More slavery ExrensiOu.

Slavery must expand or die. This is the
motto of the slavery propaganda; and, they
work it out with the enthusiasm and earnest
ness of fanaticism. interchangeable, vigilant,
interruptions, crafty, and united, they never
lose the smallest opportunity to advance their
single idea, and they never falter in the pros
eeutior of any work that is to advance it,
No side issues can distract them no equivo-
cal novelties divert them from the one intense,
absorbing burning thought of their life
They have fixed their eyes like tlints, upon
one political ultimate in the United States. the
ultimate of the supremacy of slavery, and
with unrelenting, unwavering zeal, they make
that issue over ride and over-rule every con-
sideration of general policy, of patriotism, of
justice, and Of freedom. The acquisition of
Louisiana, Florida, and Texas, in addition to
the original area of slavery, instead of salts
flying, only whetted the fierce appetite OF the
slavery propaganda, so that they compelled
the general government to open successfully,
Utah, New Mexico, Kanzas, and Nebraska,
to the triumphal progress of the supreme IN
stitution of american bondage. One would
suppose that it might be possible to satisfy the
friends of this institutions but, the past fur
nishes no basis for such a supposition. All
their triumphs and acquisitions have only been
stimulants and incentives TO new endeavors.
We have scarcely become conscious OF the
Il. rooaiva1 from the
sage of the Kanzas Nebraska bill, before we
find that the Mede is once more at our gate
the slavery propaganda are ready to spring
new mine upon us.
Near the close of last session of Congress,
Robert johnson, Senator from Arkansas,
quietly reported bill for the organization oil
a new territory to be called Neosho, between
the saith and S7th degrees Of latitude; and, the
9th and Tooth of longitude, and comprising
a territory of 43, OO0. 900 ofacres. This coun-
try lies between the Red river of Louisiana
and the Southern boundary of Kanzas; and,
if Mr.. Johnson's bill passes 1t 'oiH be impossf-
Die to establish freedom as the foltty Of Neosho
even If" squatter sovereignty should 50 will
it. This bill was made the special order for
the 10th of this month. Shall it passs Will
Congress dare, in the face of the unequivocal
temper of the North, as indicated by the re-
cent elections, to pass it, Shall another out
post of slavery be established, before the GEN.
trail despotism of so called democracy is whipt
into contemptuous retirement
Johnson's bill which. recollect, will be
reached in about week /; and, which judg-
ing from precedent and analogy will be pass
ed, proposes to organize the territory of Chelo-
kee including the country held by the Chero-
KEGS of Muskogee, or the Creek and Semi
mole district and, of Chahta, including the
cessions 10 the Choctaws and Chickasaws-
three territories to be controlled, as at present,
by the Indians themselves, while the payment
of salaries and, other civil expenses, is made
a burden upon the treasury of the United
States.
The second section of the bill provides that
nothing g in the act contained shall be so con-
strued as to abrogate, change, alter, or impair
the constitution or laws, or the customs or
usages Aaring the toyce Of lac, of either of said
nations of Indians"
The twelfth section of the bill provides that
no white men or, other Indians, shall be al
lowed to settle or trespass upon lands east Of
the Tooth parallel of west longitude, ,cithost
the consent Of the Legislature Of the proper ter-
ritory And the seventeenth section provides
that g SO much ofthe nOao-eristing laacs Of the
State Of Arkansas, as defines ana. fires the pun
ishment Of offences aohich, By such sGOs amount
to felony" are extended over each of said ter
ritories, besides the United States laws regu
lsdng trade and intercourse; with the fugitive
.edicts of 1898 and 1850.
Now, this bill is framed expressly to sus-
tain slavery and to keep Northern settlers
from the soil of Neosho. The Indian tribes
alluded to are bitter, blinded shareholders,
whose intensity of tyranny is only equalled by
the intensity of their general ignorance and
theological biggotry. The customs therefore,
that Mr.. johnson would invest with the sane
tity's of law is slavery /; the jealous supervi-
sion proposed to be exercised upon the immi-
grafton to that territory is for the purpose of
excluding Yankees.
Here is bill, then, which shuts up the
beautiful lands OF Neosho against the freemea
Of the North; while it insultingly compels
him to pay for the functionaries who, under
the authority of Indian, pro slavery prescrip-
ton, are to jealously drive him back from
that territory, if he dares to enter it. Here is
the principle of the Missouri compact applied
in favor of slavery, and carried out against
freedom while that compact was torn into
shreds and scattered to the winds, when free
dom placed it between slavery and Kanzas.-
We ask again, shall it pass Is there to be
no limit to the submission of the North Is
there to be no check to the arrogance of the
Souths
