The Big Gun has become Foul, and now
ri begins to Kick BADLY.
The advocates Of Fremonts election have made all
the capital they could out of the Kansas troubles,
and now SEEM to be horror stricken at the murders
that have lately been committed there. beeeher,
Greeley, Webb u Co., are now aware that the people
whom they have so long duped, are beginning 70 take
the right view Of the Kansas difficulty, and are ds.
posed to hold responsible the wicked men VINO, byal
manner of falsehood from the pulpit ana from tne
press have goaded on to murderons stflie heh WHO
are innocent in comparison with the wicked lnstga
tors. Some Of those misguided men were made sensl
BILE Of the deception which had been practced upon
them, in time to prevent their entrance into the
bloody strife They had been deceived by the Adolf
tion braWers and had consented to bear arms, winch
had been furnished for them by the religious young
ladies' of Hayerh for the purpose OF redressng the
wrongs against Abolitionists in Kansas These nagl-
nary wrongs had been ring through all their changes
from the pulpit and the press. But as these men
drew near to the Of war and outrage and began
to take cooler and honest view of the matter, they
found that they had been grossly deceived by the
freedom shriekers and that the true cause Of oense
had originated with the Aboitonlsts. Then like
honest men they willing to return home without
fighting in an unjust cause. Parker then became
furious against them denouncng them as the veriest
towards; which is not to be wondered at as these re-
turned soldiers were ready to expose the receptions
that had been practced upon them. They could
tell to their friends the truth as they had heard it
from those upon the spot, who knew well, that the
first troubles in Kansas originated with the Northern
land spectators in the Territory, who had their com
peers in Congress. "Truth is mighty and must pre-
vail against all the labors Of the Abolition fanatics
The great mass of the people now begin to under
stand the tricks Of demagogues It is now apparent
that the land spectators wished to secure as many
primitive claims as possible in the new Territory;
game which they had successfully played in all the
new States. =
The people of Missouri had desire to secure some
of these fine lands, and availing themselves of the
privileges of the presumption law settled upon some
of the choicest lands contiguous to Them They were
soon molested in their possessions by land hunters
who acted as agents for Northern companies When
the Mssourians resisted them and called upon their
brethren for assistance to protect their rights, they
were all denounced as border rufians cry which has
well served the purposes of Abolition editors and
priestly agitators. But there is now rebound in
public opinion, and the Black Republicans are begin
ming to be aware of it and hence the desire to de-
plore in advance the atrocities that are now being
committed in Kansas. But the people will hold this
party to just account, and will visit them with ter
rible retributon for their many receptions The re-
coil comes prematurely for them and there appears
to be no little confusion in their ranks at present
| Here is an extract from late number of the New
York Herald which discoses what is to be the line of
operations of that paper:
Thus we have the melancholy fact that Kansas is
still the scene of intestine bloodshed and that the
war has recommended. The public were iattered
l with the idea that the difficulties there would quiet
themselves and that the danger of further disturb
ances was past TIT
In the same number from which the above extract
is taken, there is labored article upon the condition
of the blacks in Africa, evidently inserted to hood
wink the South. The gst of the article is to show
the downward tendencies Of the negroes in the scale
of civilization where they have been left to govern
themselves and that state of vassalage is the only
condition in which they have made any progress il
civilization. All this is guiding the pill which they
| wish the Southern people to swallow with Fremont
Whether Greeley Beecher, Webb 4 Co., will thank
their brother Of the Herald for his plan of Fighting
upon his own hook" remains yet to be seen. 1t is
however, evident that the party seem sensible thai
the affairs in Kansas begin to give them little
trouble They now find themselves in the condition
of the Irishman who had discharged his old fowling
| piece at flock Of ducks, and who had been kicked
over by the discharge. AS he recovered himself, hi
friends assured him he had killed several of thu
ducks. Eyes, faith,' said Pat, II believe it for thu
numbering ould muskt is after killing from boil
ends" RossrTER.
