A correspondent Of the London Time 1
snys that an exceedingly fatal epidemic has
been for sometime ravaging the herds Of
Central Europe, and has now reached Kon.
Igsberg, where one proprietor is said to have
lost three hundred head in a night. The
writer says: q

Introduction over 40, 900 cattle died in Not

as many more in Cheshire. During the third

ment, who hsd ordered the destruction Of
diseased cattle, for no fewer than 10000
head. while twice as many more, according
to the report Of one of the commissioners,
died of the malady. In the fourth year il
was equally fatal, nor does it appear to have
completely disappeared till eight years al:

a Base Attempt to make Kansas
o.. e.og n SInrc Sfnfe.

Tteah be no longer doubted, that Il is the
tall determination Of the Republican party
no make KANSAS aSlave State, and il is time
for those who really desire 10 see freedom
established there, TO be made aware of the
means resorted to. and The schemes laid, to
,6x upon that territory The chains Of bon.
idsRe. SoaF ~ -
During the late campaign our opponents
hoped, prayed and prophesied, that the in
stitutiohr ofthe South would be extended.
They were beaten in the contest. But now,
psa matter Of revenge. and 10 order TO se-
cure some little prospect Of a triumph in lu-
iire. they are deliberately carrying out a
programme, which il successful, will ass sure.
'ty estabfishelavery in Kansas as cause will
produce effect. And what isYheir program.
mel Listen To a few facts. It is conceded
by all parties that the Free State men Of
Kansas have decided majority in the terri
tnry. II they would vote they could carry
every election; they could secure majority
of the Legislature; they could repeal all
&'tnoxious laws; they could provide for 4
constitutional convention in their own way,
send according to their own views of right;
they could elect majority of the delegates
TO ffume that constitution; through these
delegates they could prohibit slavery, and
when their constitution was finally submit.
ated'to the people, they could adopt it as the
fOrganic law of sAe State, ard be admitted
into the UWien as a free and independent
-commcnwealih. s .a
This is the plain, easy and certain mode
Of securing freedom to themselves and to
Kansas. There is no danger or difficulty in
the way. And yet, under all these circum.
stances, the Free State men refuse TO uote-
refuse % secure that very freedom uaich they
''Prstesd 70 desire. By refusing 10 pote, they
lesve oil the concerns Of the territory in the
hands n their opponents, and thus there is
great danger that o pro slavery constitution
will be adopted.
: Last fall, at the election for members o!
the Legislature, the Free State me n remain.
ed At hcmc, and herce, pro slavery Legis.
latlre wac chosen, Now when they are call.
I'd upsnto elect delegates to frame a con.
stitution. they meet in convention and by O
public and solemn resolution they declare
mat ihey siR not cote. They are determined
TO establish slavery--tbey desire nothing
else, and according to present indications
their desire will be granted. ...... E...
A more despicable and transparent scheme
Of villainy was never planned. But they
have begun the work too early; their designs
are spparent, snd will be understood by the
people. II KaDsas is made Slave State,
the Republican party will be made respon.
sible therefor, aud mny thank themselves
for the curse brought upon them. The set
Element Of this whole question is with them.
BY going to the polls and voting, as homes,
men should do, they establish freedom; by
rfemaining at home and refusing to vote,
ethey permit slavery to be established.
