Davis, have re-enacted most a the atrocities Of
the piratical Saxons and Normans when they in
vaded England Even the United States army
under Col. Sumner appears to have been detailed
TO Kansas on the same benevolent mission with
which Cromwell was sent over to lreland--that
is to punish the rebel free State squatters and to
eat out their substance. But the past cannot be
recalled. We have to deal with the present and
for the future. Looking, then, to the spirit of
compromise and equivalents upon which this
Union was founded, as our only possible security
for the future, we call upon the House Of Repre-
seniatives to accept this bill Of the Senate, and
thus to renew the constitutional basis Of at least
temporary armistice in providing for the admis-
ion Of Kansas as slave State.
II may be urged by the nigger-worshppers
that this bill gives the lie to squatter sovereignty
that il steals into Kansas like thief-that in
he prescribed term Of residence to voters it is a
,hameless fraud upon popular rights-and that in

were permitted TO vote by the original Nebraska
BILL this new measure betrays the humliating
seryility Of Northern Senators to Southern niger
drivers; but what Of all this? Is not the question
even Of a temporary peace between the North
and the South worth all these little sacrifices Of
regularity, law and order in frontier territory?
Should we not, in a choice Of evils choose the
least? IN word, what will the North lose in
losing Kansas? And can we not afford to give it
up, when it is manifestly indispensable to the
future ecurity of the South, and will increase

We are well aware that the passage of this bin

the Senate will only add fresh fuel to the fires Of
agitation which are now lighting up al the
North; we foresee that this bill will give ire
mendous impulse to the Northern furore for FIRE.

ton which wicked and imbecile dynasty, and
this reckless, corrupt and rotten Pierce and jeff
Davis demo cracy, have set in motion. But we
also believe in the power and in the everything

Let this revolution, then, go on, and let this
new bill providing for the admission Of Kansas
