Sc De State.
There are many well-meaning citizens who are
drUegiDg their conscences into acqaiescence in a
vote to sustain the patrons Of Border Ruffanism IN
Kansas by the plea that they will do nothing TO force
Slavery upon that unhappy Territory but .iI leave
tie People free 10 accept or reject 1t as they please
Even 50 unmitigated doughface as John b. HaakIn
makes speeches in this key, and Marcus l.. Cobb
sends letters privately to Republicans, telling them
that be will do oil in bis power to make Kansas q
Free State. Let US once more unmask this
hypocrisy:
The fate Of Kansas turns on this piyot-the re-
cocuition or reputation OF the strocous claws "
imposed on her BY Border-Rufian invasion, violence
aid fraudulent voting. He who upholds those laws
as body, though be may agree with Gen. Cass that
some Of their provisions are monstrously desFOtic
and clearly uuconsttGtional-upholds Slavery in
Kan.as. II is nO,c hrt as fact; it is tgqiiy fast
ered on Kansas if those bogus enactment: at
Shawnee Mission are mainly real and valid laws
He who upholds those pretended law" uPhOlds
Slavery in Kansss, ard is either fool or knave if
he pretends the contrary.
Now the Republican party through its Repre-
sentatiyes in both Houses Of Congress. lis majority
on the Investigating Committee It's Conventions, It's
presses, and It's speakers, rpudae AID scout these
pretended claws" as a viainous fraud and sham,
the offspring Of conspiracy. usurpation outrage.
Republican President and Congress will treat them
as the nullity they really are; Buchanan or Fillmore
and Congress TO match viii do just the contrary,
as they have hitherto done. Al the Buccaneers in
the House but half dozen, aid decided majority
of the Fillmore men, voted against even investigating
the election in which those bogus claws " Orlgi-
mated ard the Bucbanecr Platform s,gmatizes those
who Tepudiate them as melting TO treason aud
EARNED resistance 10 lar IN the Territories -
mesnipg TO these bogus laws" No word has
ever been uttered By Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Fillmore
or any influential body Of the supporters of either
in reputation Of those laws" while they, their
authors and their uphoders, are thoroughly de-
nounced in the Republican Platform.
Gov. Marcy has been held the member Of Pierce's
Cabinet whose sympathies with Border RutfanisIs
are coolest; yet Gov. Marcy has just replied to a
demand Of Gov Grimes of Iowa that the settlers in
Kansas from that State be protected from outrage
by the Federal Government in a dispatch of which
the following is the vital portion:
The state of affairs in Kansas is to be regretted
deeply by all American citizens. The President Is not
