The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-11-17

heard him one day last summer address
ing large popular assembly on Emigra-
ton in the homely English, to hear him
a few hours after, surrounded by schol-
ars, speaking at length in Latin, which
was as correct as the English was point
ed,-or yet few hours later to have
heard him at the head of s'the pioneers"
as they met the fluctuations of the peo-
pie of Albany and Rochester. But this
variety of work is not the result of mere
versatility. 1t is the energetic effort of
man, whose hearts inhis undertakings,
and who knows he can carry them through.
Signs of Distress.
We are much crowded for space, but
we cannot refrain from making room for
the following from the Kickapoo Pioneer.
the editor brays piteously for help. Pow
er is departing. The hand writing is seen
upon the wall. Pro-slavery men, do come
Immediately to Kansas, and rally around
the black flag, else all your hope will per-
ish, and all your money will be lost which
you have expended in sending enemies
into Kansas to wrest from the abolition
ists'' their liberties. The fertile plains
of Kansas are literally hack with oppo-
sers of slavery. They come in wagons,
they come by steamboats,, they throng
our public thoroughlares, they are seen
in every department of life, and some
thing must be done to stay the tide-this
avalanche of Freedom, else all, all is
lost. But to the article from the Pho
neer:-
''THE CRISIS HAS ARRIvED.-The time
has come when it behooves every pro-
slavery man to be up and doing. If
Southerners wish to see Kansas enter the
Confederation as slave State, they must
no longer hesitate about taking up their
line of march; they must come thicker
and faster than ever before. Our enemies
1.-THE abolitonists, are making every ex-
ertion to populate this Territory with
hordes of their followers. Money has been
raised to the amount 100000 in the
East, and sent 10 the abolitionists of Law
renee, for the purpose of making Kansas
a Free State; and these tools, it is said
have formed themselvesinto asecret, mid
night organization, where they meet and
concoct ways and means to accomplish
every kind of rascality and dishonesty
to thwart the influence and strength Of
the pro-slavery party; and it is also said
they are making use of the money fur
nished them in populating this Territory
from the Free States-the passage of ev,
cry abolitionist is paid who will migrate
las speedily as possible to knock for ad
mission as State at an early day.
''The South must at once rally-thert
is no time to belost-money must be rails
ed to meet every emergency, and thi:
Territory must be densely populated will
men in favor of slavery; if not. every
thing is lost to US. The glorious achiev
ments that have been so valiantly won a
the ballot boxin past elections will amour
to nothing, if Kansas is to enterthe UnioI
as Free State. But we cannot believe
that the South will remain dormant anC
inactive, and allow Kansas to be lost and
her interests thereby seriously impaired
The gallant and glorious old South ha'
money and men to meet any exigency-
to meet any attempt of her enemies t.
wrong and defraud her of her just rights
then why not come at once, no more pro
pitious time can offer than the present
Hesitate no longer, now is the time
Kansas bound, Onward. The pro-slavery
party of this Territory will meet you with
open arms and hearty welcome. Come
and join us in the noble cause. Strike
for your liberties and the perpetuation Of
the Constitution-put down the abolition
lists and fanatics of the North, they have
already been allowed too much sway, and
are consequently becoming more impu-
dent every day. Strike terror to theil
black hearts and make them repent Of
past transgressions with solemn promise
never to darken the peace, happiness and
fperpetuity of our glorious Republic by
lifting an arm or raising voice to pro-
claim negro freedom in our Territory,
which soil by right belongs to the South
and must be owned by the South at the
sacrifice, if need be, of her best and bra
vest men,"
Our Kickapoo contemporary has given
the "Sign of distress" rather louder and
more urgent than we had expected, but
he will moan more piteouSly than that ere
the ides of March next. Do you hear
that neighbor?
