The Border Press.

We have been quoting for several
weeks from the border press, with their
wild and fanatical expressions against the
people of Kansas, hoping thereby to
sEame them into more courteous use of
language; but each week they seem to
sink deeper and deeper into the mire and
filth of blaekguardism. A person
would suppose from the tone of their ar
ticles that in Lawrence was congregated
all the dregs of eastern society, and that
nothing could be found here but the Iou
and Uiie. The whole pre-slavery press
is found weekly abounding with remarks
like the following, which weclip from the
Leayenworth Herald
Lawrence is vile sink hole of infa-
my and vagabondism-a settlement in
habited almost exclusively by negro
stealers and fanatics, and which has been
Justly designated the Hor-BED of f.nati
cism, Abotitionism, and all the other
damnable and peraicious isms."
To the eastern readers such language
sounds strange, and CRATES harshly upon
the ear. Were they conscious of the
cause of such language, they would be
more surprised. We venture the asser-
ton that in nine cases out of ten where
such low language is used, the author has
been reared in the free North, and has
become recreant to his early education.
His only hope of maintaining his posi-
ton with pro-slavery men is in becoming
more ultra than the most devoted fire.
eater of the South. Each week he sinks
lower and lower in the scale of manhood,
hoping thereby to gain favor with those
whose patronage he solicits.
We have in our mind at this moment
several gentlemen, who are connected
with the pro-slayery press, who were
reared in the South. 1t is not necessary
for them to resort to such base means to
retain their position-and they are too
well reared to do it were it required at
their hands-hence they are never deal
ing in denunciations and anathenas, but
appealing to the voice of reason, trusting
i'll this as more effective weapon for the
carrying eta measure
1t is the same with southern men who
chance to adopt free principles. They
are ever found the most ultra and the
most vindictiye class of anti-slavery men
we meet with.
Such persons on both sides-in very
large majority of cases-are not what
they profess to be; they are antislayery
or pro-slavcry men i'll disguise, and only
resort to those vile means with the view
of accomplishing their purposes. We
respect honest-minded southern men,
and love to make their acquaintance; but
u renegade who becomes fanatical and
plays the demagosue, We despiSe, as we
do his arts, because he is false to his
manhood.
