neighborhood hearing OF this anticipa ted

about concocting plans with which to
Illustrate it. He enlisted the assistance
Of another person, and the two first en-

enraged and one of them, Mr.. Butcher.
seized an axe. and dealt him several
blows. fracturing the skull and killing

Kansas and Slavery.

One would. suppose from the tones of The
abolition press. that slavey had been real
ly established in Kansas, or that al the
very least. the next Legislature would
certainly establish il. We have no such
fears. We entertain the belief that Kan
sas will be free State; and we are just
flied in this belief by the opinion of the
Kansas Herald of Freedom. n journal
which is averse To the establishment OF
slavery. The Herald is"confident. des-
piie the recent oulrnges shat Kansas will
lie free State" Al the recent census,
the Herald says, "every election dis
,rict in the Territory was found 10 have
n majority in favor of makeing i, free
Ii was this important and clearly ascer-
,ained fact which made the pro- slavery
Missourians deem il nesceSsary TO incur
such great expenses in the importation
Of voters, in order to gain an unlawful
ascehdency." Now if "ercry election
district in the Territory has majority
in tduor Of making it a free State, Kan
sas cannot be made slave State by the
illegal net of Missourians. That is
clear. And that effective measures will
be adopted to prevent repetition OF the
aggressions complained OF we apprehend
is tolerab,y certain. Besides, of the emf.
grafton now pouring into Kansas. eight
,enths. ii is fair to presume, will prefer
that it shall be free territory.
The doctrine Of popular sovereignty is,
that the actual sellers of n Territory shall
fashion lis local Institutions. This is
right. If the settlers in Kansas want
slavery, let them have it; but if they do
no, wan, it. the people of Missouri nor
Of any other State. nor OF all the States.
cen righifully force it upon Them. The
judgemen, of tho country. irrespective
ofseciional sympa,hies will sustain mea
sures that will protect this correct prnci-
