ateiy subscribed. This vigorous beginning
of good work. But the people of Missouri
should not be left to struggle unaided and alone.
The interest of every slaveholding State is
deeply involved in this matter. The
struggle IL far the establishment of slavery
ooer region of country as large az the State
of Neio York A great end is attained when
sovereignty, with African slavery as an elc-
ment of it's political and social existence, is
brought into being"
Another part of the game was to establish
an easy standard of qualification for voters
SO, the day before the election, the Fort cav
enworth (Kanzas) Herald, pro-slavery organ,
laid down following as the law for the polls:
every man who is here on the day of cleo
ton, and offers to vote, it is prima facie evil
dence OF his right to vote, and he who contests
it must show that he is not an actual resident
within the meaning of the Act organizing the
Territory. Whether the voter intends to remain
day, week. month or year is not the ques-
ton A man may be qualified voter in Mis-
souri, at anfelection, and intend at the same time
to leave the same day so it may be the case
in Kanzas."-a esf
What convenient logic for fraudulent vot-
ing. The mere Altering to vote is prima .tacie
evidence that a man has right to vote! Oh,
Blackstone "A second Daniel this come to
judgment!
Well !! Ito conclude as we bcgan)--what is
be the upshot of this mockery of law and right
just perpetrated in Kanzas in the abused name
of Popular Sovereignty An outrage like this
may not be committed with impunity. The
Constitution Of the Union has been violated
1t secures to each State or embryo State, a Re-
publican form of government. Instead OF this,
the Democracy of Missouri have set up in Kan
Zas, the dictatorship of an armed mob of pro-
slavery invaders. Every propriety of politics
as every requisition of law, have been alike
trampled under foot What may be done in
the premises by an aroused people, is best judg-
ed by looking at the fate of those who first laid
promise---that compact "embalmed in the
hearts of the people as sacred thing" Rhode
Island, which has just held her election, COM
pletes the tale of the free States east of the
Rocky Mountains, every one of which has re-
pudiated the administration and the Party that
conceived and brought forth the niquity OF
the Kanzas-Nebraska bills. The South may
have bought the representatives, but it is plain
the people cannot be purchased. TO prepare
the minds of that people for the coming great
issue with Slavery is now the duty of all who
can WELD pen or tongue. Let this outrage in
kanzas be held mp TO the adherence of the
masses everywhere. Let those who have sown
the wind reap the whirlwind. Let the whole
North make up their minds, --calmly, firmly,
deliberately--tO resist, at oHhoxa,ds to resist,
the farther extension of the area of Slavery
No admission Of Kanzas into the Union as a
Slave State--no admission OF any Slave State
into the Union hereafter. now and forever--let
| this be the banner under which the whole North
shall rally as one man, unswayed by interest
unterrified by threats, be they of whatever ma.
! ture, come from whatever source thew NAV.
