one of our public works with commenda-

we thought it deserved. and the impor-

We thought nothing further of il at the

The Washington Union holds 20 the
right view Of the difficulties in Kansas:
1--WE take occasion TO say that we see
no Cause to npprehend interruption Of the
public peace in Kansas. unless its actual
residents should be in.erfered with in the
conduct of the public affairs OF the Ter.
ritory. If any persons have heretofore
interfered. (Which in our mind does not
admit of doubt either TO control the
votes by means of organized societies in
other States. or actually TO vote in the
Territory without the lawful qualification
OF residence, or TO overawc the qualified
voters. such persons have perpetraied q
gross wrong as against the rights ond in
ieres,s of the bona Jfde settlers Of Kan
sas, which deserves and will receive the
reprobation of all right minded men,"
There is one very commendable fact
in connection with the Kansas Difficult
ties. But one or two papers in the whole
South have approved the Missouri incur
sion, while the leading and mos. respec-
table ones have unreservedly conde mned
il. There is inst one essential point in
the business: The bona .fdc settlers of
Kansas, for themselves, MUST be permit
ted 10 settle the slavery md all other
domestic questions. The popular sovs
reignty question is incorporated in the
Kansas law, and this principle and this
law MUST be enforced. --Det. Free Press.
