Atchison and st ringfellow, with their Missouri
followers, overwhelmed tho settlers in Kansas.
Drowbeat and bullied them, and touk the govern.
nent from their hands. Missouri votes elected
,he present body Of men, who insult public intel
ngenpe and popular rights by styling themselves
,ne Legislature OF Kansas This body of men
are heiping themselves to fat speculations by loca-
ting the seat Of government and getting town
lots for their votes. They are passing laws dis
iranchising all the citizens of Kansas who do not
believe negro slavery to be a Christian institution
ana a national blessing. They arc proposing to
punish with Imprisonment the uttorance of views
inconsistent with their own. And they are trying
10 perpetuate their preposterous and internal tyr
AMY by appointing for a term of years creatures
Oh their own, as commissioners in every county, to
lay and collect taxes, and see that the laws they
are passing are faithfully executed. Has this
age anything to compare with these acts in auda-
city?
The Frce.State men of Kansas have resolved
not to submit to this daring usurpation of a non
resident oligarchy. They have called a conven-
lion OF the people of Kansas, to meet in Septem-
Der next, and frame q constitution for their gov
eminent This movement will be supported by
thousands in Kansas, and it will rally and bring
to their aid the Northern States that have been
tor the time staggered and confused by the unto
ward events in Kansas.
The next Congress will find, then, this issue be-
lore them-a Free State Constitution presented by
one portion of the people of Kansas, and tho Pr O.
Slavery territorial laws of the present fraudulent
Legislature. The House Of Representatives of
the next Congress will be largely Free-Soil or An
t-Nebraska. The Pro-Slavery laws of the bogus
Legislature will be rejected, and without Congress
sional sanction they are not valid,-and the contest
will then be on accepting the constitution preseu-
ted by the Free-Soil people. This Free-State Con-
%stitution may pass the House, but not the Senate.
But the effect will be as disastrous to Missouri and
the South. Kansas will be left to anarchy. The

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 thought
less persons and thick-headed DULLES at the West,
that the Northern and Eastern mon will not fight,
Never was o greater mistake. The sons of New
England and of the Middle States do not Ike tc
fight. They would rather work, plough, build
towns, railroads, make money and raise families,
than fight. But fight they will, if need be. Re
member, the sons of New England shed the frs
blood in the American Revolution, and they were
the last to furl their flags in that terrible struggle
They have never disgraced their country by cow
ardice, and they will not. They are Americans
with spirit, courage, endurance and deep love O.
liberty to animate them. The Free State men ii
Kansas will fight before they will be disfranchiseC
and trampled upon. Mark the word.
Here comes, then, the suicide of Slavery. Thu
outrages committed by Atchison and his fellow
in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and b.
Stringfellow and his followers in subjugating Kan
sas to nonresident rule, will bring on a collision
first in Congress and then IN Kansas and VIII
shall tell the end
Slavery will never sustain itself in a borde
State by the sword. 1t may conquer in some re
! spects; but it can never conquer a peace'-never
%neverl Once light the fires of internecine war il
defense of Slavery, and it will perish while you
defend it. Shareholders will not stay to meet thu
fight. Property is timid, and the slaves will be
sent to Texas, to be in a safe State while III
fight lasts; and as soon as the slaves are gone i
will be found that Missouri has nothing to fgh
about, and the fight will end before it begins
Thus the Slavery propagandists who repealed
the Missouri Compromise 70 make Kansas a Slav
State will make Missouri Free; and in endeavorin,
to expel Abolitionism from Kansas, they will fin
both Kansas and Missouri: with an entire FIRE,
; white population-worth moro to the two State
than all the negroes in America.
Is not the Kansas outrage the suicide of Slavery
Have not the people of Missouri, interested in thu
} preservation of Slavery in the State, brough
] themselves into a desperate prelicament by follow
ing the insane counsels of Atchison and String
