WHAT FoR ?-Is query by the New
Orleans Bulletin, one of the most nation
al of Southern journals:
.Why this perpetual fuss about Kan
sas BY the sectional press ? Why this
affected Indignation about the South be-
ing cheated out of its rights there, and al
this stuff? What man in his senses had
a particle ofdoubt, for the last six months
at least, that Kansas would be Free
State. because an overwhelming majority
Of its people are, and have been, and will
continue to be, in favor of SO making it
Do the sectionalists wish to force slavery
or any thing else upon the people, when
about to assume the functions of the State
against the will of vast and rapidly IN
creasing majority? The exclusive 500
disant Champions of the South, who mod;
estly assume an extra share, if not all thl
patriotism, sagacity, ETC., extant, are very
clamorous Just now against having the
proceedings of the Kansas Convention
submitted to vote of the people. The
only reason they can possibly have for
such a course is, that they fear the said
people would reject the instrument, in
consequence of the slave clause, if il
should contain one. Is not this man
ifest admission that they believe the ma
iority in Kansas are opposed to such q
clause ? If so, then they wish the mi
nority to rule. and wish constitution
obnoxious to the majority forced upon
them by species fpolitical legerdemain.
If this is not the whole thing in nut
shell, We would like to have some wiseacre
explain it, and tell what it does mean.
