
carries with it charge OF gross neglect ofduty, in which
Governor Reoder with every other unconary Of the s
