They Comet They Come!l
Gentlemen from the south eastern part
of the Territory report that there is a
heavy emigration to that portion of
Kansas this fall from Arkansas, and that
uH are free State men. They are per-
sons who have seen the evils Of slavery,
and, desiring 10 escape it, have come to
Kansas TO aid in making it free Safe
Those men report that emissaries come
into their country asking pro-slavery
men to emigrate to Kansas, and aid in
making tia slave State = They got no
volunteers for that purpose, as slave
holders were not such fools as to bring
their property into collision with
anii-siayery men. They would as soon
think of placing camphene in close prcx-
unity with fire, as their negroes by the
side of the Northern Pioneer, after such
powerful incentives had been employed
to excite him against shareholders and
their Institutions.
With all the efforts ofpro- slavery men
TO settle Kansas with shareholders, they
find it impossible to succeed. They
have preached crusade through the
South, organized Aid Societies to count
eract the influence of similar societies in
the North contributed thousands on
thousands of dollars to carry on their
work; imported voters and oyerrun our
polls hired men to settle in the country !:
resorted to all manner of violence and
braggadocio in short they have set in
motion every variety of machinery which
capital, ingenuity, numbers. and hellish
heart could invent, and yet they find all
these instrumentalities operating against
them. Their myrmidons have turned
against them and whipped them from
the polls their Legislature has passed
laws which has arrayed their own sup
porters against them, who win join as
heartily as any in hurting them from
power. Their violence has only strength
ened the arm of their enemy, and their
pl4ns of organization have been got hold
of, and are used by anti-slayery men as
weapon for the destruction of their
most cherished plans. Heaven and
earth seem combined to crush out the
institution, not only from getting a foot
hold in Kansas. but as true as there is a
heaven, tits reacting on Missouri, and
will as surely PROSTATE the citadel of
slavery there as time passes on.
Pro-slavery men may congratulate
themselves upon this result. as it was
they who aroused all the elements which
are arrayed against them, and set it in
motion. The pretence that Ell THAYER
d Co., with their Aid Companies. have
done all this is moonshine. E4I THAYER
saw no way of operating in Missouri. and
looked upon the abolition of slavery, to
our certain knowledge, as a progressive
movement which was far off in the future.
They looked to making Kansas and Ne
braska what the Missouri Compromise
made them. They did not see the re-ac-
tion in Missouri, nor the movement Just
now commenced in Kentucky but they
have commenced, and an over-ruling
Providence will make all work together
for good. We see visible display of the
Divine agency in every movement of our
border neighbors, and an ultimate glori-
GUS result. The maxim-"Whom the
gods wish to destroy they first make
mad"-is being verified in every day life,
and is believed by thousands who usually
place little confidence in heather oracles.
