OF the abolition and freesoil crusade
against the institutions and interests of
the South. THURLow WEED is the Ceur
de Lion of the advancing army. HORACE
GREELY tells them that the Holy Sepulchre
OF Liberty must no longer be desecrated
by the pc session of slaves by the South.
THURLow WEED brandishes his flashing
broad-sword, and shouts to the legions to
come on. Kansas is pointed to by them
as sort of Jerusalem. They now think
that they will be able to wrest it from the
South. They are counting the glories of
the achievement. They jump at the fruition
of their hopes, and make rejoicings over
the effect of this victory upon their future
plans and purposes. Last year it was
Buchanan and the rights of the South;
it has now come the time for Mr.. Buchan-
ans Northern friends, to tap him on the
shoulder, and cry bravol We have here
tofore shown by what manner of means,
the South has been hoodwinked and de-
ceiyed, and how she will ultimately be de-
MED the right to hold her property in Kan
sas. We now present ardent Southern
democrats, whose only hope has reposed
in the democracy, with specimen of Mr..
WEEDS cogitations upon this subject. 1t
was written in his markee, (the Office of
the Albany Erening J0urnaD, and thence
sent forth to his "men and brethren" Let
it be read:
| "Should Kansas be admitted into the Union as a
| free State, as all the Northern Democratic organs
are now joyully predicting, it would be hailed by
| the Republican party as the greatest victory they
ever anticipated. The event would deserve to be
celebrated by Examinations and all manner Of public
| r,ioicings by every Republican Club throughout the
land. The people, all who love Freedom every
where, would unit in celebrating this the greatest
of Republican triuuphs But Uhdt DoaLd be ITS
effect upo, the Slous Po,csrP It would send IL stag
gerirg through the merit fifty gears. No more Slove
States can be got from present territory, iOhiLe
at least dozen Free States 0iH be 0ddrd to the
Union Them the South wiH haze thirtV Senator's,
and the North fifty. IL the House of Representa-
tines the members nil st,nd as t,oo to u. favor
of the North. THE South DM then be as one Of
the colonies of the Federal Government, dependent
and Suppliant. THIS is w'at is IN prospect for
the Sloge OIigqrchy, and they see 1t. Who be-
ieves they will easy with such fate awaiting
them? The failure of the Nebraska-Kansas con
spracy will only stimulate them to greater out
RACES. We remember speech of distingu shed
Southern Senator in which he predicted the fate OF
the South and Slavery on the issue OF Kansas
Slave or Kansas Free. The Republicans accepted
that issue"
In addition to this we present another
specimen, from the Missouri Democrat, a
paper which supported Mr.. Buchanan,
and is the rabd organ of the freeSoil SEN
tment of Saint Louis, and the neighbor-
ing free States. 1t gives a bold solution
of the cause which operated upon Mr..
Buchanan in the appointment of Gov.
Walker; and tells how the South is to be
lulled into repoSe, while freesoilism shall
win it's triumphs, and boast of its powers
in the arts of deception. How much
longer will the South rely upon those pre-
tended friends who are everyday deceiving
her, and despoiling her of her birthright?
ave have never doubted from the moment we
| saw the announcement of Walkers appointment
! to Kansas, and the flourish made about bis iuten-
tentiOn to secure the right of every man in that
territory to vote, that the administration had Ia
ken the alarm and given up the idea of driv-
ing the white out Of the territory at the point
of the bayonet to make room for negro slaves.
| The policy had been pursued by the last admins
tratiOn until it longer safe, and it had be-
come evident that il the people of the country had
known oue-half of the rascaIy practiced by Pierce
it would have insured Bucbanan's defeat. This
conviction had got to be so strong that it vas ne
cessary in Pennsylvania and other States TO pro-
| claim Mr.. Buchanan the friend of free Kansas in
order secure his election, and made it neces 1ary
to give up the scheme of fixing slavery in that
territory by the military power Of the government.
| This was and is very tcklish point for the adj
mnistration, for there is little doubt that the
| southern politicians consider Mr.. Buchanan as
pledged to that scheme, and il is equally clear that
| il he sticks TO these pledges every vestige OF a
! Democratic party will disappear from the North.
Hence arose the necessity of adherng to the bogus
| Kansas laws, which contrived TO give the
pro-slvavery party, with scarcely a 1.-THE of the
voting population their side, the complete control
of the territory, and Of sending out Robt j. Wal
| ker governor for the purpose OF prevailing on
| the prO-sldvery men TO give up their plan OF max
| ing il a slave State. If Buchanan had failed TO
recognize the bogus laws he would have had the
whole South about his ears. If he sustained them
aud thus made Kansas a slave State he would have
annhlsted his whole party at the North. II was
necessary, therefore, whilst appearing TO side with
the South by sustaining the fraudulent code, to
take measures by which Kansas might be made Q
free State without giving Offense TO the South.
| Hence the appointment OF Walker as governor,
and the proclaimed policy that il is TO be ade
tree State, but Democratic free State, With
| Walker and Stanton for the first U. 5. Senator'S"
