WANTED-MORE KANSAS OUT
R4GES "

Il
RACES. II 81
The FREMONT papers and politicians, aware
that the entire capital of the party consists in
the excitement of the popular mind on "out-
races" of the Kansas and Sumner order, are
fearful that peace and order may be restored,
and then their occupations gone" Hence
the Tribune and other papers OF its class, call
on the House to reject all practicable plans
for the settlement of the Kansas question,
and to insist upon the impracticable. Hence
each outrage ofthe s,'border rufians is hailed
with ill-concealed. delight The "fnends of
Kansas" are counseled to measures which can
have, and are designed to have no other effect
than to exasperate the public mind to a
civil war and bloodshed, that votes may be
secured TO the republican party. tits worthy
Of remark that the leaders who talk and
write SO valiantly are careful never to place
their precious bodies injeopardy. The Reed
ers, the Laws the Greelys and the Beechers
are missing when their principles are to be
carried to conclusions. The Tribune rejoices
in correspondent at st. Louis, who was sent
from Worcester, Mass, to manufacture "out-
RACES and "public opinion for that paper.
He is stylde the Rev. 7. w. Higginson--the
same person, we suppose, that figured in the
Anthony Burns rescue attempt at Boston,
We do not know what denomination Of the
gospel of peace claims him. In his letter of
the I'd inst, speaking of party of Worcester
emigrants under the command of one Cutler
who had gone up the Missouri river, he says
81 almost hope to hear that some of their
lives have been sacrificed, for it seems as if
nothing but that would arouse the Eastern
States to act This seems a terrible thing
to say, but these are terrible times: times
which ought not to excite man, but to make
him calm and resolute."
This "calm and resolute" shepherd, who al
most hopes to hear of the slaughter of his
townsmen and probably Pensioners, has, it
seems some voice and authority in directing
the movements of the "friends of Kansas"
In the same letter he says, speaking of sec
ond Worcester party under the command of
Stowell
ado you know that they came and abso-
lutely begged of me to let them 90 up the
Missouri river in the track of Cutler, pledging
themselves to die, if need be, to redeem the
honor of Massachusetts, From the bottom
of my heart felt with them; one word from
me one word from me would have done it,
but did not feel authorized to speak that
word, and therefore sent them on by the 9th
er route. Had they gone by the river | sho'ld
have gone with them, for | never found any
thing harder than it will be to quit this river,
believing, as do, that there are plans prac-
ticable by which the passage might yet be
opened to free emigrants."
o, Rev. sir, why did you not speak that
zone word ?" why did you send them on "by
the other route?' Above all, why did you
not 90 with them to counsel and advise the
young men who far off among the hills of
Massachusetts,, had listened to your sermons,
been fascinated with your eloquent praises of
of the pleasures of dying for freedom" and
to launch into the unknown sea Of "border
rufianism without pilot?
"But there must be some outrages yet be-
fore even the Northwest is ready for those
measures, much less the East"
This tells the story. The spirit Of republi-
canism blazes "even in the North t.
The "east" is quite hopeless unless some new
"outrage" can be Impoverished Will not
Stringfelow or Dave Atchisou help the Rev.
Mr.. Higginson and Horace Greeley?
