Round the LaHd.o
Our caption for this article has been sug-
gested by the insensate rawlings, and wo-
be-gone leaders which are constantly ap-
pearing in the abolition and freesoil papers,
in relation to our recent election in Kansas
for delegate to Congress. The result of
the first canvass in our Territory in which
the slave question was distinct issue, has
astounded these weak apostles Of the mod
ern niger faith, and they now groan with
an unction, which certainly indicates, that
their distempered mind are suffering keen
| ly under the pangs ola signal defeat. For
getting the promise that "Heaven tempers
the winds to the shorn lamb" some have
given over in utter dispair, while others in
bitterness of spirit, turn their stricken coun-
tenances to the scene of their discontinue,
and catch at any and every production,
which can be invented by their malignant
minions here, to prop their falling fortunes,
and strange to relate, there are few char
actcrs among US, who lend their willing aid
to abuse the ear Of the North, and by their
cowardly and malicious classification of
facts, are, endearoring to traduce the char
acter Of our citizens and bring lasting re-
proach upon our young Territory. For
these perfdious wretches who thus are made
the willing tools Of freesoil and abolition
journals, who thus furnish such wholesale
libels upon our people and our institutions,
whose "tongues outvenom all the worms
of Nile" we can have but a word. They
are beneath contempt, and the necessity
must be dire which would induce US to
breathe their names. The pulling M. F.
c., who calumniates us in the Baltimore
Sun. The infamous wretch, who has stolen
the name of kansas" soul sick with poison
and corruption, and stricken Of heaven, who
traduces US in the Lancaster (Pa.) Intelli-
gcncer, and lastly, the insidious and serpent
tongued "Yankee," who pretends to hail
from Lawrence, and vomits forth his NAL
ice in tie Boston Atlas, are all of char
acter, and would not receive this passing
notice, were it not for the importance which
abolitionists and freesoilers arc endeavoring
to give to their rotten productions.
By the way we learn that these creatures.
who fatten upon corruption, are now enjoy
ing all the patronage which his Excellency
the Governor of our Territory can bestow.
