.The settlement of this territory has hsen,
and will yet be, the sceneoEa krea. stFpsJ
gle between abolitionists, freesojlers and .ep!
ponents of the, sovereign rights Of, the peo-
pie on the one side, and Southern Repdbli-
cans On the other side. Oae great battle
has already besn fought, iurMhich Northern
|hirelings were scattered like ehaf before the
wind, and the. Republican flag left floating
in triumph over the field. But our friends
in Kansas must not suffer victory to hull
them into security. They have sleepiess
foe to contend against. On the opening
of navigation, fanaticism will pour into
their beautiful territory hordes of Abolition
lists TO make war upon their interests and
the interests Of the whole South. III is well
understood that extensive associations exist
in the Northern States, for the purpose of
buying up their sovereign people to go to
Kansas, These men, thus bought, are
Sworn to go 10 Kansas, not as bona ede set
tiers, but simply to go there andsote against
slavery and pro- slavery men. This war
began first with the people of the North;
they first began the work OF cotonizing
Kansas, whilst Tie South lay quiet and in
active. We ask, VIII the South quietly
submit to this and see Kansas abolitionised
without struggle! We believe not-thus
far she has not. No s'Emigrant .4id So
ciet;es" exist in the South, nor Il any need
ed. Hundreds of Southern men are AREA
dy in the Territory. and We are informed
that thousands more ariU be there, in the
Spring, from Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Missouri, and other slave States.
At this time shere is a large majority Of
pro-slavery men In Kansas, and if the en-
igration there from the South next Spring,
shall be equal to what it was last Fall, that
majority will be greatly increased. We
therefore say to the people Of the South,
who desire to emigrate to Kansas, yet hes
itate on account Of . supposed insecurity Of
slaye property there-fear not, but remove
at once to that beautiful territory, and take
your slaves with you.l Where a,e the
Hemp growers of Kentucky, with their
worn-out hemp lands? Where are the
men Of the SSath who desire homes in lux
uriant West2 Now is the time and oppor-
tunity for you to acquire as rich lands as lie
west of the Mississippi-lands adapted to
the culture of Hemp and Tobacco.
= Make Kansas a free state, and away go
| the cherished institutions ef Missouri and
Arkansas; ane thus an inroad will be made
upon the political power Of the South, which
she will never be able to recover. What
such calamity would lead to, requires no
prescience to tell. Give the North the po-
litical power in the Federal Government,
and there is nothing short of the total abo-
lition of slavery that would satiate Its wide
spread fanaticism. 1t is our solemn con.
lvietion that the moment the equilibrium be-
tween the North and South shall be DESTROY.
ed In favor Of the North, the bonds of cur
glorious Union will sever like ropes made
of sand. But our fears are groundless, for
the question may be considered as settled,
that Kansas tsn naislave Territory, and that
Kansas soiU beia slave State.-Le1ington
