The Kansas Perfdy-Shan the Bayonet be
the Slavery Law Of the Territories:
The Kansas policy Of the Pierce admnistra-
ton, of the democratic party, and the democratic
candidate for the succession, all other expedients
having failed, is the avowed policy now in ac-
tive operation, of making that Territory slave
State by force Of arms
Sentiments or opinions hostile to the extension Of
African slavery are treason in Kansas-treason by
various enactments of the spurious Mssouri-kan-
as egslature-treason, from the edicts and re-
cripts Of Mr.. Perce's law officers of the Terri
tory. and treason from the instructions of the adj
minisration to its Kansas Governors and military
commanders. This prevailing treason has at
ength become so unmanageable that the admins
tration has been driven to the last resort Of root

Nebraska bill would be interpreted a. an invita-

Kansas; but having thrust themselves in where
they were not wanted, and many Of them having
refused to 90 out according to orders from Mr..
Atkinson and his party, no other resource is left
than their expulsion or determination by fire and
sword.

occasional stray Methodist preacher; the shooting
and scalping Of an unfortunate Quaker or 20; the
violation Of female. here and there, suspected
Of abolition principles; the expulsion Of a score
or two Of free State settlers from their homes and
the seizure Of their houses, goods and chattels;
the occasional murder Of lawyer unsound on
the niger question. and the sacking and burning
Of two or three settlements that had dared to re-
sist the demands Of Mr. Pierce's rufiian officials
their rufIlan militia and ruiian posse oomtatus. A
wholesome sense Of fear and prudence, that
"better part OF valor," appears TO have restrain
ed the administration party In Kansas from
larger active operations for the present and 30
they have bit upon that ancient military custom
Of starving out the enemy. To this end a militia

the Missouri river all the way back to the land
