The Slavery Excitement in Missouri

The news of the destruction of the
Parkyille Luminary, and the resolutions
which were passed at the same time by
those citizens of Platte county, who par
ticipated therein will certainly be receiv-
ed with surprise, not only by nine-tenths
of the people of Missouri, but also by
the whole nation. 1t presents the fact,
that in the western counties of this State
the agitation of the slavery question has
been wrought up to fearful degree of
intensity, and that it is no longer permit
ted to the public press of that section of
the country to comment in any other
than an approving manner of the pro-
ceedings of those nullifers, who set them
selves up as the peculiar guardians of
our State institutions. In addition to
this fact, it will be seen too that these
individuals have denounced in the
most intolerant manner, every man, wo-
man and child connected with the Me-
thodist church North, and have threat
ened with the cord and dagger any of its
ministers who may seek to preach the
mercies of Redeemer to the people of
Platte. This is certainly going farther
than we have ever yet known fanaticism
to reach in America, and we shall await
impatiently for further information touch
ing the whole matter, that We may see
whether the Platte Argus has properly
presented the occurrences in Parkyille
or not. The resolutions which hold up
vindietiye threats over the heads of the
editors of the Luminary, if they shall
ever again appear in Platte county, or il
they shall dare to settle IN Kansas Terri
tory, are perhaps not so remarkable
Those who make no scruple of voting IL
Kansas while residing in Missouri, are
not likely to hesitate in debating who
shall go there to settle, before their own
proposed exodus shall take place. Blu
wewill commentmore at length upon thi:
affair when We shall hear both sides o.
the story.-i&. Louis, No. Democrat.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-05-19
The Motive.

Senator Atchison, it seems, is not SC
single-minded in his devotion to the ex.
tension of slavery in Kansas as has been
generally supposed. His true object is
his own political success. The result Of
the last election in Missouri and of the
struggles in the Legislature thus chosen,
showed Mr.. Atchison that he was in q
decided minority, and could not be re-
turned to the Senate unless by means ol
some desperate expedient. The question
relative to freedom OF slavery in Kansas
territory was seized upon as offering the
only chance, and into this he has gone
with all the desperation of an excited
gamester, whose last hope is staked upon
the hazard of die. The st. Louis Dem
ecrat tells us that by taking the violent
part he has in this contest, Mr. Atchison
hopes to get the Wings of the border
counties in Missouri soindammed on the
slavery question, and so used to follow
ING his directions, as to induce them to
give instructions to their representatives.
to vote for him for Senator when the
Missouri Legislature meets next fall
From present appearances there is smart
chance of the. success of this maneuyre,
as the st. Louis Republican. the leading
Wing journal of the State, is thoroughly
welded to his interests.-Philadelpkio
Gazette.

Another Election.

We are credibly informed that new
election viii take place on the 22d inst.
10 supply vacancies In some of the Dis
triets caused By informalities of the
Judges of election, to complete the rep
resentation in the Legislature. This viii
be another opportunity for the pro-sla-
very party to prove true to their princi-
Piles, which we feel certain they viii do,
as they are not disposed to see an aboli-
tionist in the Legislature, or at least as
few as possible. as it is presumable they
win vote for no bill offered by hemp
men, and would consequently be very
obnoxious to a large majority of said
body.
We must again make a clean sweep
We must prove to the friends of the
'sdear. depressed blacks, " that We do not
intend to sleep as long as there IS work
to be done-as long IS there is an aboli-
ZIONIST in Kansas. We sre watched with
envioasness at this time before we shall

their taste as their actions are eontenpti-

votes OF the people. That pro-slayery
men viii, as hitherto, stand up for their
rights at the greater triumph of their
principles, and the still lower and more
nrostrate condition of Free State men.

The Right Spirit.

What southern man can read the pro.
ceedings at the meeting held in Park.
vile, without feeling his heart buoy ut
with feelings of patriotism !! nay, a love
for the glorious institutions of the South
Oh, that we could rule the destiny of thi:
republic, so that we might make the dis
position of aboiitionism, and all other
heretical isms, that we would like to
make. We should very soon get rid oil
the disorganizers of the Union. We
would ship them to Africa, where they
should remain in sweet communion with
the African -blacks-the dear people they
profess so much veneration, so much love
for. Yes, there we would have them re-
main until their skins had become as
black as their hearts.
If there is any thing in this world we
detest, it is a thief. In our adherence
for the thief we have learned to hate the
abolitionist, as they are about one and
the same thing. He who steals negroes
will steal money. Neighbors, friends of
Kansas, look outfor ''pick pockets, they
are in our midst. Bring forth strong
southern police, and let us arrest every
abolition head of them, and lock them
out of Kansas.-Ransas Pioneer.

Emigration not Ended.

The N. Y. Tribune says:-"A cores
pondent at Terre Haute, Ind, writes to
inform as of movement going forward
in that State for the settlement of Kansas
by freemen. Seven citizens of Vigo
county, all in comfortable circumstances,
have Just started for the new Territory,
impelled solely by the desire to take pant
in the pending struggle, and more are
soon to follow, and that county is but q
specimen of the entire State. Illinois,
we are told, is also resolved to do her
part in The great work; from these two
States from two to three thousand en-
igrants may be counted on this year,
and from Ohio thousands afe also to be
expected. Indeed, We are confident
that If the more populoas communities
of the East do their duty in the prem-
ises as thoroughly as their Western
brethren, the triumph of freedom viii
be assured.
Our correspondent advises eastern
emigrants for Kansas to try the land
route across Iowa instead of going dewn
to St Louis. The suggestion merits ex-
animation. but we are not sufficiently
well informed to express a definite opin-
ion upon it,
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-05-19
The Kansas Election.

Every account from Kansas, concern
ing the occurrences which took place
there at the election on the 30th of March,
tends to establish the fact of the perpe-
tration by the Missourians, of one of the
grossest outrages that ever were commit
ted upon American citizens. Alleged
Austrian and Cuban outrages upon the
persons and liberties of our countrymen
abroad, dwindle down into utter insignifi-
canoe in comparison with the brigandism
which was perpetrated upon the people
of Kansas, by the ruffians of Missouri, at
the period named. Accustomed, as we
have been, to the almost boundless inso-
.lence and unrestrained aggressions of the
slave power, it still seems scarcely posi-
BILE for us to believe that men, bearing the
names of American freemen," could be
guilty of such cowardly assaults, upon
their fellow citizens such dastardly at
tacks upon the very principle of "squat-
ter sovereignty" which they profess to
cherish and such unproYoked, unjusti-
fable assaults upon the freedom and in
dependence of a territory with which
they have no shadow of right to inter-
fere, as have been committed by Atchi-
son and Stringfellow, and the scoundrels
with whom they have, twice, carried war
into Kansas.
1t is shown that an army of Missouri
ans, armed with rifles, revolvers, and
knives, with a regularly organized Com
missariat, and with cannon, invaded the
Territory of Kansas on the 29th of March
last; and on the 50tb, prevented, by mill
tary outrage, the people of that Territory
from voting for territorial Legislature,
at the same time debating who shall be
members of that Legislature.
If Atchison and Stringfellow had Or
ganized their army of ruffians for the
purpose of invading Mexico, the General
Government would have seized those men
and would have punished them severely.
for leyying war. Why not do so in this
case? It is the bounden duty of the
General Government to protect our terri
tories from invasion and their inhabitants
from foreign aggression. Why do they
not do it In the case of Kansas The old
answer comes to us with the same ever
lasting responsible invaders Of Kansas
went there to establish slavery, and sla-
very, which is now the supreme power at
Washington, strikes the Government
blind and dumb with moral paralysis. Ii
dare not act against the power that made
it. It dare not complain of the outrages
which it originally invited, by ignoring
the Missouri Compromise, and which it
has since encouraged by its dwelling
policy.
But this condition of things is not a
permanent one. The next Congress will
utterly condemn such proceedings. In
the meantime let the freemen of the North
and West pour into the Territory, aud in
few months the freedom of Kansas win
be established so that no rufians viii be
able TO browbeat and intimidate those
who, alone, have the right to regulate its
municipal affairs Aass. Spy.

re- The following from the st. Louis.
No., Republican of 31st March, the day
after the election, tells how the Eruption
lists rejoice over their mob triumph. 1t
is dispatch from Independence to the
eastern press.
"Seyeral hundred returning emigrants
from Kansas, have just entered our city.
They were preceded by the Westport
and Independence Brass Bands. They
came in at the west side of the public
square, and proceeded entirely around it.
the bands cheering us with fine music,
and the emigrants with good news. I'm
mediately following the band were about
two hundred horsemen, in regular order
following these were one hundred and
| fifty wagons, carriages, &c. They gave
repeated cheers for Kansas and Missouri.
They report that not an anti-slavery man
will be in the Legislature of Kansas. We
have made clean sweep
