Now, viii the slavery propagandists
contend that New Y ork has superior na-
tural advantages to. Virginia. or Ohio to
Kentucky? Tie climate of Virginia is
certainly preferable to New York. so is
that of Kentucky to Ohio. And it has
always been acknowledged that the soil
of Virginia is more fertile than that of
New York; and while N. Y. is almost
entirely an inland State, a large part of
Virginia has a natural highway to all
parts of the world.
The soil of Kentucky is as good, and
her natural facilities for market better
than Ohio. Several years ago there
were places in Ohio where land would
bring one hundred dollars per acre, while
Immediately opposite in Kentucky land
equally as fertile could be purchased for
ten dollars per acre. and / suppose the
same state of things exists at the present
time.

President Pierce viii protect you from
the Algerines of Missouri; but he will
do no such thing; he is seeking nomi
nation for second election Poor, mis-
guided man! lie entered upon the du-
ties of his Office under the title of Young
Hickory; but he has shown none of the
independence of the old hero. Could
the ghost of Gen. Jackson come back he
would kick the present incumbent from
the presidential chair, and swear by the
"Great Eternal that the settlers of Kan
sas should have the protection glaran-
teed to them by the constitution and the
law of>nations. You must protect your
selves as well as you can till Congress
does something to relieve YOU The
Missouri Compromise will be restored at
the next session, or The wheels of govern
ment will stop. Every free State, with
the exception Of California, has declared
against the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise; and could the question be put
to-day, without the influence of govern
ment patronage. nine -tenths of the voters
in the free States would vote to restore.
it. The South called opposition to that
repeal, fanaticism; but if that was fanati-
cism, the conduct of the Missouriaus has
made the North perfectly mad.
The next session of Congress will be
strong one. William H. Seward, the
man of higher law notoriety, will be the
next President of the United States, as
sure as he lives; and all the powers of
slavery, with the aid Of their doughfaced
allies, cannot prevent it. Northern
dough Is baking pretty fast--the Mis-
sourians heating the oven.
You have>not had so large an addition
from this State as was supposed in the
spring; the cholera stopped some; but our
people who have gone West generally
wish to make purchases, and commence
fitting up New England home; and as
they could not obtain title to land in
Kansas, they have gone to Wisconsin
and Iowa. Bat the tide viii turn ia
Kansas as soon as the lands are surveyed.
We sympathize with you IN your
troubles; but we have no fears of Kansas
ever being admitted as a slave State
The Shareholders of Missouri viii keep up

What reputation that State has gained
for itself. People from this section would
sooner think of emigratingto South Caro-
lima than to Missouri.
