free State:
WHAT THE FUTURE OF KAN
SAS SHOULD BE-OPINION
OF A MISSOURIAN.
From the Missouri Democrat, 2s inst.l
Considering Kansas in relation to
Missouri, we cannot hesitate in declar-
ing it is UNNECESSARILY better that she
should enter the Union as FREE
STATE. Every negro in Kansas occu-
pies the place of white laboring man.
There are about twenty-five thousand
Shareholders in Missouri, to eight or
nine hundred thousand non -slavehold-
ers, and if the interests Of the majority
are to be preferred, no sane man can
doubt of the propriety and justice of
would accrue to Missouri from making
Kansas a free State. 1t is not alone
that the negro occupies the place of the
white man, but that the tares choke and
wither the wheat. White labor thrives
but poorly in the presence of slave la
Dor. The Shareholders would be bene-
fitted to certain degree by making
Kansas slave State, because it would
increase the value of their slaves; but
what arc the interests of twenty five
thousand, compared with the interests
of nearly million? Kansas as a field
for white labor, for our native agricultu-
rists and mechanics, for the hardy Ia
borers from Germany and Ireland, and
not domain for any rich aristocracy,
| =, Ia+
democrat in the State, every friend of
commerce and industry, should prefer.
The interest of one class of our commu-
nifty should not bepermitted, like Aaron's
rod, to devour and swallow up every in
terest. Let us Judge of Kansas by Cal
ifornia. If Slavery had been legalized
there, the simple act of removing a slave
from Virginia to California, would, ac-
cording to Gov. Wise, have quadrupled
his Yalue, making him worth five thou
sand, instead of fourteen or fifteen hun
dred dollars. With such inducements,
the Shareholders would have precipita-
ted themselves and their slaves upon the
new country, and in the very first year,
niggers would have swarmed in the
mines like locusts. The young and
courageous men Of our own and other
States would have to compete in that
rich. field of enterprise with combina-
ton Of labor and capital which would
have excluded them or crushed them:
and instead of young white men win
ming the lavish treasures of California,
slave owners or rich spectators who
l1rrn clo
lie those treasures. The consequences
which would have followed the legaliz-
alton of slavery in California, will, in a
lesser degree, follow it's establishment
in Kansas. The few will gain at the
expense of the many, the rich at the
expense of the poor, the slave owner at
the expense of the working man.
