THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THE sLAvEocRAcY

The world at large has regarded the destruc
ton of the Lumhary, at Parkville, Missouri
as an outrage; but the Weston (Missouri) Ar
gus of April 2lst, now before us, assures us
| that it was the publication of an Independent,
paper there that was the outrage! This same
paper also makes an editorial call for a mass
meeting at Weston on the 2sth of April and
| says:

and our friends have gained victory that full

to stay the tide of Abolitionism which threaten.
ed that Territory, and by their vigilance and
bravery have placed Missouri and the whole
South under lasting obligations.
"The work is not yet completed. Kansas and
our Union must be saved, and nothing short OF
the determination of the last vestige of Free Soil
and AboEtionism from that Territory, and ere7u
Stare State, can save either.
"The first Legislature in Kansas will lay the
foundation for purging Kansas, and it becomes
| the people of Missouri to set about cleaning her
own borders. Free-Soiers and Aboitionis s
are not entitledIto any place or respect in Mis-

| terminated. Honorable warfare with
| an honorable foe, is our motto; but against the
thieves, robbers, and murderers, about whom
| we are speaking, their only REGARD should be
| hemp. Destroy their papers; hang
| their editors; travel not in their Territories
have no dealings with them of any kind, and
they will soon learn by sad experience that We
can do better scithom them than they can with-
| out u.s. 4
