House of Representatives, Of the next Con-
gress will be largely Free Soil or Anti-Ne-
braska. The pro-slavery laws Of the bogus
Legisla ture will be rejected, and without
Congressional sanction, they are not valid
and the contest will then be on accepting
the Constitution presented BY the Free State
people. This Free State Constitution may
pass the House, but not the Senate. But the
effect will be as disastrous to Missouri and
the South. Kansas will be left to anarchy
The slavery that is there will flee from it
and perhaps even the slave property of Wes-
tern Missouri give way under the panic, and
seek safety in The cotton fields and sugar
| plantations of Texas. ..
1t has been the common opinion with
thoughtless persons and thick headed bullies
Of the West, that the Northern and Eastern
men will not fight. Never was greater
mistake The sons of New England and of
the Middle States do not like to fight. They
would rather work-plough h-build towns,
railroads money, and raise families,
Remember, the sons Of New England shed
the first blood in the American Revolution,
and they were the last TO furl their flags IN
that terrible struggle. They have never dis
graced their country by cowardce, and they
will not. They are Americans with spirit,
courage, endurance, and deep love Of liber
ty, to animate them. The Free State men
in Kansas will fight before they will be dis
franchised and trampled on. Mark the word.
Here comes, then, the suicide of Slavery
The outrages committed BY Atchison and
his fellows in the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and by Stringfellow and his follow
ers in subjugating Kansas to nonresident
rule, will bring on a collision, first in Con-
gress and then IN Kan8as-and who shall tell
the end
Slavery will never sustain itself in bor-
der State by the Sword. II may conquer in
some respects but it can never conquer
peace" Never never Once light the fires
of internecine war in defense of Slavery,
and it will perish while you defendit. Slave
holders will not stay to meet the fight. Prop
erty is timid and the slaves will be sent to
Texas to be in safe place" while the fight
lasts and as soon as the slaves are gone it
will be found that Missouri has nothing to
/ fight about, and the fight will end " before it
begins
Thus the Slavery propagandists who re
pealed the Missouri Compromise TO make
Kansas Slave State, will make Missouri
! free and in endeavoring to cxpel Abolition
/ ism from Kansas, they will find both Kan
sas and Missouri with an entire free white
popuation-worth more to the two States
than all the negroes in America.
! Is not the Kansas outrage thu suicide OF
Slavery? Have not the people of Missouri,
interested in the preservation Of Slavery III
the State, bro't themselves into desperate
ipredicament by following the insane coun-
sells of Atchson and StringfelLow?
The Lake Superior copper mines are esti-
moted to produce this year 4l00 tons Of cop.
per. The most productive appears 70 be the
Cliff mine, which is rated at 1900 tons, and
next to it is the Minnesota mine, rated al
1000 tons, followingit the North American,
at 500 tons. Copper at the mines is Ss400
per ton, making sum total Of Sl,64O,0O0
as the value of this years copper from that
region, against an expenditure of $4,000, 900,
or deficit of &s36000O. This does not look
like very profitable business. but the cop
