A Voice from kentucky.

In such times of political excitement,
it might not be amiss to impa-t a few
items, which may be of some little ad-
vantage in posting the freemen of the
North, and the lovers ofiustice, freedom,
and humanity, everywhere, in regard to
the high-handed outrages Of the Slavery
Propaganda. as now being exemplifed
in Kansas Territory.
We will not reiterate the atrocious
deeds of which they have already been
guilty-deeds which are well known,
and need but to be known, to merit the
curses of every honest man.
Every breeze from the West freshens
them in the memory of millions of free
men, and heaven rings with cries of
vengeance against their perpetrators.
We can have no sympathy with any
man, much less a professor of religion,
who would pass them by, even in silent
APPRECIATION. Were these all, oar patience
might endure, but they are not all. BY
letters from various parts of the South,
we learn that men in mass meetings are
advocating the policy of raising money
sufficient, at all hazards, to make Kan
sas slave State. This plan meets with
great approval, and is advocated by pull
pit and press. The professed Legisla-
ture of that Territory is working beaun-
fully into the hands of Southern men
and scarcely had they passed the infa
nous act legalizing votes on the pay
ment of one dollar, poll-tax. when Con-
gresham of South Carolina was public
" urging his constituents to subscribe
literally for the above purpose; stating,
as an incentive, that the Legislature had
passed aact legalizing all votes cast on
payment of one dollar on election day
and that the tax would be collected from
the voters at the polls. This being the
case, if the money was raised, thousand:
of men could be hired TO 60 from the
States of Missouri. Kentucky, Tennessee
and Arkansas, and vote and return home
! again; and in this way they would bt
enabled to carry the vote OF the Conven
ton to form Constitution, and thus Sc
cure Kansas to Slavery.

such atrocious designs can be frustrated
We, the Anti-Slavery men ofthe South

When the affairs of Kansas we're
forcibIy interfered with by intruders from
Missouri we could not, In the face of the
evidence establishing the fact, deny It's
existence, or even justify it, because It
had been provoked by an almost as GRIM
inal interference upon the part of the Abb
clifton Emigrant Aid Companies Of the
East. We then expressed the opinion
that the acts of the Missourians would be
prejudieial to the South, placing it in
false position, and making it the violator
of laws which it is specially interested
in upholding for its own projections. The
course pursued By the Kansas Legisla-
ture is already confirming what we then
predicted. Its ultra radieaIism upon all
subjects, that call into exercise its Iegis-
:atiye functions, and the violence with
which it proscribes opinions not sguar-
ing with the ideas of It's leaders, have al
ready made il a disgrace to the country,
aud thrown upon the cause which it pre-
tends to uphold an enormous degree OF
responsibility. An instance of this is
seen in bill on the subject Of slavery

Going 20 Law Direot Taxes.

1t is to be presumed that the present
Legislature OF Kansas contemplate levy
ing direct taxes for the support of their
Territorial Government. Ne draw this
conclusion from the fact that not a little
of their legislation amounts to a direct,
palpable and entire Reputation of any
authority of the government of the Uni
ted States over them. They not only
practice upon the squatter sovereignty
doctrine to the extent of regulating their
own affairs-the things that are theirs ex-
clusiyely; but they assume the right to
grant any and everything not theirs to
any and everybody in and out of the Ter
ritory, if they cotton 10 the direct OF
indirect to the grantees.
They are going beyond their legitimate
functions, and set themselves up as Courl
and Jury to try their own so exceedingly
silly case against the President and Con
gress. We have no doubt Congress vii

The pretext for Reeder's removal is his
