| E9 Steamers have been landing at our
wharf the past week, and filing over @the
gang-way. We see men armed, hot with
axes and pruning hooks, or the instruments
| of ,husbandry, but each one with his pat
ent revolving rifle, or doubIe-barrelIed shot
gun in hand. We ask, what does all this
mean? Where do these foreign-looking
Hnportations come from2 And, above all,
do tell us for what is all this parade Of fire.
arms?
We soon learn. that these men came from
the northeast. That their only "earthty
Eobject'' is to keep the western and southern
pioneer from enjoying his rights of proper
fly in Kansas Territory. Yes, fellow citi-
zens, these menurged on by capital in New
ENGLAND, are here to deprive you of those
rights bought by the blood Of your fathers.
The God-feating and order-loving south-
ern people have borne much. But the sons
Of the West will never see their birth-right
snatched from. them by foreign hands, and
thus made the heritage of hireIing paupers
and slaves, sent from every part of the
world .6
Justice and right will ever have the God
of Heaven with them, and we need not
ffear. 1t is true the insidious foe IS at won k
let us not be idle. Evil in the world
and remedy for the evil, seems TO be a
law in the enconomy of both moral and
physical nature. That great moral lep-
rosy Is, threatening the body polite, no one
who thinks will not see and acknowledge.
The remedy or procurative for this evil (the
abolitionizing of our next door neighbor)
is to advance this emigration from the south
and west. We learn that many Of these
people emigrating 10 the territory come
from the home of him who has disgraced
the office Of Governor of Kansas Territory
and gentleman on board of one of the
boats informed US that these emigrants
boasted of their coming out to beat out the
Missourians; and that they knew of the
election long before the people in the Ter
ritory; they boasied Of having the Govern
or as their leader, and all understand his
designs in delaying the election. In this
we have a spectacle the most alarming and
/ disgusting: that of an officer, occupying a
high trust, making his office an instrument
Ito carry out the most unworthy designs.
We have a willy foe TO deal with. Many
plausible and expeeious arguments they
will use; they are paid to come and, talk
you out of your liberties. They will speak
scornfully of the 'sslave power" They
viii tell the honest poor man that she may
Enever owna slave IN his life, - as ifhe might
not suppose the same probability about his
owning horse or a COW. They are hired
TO talk plausably about freedom, liberty, and
free institutions. As ifthe freest, happiest
and most glorious institutions In the world
are not to be found where lived and died
] Washington, and Henry, and Jackson, and
Clay.
/ We heard a very old lady,the other day,
speaking ofthe emigration pouring into the
Territory, say: Americana will not be
run over by these foreigners" the senti-
ment finds an echo responsive in every hon
est heart, and though there are some mis-
cradle exceptions deserving the hemp; yet
when the West is thoroughly awake she
will stand in solid column and can meet the
world of fanatics.- Kan. City Enter.
