The Kanzas news., 1857-12-05
The End is not Yet.

1t has been supposed that the recent cleo
tions in Kanzas would decide the fate of the
embryo State, but from the report of the
Committee on Slavery adopted by the Kan
zas constitutional Convention, there is
room for belief the tug of war is yet to
come; that the great battle between Free
dom and Slavery is yet to be fought
Backed up by the armed forces of the Fed
eral government, and sustained with won
derful unanimity by the Sham Democracy
in both the North and the South, the pup
pets that the Slave Power has put up to do
its bidding, are inexorably pushing forward
to the accomplishment of their infamous
work. In defiance of large popular ma
jority known to be opposed to the enslaye
ment of the State, in defiance of the cries
of shame shame! that come from all parts
of Ehristendom, in opposition to their own
best interests and the wants of those whom
they ostensibly represent, they have sol
emnly committed themselves to the support,
extension and justification of the plague
spot of the age-the atheism of the times
and win call upon Congress, by admitting
hem into the Union under the instrument
they have prepared and which will not be
submitted to the test of popular vote, to
approve their act Thus the great question
remains unsettled. Thus it will be trans
ferred from Lecompton to Washington,
from the Territory to the whole Republic.
Thus it daily enlarges its fearful proportions.
Let the conspirators go on We have
faith yet in the moral solvency of the
American people; and we do not believe
that the American Congress, though ma
iority of its members have been elected IN
der expressed and implied pro-Slavery
pledges, can be made to approve this enor-
nifty Let those who think the Anti
Slavery sentiment is dead-overwhelmed by
the defeat of Fremont and the political re-
verses in New York, Minnesota and Wis
consin-try it; and the fraud by which
| they deluded thousands of honest electors
and secured for themselves the possession
of power, will be exposed and the storm
viii rage. Our hope is not IN the leaders
of the Sham Democracy-in the facile Bu-
l'chanan and traitorous Douglas, or those
who take instruction and accept dictation
from their lips !; they are subsidized-sold
to the enemy. We fall back upon the Dem
oeratic masses who have believed that the
words of their teachers meant something,
when they said that the party intended to
make Kanzas free State. They will hold
/ their Representatives In check and woe be
to that New Yorker, Pennsylvania or IL
linoisan who does not heed their admonir
ton Let the rank and file look to it that
they are not infamously betrayed IN the
struggle that approaches. Douglas eapac-
! ity for duplicity and treachery is not ex-
| hausted. W
The above article we clip from the Chi
cago Tribune of the 18th ult. In the first
paragraph it very truthfully portrsys the
progress in our Government of demorali-
zstion and despotism as evinced by the his
| tory of Kanzas but in the faith it profess
es to have in the Democratic masses of the
North we are sorry to say that we do not
concur. Our hope in the rank and file of
the Northern Democracy has long since
departed, and We fully believe that though
each successive fraud may weaken the ranks
of the .sPlug-uglies," yet the ignorance
of the greater portion of that body and the
supineness and lukewarmness of their An
ii Slavery opponents viii secure a sufficient
number of Northern Doughfaees TO enable
the oiigarehy to control Congress and the
Democracy, at least in all the schemes they
/ now have on hand.
