Kansas weekly herald., 1855-06-15

We were also told by Mr.. Osborn that a
paper-a filthy incendiary Abolition sheet,
of course-is soon to be started at Manhat-
tan, and that the man who is engaged to
preside over its columns is now confined in
ijail in Cincinnati, on a charge of collecting
money under false pretences. This is said
to be real fact.
We are aware that our readers will en-
quire who is this Mr.. Osborn, and what
has he done to cause the Manhattan COM
pany to treat him so unjustly and inhuman-
| ly2
Mr.. Osborn is a young man originally
| from New York, if we mistake not, highly
respected and esteemed, lawyer by pro-
| fession, and was at one time connected
with this paper in the capacity of editor.
He seems to have been guilty. of no offence
that would even extenuate such an out
rage. He tells us that the Manhattan
Town Company had no cause for taking
such violent and outrageous steps with him
and the only excuse they plead, is that Mr..
Osborn was an intruder, which he assures
us was not the case. We are inclined to
believe Mr.. Osborn was driven away on
account of his being strong advocate and
Jealous supporter of the institution Of sla-
very.
This is not the first time that pro-slavery
men have been outraged in similar man
ner by the presumptous and oVerbearing
fanatics from the North, who come among
us with the view that they will dictate to Us
where pro-slavery-men shall settle. and
tell US what parts of Kansas shall be for
hidden fruit with all Southern men.
We have forborne with the Abolitionists
of Kansas, till forbearance ceases TO be a
a virtue. Let us no longer submit to such
gross and arbitrary assumption of power.
Let us no longer allow our rights in this
territory to be trampled upon with impuni-
ty. Let US no longer submit passiyely to
such daring and fragrant outrages as have
been recently committed by northern Abo-
litionists on pro-slavery men. Let US no
longer allow the best and most fertile sec
tons Of our Territory to be made the re-
ceptacle of only such paupers and convicts
as are pouring in upon US through the au-
spices of the internal New England Aid
Societies. Let US no longer be domineered
over by such Sinking cdrcases and taagless
cut-throats as are focking here from the
jails, garrets, alleys and cutters of Eastern
Cities. IF we are to be governed by the
flats of such men, and our institutions to
be moulded by such rabid fanatics, our po-
litical fabric must be hurled into chaos and
ruin, and our fair land cursed like that of
Sodom and Gomorrah. Let US arouse
pro-slavery men from this spirit of inactivi-
ty. Our country demands it. A constant
vigil should be kept over the sly move
ments-and the insidious maneuvers of the
abolitionists who are at work, as Col. Ben
ton once said in the Halls of Congress,
"aDuh the devI IN their heads, and hell n,
their hearts"
The case of Mr.. Osborn demands the
consideration of our party. We believe
that he has been dealt with severe
ly and unfairly, and that his friends
should come to the defence and mainten-
ance of his inalienable rights. Letmeetings
be held and forces raised for the purpose
of replacing him in the possession of his
claim. Let the vile, dishonest and infa-
NOUS abolitionists be made to know that
they are not, as yet, or never will be, mas
tiers Of the virgin soil of Kansas. Let
Justice be done IN this case, though the
Heavens should fall.
