cavc-.tone, and every honest man in
Kansas will therefore see the propriety
Of stunning it as howouId plndemonjum
itself
1t IS useless to deny it: the Kansas
question is vet to be settled. That task
devolycs upon the new administration.
The lull that followed the general cleo
ton has passed away, and we all perceive
that the strife has decpencd. The en-
tire organization Of the Territory Of
Kansas must be rcmodeled, il peace is to
be restored. OF il popular sovereignty Is
to prevail. The fabric built by the tllon
Legislature must be razed TO the ground
and tho whole legislature and judicial
institutions reconstructed, Especially
must the Survcyor General. and he nest
Of ,iPers in his office, be squelchcd, In
oar humble Judgment, the Kansas cues
ton has never worn the ominous aspect
and the colossal proportions whc. it Is
now beginning 10 assume. It is impos-
s;blo to conceive that the people Of thu
North Will acquicscc in :hc final triumph
Of a system ottrand, violence and rathlcss
tyraanyand equally impossiblet to conceive
that the slavery cXtcnsionists viii fore
20 tacir purposes ana therefore the
prompt and vigorous intervention Of the
President Is demanded by the most seri-
Gus considerations. If the non-intcr-
yention policy is followed, then the peo-
Ipie of tn aited States VIII review the
Convention and the late decision of the
supreme Court at the same time, with
agitation and possible coz
l;sions may he easily surmisc3 But While
