authority of this body by the residents Of
Kansas IS as preposterous an idea as il
would be pusillanimous In conduct. The
citizens of the Territory should bid De.

perpetrated by the Missouri mob to gain
even momentary foothold through the
farce of pretended legislation. Let this
proceeding be backed by volunteers from
the North who are determined that the
cohorts of Slavery shall not conquer Free
Territory, and the repulse and extinction
of the Atchison crew would be effectual.
Yet another way is the manifestation of
an unfinching determination in the North
that under no circumstances whatever shall
Kansas be admitted as Slave State

This is certainly the queerest production
we have seen for an age. His great re-
lance for making Kansas an abolition hole
is in Revolvers and Bowie knives but winds
up by saying there is only one thing that
will prevent this plan from being complete
ly successful. and that is the cowGrdice Of
those he expects TO use them. This is an
obstacle to be sure, and will tax his POOR
hope next week to find In the Tribune some
substitute for courage, In the use OF RcvOl-
vers and Knives. If no one bur Atoii-
t;onists are sent here to trighfon the peOPie
of Kansas into submission we think, the
Tribune maniac will have TO devise some
more feasible plan. His first notion is the
most sensible and that is to starye Uncle
Sam into submission. It is certainly the
least dangerous. His Bowie Knife pro-
ject might get some ofhis friends into trou-
bic. We have seen peop'c hurt with such
things. But seriously, it is time the South
was waking up. When a paper with
100000 subscribers can utter unrebuked
such sentiments the South should be taking
measures for her protection, should be mo-
wing into Kansas, and ready for the fray
when il commences.
