Editors and appreciate the delicacy Of their po-
sition in attempting to hold even balance between
sections, already namcd and on the verge Of civil
war, but If we are not greatly mistaken the para
graph we have copied, gives entirely erroneous
idea Of the origin of the troubles in Kansas Accor-
ding to impression the beginning of the troubles
not in Judge Lcccmpte's court, in the pro-
camaton Of the Marshal the action of the court and
the proclamation were results, caused by the pre-
vious proceedings of the abolition party in rcpudia-
ting the Government established by law, and actual
~ setting up Government of their own, to super
,ede that which the Law had ordained This is our
understanding Of the matter. We know IL Is alleged
that the existing Government was established through
fraud and by violence but there is proof of the
charge; and until that proof is forthcoming, the es
tablished Government must be presumed to be right
ly established, and its authority respected We de-
sire the opinion of the lnteligencer, for which we
entertain the highest respect Is not the existing
Government ofthe Territory, the Government OF ldns
and not those who reject it, and refuse 10 submit
tn it, authority, guilty of wrong-dong: and they
not, every fair Interpretation of law, justly
Sponsblc for all the consequences Of their wrong
doingg
We have no hesitation in saying that we do not
believe that Kansas would be an acquisition of any
great value to the South; doubt whether il is
genial to the institution OF slavery; and 10y
no means certain that the diffusion OF the institu
ton will tend tn strengthen it. Therefore should
not be disposed TO make rout about it. But re-
garding the assumptions of the North a. tantamount
a virtual denial of the equality Of the South under
the Constitution, and the aweSS proceedings of the
free State inaugurating of violence and
force, the question very different hue, and
becomes of the most serious import II our view of
be correct, it involves nothing less than
The freedom ani Independence of the Southern States
If the Confederacy We are, therefore, for meeting
1t at once and stalking every thing upon the issue.

every possible term Of and abuse heaped upon
the South Cowards, murderers, rutans villains scoun-
