The true Democrat., 1856-07-29
Gen. Yell opposed to the Kansas

On last Wednesday, in this place, for the first time we heard a man, claiming to be a southerner, oppose and denounce the Kansas Nebraska act. We were not surprised. howe- yer, as our correspondents and friends had pre- pared us to expect as much at the hands of Gen. Yell
 4 southerner opposed to tue Kansas act!- Ought not such an enunciaton to strike every body with surprise? What is the Kansas act? It is nothing more than an act for the estab- fishing of territorial governments for Kansas and Nebraska, by which the odious Missouri compromise acas repealed. What is the Missouri compromise? It was an act by which south erners and shareholders were prohibited from emigrating and carrying with them their pro- perty into territory north of latitude 36 deg. 30 min.-that is, an act whicA PROHIBITED south. e'nefs from going to Kansas and NeJraska. The Missouri compromise does not, as has been as- serted in some places in this State, prevent abolitionists from making free States south ot the line, it only prevents southerners from ma hiilS MuCe OtuseS HOfM Q me lUe.
 Thus there are two features that make the Missouri compromise odous to every southern. CT. One is its nconstitutionality--the other IS, its palpable, manifest injustice to the south It Is ufconstitutioaal, because power is nc where conferred by the constitution upon Con. gress, to leglslate upon the domestic question of slavery. It is unjust to the south, because 1t excludes the southern people from emigrat ing to territory which was purchased witt their money.
 Hence the great rejoicing throughout thu south over the passage of the Kansas bill ant the repeal of the Missouri compromise.
 But Gen. YeIis opposed to tue Kansas JN De cause arpeals tue Missouri compromise! He de nounced the repeal of the Missouri compro mise, in his speech here, on Wednesday las, in the btterest terms. He said it was a mov made to embroil the country in civil war; What. is an act of simple justice to the south cause for civil war? By saying so, Gen Yell justlies the free-soilers in their nefariou warfare upon the Southerners who have gon to Kansas. Is he willing to follow his preach ing to such practical result?
 What are the fruits of this Kansas act whicl Yell denounced so severely? By repealin! the Missouri compromise, it enabled southern CTS to go to Kansas and settle. They hav done so; they are now there in large maori ty-and, when the time comes, will apply fo admission into the Union as a slave State.
 Ihe Kansas biN, a6ove aN things else as M salratton cf Missouri and A,hansas How would the people of Arkansas relish a ire State upon their very borders? Kansas is con 1 tiguous to Arkansas-touches the north-wes corner of Arkansas. How would our people lik its admission into the Union as free State, her our slave property would be run off to? Wha safety would there be for our slave property, a free State filled with abolition thieves and ne gro stealers, was formed upon our very borders 1 And yet Kansas would have been fre State, if the Missouri compromise had re mained in force. Ihe Missouri coapron,is prohibits slarery ID Kansas. How can southerner-a citizen of Arkansas-denounc the Kansas bill because it repeals that odious unjust and ruinous Missouri compromise?
 The abolitionists of the north denounce tn Kansas bill-denounce the national democrac, for passing it--because it makes sIaue Stat of Kansas, but how southerner can join il the same hue and cry, as Gen. Yell does, sur passes our understanding
 Let the people ponder well upon the atti Jude assumed by Gen. Yell. His position i identical with the aboltionists By voting fo him, and electing him Governor of the State we virtually indorse his denunciation of tn bill that gave Kansas to the south instead o giving it to the north. Let the people on mex Monday remember this, ard govern themselve according y.-ELIAs \. CoNwAY is n tuuor 0 the Kansas act; GEN. YELL IS opposed Co h
