FAR as il concerns him personally.
We need not state at this late day that the Mis-
sourisns desire 10 make Kansas Slave State
OF course they are doing their best to accomplish
this object They rushed into Kansas in armed
multitudes, and went through the farce Of elect
ing Territorial Legislature as the first step to-
ward securing their aims. But having done this
and having no other business there, they have
gone home, leaving the country as it was before
their incursioD, extending its broad unoccupied
acres under genial and inviting climate open
to all who may desire to find home therein.
What was proposed to be done toward making
Kansas Slave State has been done 30 far as
this years operations are concerned. Before
smother election comes round we have
. right to expect that Congress will do its duty
in tic premises, and iii does not restore the u-
hibition of Slavery, which we judge it Will find
itself compelled to do to insure the peace of the
country, it will put stop in the future to such
outrages as the last election witnessed. When
the rights Of the residents are restored BY keep
ing interlopers from the polls we may anticipate
that the affairs of legislation will fall into the
hands of those who desire e. make the Terrific
torys Free state, and who comprise, we believe,
even now majority of the settlers. Ii the at
tempts 10 preeipitate the conclusion of this
Slavery stampede are properly resisted, time
will thus cure the evils that now threaten the
infant settlements. All that is needed Is time
to allow the emigration from the Free States 70
get in in order TO Gust the shareholders from
their temporary possession, even in the event OF
Congress falling to restore the Territory to
Freedom.
Thus there is nothing to deter the instant and
constant progress of Northern emigration into
Kansas, either in its present position or future
prospects. No Lindorances exist that should ior
h moment stop the steady, silent flow OF the
streams Of population from all quarters. Inc
emigrants have only TO pour in and pitch their
tents wherever they find the most attractive
spots for their future homes. No distractions
exist TO prevent the settler from planting him
self wherever his inclination prompts
As TO the vague threats which are occasionally
heard and trumpeted through the Press, that the
organized band Of brigands and cut-thrOats which
entered Kansas from Missouri and carried the
last election stand read! TO oppose, aud if ne
cessary expel the emigrants Who desire to make
it Free State, they sre idle and absurd. As
We have said, we believe the majority OF the
emigrants who have already established them.
selves in Kansas are for making it Free State,
and will hold fast to their purpose until suGi-
cient reGnforcemcnts enable them to carry
out their designs. The effort OF the slave
holders now is to magnify the opposition to
Freedom in Kansas by all manner ofexaggeration,
and so deter emigration from the Free States.
Seyen-eighths Of the stuff We hear about the in
tentions of the Atchison crew, seycn-eighths of
their loud talk about throwing people into the
Missouri River, aud of lynching and the like,
is gas and buster. Atchison and his worthy lieu
tenant, StriDgtelow, are both well understood
TO be arrsnt towards who will stop threatening
the moment they are resoutely faced. All they
contemplate doing is to worry and alarm timid
people, and try, under cover of their bludgeon
talk and air, to get Slavery Constitution i'm
posed upon Kansas Their schemes can be
electually thwarted without difficulty and with
out collision so far as the emigrants are con-
eerned. All that is necessary is to outyote
them If the marauders attempt any Of their
threatened violence in any quarter, the United
States Government must interpose and try the
virtue of the cold steel of the regular troops by
way Of reducing their belligerent temper.
We have no doubt that the first effort 10 do this,
if it shall be necessary to do il at ALL will be
effectual.
We repeat that when the villains from Missouri
who entered Kansas and elected a Legislature
for the Territory had accomplished this object
they returned to their homes They are now
scattered over the State wherever a whisky
barrel can be found on tap, and no longer dis
grace Kansas with their presence. During the
present season their services will not be again
wanted, and We have a right to expect that be-
fore another year Congress will interpose the ne
eessary guards TO prevent repetition of their
crime. Meantime Gov. Reeder will return to
his post; and although the system Of threat aud
buster will be kept up, We presume he Will
regularly administer affairs and be sustained b.
else of his authority.
Let the emigration 70 Kansas then go on IN
disturbed by the clamor of the AtehisOn and
Stringfeilow e.ew, whose motives for il all are
well known 10 be selfish and venal and
have been fully exposed in our columns. Let
the emigrant everywhere, seeking new home,
20 To Kansas, where be will find Natures boun-
ties existing in lavish profusion; where salu-
biity Of climate and fertility Of soil combine to
make country than which none more delightful
and inviting can be found in al our unoccupiei
