GIVE copy the following paragraph
from the Washington Sentinel, one Of the
most jealous advocates Of slavery, in the
South:
POPULATION OF KANSAS. The ST. Joseph
Gazette, Democratic paper published on
the western line OF Missouri, says:
"Emigran,s are pouring into Kansas
Many Of them, we learn, are from free
Safes. Missouriars are wide awake /;
scores OF them are gone and are still going
are'eoing in from Arkansas and Tennessee.
Most of those who are settling in Kansas
from the western free States, such as lndi-
ana and Illinois, are in favor OF making
Kansas a slave State. Kentucky TOO is
turning on, her due proportion OF emisran,s
for Kansas, all Of whom are in favor OF max
ing Il slave State. We think there Is Dat
Etile doubt thar Kansa, triH be slare State,
while we believe Nebraska will be iree."
