SLAVES IN KANsAs.-WithIn a month
past there has been large accession to
the Slave population OF Kansas. In this
Immediate neighborhood several new COM

brought several Slaves with them. This

brought into the Territories in too large
numbers, for our rich hemp lands will give
sufficient employment to the slave. aud

Hon. David R. Atchison
.isunion.
Of Missouri.

Digunion.
1t seems that an article which appeared
in this paper, about month since, has
given the Aboli,ionists of Missouri and
New York. great satisfaction. We refer
to the article headed .Fa 'iicity ofthe New
York Tribune" in which the following
sentence occurs. .For We confidently hope
that the last national Congress may meet
in Washington on the first Monday in De-
cenber next" ~ .s4-sY
This precious sentence, containing the
subject matter Of hundreds Of columns IL
the Abolition papers, which said hundred
columns, have, shaken the nerves Of ten
thousand good old Ladies, till the names
Of Atchison and Stringfeilow are used to
frighten the fifty thousand children of the
ten thousand respectable ladies above
named. whenever they are naughty. This
seemed SO sweet morsel that we Were
unwilling to take it from "under the
tongues" Of our Abolition friends till they
had "rolled" it there sufficiently. But it
Is duty we owe ourselves. the Pro-Slave-
ry party. and Gen. Atchison, that we ex-
plain how it was published as Editorial in
our columns.
The Senior Editor was at that time at
tending the sitting Of the Legislature a
hundred miles off as member, and never
saw the article till it was, ten days old, and
urges every line he has written since he
has been connected with the "Sqatter Sow
ereign," as evidence that he entertains
no such sentiment as is found IN the SEN
tence above quoted. The junior from the
sickness of the hands in the Office, had to
attend to the mechanical department dur
ing that week. and young gentleman
who was assisting in the office wrote the
article. and it was set up without having
undergone THAT revision which it should
have received. |: is proper to state, THAT
the gentleman who wrote the article pro.
bably never saw Gen. Atchison in hi:
life.
We will say this in addition. First, we
are as much devoted to the Union as an,
men should be. We will never give ou
consent to its dissolution. till there is nj
longer any chance for he'South to receive
Justice at the hands Of the General Gov
ernment. But when the time arrives tha
the Fanatical portion of the Free State
obtain such an ascendency, as to preclude
any longer the hope Of fair and Just legis
lation. the rights Of the Southern State
no longer respected, then, and not till then
are we prepared to cry out for instant Dis
solution.
We expect TO ask ofthe Congress whicl
i. next to be elected, admission into th'
Union as Slave State, when we do, ant
shall be refused, as is threatened, then w
are for setting at defiance the .Norther'
Gorrrnment, and hope and believe th'
whole South will be with us.

ANOTHER OurRAGE.--One OF the
hirelings OF the Abolition party, who has
been very busy during the past week post
ing up and distributing the free-soil call
for second election. and also notice for
the holding of meetings in the different
counties to frame q free State Constitution,
insulted our citizens, by attempting to put
up some Of the aforesaid bills in this place.
He was ''caught in the act," and large
roll of his contraband goods taken from
him and burned before his eyes. It was
with the greatest difficulty that some of our
citizens were prevented from hanging the
culprit; but he was permitted to return af-
ter FIRST denying any knowledge of the
contents Of the bills, and promising to ''sin
no more" He mounted his horse, and
instead Of going to the upper part Of the
Territory. as be was paid to do, he started
for home; going through Missouri, rather
than travel on this side of the River and
risk himself in the hands of the indignant
Squatters of Kansas. This fellow halls
from the vicinity Of Leavenworth City,
where his masters will no doubt be indig-
nant at his treatment. We think he has
cause to congratulate himself on lucky
escape from punishment he so Justly de-
served. Let future emissariss beware
