THE KANSAS OUTRAGE.

The following extracts, for the collection of
which we are indebted to the Portland En-
quircr, exhibits pretty full expose of the
late fagitious outrage on the liberties of Kan
sas, upon which, the Editor of that paper
well remarks.
This must be met at the North by Bunk
CT Hill spirit or all is lost. Kansas seems
destined to be the Thermopylse of ourgcount-
ry's destiny. There .he hattIs pnst ybe fought,
upon the issire of which the life or death of
the Republic looks likely to turn. We can
conquer-wILL we? But to the insulting,
lawless, monstrous facts AS preparatory
the Kansas Pioneer said -
ave would not like to see the Governor
dangling in the air by the neck-he will soon
be dead, dead, dead, without that-merely
because we consider him fair specimen of
Eastern chivalry, and fair sample of Free
Soiler; but if he is an Abolitionist at heart
and in action, and would abet in running off
darkies into Canada, it might be well enough
to place the moose around his neck, by way of
experiment, if it were only to hear him cough
and see him make prftty faces" :
The jackson Mississippian of March Goth,
said -
1--WE are glad to see that the people of
Missouri are beginning to organize counter
movements to the Northern Abolition Aid
Societies, established to throw an ant-savery
population into the Territory Of Kansas. We
have before us the proceedings of a meetivg
at Lexington, Missouri, on the 10Th, at which
the following resolutions were adopted"
1t was resolved to raise $4,000, and
committee was appointed to expend it. That
paper adds -
"a large portion of tho $4,000 was i'm
mediately subscribed. That is vigorous
beginning of good work. But the people Of
Missouri should not be left to struggle unaid-
ed and alone. The interest of every slave
holding State is deeply involved in the mat
ter. The struggle is for the establishment of
slavery over region of country as large as
the State of New York.
Are we to set still and let the Yankee Abo-
litionists take possession of that delightful
country, when God and nature smile auspi-
ciousIy on our labors In every slave State
the work commenced in Missouri should be
prosecuted in earnestncss.
Ia.ahother article it says:-.

that sucht would be the practical result Of the
reIieu of the unconstitutional Missouri inter-
dict, that induced US to wave the objections
we had to some Of the details Of the Nebras-
ka bill, and urge the Southern members to sup
port it, not with reluctance, nor yet as boon,
but as right to which their States were en-
titled as equal members Of the confederaey.
1t was this belief that has prompted us on all
occasions to accord to President Pierce the
warmest praise for identifying his Admins
tration with, and stalking it upon the Nebras-
ka bill"
The Missouri compatriots in Kansas of
Douglass and Atchinson thus telegraph to THE
81, LOWS Republican the result of their la
bors:--
INDEPENDENCE, MO- March 81, P. NJ.
Several hundred returning emigrants from
Kansas have just entered ourc city. They were
preceded by the Westport and Independence
Brass Bands. They came in at the west side
of the public square, and proceeded entirely
around it, the bands cheering us with fine mu-
Sic and the emigrants with good news. I'M
mediately following the band were about two
hundred horsemen in regular order following
these were one hundred and fifty wagons, car
riages, &c. They gave repeated cheers for
Kansas and Missouri They report that not
an Anti-Slavery man will be in the Legisla-
ture OF Kansas. We have made clean
sweep"
And the following dispatch gives the fruits
of their labors at the balot-boxes of a part Of
the new Territory =
