Now taking this "msjority n Of Gen. Atchi-
son, and the Southern IS lighting capacities of

that on the day Of voting referred
to, another armed invasion of Aissourians may
be expected in Kansas, which j" must and will
have majority at the polls on that day" We

eaters and foolish fanatics in the South, az in
the North, we seriously incline to the opinion
that this threatened Missouri invasion of Kansas
will be fizzle. Since the fall Of 1856 not less
than thirty thousand free white settlers have
been added to the population of Kansas, in.
cluding some ten or twelve thousand vOters-a
force Of itself which, duly notified, will be fully
competent to protect the polls Of Kansas against
any force which can be brought over from Mis-
souri, by General -Atchison. Under this impress.
sion, we apprehend there will be no armed in
vasion from Missouri "on the day of voting"
and for the al-sufficient and elf-evident reason
that "it cannot be made to pay"
But, supposing that the people of Kansas
invasion from Missouri; that Gov. Walker shall
wink at it, and slyly encourage it, and that thus
the majority which General Atchison linus. and
will have" is secured in favor of pro-slavery
State constitution, what will it amount to?-
than nothing for it is utterly
preposterous to suppose for an instant that such
= State constitution for Kansas, SO ratified can
secure the approval Of Congress. Nor must we
be considered SO very verdant as to entertain
The idea that our Southern secession fighting
men count upon this bringing Kansas into the
Union as Slave State. This is not their game
Their game is the destruction Of the Admins
;ration-a sectional reconstruction of parties
! fierce sectional contest for the succession-the
division of the union and the spoils and plunder

Here the letter Of Col. Keitt comes into play. !
He is . young and enthusiastic man, clever
vithal, and naturally ambitious Of Southern
and distinction. What may be ex.
,ected of him and the whole secession school
n this next Congress, he has, with his usual
broadly forshadowed in this consum.
ug letter. He does not beat about the bush,
ike the Richmond South, nor fix his eyes upon
NJ. Buchanan while lathering poor Walker; but
,e Oddly lashes the master as well as the man,
md 6atly confesses that he has as little faith in
he existing democratic party, as in the present
lemocratic administration. He say that Kansas
8 lost to the South ''through the nefarieus
md fraudulent intervention OF the federal gov
which, with good deal more of
uch language We construe into formal ultra
Southern declaration Of war against the admin.
stration and the Northern democracy.
What, then, is the policy Of Mr.. Buchanan!
f he enforces the admission Of Kansas into the
Jnion according to the letter aud ppirit of the
zansas-N Nebraska bill, Kansas will unquestiona-
,ly come in a. Free State solution which
viii split the present democratic party OF the
'outh into fragments, and raise upon their ruins
] Southern sectional and secession party. On
he other hand, should Mr. Buchanan consent to
id these secessionists in smuggling Kansas into
he Union a. Slave State, the Northern de-
nocracy will be annihilated, and the admins
ration will become even more impotent and
than that Of poor Pierce.
