The snbinrn,ion Of Knuzn..


The Subjugntion of Kauzns.
The Boston Post, which is now rampant ad-
vocate of Atchison and Strngfellow derruf-
fanism, we have shown did once entertain some
computations of conscience against sanctioning |
such outrages as have been inflicted upon bleed
ing Kanzas. 1t pronounced the invasions made
BY Missourians to "control elections there, "the
most wanton violations of territorial rigats" and
said "all such proceedings SHOULD BE PUT
A STOP to- This was before it had received
its cue from Washington, that henceforward Dor
errufianism was to constitute the chief corner
stone of the creed of the democratic party.
Now, there is no tyrannical act of the admins
tration, however infamous or abominable. having
for its object the subsection of the free people OF
Kanzas to the edcts of the lawless invaders from
Missouri, which the Post is not swift to defend
and applaud. Atchison and Stringfellow, it
thinks, are the veriest political saints. To an
derstand in what consists the excellence of these
two paragons of democracy OF the Boston Post

they advised their followers, the more successful
ly to carry out their schemes, to act with the
democratic party, aud to adhere unwaverngly to
it, as "de only party true to them" Atchison
told the ruffians on that occasion, among other
kindred stuff, as follows, abiding to the first
elections successfully held in Kanzas:
"What did advise you to do9 Why, ,cAen
the first election came off, told you to go oUer
and rote You did so and beat them. We, oar
party in Kanzas, nominated Gen. Whitfield
Well, what next +? Why, an election for mem
bers of the legislature to organize the territory
must be held What did advise you to do then?
Way, meet them on their own ground again; and,
cold and inclement as the weather was, went
over with a company of men. Well, we beat
them.
Here is an open confession from the head ruff
fan himself, declared to his associates that he
hesded them in sever al successive invasions Of
Kanzas territory, for the sake of controlling the
elections there" and that they in the first place
elected Whitfield, Missourian, delegate to Con-
gress, in opposition to the settlers candidate !;
and in second place, that at the election of terri
torial Offices, March 3d. 1856 they "went over
again, and chose Legislature representing them
ssIres, to make laws for Kanzas, over the candi.
dates nominated by the settlers, driving the lat
ter FROM the polls for that purpose.
Atchison further proceeded, on that occasion,
(the 4th of February last, in Platte City, No. to
volunteer his sage advice to his fellow rufians, as
follows, in regard to their future operations

entitled to my advice, and you shall nave it, and

they abolitionize Kanzas, Missouri is no longer
slave State, and you lose 100000 of your prop
erty.
This Atchison is the man who, as Senator of
the United States, and then presiding officer of
that body, first moved for the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise line, for the object as he now
tells US, to spread slavery over Kanzas, and Ste
phen A. Douglas and Franklin Pierce consented
to be the tools of Atchison in that infamous
work and the Boston Post, while defending the
acts OF these bold conspirators against the peace
and Liberties OF the country has the brazen faced
efrontery to deny that it is in favor of slavery
extension. Its democratic brother of the New
York Day Book has given it a lesson on this
point, which it will long remember, we trust.
The speech Of Stringfellow, on the occasion
shove alluded towas equally significant with that
OF his democratic confederate who preceded
him. Gen. Stringfellow exhorted the rufians of
Platte county in this wise
Throw to the winds all parties, ties names,
&C., and unite under one name--that Of Demo.

South--they have always STOOD BY you, HAVE

Therefore, l say, unite with the Democrats,
and then we shall save OUR INTERESTS AND THE
UNION.
You have but ONE INTEREST at stake. And

who will stand by you. No compromise with the
