Everybody Must Vote.

In many elections one vote has turned
the scale. One vote it was that placed
Thos. Jefferson in the presidential chair.
And, in Massachusetts, in 1889, Marcus
Morton, who had for sixteen years previous
been the Democratic candidate, was elect
ed governor by one vote. One vote has
done political wonders in times past, let it
not be wanting in Kansas Territory this
year. Do not fail to be at the polls.-
Sickness, business, and everything else but
death are poor excuses now, when not on
ly our property, but our lives are threaten
ed by the degraded human beings who are
sent out here by the Abolitionists of the
East to colonize OUR Territory. Let vo-
tiers be PREPARED to vote.

The Difference.

The marked distinction between the free
soil and pro-slavery parties, is. in the sell
fishness of the former, the iberality of
the latter. The free-soiler would exclude
from the benefits of our common country
all who differ with them, however honest
and patriotic they may be. They would
drive Clay, Madison, Jackson, Jefferson,
even Washington from Kansas Territory
while they welcome every vagabond and
thief, from whatever quarter he may come,
who is willing to help them in their war
upon their neighbors.
On the other hand, the pro-slavery men
welcome every HONEST MAN, and are will
ing to. share equally with him the common
property of the country. They do not
force any man to sacrifice his property or
his opinions-leave all to act free as to
them seems best. They only require 9TH
ers to do that which they and all good men
ought to be willing to do-to attend to their
own business, let their neighbors alone,
protect their own property, and respec,
their neighbors.

FOR COUNCILMAN,
j. c.. WEIBLEY.
To the Friends of the South.

On Friday next, the Squatters Of Kansas
will be called upon to decide whether the
government of this Territory shall be Civ
en- over TO the hands of the Abolitionists
and Negro Thieves, or to the true and
honest men of the South. Citizens of
Kansas, are you prepared for the contest?
viii you let local prejudices influence
your votes in the coming election? Ifyou
are opposed to Abolitionism. and its results
you will not throw away your votes on
Bastard Candidates, but come up manfully
to the support of the ticket presented by
the Pro-slavery Party. The Southern
Party will go to the polls with fair pros
pect of success. But they must remember
that if their strength is divided, defeat may
follow. The spirit of desperation the Alb
olitinists are working with, should arouse
us to action. 1t should point us to the me-
cessity of presenting an unbrolzen front to
the enemy. 1t can with propriety be Justly
charged on all who encourage or support
a division in our ranks, with leaning to.
wards abotitionism. We sincerely hope
that none in that category can be found in
this neighborhood. We are told that in
Union there is strength !" let us then be
united, and our power will be felt by the
miserable faction of negro thieves, and
others who oppose us.

Union, Concession, Compromise.

On Friday next the election comes off.
Every efior, will be required to carry it.
Let no selfish motives induce opposition in
our ranks. The man who is not willing
10 make the sacrifice Of every personal
consideration, to unite in support of the
Pro-slavery ticket, yield EVERY prejudice
TO advance the one great interest, merits,
and will receive as his reward, the con-
tempt of every good man. Eternal shame
upon all such. We feel, however, that
though there may be wounded feelings.
mortified ambition, that there will not be
any disafcction, but that all will come up
TO the work as one man. lie: this be the
feeling, and our cause must and will tri-

The ..Kansas Free state. ),

In the last number OF this Journal, the
Editor seems 70 be afflicted 70 an alarming
extent, with that horrible disease "The
Blues" In one column he gives US SER
mon IN the shape of a letter, from some
craok-brained Abolition Preacher "Down
East" prating about Human Rights"
intellectual moral and Physical Progress
SIC, &c. the usual theme on which they
Rant Again, ne complains of the par
simony of Abolitionists, and that too when
they boast Of hauing appropriated S5,000,-
900, to Abolitionise Kansas, says they do
not support him. In another column he
rates his Abolition friends for their want
of iberality and energy, and winds up by
saying:
"We must admit that, from the very or
ganization of the territory, down tothe pres
ent time, the prospect for freedom has been
exceedingly dull We have had every
thing to discourage US, so far, but we hope
a brighter day is dawning. 1t is reported
that our first Legislature will be pro-sla-
very. We fear there is too much truth in
the report"
We have always heard that an open
confession, was good for the soul, we hope
in this instance it may prove relief TO the
editor of the Free State. We did not ex-
pect that he would admit the possibility Of
Kansas being made Slave State. Were
it not for the "Lackidaisical" tone of the
entire number of the paper showing the
sincerity of the editor, we would be dis
posed to suspect some trick concealed, but
he is in earnest, the fact is so evident, he
has unwillingly to admit It. We must not,
however, be lulled into too much security,
for although the Abolitionists are discour-
aged at the hopelessness of the effort to in
troduce their infamous doctrines into Kan
sas, still unless we use every effort we
will not be able to secure two thirds of the
Legislature.
We had hoped to hear no more about
the intellectual, Moral and Physical
progress" ofthe Free States, as in advance
Of the Slave States. Aside from the ex-
pose, made by the census report, showing
conclusively, exactly the reverse of what is
contended for; showing in fact, that the
South is Physically, Morally and Intellec-
tually ahead of the Non-slave- holding
States, and the reasons are also seen by
the same report.
We have always found in Congress and
out of it, whenever the men North and
South, have met in Intellectual, or Physic-
al conflict the South has never had cause
to be ashamed of her champions, they have
never been second best as yet. In point o.
energy the s'Free States" admits us ahead
of them, by saying that while we, (the abb
olitionists) are doing nothing, the Pro Sla
very party are thoroughly organized, and
every thing is like clock-work with them
Now is the time friends of the South, nov
while our enemies are disheartened and dis
organized to finish the work we have ST
bravely and successfully commenced. One
more charge and the enemy is routed
Horse, Foot, and Dragon.

Free Negroes.

The so-called "Free White State Par
ty,' which is properly nick-named the
+" White-washed Party" among other prin-
ciples in its so-called platform, proclaims
its opposition to the settlement Of free ne
groes in Kansas.
We need hardly say this is mere pre-
tence, which no man can be so silly as to
credit.
1t was this very principle in the con-
stitution Of Missouri which delayed her
admission into the Union! The free-soil-
ers then insisted that free negroes were
citizens of the United States, and entitled
to all the privileges of other citizens; that
they had the right to settle in any State in
the Union, and that the clause in the con-
stitution of Missouri which made it the
duty of the Legislature to pass laws Is To
prevent free negroes and mulattoes from
coming to and settling in the State, under
any pretext whatever" was violation of
the Constitution Of the United States!
Not until Mr.. Clay offered his amend
ment, and the Legislature of Missouri ac-
cepted it, declaring that nothing in the con-
stitution should exclude .any citizen of
the United States" {" from all privileges
and immunities to which such citizen is en-
titled under the constitution" could Mis-
souri, get into the Union. The free-soilers
held that free negroes" were " "citizens
of the United States" and as such entitled
to all .frivileges and inansunities Of other
citizens" They are of the same opinion
still! Indeed, they think negroes little
better than white men,. They are in favor
of keeping the poor white Dutchman OF
Irishman from coming among US and en-
joying the blessings of our country, while
they help the meanest negro to run away
from his master, and then make hero OF
him!
There is in truth neither honesty nor con-
sistency in their professions. With their
well known love for the negro, they ough,
not to exclude him from the Territory and
with their opinion of his rights as '.citi-
zen of the United States" they cannot do it.
On the other hand, the pro-slavery party
believe the negro unfit to be free-regard
free negroes as nuisance, and deny tina
they are " citizens" Hence they can anc
will exclude them from settlement in the
Territory. They will neither bring then
into the Territory by stealing them from
their neighbors, nor will they let then
come to the exclusion of good white men
They have no love for them, and will keer
them away.

RISING FROM CoFFIN.-The Bos

was supposed to be dead, was dressed in
her shrowd, placed in her coffin, and the
lid was about to be screwed down. when il
was discovered that life was not extinct
All present Immediately gathered around
the coffin, and the enshrouded corpse-like
form arose from her narrow bed and en-
braced her children and relatives with all
the fervor of renewed life. To all appear
ance she became conyalescent, and subse.
quently partook of food. She remained
in this condition until the approach of night
when she tottered to the bed and IN few

wise.
The presence of voter is all the procs
he is required to give. If present, il is ne.
cessary to show that he has not right 70
vote. Again as we find IN the States
where residence of six or twelve months
is prescribed, voter is only required to
prove that he has lived there six or twelve
months. So in Kansas, where he is only
required to be living in the Territory On
the day of the election, his being there on
that day is all the proof that is necessary,
The party challenging must then show
that he is not ga resident" or "inhabitaf;'
within the meaning of the act.
The right cannot be disproved by show
ing that the voter owns property or. hs.
been living elsewhere. A man has III,
right to change his residence whenever be
pleases-and can change it itwithout having
to build a house, or move his fanily-thi:
is too plain to require argument.

IN pursuance Of previous notice. Seventy
Of the one hundred shares were represen-
ted, and considerable business was transac-

publication-but In order to show those
who have settled in Atchison. or intend
doing SO, that the shareholders intend no
grab game, but have full faith in making
money by investing money in Atchisons-I
will state for their information, that nearly
. the whole amount arising from the sales Of

priated for making Improvements in the

make it fine market for stock, provisions
and merchandise of all kinds.
Gentlemen of capital have undertaken
to open houses of outitting goods and pro-

compelled to purchase.
ANY number of Mechanics of all kinds
and common laborers. can now find con
slant employment at Atchison. Nor,
Carpenters, Blacksmiths, Wagon makers
