The KANSAS DlmcuItles.

Mr.. Geo. Park, late of Tie ParkgiHe Lu-

slavery Comes it TOO strong.

The Northern apologists for Slavery
grow restless. The agrcssions of that "pe-
culiar institution" begin to awaken and dis
turb those who found excuses, in times past,
for Texas Annexation, the Fugitive Slave
Law, and the Nebraska swindle. Even the
Albany Argus, the ready and reliable ally
of Slavery for thirty years, questions the
right of Missouri to control an election in
Kansas. It's language aud tone is quite
decided:
snow this not the kind of popular sover.
eigntv to which Democrats of the North,
in standing shoulder to shoulder with
Southern men in passing the Nebraska bill,
consented. 1t does not meet our approval.
We rcpudiate it, And We call upon South
ern men and Southern presses to speak
out and repudiate it also. An opportunity
is now offered to the South to show ;haI
to maintain national creed il is not neces-
sary that the sacrifices should all be on one
side. Northern statesmen and presses
have braved much of popular condemna-
ton in standing up boldly for national doc
trines, and for Tending the just rights Of
the South. 1t would have been much
easier for them to have floatcd with the
current than TO have stemmed it. An op-
portunity is now afforded for the exhibition
Of somewhat of the same courage and JUS
tico BY Southern men. We at least are
entitled to know, most explicitly, whether
we are to be met with the same good faith
which we have extended to our Southern
friends. We say to the South plainly and
honestly, that unless this is done, Northern
men who have stood on comomon Platform
with the South, can stand there no longer.
Northern feeling will not tolerate it."

Of the honesty OF the President, the admin

when they Join hands With Aichison and
the slavery propagandists in the effort to
carry slavery in 10 Kansas. and at the same
time denounce the Know Nothing Order,
which they say is used By him to coasum-
mate this scheme? The papers that sup
ported Atchison in repeating the time-hon-
ored Missouri compromise now say heis
Know Nothing, and is using that Order TO
impose the institution of slavery upon the
people of Kansas. We denounce the
whole scheme and the authors and abbet-
tors of it. VIII the Statesman dare say as
much? VIII the Washington Union say
that Atchiston is using the Know Nothings
in his foray upon Kansas? Do they sus-
tain him in it? Why cant we get an an

ES The Democrat Of last week tries
hard to convince its Sag NIGHTS brethren
that Atchison and his Missouri minions are
all Know Nothings. Now this assertion
may stand good among lis brethren, but
honest men will give livery little crcdence
As 10 who Atchison is, and 'Dhat he is, We
refer the Democrat 10 a telegraphic dis
patch to be found elsewhere in our paper.
The editor will there see that Mr.. Atchison
stands at the head ola laYless band of vag-
abonds, who are sworn to massacre and
crush to death all who presume to stand
en- the platform Of liberty.
1t is well known that the Sag NIGHTS par
ty was organized to counteract the anti-sla-
very sentiment; and though this may be
denied by the organs of that party, it is
nevertheless true; for the course and actions
of the party add to their conviction.
From the statements Of Mr.. Parks, late
of the Parkville Lmaiaary, it is easy 10
conclude what party assisted Atchison in
the invasion of Kansas. It was the same
party with which the Democrat labors, the
same band of banditti with whom he meets
once a week TO devise and "hatcb up" dia-
bolical means to sink freedom, and lastly,
but not least, the same party who succeed
ed in abrogating the Missouri COmprO-
mise. This party is better known by the
euphonical name of Sag NIGHTS.

Shade Trees and Flowers for tile

ScAOO2 HOUSE.
Two or three weeks ago we spoke of the
propriety Of improving our School House
Grounds. and trausplanting therein shade
trees, shrubbeIy and flowers. In the last
number of the Ohio Cu,tirator VIC find the
following communication:
MEssRs EDITORS We have been i'm
proving our district school house site, by
enlargipg it and planting trees and flowers
upon it. Some forty trees, maple. locust,
apple and cherry. A thing of SO rare an

would show that the spirit of progression is
abroad in the land. Some few indiyid-
uals in this district feeling that the com
fort and happiness of our children were too
much neglected, in not providing suitable
and proper grounds abou: the School house,
obtained one acre of land and moved our
house on to it. set out trees to adorn and
render it comfortable. And thinking that

An Abolition Lie.

The New York Tribune publishes an
extract from the ST. Louis Intelligencer, as
Southern riew Of Kansas matters. The
article purportcd to be an account of what
the .Wissoarians were proposing to do with
Nc Crea, a citizen Of Kansas, who MUIR
dered Clark. The Intelligencer says:
"a handbill was printed and circulated
all over the country, up and down the river,
calling Upon all Pro-Slavery men, all true
friends OF the South and of Slavery in
Kansas, to meet ON Thursday at Leayen-
worth City, to take into consideration the
aspect of affairs and to adopt measures of
proceeding in the present crisis. The
handful is signed by B. T. Stringfellow
and John w. Kelley. editors of the Squat
ter Sovereign, ]. Marion Alexander, and
u number of others.
B. T. Stringfellow and J. w. Kelley
are neither of them editors of the Squatter
Sovereign, and neither one of them sign
ed the above handful, nor did either of the
editors of the Squatter Sovereign. J.
Marion Alexander, is from Pennsylva-
mia, and never lived in Missouri at any
time in his life, and never lived where
negro slavery existed, till he came to Kan
SaS.
Is it not strange that Missourians will
tolerate press that will fabricate such in
famous ialsehoods as the above. We can
respect man whose prejudices are against
slavery from education, but the sneaking
lying scoundrel, who under the guise of a
| friend, stabs us in the back, as the Intelli.
gencer and others who rank themselves
with him, nothing but hemp should Be
dealt them.

An Anti Slavery Organ in Old Kentucky

The Louisville Journal comes out in a
furious TRADE against the Missouri squat
ters in Kansas, and takes sides with Gov.
Reeder, Forney, and their affiliated free
soil land spectators and abolition emigra-
ton societies. This is very strange. One
is almost persuaded that Cassius NJ. Clay
or Gerritt Smith has had Prentice by the
button hole in rliable mood. in reading
such strong anti-slavery sentiments as those
to which we refer in the Louisville Jour
nal. Lloyd Garrison, in his Llberator, if
we are not mistaken, will crow Justify over
this acquisition Of the great Kentucky poet
and journalist to the Holy Anti-slavery al
liance.-.N. !. Herald.
Old Kentucky is not alone. Missouri is
cursed with half a doscn as malignat, but
fortunately their fangs are not so long.
Prentice is powerful, for good Or evil, his
Missouri CONDUCTORS are harmless, from
iinbecility. With the Republican and 9TH
ers to guard the Wings, and the numer-
Gus Democratic papers, to look after the
morals Of the Democracy, Missouri is
fast Kidding herself of the foul blot upon
her fame.

Ajcommittee was appointed at a sub
sequent meeting of the persons engaged in
to leave the territory. In accordance with
that resolve we learn that Mr. Phillips,
Mr.. Grant and Mr.. Warren, have each
received notice to depart by given day.

lips off, but as he did not appear willing
to SO at his masters bidding, he was ar
rested by this committee, taken across the
river to weston, Mo-, his head was shaved
after which he was tarred and feathered,
rode upon rail, then an attempt was
made to force him TO sign an instrument in
writing agreeing TO expatriate himself for
ever from Kansas. He refused to comply
but as it was found an attempt at rescue
was about to be made lie WIS sci at liberty
