What Is our Duty:
Our incorrigble niger egitating philosophers
Of the New York Tribune persist in the delusion
that KaDsas-"bleeding KANSAS the great
issue UPON which our State election must be and
will be fought because as they would have us
believe, the success Of the Seward party in New
York is indispensable to the success of the free
State cause in Kansas. On the contrary, we
take the position that, as neither our delegation
to the House Of Representatives nor member
of the Senate at Washing ton will be involved in
our November canvass, bleeding Kausas' be-
comes an outside issue, and that the repeal or
continuance by the next Legislature Of the acts
of the last becomes the main question, which
brings bleeding New York" into the fore
ground.
The local grievances, wrongs and suferings of
the free State party in KaDsas-the "bogus
code''-"the quartering Of troops upon Law
renee to brighten and harrass the free State
men''-"the recent villanous apportionment
of the Territorial Legislature 20 as to
secure if possible bogus successor to that bogus
bo5y"-the appointment to the best local Offices
of active border ruffian leaders the ''new
legal prosecutions set on foot against free State
men for old affairs of years standing, while
murders the most cod blooded and robberies the
most atrocious 60 everywhere in the Territory
unpublished, except occasionally by Lynch law"
&c, &c, are serious complaints concerning the
local administration of Kansas affairs, and would
be excellent issues for our fall election, if we
were living in Kansas, or If our fall election
comprehended the choice by our people of q sim
gle government officer for Kansas or single Of
fcer for the general government.
But Kansas is distant Territory; it's local af-
fairs are in the hands of its own people and its
local authorities, ''such az they are" and their
proceedings are subject to acceptance or rejec-
ton by Congress. We have no voice in the cleo.
ton of the local authorities Of Kansas, and our
last accIuing vacancies in the new Congress
were provided for year ago. We have nothing,
therefore, to accomplish in making I" bleeding
Kansas the issue Of our approaching State cleo
ton, except useless and worse than useless ag-
tion of the business belonging to thepeople ofano
ther jurisdiction. But why maxi" bleeding Kansas
an issue in New York, when our Tribune philoso-
piers assure us that they shave not less conf
dence than the HERALD that Kansas will become
free State ?" Oh. but they do not rely upon
Buchanan, nor upon Walker, nor upon the good
sense or discretion of the democratic party" but
they believe that freedom will triumph in Kan
sas," from the belief that republicapism will
sustain itself in New York" In conclusion the
Tribune says, 'If we imagined that Mr. Buchanan
could gain the political control OF this State, our
confidence in the immediate future of Kansas
would be very much shaken"
Sorry for it; but this is begging and blinking
the question. Mr.. Buchanan has the example Of
poor Pierce before him, and knows that should
he carry out the border rufian policy
Of fraudulently converting Kansas into
a slave State, his administration, from the
day Of the contamination Of that act, will
be left without the support Of solitary
Northern State and that the country will become
demoralized, if not disorganized, between two
violent sectional parties. He knows too that
under a fair administration Of the Kansas-Ne-
brasks bill, Kansas must be admitted as q free
State, and that in this solution OF the question,
being in accordance with the organic law, the
whole country will acquiesce. We think, also,
that inasrnuch as the trick Of smuggling Kansas
into the Union with an tr pdrte pro-slavery con-
stitution would utterly sweep away the Northern
In antor oil In No1r
York that the Northern democratic members of
the new Congress will cut their own tbroats to
eppease the fire. eating salamanders Of the South.
We accordingly repudiate this whole schedule
Of atrocities charged against Mr.. Buchanan, Gov.
Walker and the bogus authorities and border
ruffians Of Z" bleeding Kansas" as outside issues,
having no practical bearing upon our New York
State election limited or II s TO the local affairs
and Offices of the State But on the other hand,
the sugerings Of " bleeding New York, !" from the
Seward lobby rufians at Albany, urgently de-
mard the pruning knife. An increased State cx-
penditure of over three millions and an increased
city squandering of q million and half, are
something In the way Of bleeding which ap-
peals directly TO the people of New York.
Therefore IL is that we believe the doings of
the border rufiaps in Kansas will be overslaugh-
ed In our November election, by the direct home
question Of the Seward party and their spoils
operations Of ast winter at Albany. Such spoils
Jobs as our Central Park Commissioner bill; our
new city charter, which nobody asked for except
the spoiltmen concerned our Excise law, of
odiously discriminating pains and penalties; our
Metropolitan Police act, with is bloody accom-
paniments and legal shystering and bleeding
our Port Warden bill, of nine special Albany
appointed pensioners upon our merchants; our
City Hall Commissioners bill, with its fat pick
ings TO another gang of beeders, and such like is
sues, are things which cannot be covered up with
the bogus laws and passing border rufian incidents
