THE KANSAS DIFFICULTY.

with MICH in her character to admire, has eXhlbe

people. In her early history, fud this sp'r
blended with religious enthusiasm aud puritan
cal though cruel morality. Her religious perSec"'lo
and her gross superstitions were overoaiahceu I'LL
stoued for by the general purity OF lie when 81
displayed Now, without having lost any oil her IN

When this latter element is in the ascendant she i

or her fanatics WELD power, she insults nuns, hang
witches and Quakers berays and abuses her country
and stirs up civil war. She will be one of the
nobest or the meanest States in the Union. The Hiss
Legislature and the Kansas treason are the loves
depths of baseness into which, in the regular altcrna
lions of her policy, she has yet plunged. May we moi

should not permit themselves 10 be embroiled in civil

than a thousand miles from Kansas is not at all in

in the character of their ne hbors. 1t was ma
tul, too, that emigration should proceed from those
States to kalsa,-it was contrary to nature, common
sellse, aud common policy, that emigration from Mas

the neddesome Marplots OF Massachusetts, and leave

Emigration conducted naturally and fairly from North
or South TO Kansas, we shall not complain Of; bu:
this ilibustering OF little Of Boston fanatics
AGAINST the whole South, is wantonness Of insult
and injury that should be sumnarily avenged and
punished To suffer it to pass 'unwhiiped of Justice
would disgrace our whole country.
We repeat this is no quarrel between the North
di.soving this Union by Boston fanatics.snd their
willing tools. Northern men and Southern men have
hitherto settled and lived peaceably side by side
Either the kne OF the Union is now to,linS i'll kau-
sas or i. is the sound Of the tocsn sumnonnS hon

traitors. No society earth will submit to the rs
cendaucy of such men. A natural and superior inl-
migration from the North may occupy and rule Kan
sas but these wretches were formed by nature FOL
drudges, hirengs and slaves, not for rulers. Fana
tics OF BostOn! mischevous Marplots rs you are
you are neither towards, slaves nor tools-f you
would have Kansas, you must come and take it,
they are the sort Of who conquer rule
pires.
The factious, impertinent interference Of Boston
in the affairs Of Kansas admits Of excuse or pal
ation. Nc possible injury could result to her from
its settlement by Shareholders, and great injury
would certainly accrue to Missouri and Arkansas, il
occupied by lawless and unprincipled free soiers-
Boston well knows all this: she intended a war mea
sure and therefore sent the worst Of her popua,o,
to harrass and rob the industrious Southern settlers
and to decoy slaves from the nrighboring States
We do hope that all conservatives at the Nortl
will this matter in its proper light, and unite will
thu South to rcbuke and punish this attempt at dis
union, this domestic fillibusterug.
