Slavcs IN Kansas.-From the following
paragraph whicl, we clip from the Squatter
Sovereign. Of The 9Th inst, published at
Atc!'ison. X. T., it would appear that the
slave population of the Territory is upon
the increase;
During the past six months tho slave
population in this portion Of the Territory
has greatly increased. Many settlers from
South Carolina, Virginia and other South
ern States have wisely brought slaves with
them as being the most ctfectual way of
settling the question Of slavery in tho Terri
tory These are tho kind Of settlers we
need here now. We want lneu Of means,
who will open large farms-work their
slaves aid 10y experiment test the adnp:a-
ton OF slave labor to Kansas. Every farmer
in this nciy yhboll,oui, assures us that their
servants arc much healthier here than they
Were at the South and are capable of per-
forming more labor. The soil Of Kansas
cannot he beat, and every staple that is
produced in the South can be profitaby
cultivated hero. What then is to hinder
our Southern friends from moving into the
Territory in large numbers, and in all cases
t, bring their slaves with them. We can
assure them that their property is just as
safe 'erc rs in South Carolina, and the nc
sro tl!icf is as closet: watched, and as Sc
vercly punished, rs in the most distant
Southern State.
We again repeat there is no risk or DAN
ger in bringing slaves to Kansas.
