Tns Kansas Agssstion-7ssIf a Dozen New
states Coming Into the Union.
The sixty odd delegates (proslavery) elected
last spring for the purpose, have assembled in
convention at Lecompton, to undertake the i'm
portant work of framing State constitution for
Kansas With the numerous precedents before
them--free States and slave States-one would
suppose that they ought to be able to finish the
tax assigned them within two or three weeks, or
in season to submit their constitution to the peo-
pie on the day of the regular Territorial election
in October But sooner or later, it is pretty well
established, from the assurances Of Governor
Walker, and from the significant language Of Mr.
Buchanan's Kansas letter, that the consultation
adopted must ard will be submitted to the popu-
lar vote; and, satisfied upon this point, we have
no fears that the Zeal issue in Congress will in
volve dissolution of the Union
AT all events, pro slavery or no slavery at this
particular time, With the issue In Kansas in re-
GUAR course Of settlement there can be nothing
more foolish, useless or absurd than the continued
agitation of Kansas affairs by the fire eating mig
ger drivers of the South and our bowling der
wishes among the niger worshippers of the
North. If the question OF slavery in Kansas,
through balance of political power, involved
the alternative Of the des.luction of the slave
labor system Of the South or the free white labor
system Of the North, there would be some sort of
justification for this horrible uproar in both sec
tons touching the manifest destiny Of Kansas
But the admission Of Kansas into the Union, with
or without slavery, will not affect TO any pract-
cal extent the balance of power DOW held in Con-
gress by the North, inasnuch as out of some half
dozen other embryo States at least four will in
evi.sbly be free States
Minnesota will undoubtedly be admitted by
the coming Congress as free State; and If Kan
sas is admitted with a population short of the
full federal ratio required for Que member Of
Congress, then the Territories of Nebraska, Ore
gon, Washington and Utah may also claim at
once admission into the Union. Nor can
even The most foolish or stupid of
Of our niger worshippers suppose that there is
TIE shadow Of q possibility that either Nebraska,
Oregon, Washington or Utah, when admitted,
will be admitted with constitution recognizing
the local existence Of the institution of slavery.
On the contrary, we have no doubt that New
Mexico herself will ultimately come into the
Union as free State, ard for the simple reason
that the arid rocks, sandy wastes and rigid eli
mate Of that obsolete region will forever exclude
the Introduction Of niggers, except as fugitives
from Texas.
There Is, therefore, neither rhyme nor reason,
nor common sense nor common decepcy, nor
anything OF the Sort in this fcrocious clamor,
North and South, concerning slavery in Ksnsas.
Sectional animosites, sectional pride, sectional
stupidity, religious fanaticsm, political charla-
tanry, and niger driving and niger worshippiog
philanthropy run mad, arc at the top and the
bottom and run through the whole mass OF this
Northern and Southern uproar. What will the
North lose should Kansas be admitted as a slave
State with Minnesota leading the way as free
State, and with Nebraska, Oregon and Washing.
ton following close behind free States?
And what will the gain or loss Of Kansas be TO the
South, with three or four new free States added
TO the political pEcpordcrance of the North!
Pushing into the subject little deeper, what
viii IL avail the South should they succeed In
steering Kansas into the Union as a slave State,
when from the heavy preponderauce Of the free
State settlers the constitutional recognition OF
slavery will be changed into the abolition of
slavery within year or two? Nay, more what
is the use Of this suicidal struggle on the part Of
the South TO establish slavery in Kansas when
II Is only reactng from the pressure Of an over
whelming Northern emigration, to expedite the
abolition Of slavery in Missouri In word,
looking over the broad field or all the Terrific
ries, and the manifest destiny of Minnesota,
Nebraska, Oregon and Washington as free States
at an early day, to say nothing Of Utah and New
Mexico, the excessive folly and impudcnce Of our
Kansas sgitating fanatics, fools and demagogues,
North and South, can only excite the commisera-
ton and contempt Of the intelligent and thinking
reader
II is as clear rs anything in the future can be,
do what We may with slavery Ia the admission
Of Kaosse, that In the Presidential election OF
1850 Kansas and Minnesota will be among the
free States; and that in the election of 1864,
Nebraska, Oregon and Washington viii be added
