object Of aiding the settlement Of gsa.a, n,
free men. But, according to our corre.uo.,...
this is all wrong; we have acted unr;..t-
wickedly. We ought TO have remained .,,.n.
and used our influence to keep our friesd, =,
home. We ought to have been ,na;rs,.,, a.
the settlement of Kansas If Southeyn Ma,
ers desired to carry their slaves there. we ouoh,
to have inserPosed no objections. II wa,
wrong in us, our wishing to be able 10 on,.
vote the slave-driyers In that Territory w.
ought to have given mp both Nebraska aud K.,.,,
to them. Then there would h,va h.an :.
trouble on the Missouri frontier. and eyervtbin,
would have been quiet and peaceable /, K,ns,s
This appears to be the argument Of "a Sor,h.
"ern Friend What do our Northern f,,aos,
think of it,
But tie pioneers from the Northern State.
we are informed, established schools in Kaa...
in which "to inculcate in the minds of thsir
children hatred Of the peculiar Institute,
of tie South" This too was all wroag 1t
was never intended that there should be any
schools in Kansss-certainly none in which free
principles might be taught. There is no COCA
sion for schools in the Southern States. Nothing
like school system exists there, and schools
in which the principles of freedom should be in
cucated would be tora down at once as nurser-
les of AbolitioDism. But the men who went 10
Kansas from our Northern States-where We
have schools, where they are our pride-had no
idea of getting along without the school-house.
They must have that OF they could not go. Bat
did they not mistake their duty when they Went
therel Should they not have KEEP. out of Kan
sas altogether Had they any business there
Had they, in fact, any right to go there But
they did CO. and one man took along printing
press, and ultimately commenced the publics
tion of newspaper, calling it The Herald
of Freedom, in which Freedom was adyo
Gated. The editor was in favor of making Kan.
sas Free State, and he boldly proclaimed the
fact. This was another very serious mistake. Ii
gave oflense to Mssourians. 1t produced gres.
excitement on the frontier. Ii led 10 acts Of
yiolepce--to scenes of brutality and blood shed.
All this was to have beeEexpected. There was
noplace for newspapers in Kansas, especially for
newspapers advocating Freedom. A newspaper
is barely tolerated when it sustains the pecalir
Institution; but let it breathe syllable in favor
of Freedom and it is at once voted nuisance
and its conductor supplied with coat OF tar aud
feathers This is the state Of things where
Slave States have been organized; and as
Kansas was intended for Slave State by those
who marked out its boundaries, of course,
press advocating the establishment of Fres
State was not wanted there. This idea, We
dare say, never occurred to the emIgrants from
the Free States. Innocent souls they knew
little of the territory to which they were re.
moving or of the troubles they were destined t,
encounter.
Our friend concludes with "solemn warn.
ting" which we trust will be widely read and
carefully Needed. We are admonisbed to bs
slent-to be careful how we stir up the blood
of these Southern Hotspurs. He evidently cen
siders the attempt to carry Freedom into Kaa.
sas dangerous one; il is a job which he thinks
had better be "let out" to some one "Frienis
" of Liberty" he says, "be discreet and 81.
"lent." That is, lit down and fold your arms
uuu 30 10 tho pV"eA
chooses TO carry it there. Let the Soath MN.
age this b. sine ss-Northern men have nothing
to do with it.
Now, seriously, was there ever anything mora
impudent than this language of our correspond
emit We should attach no importance to /: but
for the fact that it expresses the feelings Of the
great body Of the shareholders in the United
States at this moment. They have no idea that
any Northern man has right TO remove to Kaa-
sas-to remove there with the design Of aiding
to make it Free State. They look upon tho
Territory as theirs, and Northern men who 90
there are regarded as so many intruders. They
have considered it doomed to Slavery as mat
ter Of course; they have set their hearts upon
making it Slave State, and they do not intead
to be defeated. The issue is therefore plainly
presented. 1t will cost hard struggle to
keep Slavery out of Kansas. 1t cannot b
done by being "silent." A great deal Of hard
work is to be done, and possibly some fighting
But no matter. Every North ern man who pre-
tends to the ownership of his own soul should
make up his mind that KANSAS SHALL BE FREE,
cost what it may. We have had about as @aci
Southern bullying as we care to submit to- let
US resolve to be FAITHFUL to FREEDOM, regard
less Of consequences
