Kansas q Slave STATE
The brilliant and glorious triumph achiev-
ed by the noble and unaided efforts of the
gallant and fchiyalfous sons Of the South,
over the combined forces Of the abolitionists
fressoilers and Emigrans Aid Societies in
our late Territorial election, furnishes a suit
able occasion to invite migration from the
South 20 our fair and fertile Territory. 1t
is well known that the scanning uncertainty
Of Kansas becoming slave State, and the
ssupendous effort of the so called Emigrant
Aid Societies TO abolitionize our Territory
by the importation of hordes of paupera,
hirelings and conyicts have served IN great
measure to discourage and impede emigra-
ton fromthe Sout'l. We have been assured
time and again, nor do we doubt, that there
are Thousands Of families in many OF the
old southern States, who have been contem-
plating for months pas! removal to Kan
sas but have been deferred from doing so
through fear of slavery not becoming one
of her institutions.
= This obstruction is now obliterated Tor
the Internal Vaccinations Of the Emigrant
AidSocieties have been defeated. Abolition
ism has been rebuked and discomforted.
Freesoilism has been crippled and over
threwned. The Free White State Party has
been annihilated and Kansas has declared
loudly and decisively in favor of slavery
That Kansas is to become slave State will
admi: of no doubt. The question has been
decided Her fate is sealed and what has
long since been the hope and prediction of
the pro-slavery party will soon be history.
Every body must admit that the popular
vote at our late election is the most inlalli-
bic exponent of the squatters' views Ii re-
gard to the future introduction Of slavery
into Kansas. Ifthis be so, we ask does the
uor populi oppose or favor the introduction
of slavery. We pause for reply.
But let US for a moment recapitulate upon
the returns of the late election, which speak
Tor themseles. BY reference to our issue,
which contains the official returns of the
election, we learn that the total number OF
votes polled in the Territory is no less than
1851 out of which 1926 were cast for their
pro-siavery party-in favor of making Kan
sas slave State, against 1O6S for the free
soil party-in favor of making Kansas a free
State. But why this great disparity, OF
what is it indicative. It shows conclusive.y
that SEVEN EicHrHs of our population are
in favor Of making Kansas slave State.
Now let US consider the vote in some one
district, We will take for example the vote
In the first Council District in which is sit
uated Lawrence, vile sink hole of infamy
and vagabondism-a settlement Inhabited
almost exclusively by negro-stealers and ia
natics and which has been justly designa-
ted as the HOT eED of fanaticisln, abolition
ism and all the other damnable and perni-
cious isms. In this district we find the vote
as follows:
Pro-slarery vote, 9O4
Free soil - 272
In favor of the pro-slavcry party, 632
The vote in the tenth council (our district
gives Mr.. Eastin, one of the pro-slaFery
nominees, the large and complimentary ma
jority of 1061. The vote is as follows:
Pro-slayery vote, 1925
Free soil s 66
In favor Of the pro-slavery party, 1850
In the fifth, seventh and ninth council dis
tricts, there was not single free soil vote
polled, La the second and third the free soil
vote was exceedingly meagre-not exceed
ing II IN either district. We he pc we
vii never again hear the oft repeated ques-
ton, "will Kansas Be a slave State" reite-
rated for it would be idle, absurd and ridi-
.culous Cor any one to entertain the least
doubt of: Kansas becoming slave State
vixen Tie returns Of the election present
such indispatable. .incontestible evidence of
slavery becoming one Of her domestic in
stiiu.iuns.
