X KANSAS.

Mr. G. Cunningham OF Kansas Territory, no@
in this city for the purpose Of presenting the South
ern csuee in that Territory, and If possible, secur.
the CO operation of this community, will wait upon
the citizens or be glad to communicate with rhos.
who may feel disposed to take sn interest In the 10
ture history of Kansas, by calling upon him at lie
Exchange Hotel. where be will be found for n lev
days.
The annexed appeal is copied from the Chsres,on
News:
KANsAs!-Th election for members of the I.scs
stive Assembly Of this Territory will BIZ held IN ihs
first Monday Of next October. The complexion oi
the Legislature will. in all probability, determine
whether Kansas is destined TO he free slave S,a,e
and whether Abolition iauaticsm shall nene eorwsr,i
rample in the dust the Constitutional Rights .: ;t5
South or force dissolution of the Union. Tha: iies
-o aggression the rights Of the slave States must
be speedily arrested, or the U:.oa dissolved. IS 70
plain to be reasonably Questioned.
Many Of our most Intelligent citizens believe ih-t
if Kansas should become free State. Missouri, gar
rsoned three sides by free statea, must 0I.,
succ2mb to the continued aggressioGs OF reesoIhru
and abolish slavery. In that event tie ins;itGtior
would be greatly weakened TO Arkansas, kepfucs;
and Virginia. But should kanses become s.Eys
State, the South will stili and probably vr msny
years to come have the means OF self protecton y
their own hands.
AS yet, the pro.savery party are largely in the
cendant. but desperate efforts are being made By
Eyrdnt Aid Societies TO reverse this state If thing
and obtain free soil majority before tho mex, cleo
toa. The South are imperously called upon by ev
cry dictate of patriotism and enlightened s.lfloye 70
couu:eract these eTorts, which they readily DO
and rsrpetrate the ascendeucy Of the pro -s:ery
party. This however, must be done, ii Jon" 81 al,

There is no part OF America where slave !aDnr ~
