Free State, Of course Such were the promises
and prospects on the strength Of which the original
Nebraska bill was driven through Congress We
have seen how those pledges have been fulfilled.
We are now asked 10 trust the very same men with
the issue Of Freedom or Slavery In Kansas How
caawe?
H. Gov Reeder, 1t Gov. Roberts and Secretary
Deiizier, with Senator Lane and many other Free
State men of Kansas, are old time Democrats, aud
strenuous supporters of the Nebraska bill when
passed. Resder and Roberts are Peunsyvsnans
the former, and we thiuk the latter also, belonged
to that section Of the party to which Mr Buchanan
belongs, and naturally sympathize with it, If the
issue Of Freedom or Slavery III Kansas were out of
tie way, these would now be FOR Buchanan. They
are only opposed to him. if at ali, because OF their
devotion 10 Free Kansas. Yet these ssy, as does
every man who knows Kansas intimately and labors
to make her Free State that to pass the TOOmbs-
Douglas bill of the Senate ia to surrender her
inevitably to the Border Ruffians. Who is likely
to know better than they!
Ill The Toombs- Douglas bill which has passed
the Senate does not sbolish the ferocioas code of
laws imposed on Kansas by the irupdOn of Six
thousand Mssourians on the 30th Of March, 1855,
but only few of their most obviously atroclous
provisions. 1t does not terminate the rule OF
Shannon and Lecompte, Donaldson and Jones, in
Kansas; on the contrary, it perpetuates it. Let
the House pass the Senate bill, and Shannon is
still Governor, Lecompte Chief Justice, Donaldson
U. 8. Marshal, and Jones Sheriff of Douglas
County, which includes Lawrence, Lecompton,
&c, and all the acts and parts Of acts Of the bogus
Legislature not eIPrssiy rPased hereby 'c'A haze
been taeriy sanctioned and affirmed by Congress.
Jones and Donaldson can still pack Grand Juries
that will, under Lecomptes instructions, order
Free-Stste printing Offices and even hotels to be
demolished as nuisances and then place themselves
at the head Of Buford's and AtchsOn's horses and
proceed to put such presentment into execution.
Not only the Territorial officers, but the Shenfs
and Judges of Probate, &c, appointed by the
Border Rufhan Legislature, will all hold on under
.ha EsIscifca.ionv hill How Erea-
State meo be expected to assent to this
". We are told that those Free-State men who
have been driven cut OF Kansas By Lecompse &
Co. may return aid vote at the election cOntem-
plated by ToOnbss bill. Hoo return ? Not
through Missouri, By the only iacie route-that
route Is closed BY the Border Rufians. They may
90 around twenty DAYS journey through the track
lees wilds of Western Iowa if they choose. But
suppose they DO, What is to protect them against
the indictments of l. compse and arrests of Don
aldsOn and Jones Those worthless hold every
man who helped establish the Free-State Govern
ment, or who refused to recognize as valid and
obey the acts of the bogus Legislature, or who
started to help defend Lawrence when they heard
that the Border Rufiians gathering TO destroy
her, TO have committed treason, and they have
quite a number of leading FreeState men now in
close Jail on indictments based on these views.
Suppose our Free-State men now away from Kansas
go back to part cipate in her struggle for Freedom,
what is to prevent their sharing the fate Of Gov.
Robinson, Editor Brown, Secretary Deitze- and
Others' Nay: who does not know that the
Boder-Ruffian authorities in Kansas ,rOuid indict
them, if they have not already done so, aud have
them arrested and shut up until the issue Of Free
dom or Slavery shall have been decided What
have they ever done 10 make us believe that they
would not serve Reeder, Roberts, Lane, &C.. as
they have served Robinson Brown, Deitzler, and
Oihersl
V While Free. State men have been driven out
AID shut cut Of Kansas by hundreds for the last
three months Missouri and the South have been
pouring III their eeiOns unopposed aud unmatched
They are still pouring them in, while Free State
immigration has nearly ceased. We believe there
are this day more Free State than Prc-Slavey
residents in Kansas; but every Office is in the hands
of the latter; they are the ruling power-the
"LaH-aI . Order" men-whi lille our side are under
foot. outlaws, rebels, according to what is dealt
out in Kansas as law and justice. We have not a
newspaper printed In Kansas nor on its border,
while our adyersaries have dozens. To 90 into an
election now to decide whether Kansas shall be a
Free or Slave stare, is to give the Border Rufians
the full ads aLtage Of all the ouEages, crimes, cleo
ton frauds and robberies, they have been con-
hitting for the last two years. We cannot con-
sent IL this.
