Of Kansas who do net believe negro slavery
TO be Christian institution and national
blessing. They are proposing 10 punish
with imprisonment the utterance OF views
inconsis,en nj. with their own. Aud they are
internal tyranny, BY appointing for ter,a
81 gears creatures Of their own, as Commits
sicners in every couaty, to lay and collect
taxes and see that the laws taey are pass
ing are faithfully executed. Has this age
anything to compare with these acts in an.
dacity
The Free State men Of Kansas have re-
solved no, to submit TO this daring ususpa-
lion OF non resident, olgsrchy. They have
called convention Of the people Of Kansas,
TO meet in September next, and frame a
Constitution for their government. rms
movement will be supported by Thousands
in Kansas: and il viii rally and bring 10
their aid the Northern States that have been
for tn time staggered aud confused BY the
untoaard events III Kansas.
The next Congress will end then this
/ issue before them--a Free State Constitu-
! ton presented By enc portion of tn people
of Kansas, and the pro-slavery territorial
laws Of the present fraudulent Legislature,
The House Of Representatives of the next
Congress will be largely Freesoil or Anti
Nebraska. The pro-slayery Nv, Of the
LOCUS Legislature will be rejected, and with
out Congressional sanction they are not
yalid-and the contest will then be on ac-
cepting the Constitution presented by the
Free State people. This Free State Con-
stitution may pass the House, bu, not the
Senate. But the effect will be as disastrous
10 Missouri aud the South. Kansas will be
left to anarchy. Tie slavery that is there will
dee from it-and perhaps even the slave
property OF western Missouri give way un-
/ der the panic, and seek safety in the cotton
fields and sugar plantations of Texas.
Il has been the common opinion with
,houghtIess persons and thick headed bul-
lies of the west, that the northern and east
tern men will not fight. Never was greater
mistake. The sons of New England and
Of the Middle States do not like to fight.
They would rather work, plow, build towns,
lroads-make money, and raise families,
than fight. Blu, fight they will, il need be.
Remember, the sons Of New England shed
the frs. blood in the American Revolution;
and they were the last to furl their flags in
tha, terrible struggle. They have never
they Will not. They are Americans; with
Split, courage, endurance, and deep love OF
liberty, to animate them. The Free State
men in Kansas will fight before they will be
DISTINGUISHED and trampled on. Mark the
word
Here comes. then, the suicide Of Slavery.
The outrages committed by Atchison and
his fellows in the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise, and by String:ellow and his
followers in snbjuga,ing Kansas 10 non-res-
ident rule, viii bring on a collision first in
Congress and then an kansas-and who
shall tell the end
Slavery will never sustain itself in bor-
der State BY the Sword. II may conquer
in some respects; but it can never conquer
peace" Never never. Once light the
fires of internecine war in defence OF slave
~, and il will perish bile you defend it.
Shareholders will not stay 10 meet the fight.
Property is ,in,id, and the slaves will be sent
10 Texas 10 be in ''safe place" while the
fight lasts; and as soon as the slaves are
gone il will be found that Missouri has moth
ing to fight about, and the fight will end "be-
fore il begins ~
Thus the slavery propagandists who re-
pealed the Missouri Compromise to make
Kansas Slave State, will nuke Missouri
free; and in endeavoring to expel abolition
from Kansas. they will fiji both Kansas and
Missouri with an entire free white popula-
tion-worth more TO the two States than
all the negroes in America.
Is not the Kansas outrage the suicide Of
slavery Have not the people Of Missouri,
interested in the preservation Of slavery in
the State, brought themselves into des.
perate predieament BY following the insane
couHsels OF Atchison and Stripgfe!low -
