Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1856-08-04

Slavery, as it always has done, triumphed-
triumphed by the aid Gifts northern men,
| But the senator from New Hampshire was
| right in holding you gentlemen of the South
| responsible for removing the . landmarks
| of freedom. The glittering prize was oHeteo
! by the senator from Illinois, but the senator
! from Geoaia aud his associates elutehed 1t
| with greedy haste. They cling to the coSeto
prize now with deathess tenacity.
The senator from Georgia traces the events
/ that have transpired in Kanzas admirably,b but
/ he comes finally to the Illogical conclusion,
! that the efforts made by the emlgrant aid So
/ cietv. by the people of New England, and OF
/ the North, and by the people OF the Territory,
/ to establish freedom there, are the causes OF
all the troubles that aftiict the Territory. That
senator, with all mis- ability, has given us no
evidence whatever to show that New England
men have in any way outraged the people OF
that Territory. They are not IN arms; they
| have never taken up arms but to defend their
homes. They have driven no men out of the
| Territory, Hundreds of them have been
! driven out-others have been silenced-they
dare not utter their sentiments. Since the
bill of the senator from Georgia was intro
| duced Mr. President, have seen several of
the leading men of the Territory, and have
not yet seen one who did not believe that Its
adoption at this particular time, under the
present circumstances, will crown the usurpa
| tons in Kanzas, and make it slaveholdlng
| State. That is their conviction 1t Is my
i conviction.
Mr. Wcller.-Has anybody said so except
| Republicans members OF your own party!
Mr.. Wilson.-Yes, sir, have been told so
| by men who have always acted with the DEM
ocratic party-men who have not at least yet
declared what they intend to do in the coming
contest These men, air, may err III their
opinions-I may err i'll mine, but they be-
leve, and believe, that your bill of pacih-
cation is to be bill of death to freedom in
Kanzas. have watched events in kanzas
with the deepest solicitude, not for their pc"
ltfral signiicance-for | care little for party
organizations-I follow where the star of lib
erty shines uoon my path, and would sacri"
flee any party, if by so doing, could advance
the cause of universal and impartial liberty in
America. l have watched, l say, the course
of events in Kanzas, and l declare my pro-
found conviction that the triumph of your
| measure is the triumph of the policy of slave
/ ~ extension. Who can doubt it The true
and tried friends of free Kanzas do not-they
cannot doubt it. You have scattered, arrest
ed, aud imprisoned the free State leaders,
| Your tools have driven out or silenced hun
| dreds of free State men. Your Lecompte has
| suppressed, as nuisances, the free State papers,
or they have been destroyed by mobs in the
interest of the Slave State men. One Free
| State paper, the Tribune, at Topeka-survives
unsurpassed but the Squatter Sovereign, one
of your six border ruffian journals, that -four
| ished by the patronage of theAdminstration-
journal, which, to the shame OF the Adj
ministraton, is supported by the advertising
of the Federal Governmental journal that
has the name of James Buchanan at Its head,
IL,
the suppression of this last journal Of the free
State men, and the butchery Of the people OF
| Topeka and Lawrence:
"Several parties have inquired of us, [says
the Squatter Sovereign, why the law has not
been put in force at Topeka, as well as at
Lawrence, against abolition newspapers? To-
+ peka is no better than Lawrence; it is also
| demoralized; but it is not SO well known
abroad. If both Topeka and Lawrence were
| blotted ont, entirely obliterated. it would be
the best thing for Kanzas that could happen.
The sooner the people Of Topeka sound their
death kneH the better they are too corrupt and
degraded to lice. We would like to be present
and raise our Ebenezer in the funeral. 1t is
silly to suppose for an instant that there can
be any peace in Kanzas as long as one enemy
Of the South liUeS upon her soil, or one single
specimen Of an A6oIitioaist treads an the sun
light af Kansas Territory"

do not object to it. Call me anything you

content. But the senator has hurled threat
at us. He says we may elect fifty Fremonts
and 1t the people of Kanzas make up their
minds to have slavery, we cannot take it from
their iron grasp. Sir l do not know how the
fact Is, but it is said that the senator from
Georgia, and Others, talked very plain to Cen
eral Taylor, in 1850, about dissolution of
the Union, and that General Taylor ntima-
ted TO them, pretty distinctly, that the Union
was to be preserved, and the laws of the coun-
try executed. II John c. Fremont be elected
PRESIDENT. he has enough OF Old Hickory in
him. enough OF Zachary Taylor in him, to ex-
ecute the national will, to meet threats,
whether they come from the North or the
South. tell the senator from Georgia. that
threats to dissolve the Union, " ill alarm none
of us.
Mr.. Toombs-I have said nothing about
dissolution of the Union. said that nothing
could wrench this Territory from the iron
grasp OF these men except fair vote at the
| ballot box.
Mr.. Wilson, apprehend, however, that if
| we can get majority in the Senate, and L
hope we shall do it soon--I think we shall
come pretty close to it before the 1t of March.

free State senator who is all right, in the place

Mr.. Wilson-Perhaps the senator from Cal

Mr.. Benz amin-It is mistake.
