KANSAS AND THE ABoLrrI0NIsTs.-Thea b0li-
ton republicans" commenced the contest the
present year by q violent appeal for the resto-
ration of the Missouri compromise. That issue
they abandoned on the eve of their State
convention. The next step was to assert the
right Of Congress to legislate for the Terrific
ries, and to denounce popular sovereignty in
Kaneas, and to fercely assault all those who
aided to give the people the right to decide
whether they would or would not have slavery.
It is still two weeks to the election, and they
already abandon their last issue, and appeal to
the result of the election in Kansas, on the LIST
and 9th inst, as triumph of freedom. What
that result is we do not know; but If it is true
that the people of Kansas have decided against
the introduction of slavery into that Territory,
what are the aboltionists fighting for? How
can they longer attack the Kansas-Nebraska
bills? If their fruits are freedom, why are
they complaining? Not to their acts, not
from their policy, not from their measures
but in spite of their acts, their policy and their
measures has this result been Effected The
truth is, as will be seen, that they are now
working to abolish slavery everywhere; and
this will be seen in their course hereafter
Nothing short Of the destruction of the govern
ment will answer their purpose. That is their
aim.
