slavery plot in Kansas.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial writing from Lawrence, confirms
the report which we copied from the Chica-
60 Tribune, of the design of the Slavery
couspirators in Kansas. The U. S. Senate
is ready to consummate the scheme, and the
House of Representatives, by its vote on
the admission of Whitfield, has testified its
readiness for ary rasealties required by the
Slavery aristocracy.
He says;
The Slave Oligarchy of this country new
er sleeps. 1t is "heartless, grasping, and
tyranical-with an audacity beyond that OF
Machiavel, mcanness beyond that of Ba-
con and an ability beyond that of Hastings; y
determined to blast the virgin soil of this
territory with the wthering blighting, con
suming curse Of human chattelism, and to
Danish from this soil the hard working and
free laboring men, who have settled here to
make free homes and to consecrate Kansas
to freedom.
While our people are congratulating
themselves upon the enjoyment of peace,
the secret lodges Of Western Missouri are
in full operation. Agents are canvassing
the Slave States for men and means to car
ry on the war to successful end. The South
is active, and what arc the people of the
North doing to save Kansas?
The programme of the fire-eaterS, is for
the members of the Bogus Legislature of
this territory recently elected, and to be con
vened early nczt month, in accordance with
the expressed will of those who voted to
call convention for the framing of CON
stitution for the State of Kansas.
An election will be called, and the most
ultra pro-slavery men will be elected. An
army Of Invaders arc in readiness on the
borders of Missouri, to march over, if noees-
sary, to assist in the election, and as the
aforesaid Legislature have the power to de-
fine the duties of the members of the con-
vention, etc, constitution recognizing and
protecting slavery in Kansas will be passed,
and sent to Washington, without being sub
mitted to the people for their approval or
reiection-a principle laid down in Toombs'
bill, and adopted by the U. S. Senate, thus
avoiding the necessity of incurring the ex-
pense of second invasion to secure the
adoption of said Constitution.
The only way to save Kansas is by n
large emigration from the Northern States,
and by revolution in order to overthrow
the Territorial Governmental wipe out theil
acts of tyranny, and for the establishment
of n new order of things.
To Illustrate the spirit of the South man
Tested in this contest, it is only necessary to
copy the following from the columns Of the
Kickapoo Pioneer, published in this terrific
ry, and sustained by government advertising
