Ezekiel xiv, 81 Turning thus from tho .au-
thors OF this crime, the people will unite once
more with the Fathers of the Republic, in a just
condemnation of slavery---determined especially
that it shall find no home in the Northern terri
tories--whie the slave power in which this crime
had its beginning, and by which it is now sus-
tanned, will be swept in the catalogue Of departed
tyrannics. In this contest Kansas bravey stands
forth, the STRIPPING leader, wrapped in the pan
Oplv of American institutions. In calmly
meeting and adopting frame of Government,
her people have with intuitive promptitude per-
formed the duties of freemen; and when con-
slider the difficulties by which she was beset,
find dignity in her attitude. In offering herself
for admission into dhe Union as a FREE STATE,
she presents single issue for the people to dc.
eide. Aud since the slave power now stakes on
this Issue all its i'll gotten supremacy, the peo-
pie while vindicating Kansas, will ut tho same
time overthrow this tyranny. Thus does the
contest which she now begins involve not only
Liberty for herself but for the whole country
God be praisc1 that he did not bend ignobly be-

In all his sympathy there is strength. But in
the cause itself there is angelic power. Unseen
by men, the great spirits of History combat by
the side of the people of Kansas, breathing u
divine courage. Above all towers the majestic
form of Washington once more, as on the bloody
field, bidding them to remind the rights of Human
Nature for which the War of Independence was
waged. Such cause, thus sustained, is invnci-
BILE. 1t may be crushed to earth for day, but
it will surely rise to grasp the victory. The con-
test which, beginning in Kansas, has reached US,
will soon be transferred from Congress to
broader stage, where every citizen will be not
only spectator, but actor; and to their judgment

peal, to vindicate the electoral franchise in
Kansas. Let the ballot box of the Union, with
multitudnous might, protect the balot-box in

slave labor; in Christian sympathy with the
slave, whom it is proposed to task and sell there
in stern condemnation of the crime which has
been consumated on that beautiful soil; in res
cue of fellow citizens, now subjugated to tyran

Fathers. whose aspirations now ignobly
thwarted in the name Of the Constitution, which
has been outraged-of the Laws trampled down
of Justice banished of Humanity degraded
of Peace destroyed-of Freedom crushed to
earth and in the name of the Heavenly Father
whose service is perfect Freedom, make this
last appeal.
