KANSAS IN CONGRESS-.

The Journal Of Com ntree is trying to coax the
Slave Power TO repudste the late ou'rages OF
lie seryitors in Kansas, and surrender the con-
troll of that Territory TO its inhabitants Ii sets
forth tie scaLdslOus Eruption OF armed Nilsson
1ians Oh the Coy Of the Legislative Election,
their seizure Of the bal!of-boxes, their utter
vitiaton of tie polls, and the consequent assem-
bling of Legislature which represented the
Missouri borderers, not the Ksnsa, settlers, by
which BODY Slavery has been legalized, the open
advocacy Of Freedom for all made felony, and
the floOdgates opened of perpetual disffancnise-
mept and .ubjugatiOn for the settlers and per-
petusl domination by the MissOurians through
The enactment Of lass filing all the Offices OF
The Territory for siz years by this mock Legisli-
ture, and allowing everybody to vote without
uroof of residence who shall have paid a tax of
a do lar and sworn allegiance to the Nebraska
Act ard the Fugitive Slave Law, while Free
Sollers, though uDdOubted citizens, are not to
vote at all. All this, The Journal argues, is SET
ding the thing entirely too steep, and is helping
the Free -SOiiers and FusiOIists az the expense
Of he paramount ascendency OF the South.
Gov Reeder is sharply blanchard not without
1essoL-for certifying the election of any OF the
Missouri bulies' candidates last Spring, and the
Nebraska Act pronounced ell right in ITSELF
though shamefuly discredited by these Migrant
abuses. Says The Journal.
There is, therefore, class of men who have so
good night TO b. indignant at the aforementioned
Cutrages as the friends of the Nebraska law. And III
point of fact we have never seen man. nor scarcely
head of o. except in Missouri and Kansas that un-
dtriook to JUSTLY them Both the DemocI ATTIC Conven
tons Of tits State have denounced them Many OF me
SOuth payes, even have declared them u Jusnhable
ard RI smeful. Why. then should they no; he rebuked
and couDterac ed by Congress live could speak TO
the pnysie ear of Southern men, honorable as we
know hem 10 be- we would AK, Why no unite WIN me
Norh in revokng whatever has been fIauiuen IN the
working Of the Nebraska law rather in the breach
Of IT, al then tai Start, giving the people OF
Konsas the privilege not only in theory but IN tact oil
choosing Il cir Legislature, and controlling their
Own afibTs We believe It will come TO this event
ualy, without Southern aid. But there would be
something noble ard 70 just in Sou hern men taking
the lead in ec irP the abuses above mentioned, that
for the fahe CT tunan nature ard the honor oil our
common country, we hope it will be done. Such an
Get Oh the part of II South would do more TO bind
the Uuon together than almos anything else that can
lie pamed. Ii would draw the eyeteetb OF the Abol-
ton STE and of Fusionists generally.
"The very fact that the 80 called Legislature OF
Kansas is composed Of men unanimously in favor OF
Slavery, while majority Of the iuhabitants-ge be-
Heve large mejOri y-are IN favor OF making ansas
Free State is OF itself conclusive proof that the people
have been ceprved Of their rights, eher by fraud or
violence both. We are for giving them fhe benefits
of the Nebraska Law, Of which they have been un-
iustly deprived What says tho South p
We will tell The Journal just what the South
will do in the premises 1t will uphold the String
fellow banditti lately convened at Shawnee Mis-
sion as legal and rghtful Legislature for Kansas,
knowing all the time it was nothing of the sort IL
will Insist that the Free Settlers of Kansas shall De
held in subjueaton to the mockery of laws passed
by that banditti though these Settlers bad no part
in choosing that body and utterly repudiate its acts
They will require that the Delegate chosen under
the authority Of that mock Legislature shall be re-
ceived By the House as the legal and true repre-
sentative Of Kansas in Congress. In short, the
South will insist on having its pound Of flesh
cut as close to the heart as possible. Slavery,
being in it's origin and essence violation OF all
right. cannot afford to be nice as to the measures
BY which it is upheld and extended. Judging from
the nature of the case, we predict that there will
not be dozen members of both Houses from all
the Slave States who will offer any determined,
effective resistance to the cOnsummation of that
drama of usurpstion, villany and outrage whereby
Kansas has been trOdden under the feet OF the
slsyeholdpg oligarchy of the Missouri border.
Now see whether our prediction or The Journals
entreaty foreshadows most nearly the develop
ments If next Winter at Washington.
