New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-08-28

sit ID Of very little consequence what sort Of in
stitutions are imposed upon them;" and that
paper winds up with the following cool Observs'
tons: Certainly, the men Of New-iork have
"questions of serious enough import weighing
upon them at home to justify them in disregard,
ling eXtraneous matters, nih rhich they hare
nothing rhatertr 10 do"
In all this we have not the least doubt that The
Herald very candidFy and clearly expresses it's
own sentiments We now very distinctly under
stand why that journal proposes to exclude the
Kansas question from our State canvass. The
Herald, it seems, has eyes to see with, intelli-
gence to comprehend, where only mere matters
Of fact perceivable by the senses are concerned,
or mere abstract questions of justice or injustice,
right and wrong, are involved. But The Herald
cares for none of these things. 1t has no feeling
that impels it to aid the oppressed and to smite
down the oppressor. 1t does not care for the
| people of Kansas. 1t does not care for anybody
but it,elf and, now that the State election is ap
| preaching, over which The Herald hopes to ex-
| ercise an influence, for the people Of the
| State Of New.York Perhaps after the cleo
ton is over it may lose its concern for them just as
since the presidential election, it has lost its con.
Germ for the unhappy people of Kansas-thus
relapsiDg, unless in the mean time it should have
gone completely over to Buchanan and the
Democratic party, into that state of pure self
ishness, all head and no heart which it seems to
Thrill the acme Of human perfection.
Such is the development of its psychological con-
dtion which The Herald voluntarily makes, from
which it is pretty plain that the desires aud
efforts of that journal to exercise decisive infu-
ence over the approaching State election are
doomed to disappointment The people of the
State of New-York may not be quite as sharp
sighted as The Herald, bat what they may fall
short in perspicacty they mske up in sentiment
The Herald may talk itself hoarse; it will never be
able to persuade the people of the State of New
York that Kansas and its fate is an eXtraneous
matter, with which they have nothing whatever to
do. Great numbers Of the citizens Of the State of
New York have in Kansas sOns, daughters, broth
ers, sisters, near relations and dear friends Are
they to look on their fate with Indifference, and in
the relish hope Of saving few cents or dollars in
State taxes to leave those dear friends and rela
tons in the lurch to shift for themselves to rely
on the tender mercies of Buchanan and Walker
the bogus laws, and Democratic Congress The
Hrald is totally mistaken in thus judging the peO-
pie of the State of New-YOrk by itself. The peO-
pie of the State of New-York have hearts. They
have sympathies. They love Freedom. They hate
Slavery. They are opposed to its extension.
They are advocates, and warm ones, too, Of the
rights of free labor. They cannot look
on and see fraud and violence without feeling
their indignation Use. They consider themselves
to have been egresiously wronged in the matter Of
the Kansas Nebraska BILL aud not only that, but to
have been most basely betrayed by those on whose
fidelity and truth they had a right to rely. They
consider the pretense of Squatter Sovereignty base
cheat intended from the beginning, to swindle the
Frees State men. They consider the "a lure of the
Federal Administration to sustain the actual settlers
of Kansas in the rights of selfgoyernment guaran-
teed to them by the Territorial act base derelc-
zion fom a selfimpOsed duty, and scandalous
failure to perform voluntary promise. They con-
slider the introduction of Border Ruffian rule into
Kansas and the sustentatiOn as valid and binding
of bogus CODE passed by intrusive Legislature,
elected by Alis ;Ouri votes, the most desperate
and dangerous blow struck at our Free institutions
since they bad an existence.
To come to the people of the State of New York,
and to tell them that these are matters the interest
in which does not extend beyond the limits of Kan.
cas-; that these are questions in which they (the
people of the State Of New-YOrk) have no interest
whatever, is an insult Of the most offensive Sort
| To come to the people of the State of New. York
and ask them to forgive and forget all the past; to
| leave Kansas to Buchanan AID Walker and that
Democratic party from which all its wrongs
originated aud to signify, if not their appreciation
Of Border Ri fiansm and the extension of Slavery,
at least their Indifference thereto, by intrusting the
| Government Of the State of New-York to the mis-
cradle doughfaces who have consented to, and who
It'll consent to, all the bold experiments lately at
tempted and still in progress for crushing out Free
Labor and extending Slavery; to come to the peo-
pe ofthe State of NewYOrk with such proposal
ia not merely an INSULT is an outrage, as The
Herald will, we imagine, be apt to discover by the
time the election is over.
