Not Decided.

REMEMBER that the election on Tues
day next, decides whether freedom or
slavery is the fate of Kansas and Ne
braska, and all the unoccupied ter
ritory west of them-Eastern Er-
change, before election.
The election decided no such question.
We deny the right of the people, either
of the northern or southern States, to
decide the character of our institutions.
Missouri thought she had settled The
question, but she never committed a
greater blunder.
That Kansas was affected by the re-
cent election in the States, may be true.
but not true to the extent claimed,-
Five-sixths of our population are in
favor of freedom. The voice of that
large majority cannot be silensed.
Were Buchanan to rule the eounsr5
with the same iron rod used by Pierce,
he could not possibly make this slave
State.
Our hope is in a heavy Free State
emigration. This was felt to be the
case by the true friends of freedom, as
soon as the Congressional restriction
against slavery was broken down.
They commenced acting upon this hy-
pothesis, and must continue to act un-
til the end. With Congressional and
Presidential influence aginst us, we
must exert ourselves the more thorough
ly, and this we shall do, and are shall
triumph.
Politicians have decided" this vexed
question in Kansas several times but
it wont stay decided by them, for the
very good reason that legislation has
placed it in the hands of other men
than politicians. All the desire We
have for further legislation is a guard
which shall prove effective on the bal
lot-box. Close that against mob,
fraudulent, and nonresident votes, and
break down the infamous laws which a
mob Legislature has attempted to fasten
upon the country, and We shall close the
doors SO thoroughly against slavery
that it viii never be dreamed of for the
next century in this latitude.

Hope for Kansas.

The Washington City correspondent
of the New York Herald, under date of
Nov. 18th says it is now given out IN
Washington that Mr. Buchassau Is "a
taror Of The. admission Of Kansas as a
Free State. This enunciation of views
is attributed to the emphatic cxaes-
sion of condemnation of the course of
President Pierce in the late election.
Heaven grant that this is so that the
struggle against the slave power has al
ready resulted in SO glorious trianlph.
The election of Mr.. Buchanan will be a
cause of little regret, if he shall, as this
intelligence indicates, be sagacious
enough to recognise the indubitable
fact that the voice of the people is
against further extension of slavery
and that his election was attributable
solely to divisions in the opposition
The South, it is intimated, viii be
indignant, and JEFF. Davis Il Co.. will
endeayour to make counterpoise IN
the Senate by pouring emigrants into
Texas. and slicing off two additional
slave States there, but there are two or
three little troubles to be settled before
that can accomplished under :. sqaatter
sovereignty

The Crescent Mil.

We have just received descriptive
sheet of a new mill for grinding corn,
wheat, rye, DC, known as the CREscEsT
NM. J.B. CHADwlck. Esq. of StLoais,
who has introduced it into the West,
has shipped one to us. which we shall
recaive in few days. It is said to be
adapted to any kind of work, grinding
coarse or fine meal from corn, wheat, or
rye, and iseasily attached to a common
horse power, or other machinery run
ming with belt. 1t is provided with
east steel cob-breakers, for making cob
meal. and separators to be used for
grinding bread meal. We are not sure
but the new mill is destined to super
sede the LITTLE GIANT. The one for
warded us We have determined on at
taehing to our engine and set It running
for custom work this winter.

Kansas Territory embraces within
its limits 114,5sS square miles, or
-, 40, 100 acres. With almost every
acre susceptible of the highest cultiva-
ton, it is capable of containing pop
alation of one hundred and fifty mil
lions Of inhabitants, or five times the
present entire population of the United
States. With such immense capabili-
ties. who can think, for a moment, of
booming it to slavery, and filing the
land with the woes and lamentations of
those who are converted into chattels

lordlags, who wish to roll in luxury at
the expense Of the groans and tears of

The Browns.

We occasionally see our name, G..
W Brown, in eastern journals as the
murdered Brown The one 20 whom
they alIude was r. p BRowx. Esq, of
Leasenworth FREpERIck BRows. son
of JoHS BRows, Sen, was murdered at
Osawatomie. The Browns have figur-
ed conspicuousIy thus fas. in the history
of Kansas. None has fed from duty
in the hour Of danger, and none has
proved false to his professions. We
have no occasion to blush for the name
IN Kansas, and trust we shall not.

calling themselves Free State men,
who are engaged in horse stealing, and

properly of others, and if continued

State men sanction these outrages upon
the pro-siayery party, we hope they
will not complain if they, or their
friends suffer at the hands of their
enemies.
Every property holder and actual
resident of Kansas, let him belong to

horse thieves and murderers, with which

should have quiet. again. A Vigilance
Committee, made up of the members of
both parties, is-needed TO bring to jus
tiee those who are laboring night and
day, to bring about another collision
between the conflicting political parties.
We are conscious that many profess
ed Free State men will censure us for
asserting that members of our own par
ty are concerned in these outrages,
but we love justice and quiet to the
country more than their good will
No wrong-doer, belong to what party

We have neglected to chronicle the
fact that 0wEN LovEJoY, brother of the
murdered Rev. ELIJAH z. LoyEJoY, who
was killed in Alton nineteen years
ago the 9TH inst, while engaged in
defending the freedom of the press, is
elected to Congress, for the third Con-
gressionaf district in Illinois, by screen
thousand majority. Mr. Eoveioy oecu-
pies the same position towards slavery
that did the murdered man, nineteen
years ago. What a change in public
sentiment What revolutions are daily
transporting in'this great nation There
will be no more able or firm friend of
freedom in the 35th Congress. than
Hon. 0wEx LovEJoY, of Illinois.

@ We expressed an opinion in our
last, that the Lecompton Union was mis-
taken IN its assertion that the Free
State prisoners would be set at work
on the public buildings. The Union
has corrected itself in its last issue as
follows -
A MIsTAKE.-We stated in our last,
that it was very probable the eonvicts
under charge of Capt. Hampton would
be put to work soon, on the Capitol
building We gave this as a piece of
" town talk" for what it was worth,
without venturing an opinion as to It's
truth. We are requested by one of the
contractors to correct the mistake /; they
will not be employed in this useful way !;
we do venture this opinion, however,
that they are nuisance to the town,
and should be abated in some way
removal is the best plan.
