The Motive for Republican Agi

gical operation, derives relief from his
screams of pain. The Black Republi-
cans are under the same treatment, and
as the cautery of truth is applied to
them they shrek for freedom "
and for "bleeding Kansas" But for
this ~stcntorian bawling they would pro-
badly faint away, if not pass off in NOR
tai agony. Let Democratic policy sug-
gest any made to give the largest free
dom to the people of Kansas, and
heal all the wounds which the
fratrical fanaticism of Republican
ism has inflicted there upon its brethren,
and we. find these "cut-throats of the
empire and the rule" in the spirit of
the first-born of CAIN" responding to
the query of the insulted majesty of
law, and saying, " 1 am not my brothers
keeperr Every effort at paciication
is met by efforts to continue agitation,
and now that the cloud of civil war is
lifting from the plains of Kansas, by
the temperate counsels and wise moder-
alton of GOV. Walker, acting under the
Immediate advisement of President Blu
chang-xe perceive that the North
American and the Morning. Times, afili-
ated in the ignoble effort to elevate the
African race to equality with the Anglo
Saxon and the Celt, are shifting their
ground ard pretend to sec afar of,
trouble brewing in the future organiza-
ton of the Territory of Neosho. This
lovely tract of our national domain,
now occupied exclusively by Indians,
governed by their tribal chiefs, but pro-
tectcd by the strong arm Of the United
States authority, is Il garden spot where
civilization has rescued the red man
from his migratory habits, and turned
with milleaeaI influence the t~omahawk
and s~calping knife into the sickle and
ploughshare. There, instead of the
war-whoop and the fierce contentious
growing out of the former implacable
hate of the aborigines, which once en-
sanguined the prairies and made desc
late the mountain slopes, now
Peacci is tinkling with the Shepherds bell,
And singing with the rea: or.
But, as if to show the power of His
might, who placed a mark upon the first
fratricidc, and condemned the children
of him who showed ]irrevcrance to his
father to be the "~scrvant of servants"
in the territory Of Neosho, the Africans
are held in bondage by the Indians, and
fertile plantations are entirely worked
By negroes. Slavery, as an institution,
exists there, planted not by organic
law, but by a higher law" Of destiny
If the philo-negrists would look the
fact il the face they might-sec in it the
working out of their wonderful dispcn-
Sation which revelation and prophecy
have showed us to be the will of the
Deity, and then instead of distorting
texts from the sacred volumes upon
which to build their crazy themes of
perfect equality of caste and color, they
would recognize the ~insePerable barrier
which nature has placed between the
negro and all other races. We
cannot, however, expect any such
candor from them; for it would be fatal
to their policy of agitation; it would
break the only weapon they have in
their hands, and spoil their trade of
shrieking for freedom to save the Union!
No driven as they are from all their
positions of false reasoning; with their
ramparts of sophistry battered down
around them by the canonades of truth:
they are determined, if they are driven
from their ground in Kansas, to rally
their scattered forces and make another
stand on the admission of Ncosho. 1t
is not freedom for the slave they desire
it COMFORTS more with their internal
wishes to throw firebrands into Chris
tan Churches and dismcmber those
ecclesiastical organizations originated for
the glory Of God and the spreading Of
His Gospel, and kindle the fires of To-
cal contention, instead of keeping alive
the censers with the acceptable incense
of peace on earth, good will towards
man. upon the alters erected by reli-
glen. 1t is not to sec Kansas admitted
as a free State, that they arc stretching
to its most dangerous tension the bands
Of national union, but to keep alive the
ogre of Slavery extension, which sub
sists upon its own brood of wicked fan
cics and fanatical monstrosities, as Sa-
turn of old de7ourcd his children. 1t
is not to sec freedom national, that they
counsel resistance to the institution of
Slavery, but to keep up the show of that
resistance just so long as it will serve to
hold together their sectional orgapiza-
ton, and then abandon thoir ground
like Nomads, to seek some new field
to pasture their crude theories and hyp-
ocritical devices. hThe cmptiost things
