ii iaees THE DOUGLAS BILL. aIg !
The action of Congress upon the bill
emanating from the Senate Territorial
Committee, exeites alarm and fills the
minds of our people with gloomy appre-
tensions. Until Congress can recall the
effects of the past two years of barbaric
outrage heaped upon us by. the Admins
tration, its appolhtees and its sup porters,
it is useless for them to originate or to
pass bills looking to future settlement
of the Slavery question here. By the
adoption of the Topeka Constitution, the
real citizens of Kansas have already set
tied that question. To accept any new
proposition now, would be simply to open
anew the murderous strife which, for the
past two years has existed on our fair and
virgin soil. When Congress can give
back to us the hundreds who nave been
compelled TO flee from the remorseless
prosecutions of the Administrations Gov
ernor, Judges and Marshals when it re-
pays us for the time we have taken from
our business pursuits in order to protect
ourselves and families from the murder
Gus incursions Of legalized mobs; when
it can restore the property, the LIVES and
the FAITH of our people in the justice OF
their Government /; when it can restore
to us the thousands of fre eedom- loving EN-
1igrants, whose eyes have longingly turn
ed toward Kansas, but whom fear and a
desirefor peaceful home have driven tc
other Territories and States when it car
return to us all these, a proposition o.
