assumes to declare any questioning Of the legiti-
macy Of Slavery in Kansss felony, AID to punish

Kansas The attempts of the great body Of the
PEOPLE Of Kansas TO free themselves from this in
cubus and reesablish the supremacy Of Liberty aud
Impartial Justice for All, are treated as rebellion
by these Federal dignitaries, and those who aided
in the organization Of Free-State Government
are gravely threatened with the penalties Of treason
Whoever thouchtfully contepplAtes the history Of
Ksnsas and closely scans its geographical position
must realize that here the great controversy respect
ing the Extension or NOn-Extension of Slavery
must be fought out. With Kansas Free. there can
be no Slave State formed north or west of her. and
all that the Missouri Compact pledged TO Freedom
i, secured. without embarrassing implications with
or tacit obligations as to Slavery south Of the Mis-
souri, line. With Kansas Free, the whole North
West is Free forever, and our attention may be
turned without apprehension to the fertile praires
Of Northern Texas and the intrigues to extend our
csne.felds to the Sierra Msdre, preparatory to the
sbsorntion of all Mexico. With Kansas Free, we
NAV put Slavery on the defensive and say to its
propagandists, Thus far ard no farther" In
short the permanent ssceRdancy Of Liberty or
Bondage in our National Councils is suspended, in
all human probability, on the issues of 1856.
THE TRIBUNE, therefore, will devote its best ef-

Kansas unquestiOnably and securely a Free State.
To this end it will render the heartiest support to
whomsoever should be presented by the Republican
National Convention at Philadelphia, next June, as
candidates for President and Vice President conf

to Kansas and Liberty.
We propose to issue CAMPAIGN TRIBUNE for
FIVE months commencing with the proceedings of
the Philadelphia Convention, on June II, and end
ing 1--WE hope with the record of the election of its
candidates about Nov. II. And, to insure that
this shall be something more than mere fy-sheet,
we propose to issue it TWICE WEEK, and of the
full size of our Daily, Weekly and Semi-Weekly
editions. We shall thus be able to give all the
news of the day. with the best Speeches in Con-
gress or elsewhere, Addresses elaborate Docu-
merits, and fall details of all Election, and Political
Movements throughout this eyentful canvass.
There will be great many cheap Weekly issues
for the Campaign, with which We prefer not to
compete nor interfere, while we publish at the
lowest endurable price one which shall serve as an
Ency clopedia of the Canvass and be regarded by
speakers committee men, and active workers for
the Right as textbook and monitor. We ask
those who believe such paper will DO good to aid
US in extending its circulation.
