THE FATE OF KASsAs.

The Missouri Compromise, repealed on purpose
to give slavery chance to go into Kansas and es-
.absh itself there and take aud keep possession Of
the country, bids fair according TO all present APP
pearances, to accomplish its objects. Never was
a greater crime against Freedom projected than ia
the conception of that repeal never was mea-
sure urged through with more monstrous and deli
berate lies thar was that. We mean it from the
bottom of our heart aud in spirit of the fullest
candor. when we say, that the treason and crime
of Benedict Arnold sinks to insignfcsnce conpa-
red with this and if he deserved the excavation Of
Freemeu and the application of hemp, how init
nitely more are they deserved by Dougsss. Pierce,
f Co. We repeat It; at this very moment Ben
edict Arnold ought to stand farer on the page OF
history than Douglass Pierce, and We feel con-
fident that the time is not distan: when the name
Of Arnold will stand comparatively redeemed IN
virtue OF the deeper and packer tiffany which VIII
attach TO tae name of these modern traitors
1t Is notorious that the late election in Kansas
was controlled entirely, in the mode Of conducting
it and in its results, by Missouri mob. MOD
armed with rifles, revolvers, and bowie knives ac
coinpanied By bands of music as any wen ofgahi-
zed mob is apt 10 be, which went into Kansas for
no other purpose than TO guard the interests oil sla-
very by controlling this election, and which depar-
ted the way il came when the end was accomplish
ed. They scattered to every precinctin the terri
tory, and used their power SO well that not sin
gle ant>slavery man was returned TO either house
Of the legislature. We need not dwell on the in
Auence this first legislature will exercsein giving
permanent character TO the territory in this respect
Il do il il it chooses, and the strong probability
is, il wIso choose. And il it should not, the same
mob will no doubt be in readiness for future emer
gene les.
The aspect of things at present forces the cou-
victon that it is about hopeless to expect Kansas
to be preserved from shareholders aud slavery by
any power or force within herself. She must look
elsewhere for relief We have here labor to per-
form with reference to her needs. So No more
slave States,p is the on v efactua means for her
redemption aud salvation. Our duty will be to
keep IN the House and Senate men who are plant
ed firmly and unbendingly upon that purpose, aud
who, when The question comes, will meet it with
out shrinking, and respond with an emphatic and
unqualified ''No," to every proposition to admit
Kaiisas or any other State with slavery. @i
This adhered TO, will of course thoroughly pre-
vent the feared evils, but it win require increasing
and active vigilance partto do our share in
the premises. We stand well now wth refere nee
to it, having at least majority of members tight
on the question: but il is probable the question will
not be decided during the coming Congress. We
must, therefore, in 70 wise relax our vigilance,
but so cherish our purpose aud maintain our party
integrity, that we shall stand even better when the
question does come than now. sy+
We think that it will be found that the gre at
battle between Freedom and Slavery on this con
tinent will culminate in and on Kansas, and with
reference 10 it, Wilt be finally and forever decid-
led. great and iual struggle is approaching, lei
us be ready for it. lI
