Tine Pregident,s sectionalism

The Presidents indecofous aud un-
called for attack upon the people of the
North for establishing emigrant aid So
cieties, 10 secure the settlement of Kan
sas by Free State men, has excited al
most universal indignation. The turpi-
tude of his conduct, and intense section
alism, can be best understood by consid-
ering what the South is doing, for which
he had no word of rebuke. 1t was with
in his knowledge, while he penned his
rebuke to the North, that a bill to aid
destitute emigrants to Kansas was pend
ing the Alabama Legislature. II has
passed its second reading and its proyis-
ions are these: That where company Of
100 emigrants is formed under a leader,
and that fact is made known to the Gov
ernor he shall draw upon the treasury
for an amount not exceeding S25 for each
man, to assist in the emigration, which
amount shall be returned into the Golfers
OF the State by separate tax to be levied
upon the slave property of the State.
The bill will no doubt pass. The
governor of Mississippi also brings the
subject before the Legislature of thai
State, and although he doubts the con.
stitutionality of the State directly inter.
fering in her sovereign capacity, yet he
is ready to cooperate with the Legisla
ture in any constitutional measure which
their wisdom may suggest, to secure 8
strong southern emigration to Kansas
The people of the South, he says, have i
in their power to secure Kansas to slave
ry, it will be their fault if they do moi
succeed.
Here is direct official interference b ]
southern States to force slavery into Kan
sas, while in the north the people have
only acted in their private capacity tt
preserve it for the settlement and home.

The following resolutions were then
passed unanimously, and ordered to
be printed -
WHEREAS, The present peace, as well
as the future welfare of our country de-
mands, that there shall be no further
extension of slavery and no more Slave
States: and
WHEREAS. By the reported unlawful
invasion of the Territory of Kansas by
citizens of the State of Missouri, for the
purpose of forcibly depriving the citi-
zens of that Territory of their first po-
litical right, and thereby establish slave
ry therein by force and without author
ity of law; as a consequence of which
invasion, civil war now exists in Kansas;
and
WHEREAS, The people of the Terri
tory of Kansas have, by Convention of
Delegates duly called and assembled for
that purpose, formed for themselves a
Constitution and State Government,
which Constitution is republican, and
said Convention, and the people OF
Kansas, by their ratification ,of said
Constitution. having asked admission
into the Union as State; and believeing
that such admission of Kansas as a
State, would exclude slavery therefrom,
and save that Territory from further
civil tumults, and further effusion OF
blood, il is hereby
Resotped, by the General Assembly Of
tile State of Ohio, That our Senator'S be
and are hereby instructed, and oul
Representatives in Congress be request
ed. to use their best endeavors for the
immediate passage of an act of Con-
gress admitting Kansas into the Union
as State, with such Limitation of boun-
daries as by Congress shall be deemed
advisable.
Resoiued, That our Representatives
be requested to vote for the immediate
admission of A. H. Reeder, to seat in
the House of Representatives in Con-
gress, as a delegate from Kansas, until
such admission of Kansas as a State.
ResOtued, That the Governor be re-
quested to cause copy of this preamble
and resolutions, properly certified. to be
forwarded to each of our Senator's and
Representatives in Congress. and that a
copy be sent to the Governor of each
State in the Union.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1856-02-23
The Case of Reeder.

There will be strong fight in the House
over the case of Reeder. We hope he
may be admitted, if for no other reason
than to rebuke the President for his In
decent inter ference in what concerns the
House alone. One of the most sacred
prerogatives of the House, and dear to
lovers of freedom, is the right to judge
of the qualifications of is own members.
For the first time in the history Of our
Government has the President attempted
to invade the sancity of this prerogatiye.
He has had the insuferable audacity to
tell the House that in his opinion Whit
field has the best claim to seat. Such
interference deserves a severe rebuke,
and We hope it will be administered with
out stint.-Pias. Gazette.

A distinguished Virginia Judge---Jamss
@. Mcdowell on Slavery.

"You may place the slave where you
please-you may dry up to your utmost
the fountains OF his feelings. the springs
of his thoughts-you may close upon
his mind every avenue to knowledge, and
cloud it over with artificial night-you
may yoke him to labor as an OK which
'liyeth only to work and worketh only to
live-you may put him under any pro-
cess which, without destroying his value
as slave, will debase and crush him as
a rational being,-you may do this. and
the idea that he was born free viii sur
vive it ali. 1t is allied to his hopes of
immortality tits the ETHEREAL part of his
nature. which oppression cannot reach !;
is torch lit up in his soul by the hand of
Deity, and never meant to be extinguish-
ed by the hand of man."
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1856-02-23

least, were such energetic interference
pretermitted, would not peace warrant
be issued against him, and he be bound,
in commensurate sum, to preserve the
peace : Would nothing be done, il Can
ada or Cuba were the object OF the Ate
Gibson movement? Who believes il?
And yet. because Kansas, not Canada.
is threatened, and the treason is internal
and internecine. and not leveled at realms
and strangers. having governments pledg-
ed and able to protect them, the plot pro-
ceeds in open day, and not one step is
taken to vindicate the laws, and exercise
the only mission of government, the pro-
lection of its subjects from wrong and VI
olence. We're Kansas so fortunate as to
be dependency of her Britanic Msjes-
ty, not day would pass, we suspect, be-
fore every such vigorous measure as
those named would be directed against
Atchison and his fellow iillibusters.
There is too clearly no design on the part
of those in power to adopt any such
course or any course, indeed, that can
save the country from the evils of civil
conflict.
Itremains to be seen whether this abb
dication of the functions of government.
this completely with treason. will receive
the sanction of Congress. In that body
is the only hope. If, in its control of ap-
preparations, or by direct legislation. it
Shall oblige the Executive to the fulfill
ment, the future of Kansas may still be
determined peacefully. The question
cannot be discussed too soon or too Sc
riously. The punishment of treason is
Intellectual, if t.be not as well preventive
as corrective. If this modern Cstsline
be suffered to proceed with his insurree-
ton, until the whole people is aroused.
and armed, and opposed, unquestionably
the responsibility of the struggle and
bloodshed must rest upon those who now
refuse to prevent, or secretly abet, the
consummation of the plot.-I r Ifi-

Migration to Missouri.

The St. Louis { Missouri) News says
it is thought that, during the past siz
months over ten Thousand persons have
settled in the counties of Northeast Mis-
souri,. Such was the rush to Adair,
Scotland, Schuyler, and Putnam coun-
ties, that thousands of families have been
forced to erect canvass tents in .he hear!
of large prairies to shelter them from the
wintry blasts. The quarter from which
these people came IS not mentioned. but,
from their settling in the northern part ol
Missouri, it is likely they came from the
western free Statss. A great atimpetu'

MR. RUsT's STATEMENT.
WAsHINGToY. Jan. 80. 1856,


Mr.. Rust says that when he first ap-
preached Mr.. Greeley, it was not his In
tention to assault him, and that he had
told his friends that he should only re-
monstrate with him then: but when he
inquired of Nr.sG., Would you re-
sent an insult s' Mr.. G. replied. "Idon't
know, sir, )" in such tone that it pro-
voked him to strike him. He also says
that Mr. G., at the seconed meeting,
added to the remark, that he believed II
was Mr.. Rust, and yon have treated me
very ungentlemanly." When Mr.. Rust
again inquired, are you non-combat-
ant - Mr. Greeley said, " don't shell
ter myself under that plea :" but when
he requested him to fight. Mr. Greeley
said that he had nothing TO fight with.
