| Kansas.
We fear, from what ne learn from
Kansas exchanges, that there are prO-sla.
very men In Kansas, who believe that
their cause will be benefited by setting
the. authority ofAGov. Gsary at defiance
when It suits them to do so-that is when
his impartial administr alton of the law
bears upon some ragamuffin, who expect he
pro-slavery declaration to shield his yillany
Such men are the auxiliaries most highly
valued by aboiitionists; and their lawless
manifestations. which exasperate enemies
| and disgust their best friends, are, more
than augh. else. calculated to make Kan
sas free State. We must have quiet in
Kansas to make it slave State, because
civil disorder will prohibit the introduction
of slaves and their retension when there.
| The question with northern and southern
traitors, in Kansas and out of it. Is net 80
| much that it shall be free or slave slave
State, but that it may be used to ailienats
the pespis and destroy the Union.-B Boom
vi!ls 10. Observer.
All things infected that the infected spy,
| as all look yellow to the iaunii:'d eye.
In these lines the gifted Pope enuncia-
ted a great troth, which can now be ap.
piled with peculiar appropriateness to
to the editor of the Boonvills Observer"
whose scurrilous production heads this ar
t;cle. Pope mus, have had just such
man in his minds eye, when he penned
these lines. For an editor, who prates
such stuff as that contained in the extr act
from the I" Observer" to talk about others
'' alternating the people and destroying
the Union" is, to Us, farrago Of non-
sense, stupidity, ignorance, and audacity
The duplicity. dessimulation, and equivo-
cation of a few Southern, seeming to- be-
pro-slayery editors, are not only doing the
pro-slavery party In Kansas incaleulable
harm-but also are doing more to dissolve
The Union than Giddlngs, Hale, Seward,
and Sumner, with their hosts of followers
at the North. There are few specimens
pro-slavery editors in Missouri and 9TH
er pro-slayery States, who have certa inly
mistaken their climes-they would surely
find an atmosphere more congenial to
their tastes and principles in the streets of
Cincinatti OF Boston.
When we find the edit or of professed
pro-slavery Journal, ina prosIavery State,
knowingly and wl!fully belching forth lam
guage and Sentiments like unto those of
the editor Of the Observer" we are
forced to come to one of the following
conclusions-to wit: That he has strong
linking towards the " wollies," or that his
cranium is so soft that boiled turnip
might be pushed through it. There is no
telling precisely atwholn the SO Observers"
editor is hitting. He pours his broadside
at the whole party, cautiously avoiding
the use of names. The "Squatter Sow
ereign" has spoken quite independently on
the subject Of Gov. Geary's course, and,
perhaps. the '.Obsever" is offended be-
cause we do no, bend the "plian! knee"
to the iron rule Of Governor, who as
sumes TOO much authority. The Squat
ter Sovereign" is generally quick in de-
tecting the crafty movements OF those who
would stab us in the dark, or under the
disguise of friendship, sell US to our sne-
mics. We represent and uphold a party
who have 81 the intelligence to understand
their rights. and the spirit to maintain
theni." Hence we cannot expect the ed
itor of the Z" Observer to cherish feel
ings Of love and fraternity for US.
Our paper. ever On the alert, has al
ways been prominent In discovering
and exposing thoss who would betray the
pro-slavery party. 1t was the first TO de-
tect and condemn the .reachery of Reed
er and the incapacity of Shannon, and,
without hesitation their disqualification
was made public. The viilany of one
and the weakness of the other were held
up to the public eye, until the voice OF an
injured and outraged people, compelled
the removal of both OF them from
office. President Pierce was plsased to
give US another and third Governor from
Free State; to preside over and admin
lister the laws OF Territory which belong
to the South by :. Treaty and Deed, Seal
ed instruments of writing; which oft re-
peated act of the President cannot be re-
garded In any other light than wilful in-
suit to the South perpetrated Ia utter dis
regard of her right and institutions
This New Governor comes to the Terri
tory with :. honeyed words" on his tongue.
We have seen cause to condemn several
of his acts. Faithful sentinels OF Southern
rights, we shall keep an eagles eye on
