Thus the slaveocracy speak of race oil men VINO
gave Britain all she has of Constitutional Liberty,
and TO HON Americans owe all they have not lost
of national freedom. Aud the sentiment thus ex-
pressed is unhappily but too general; might a.
most call it universal with those who are devoted 10
Slavery. Here il shows itself in the relentless AMI
mostly which furnishes the sad material for so many
tragedies. Men otherwise gentlemen, do not hes
itate at acts of vaiby and blood, and those whose
ufucnce and Intelligence ought to make them
checks on the ungoverned violence OF the more INT
crate and vicious, only use that power in MEETING
such minds to the most horrid and reckless acts;
and lest conscience should be a stumbling in
the way Of crime, it is drowned in the fumes OF In
toxicatiDg liquor.
In the same article to which have referred there
are appeals to the Pro-Slavery men to continue the
course of legal persecution now going on and which,
il is urged, will answer the purpose:
"Put the law in force-now-promptly, AMI we shall
soon lie rdded of then, as all communities have here
toiore been OF their scuIt"
What ia meant by the claw" here is not very
clear. Under the bogus laws, which are now being
for very little; and that which might elsewhere be
deemed virtue is here often visited with the death
penalty But even under the bogus laws there is
something specified as punishable. / suspect that
the law" alluded TO simply means the legal ma
chnery Of the Courts which, here, are indeed sufii-
cent to manufacture an indictment, or carry i!
through the various steps to conviction. Whatever
may be said on the subject, it is the presence ofhe
Free-State men in the Territory that is their crime
in the eyes of the FrO-Slavery men. Were the
Free. State men of Kansas in the Southern States,
they would be hated, despsed and outawed set;
and Pro-Slayery en- feel, or pretend to feel, that
Slavery has already been established in Kansas as
tle Bogus Legislature established it, Thus another
Territorial journal asks
Vbetber Southern men shall be forced by the votes
mostly of bsnd of traitors, robbers ana thieves, 10
remove from Kansas because cannot live here with
our property :!
The language held toward Free-State men in this
morsel is not very choice; but it is that of hatred
begotten of clashng interests. 1t exhibits the state
of feeling that exists
Atpresent Freedom is conquered in Kansas The
bogus Legislature established Slavery III point OF
fact and our Territorial authorities, backed by all
the military power of the nation, have declared that
these laws shall be enforced. The same bogus
council, and another Legislature equally bogus, are
about to assemble and complete what is lacking OF
Pro-SlayeIy legislation for Kansas. The Free
State movement has been violently suppressed by
the National Government and although it may re.
yye, and lift up its head in the struggle, yet it will
do SO under circumstances still less propitious than
it has encountered at any period in the struggle.
LEGAL persecution runs riot. Our Federal couHs
emulate the worst days of the Inquisition. Intimi
datiop has done it's work with many of the Free
state settlers. Emigration from the Free States
has been shut out during the greater part of this
s.asop. The Missouri River has been closed to
emigrants of that class, and every obstacle thrown
in the way Of the tedious overland route through
Nebraska and Iowa, both by Rufians and United
States officers. Free-State men have been muir
dered in open day. and there has neither been re-
dress, nor security against the recurrence of such
crimes. Free-State towns, and villages, and set
tiers houses have been burned and plundered, and
even now there are the first murmuring threats OF
another invasion.
Under such circumstances il may be rather sur
prsing that the Free-State cause has survived
al ALL or that a majority of Free-Stale settlers
should still be left upon the soil of Kansas Free
dom is hard to kill, ard the enterprise of settlers
from the Northern States clings to the rich soil and
future promise ofwealth, which bids fair TO make
good speculation; provided the difficulties are
.settled right They live ia hope, suffering and
trusting.
But in spite of all their wrongs, in spite of the
