RATHER TALL TALK.

Gen. Stringfelow, editor of the Squatter Sovcr-
eign, prO-savery paper in Kansas, Is in for a
general massacre of the anti-savery men who have
settled there He loudly clamors for vengeance on
the whole set of abolitionists because of them,
following the true southern fashion, shot down a
pro-slayery lawyer from whom he received a siun-
ming blow. Stringfellow is hearty tcllow-wOrl.
er of Atchison, the vice President of the United
Statea, in the scheme Of invad ng and conquering
Kansas. But hear him.
''The blood of the murderer will not satisfy us.
That would be placing too little estimate on
the life Of our deceased friend. "Blood .t0r Glo9I'
but for each drop spilled, shall require one
hundred fold For every honest man that is slain,
let n score of aboitionists suffer. We call for
settlement of this alair-let make examples
of such outlaws, and their sympathizers. until our
fair Territory is ridden of such curse-uutl hon
est men can walk the streets of towns, without
the fear of being attackediby northern cut-throats
and hired assasSins until our homes and fire
sides be made from the torch of the in
ccndiary, and our slaves 'be permitted to remain
with in quetude and coutentment. AS long rs

currcnces will be numerous, both here and in Mis-
souri,. Let us begin to purge ourselves Of all
! Abolition emlssarics who occupy our dominion,
and give distinct notice that all who do not leave
Immediately for the east, WILL LEAVE FOR ETER-
NIFTY"
This editor Stringlellow is little in advance
of Rev. Mr. Brownlow, editor of the Tennessee
/ Wing, who says:
The true hearted citizens of East Tennessee
and property holders ought to enter into leagues
and whip black, and ride ON q rail irrespective OF
age, calling or family associations every preacher

a party that asks of the South such selfstultf-
cation as this--such blind betrayal Of ali that is
valuable dear, for the sake of the Union or any
thing else, makes q demand which she must reject
with scorn and defiance. The question of Amcri-
can politics cannot be passed in silence by any
party which aspires to govern the country. lts
very silence will be its loudest accuser of intended
treachery to the South. From such an orCaniza-
ton, if successful the North would come out
mighticr than ever for the Federal Government,
through which it expects to effect its purposes of
abolition would be completely in its power. For
Southern men, therefore, to uccept such proposal
is not only to surrender their rights to the mercy
of their eEemes, but crown them with power to
overwhelm and crush them.
What then do the necessities Of the South re-
quirc at the hands cf every party bidding for her
support? What has she right to demand? Not
Silence not suspicious reserve, but full and explicit
declarations in her favor upon the issues which
are before the country. If they intend to be true
to her, let the assurance be given. Let them come
up and meet fairly the Fugitive Law, the Missouri
line, and the Kansas questions, and declare in the
face of the world whether they "be with US or
against us" But if the North refuses to do this
it will be because she no longer regards rights
our favors or our threats, and because, believing
herself strong enough, she has resolved to sweep
on to the iulflmcnt Of her long settled policy.

THE LET-ALONE PROCESS.

"The best way to treat the slavery question is to
let it alone" say the quietists But how can we
let it alone? 1t will not let us alone. How can
Kansas he let alone without yielding it to despot-
ism? How can the question of the right of slave
holders to hold their human property in the free
States be let alone without making the whole
North responsible for slaveholding? How can tn Q
question of returning fugitves be let alone with
out exposing to peril every freeman of the North,
whom cupidity or caprice may claim as a runaway
How can we let alone the question whether we
shall annex all the land that joins US, together with
the isles of the sea- for the sake Of furnishing new
plantations and new political power to the 350,OOC
Shareholders who have hitherto controlled tho
nation?
'"Dut Danish the subject from politics" 1t will
not stay vanished. Call the American Congress
together, and how long will it be ere they must
act on some of these questions, arising directly
out of the relation of the Federal government tc
the slave States? So long all the northern rep
resentatiyes tamely yield to every demand Of the
South, so long we had no peace; but when John
Quincy Adams, Joshua r. Giddings, and John.p
Hale, ventured to claim supremacy for freedom in
the national government, then the strife begun
And now we have got to fight it ont, or sink TO {
