WHO has no word of rebuke for the feroclty OF his

Ruffian laws shall be enforced without any excep-
tons, the whole code unconstitutional enactments

never lifted his finger to preserve the Free-State
settlers in Kansas from Outrages and murder, nor
TO punish their eppressOrs fer their lnnumeraoie
crimes To give him now the appointment OF this
Board is to affix the approving sanction of Con-
gress upon his entire Administration IN the most
marked manner possible.
But even if the Board was TO be an impartial
one the bill isa Bill Of denominations neyerthe-
less, instead of Bill of Pacifcation. For,
l. 1t dire city recognizes and sanctions the Bor-
der-Rufiian cOoe which thus far has never been

any fair, square, uneInbsrrassed vote. Section
Is SAYS the Delegates she'll meet at the capital OF
said Territory" and this affirm, that capital has
been selected which was not done by Congress IN
the organic law but ,ras by the Missouri legs
lators. Section recognizes the Counties 10
the Territory just as they were laid oil by that
Legislature of invaders. Section recognizes the
appointments of that Legislature. by having
special official duty assigned to leach clerk OF
fCourt of Record within the Territory" And
they are again recognized in sections and 9. In
section TO- Amy officer authorized by lac to ad-
minister Oaths" is recognized officially, and the
law" thus directly and Enthusiastically sanctioned
and affirmed. The clerk of the tribunal trans
acting County business" is also recognized in
tb- sec ton. But there is no u certainly in con-
tinung these references. Enough has been made
TO show that "the true intent and meaning OF this
bill is to procure a Congressional Endorsement OF
the acts and appointments of the Border Rufilan
Legislature This is one step toward "the paclh-
catiCn of Kansas
g. The faithful defenders of freedom who are
now in prison in chains, or else IN exile, or un-
DER Indictment, for having participated IN the
formation Of State Constitution, which has been
deliberately indorsed by the Representatives Of
twelve millions of Freemen, and only opposed by
the REPRESENTATIVES OF nine millions OF freemen,
are not alluded to in this bill They are to suffer
on for the crime of having prepared Constituc
ton which majority of the Representatives OF
the whole American people, who, unlike the
Senate, are fresh trem their constituents, nave
approved as both just and expedent. And this
is the second step toward the pacication OF
kansas"
g. All who are re siding in the Territory on the
1th of July, 1856, to be registered; and as
the bill is passBg the Senate, We hear that large
forces of MissOurians are again pouring INTO the
Territory, their Blue Lodges" doubtless notified
by telegraph of the necessity of being on the spot
at that particular tine. Aud this is the third step
toward Justice fer Kansas"

MissOuriaDs who have bt en- bona ide inhabitants

come back by the first of October, to be register
ed and vote. But, III the mean time, by instruc'
TONS probably suggestions OF from Washing

all FreeState emigrants robbed and sent back
and the only way they can get into the Territory
is by $50 miles wagOniDg across Iowa and Nebras-
ka while the Commissioners may register all
the Missourians who during any of the invasons
"inbabted" the erritory. And this is the fourth
step toward Justice for Kansas"
5. The present Legislature, which has legalized
Slavery, struck down Free Speech, annihiated the
Free Press Of the Territory, and illegally extended
the existence of one of It's branches till 1855, is

up the leisure time which must intervene before he
