Daily American organ. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1856, 1855-06-30
Kansas and tho renny Post.

The Penny Post, published at Richmond,
Virginia, in liz leader Of Thursday last, den,urs
10 tho claim Of tho american organ to be
considered tho Organ Of the American party
Tho demurrer brings the question directly be-
sore the American party for decision.---
When legally decided, we shall submit to this
authority. eas
Tho Post proceeds to i" tell tho Organ that
tho people Of the South regard their rights and
Institutions more warmly than they do the
success Of any party" This is no news to US,
! nor do we think tho Post can tell US anything,
ID respect to the opinions or feelings Of the
South, which we do not already know, quite
h. well as the Post itself We are always
p;,ased to learn facts, Of which we nre igno-
rant, but repetition Of whatwe already know,
10 the shape Of rendered information, is Of but
Little service tas@ &
Several portions Of the Same article In the
Post are Of the same unimPortant character,
cnd for tho same reasons 4i n aisg8
The Reputation Of the organship Of the Or
ran BY the Post neither surprises nor alarms
u. We do not expect that press, which itself
,eehsto take the lead in the American party,
~iil acknowledge another rs ita leader, nor do
we think the Organ win suffer much FROM such
liquidation. As 20 ths lullaby" to the Abo-
ltionists, sung by us in the declaration, that
Kansas will be free State, it was only repeated
by US, after having been previously sung in the
National Council by nutics born Virginians,
az the highest character for intelligence; one
rsorcssnting Virginia, and the other Missouri,
=, which song many other Southern members
united. and to which not one Southern man
offered demurrer.
II the Post wishes 10 pick quarrel on this
question, with any one it can find plenty of
antagonists nearer horne
But says the Post;
.Kansas can l,e slave State II will apply for
admission into the Union with slavery constitn-
don. and IL the pledges Of the American party TO
X,uth are redeemed, IL will be admitted Al slave
STATE and 80 remain until greater epoch than the
present 10 inaugurated"
The Post hss right TO its opinion, that
Kansas viii apply for admission as a slave
STATE. We have right TO our opinion, that

Kept I'D. But, has the Post discovered in the
Organ, or in the propositions OF its editor,
anything leading it to the conclusion, that If
Kansas were prepared, by requisite popula-
don, and by it's legitimate action, to demand,
and should demand admission a. slave State,
the Organ would oppose such admission
Tho Post win not surely make sny such as.
se1tion, for It would be at war with cur eI'
prsssed opinions on this point and would be,
sor that reason, inconsistent with the truth.
We discover nothing in the above extract from
the Post, but the assertion Of an opinion, that
Kansas can and viii be a slave State We do
not object TO this as an opinion, but our opin-
ION is directly the opposite. Who is right 7
Let time decide that question. Men always
have differed, and always will differ, on con-
,;ugent results. II Kansas wishes slavery, We
ps.all mover oppose it II the contrary, let the
Post, 10 Ike manner, soquiesce. Slavery else-
