The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-05-12

q
SThe St. LoaisP Pilot, an ultra fire-eat-
ing Journal of the Atchison school, thus
tslks about matters IN Kansas. There
seems to be strong symptems of alarm
Would it NOT aid the movement to hang
an "Abolitionist,. or destroy another
press? Every movement of the kind has
It's influence, and as eastern people are
such eonsummase eoaaards, probably they
would keep out of the country ifa few of
their number were hung. or lynched.-l
But to the Pilots article
I'VE greatly fear that those of our
friends In the western counties who inn
agine that the question of slavery or no |
slavery in,Kansas has been settled by the
result of the late election are doomed to |
sore disappointment. On subject Of
such vital interest to them, and to ihs /
counties on the western border, it is inl-
portant that they should not be deceived.
They should know the worst, and pre-
pare themselves for it. From the dis
patch which we copy from the New York |
Herald, from the resident agent in this
city, of the Emigration Societies, it is ap- |
parent that he is expecting large re-in-
forcements to those already forwarded
to Kansas. He ajvisesethe agenein New
York not to ship before the tenth of this |
month. He regrets the low stage of
water in the Missouri, which prevented
those who had been sent on this far from
being forwarded, SO that they might have
reached their place of destination in time
for the late election At the date of this |
dispatch, the day of election was known
here, and we have no doubt Governor
Reeder had informed Mr.. Slater of the |
time fixed for the election long prior to
that time. We may, therefore, look for
crowds of these people bound for Kansas
as soon as Mr.. Slater shall notify them
that he can ship them up the Missouri at
fair rates, and with good stage of wa
ter. This inference is strengthened by
what We have from othersources. From
a gentleman who processes to know all
about their movements, and who is one
among thousands in this city who have
grown rich from the business Of slave
holders and Missourians, but yet who
sympathises ineyery anti slavery scheme,
we hear that these associations have at
their command both men and money
sufficient to accomplish their Objects
He estimates the number of emigrants
that will come from New England alone
at 90, 600, and they all haze a preference
for 4asasos ouer Nebraska. Their plan
is not to show their strength until they
have the game in their own hands, and
then they will make such a demonstra-
ton that not a slave will be left either in
Kansas or the, western counties, Such
are the calculations and the hopes of the
Abolitionists in ST. Louis and elsewhere" !"
The Richfeld Enterprise, in reply to
the above remarks from the Pilot, says:
awe would advise the citizens of
st. Louis to follow the example setby the
counties of Platte and Clay, and rid the
city of all such men as B. Slater. Teach
them the truth that the soil of Missouri
and Kansas is uncongenial to the propa
CATION of Ffeesoilism and Abolitionisn,
and that it is worse than foolishness for
them to obtrude themselves upon us, and
that we are determined our rights shall
not be tampered with by any such man.
If B. Slater was a citizen of Clay county,
he would never had dared dispatch such
news, and if he ad,-his reaoard would
have been hemp. We will be forced to
rid ourselves of all Freesoilers and Abo-
litionists, and the sooner the work is be-
gun, the better; the ball has been put in
motion by our neighbors of Platte, Clay
has followed suit, and we do hope thatits
motion will be increased until the last
dirty, contemplate Freesol Abolition
sheet in our State be broken down, and
their editors, together with all their en-
issaries, have been shipped back to thai
den of pollution from whence they came,
there to keep the company of Fred Doug
las and Burns who are so much tionized,
is decidedly preferred to their company
in this country" @
