He Csntinues.

He Continues.
The President, in his Message, speaking OF
Kansas matters, still continues to pour grape
shot latter fashion) into the awful Abotionists,
apparently we'll satisfied in his own mind that ne
has sent them to the tomb of the Capulets. He
speaks, not a. the President of the United States
should speak, but as bitter partizan, and from
every pore oozes out the malignity of his oompo-
sition. Hear him:
"Revoluti onary disorder in Kansas had Its
origin in projects Of Intervention deliberately
arranged BY certain members OF that Congress
which enacted the law for the organization or the
Territory, and when propaganda colonization OF
Kansas had thus been undertaken in ono section
of the Union for the systematic promotion OF
its peculiar views Of policy, then ensued as a
matter of course, . counter action with opposite
views in other sections Of the Union."
Whom the Nebraska bill was passed, the terri
tories of Kansas and Nebraska were left open to
the citizens of the United States, not to the cit
i.sns of Missouri or Massachusetts exclusively,
but for the benefit of every citizen of the Union
At the North smigrant aid associations were
established for the purpose of settling the terri
tories in dispute, and in order to save the land
once held sacred to freedom from the blightlng
curse of Slavery, and this was to be done in
lawful manner. The aim Of these associations
was good,-their mission peaceful, but the
Slavery propagrandists, fearful of defeat, mar
shallsd thousands of cut-throats from the shores
of Missouri "a slave State) and sent them, armed
to the teeth, into the Territory to modest the
peaceabls settlers there. The s'Border Rufians"
(although citizens of an adjoining State) took
possession of the polls, drove away legal voters,
destroyed the Freedom of Speech and the Press,
and murdered inoaending citizens. Then came
up from the North q vail of indignation which
has met response both in the East and the
West and even from some portions Of the far
South. Then came the battle with freedom and
slavery. And yet Mr.. Pierce tell us that "Revo-
lutionary disorder in Kansas had its origin in
projects of Intervention deliberately arranged by
certain members of Congress-" &c.-Cannot the
reader see that the North is the victim ?-that
"csrtain members of Congress" from the North
are the aggressors? The South, plainly says
Mr.. Pierce, did nothing but defend Themselves.
they have never encroached,-they are not to
blame-it is the sectional, disunion, red-mouthed
Republicans! Poor, pucillanimous Pierce! God
forgive him!
Not satisfied with thus classifying the origin of
the difficulties in unfortunate Kansas, the Pres
ident continues -
ssImputed irregularities in the elections held
in Kansas, like occasional irregularities of abe
same description in the States, were beyond the
sphere of action of the executive, but incidents
of actual violence, or of organized obstruction
of law, pertinaciously renewed from time to
time, have been met as they occurred by such
means az were available and as the circumstances
required, and nothing of this character now re-
mains to affect the general peace of the Union"
/" Imputed irregularities!' Who does not
know that these Irregularities were substantiated
by facts, procured BY committee of Congress
that they are on record, as such, and that Mr..
Pierce knew it when he penned his Message
Who does not know that these irregularities "
were far different from those constantly occurring
In the States-that never before in our history
has an instance occurred when the polls, (not in
one place, but throughout the territory were
taken possession of by armed men, and the citi-
zens driven away! Oh yes; " incidents of &C.
tusl violence have been met as they occurred,
and nothing of this character now remains to eff
feet the general peace Of the Union!' After
freedom is crushed out and the Free State men
are subdued, then the President informs US that
all is quiet, that nothing remains to effect the
general peace of the Union" Gratifying truly
At the commencement Of these " Irregularities -
Mr.. Pierce had no authority to stop them-he had
no power to prevent Missourians from taking
possession of the ballot boxes, but after the
deed was committed, the South had con-
quered by the point of the bayonet-the, the whole
armed force of the United States was brought
into the field to demolish the remaining lovers of
freedom! Great and glorious defender of the
Peoples rights History shall record thy bright
and glowing deeds
And now, says the President-ssIt affords me
unmingled satisfaction thus to announce the
peaceful condition of things in Kansas, especially
considering the means to which it was necessary 1
to have recourse to the attainment of the end, !
viz the employment of part of the military |
force of the United States"
Albright now! Kansas is in bondage. Some |
of her best and bravest champions are dead
Some are still in prison. The crack of the slave
holders whip can be heard on the plains and the
chuckle of the Northern Dsughface mingles with |
the laugh of the planter. ALPS well now. Free
dom is sleeping. Slavery has won the day. Alps |
we'll The remainder of the Message on this |
subject is devoted to " calm reAcctions,' ssug-
gestiys lessons" &c wise legislation,' &c., with
an earnest attempt at justification of the writer's
course. Wepropose no further comment, on this |
particular topic of the Message. The vacillating
career Of Franklin Pierce is so well known, and |
his odious position so we'll appreciated, that we
leave him to be kicked from one year to another |
until he shall land on the level nature ordained |
he should occupy and rest securely in the vault |
OF oblivion
