Representatives Of the next Congress will be
largely Free-sOil or Anti Nebraska: The pro-
slavery Law Of the bogus Legislature will be
rejected, and without Congressional sanction
they are not valid--and the contest will then
be on accepting the Constitution presented by
the Free State people. The Free State Con.

Missouri and the South. Kanzas will be lef.

from it-Perhaps even the slave property Of
Western Missouri give way under the panic,
and seek safety in the cotton fields and sugar
plantations Of Texas.
1t has been the common opinion with
thoughtless persons and thick k-headed buIIies of
the west, that the northern and eastern men
will not fight Never was greater mistake.
The sons Of New England and of the Middle
States do not like to fight, They would rather
Work-plOugh-build towns, railroads, Snake
money, and raise families, than fight. But
fight they will. if need be, Remember, the
sons Of New England shed the first blood in

endeavoring to expel abolition from Kanzas,
they will FIJI both Kanzas and Missouri with
