SHALL KANSAS BE A SLAVE STATEl

SHALL KANSAS BE A SLAVE SIAlE
A mos, profound apathy has taken possession OF
the Southern press in relation to the fate OF Kansas
Our contemporaries in Virginia seldom refer to the
subject at all and whenever they do, it seems TO be
only to concede that fair domain TO the rapacous
grasp uf the abolifionists. 1t must be confessed
that The prospect j. not go cheering as II was some
months ago, but the fault is with the South. We
have not sustained, as we should have done by our
influence and our means, those brave ana nobie'
hearted pioneers who have been ralyihg around tne
standard and fighting the battles Of the South IN
Kansas. We have stood calmly ny ana suffered
N. York. Ohio, Wisconsin and Vermont to make by
enactment large contributions from their treasures
TO the cause of "bleeding Kansas. we have quiet
Iy permitted persistent and systematic enortt oe
made to force the boasted freedom OF the North
into territory favoraoiy dsPosed 10 'te c1nserva
tsm and other heathu influences of Southern in
siitutious.
Why are Southern men 80 little Interested IN the
future of Kansas? What has lued the Southern press
into such profound indifference Shall We, after
having made show of fight, put our swords back
into their scabbsrds and surrender the fed without
a struggled This is not the manner in which South
ern men, in their personal capacity, are in the habit
of settling difficulty. Why should a more slothful
and timd policy he adopted, when the South demands
the services OF her sons
We are no advocates for any rash or unwarrantabe
proceedings. We are no apologists fol unlawful or
riotous conduct. We give no counteDance TO any
action on the part of the South, which is inconsistent
with due sense of stlfrespect and the natural
suggestions of self But the stake of the
South in the fate of Kansas is much larger than ma
ny persons are apt to suppose. Every proper effort
should be promptly made to secure that territory as
Southern soil When We zee that immense sums OF
money are being used to defeat our hopes and dves'
of rights; when we see that the most corI ~
ing and Internal agencies are employed to turn Tue

The writer j, son of a late distinguished Senator
from one of the New England States. The letter is
written flom on board the United States ship ST.
Louis, and aa,ed October l5 1885, at Little Fish
Bay, west coast of Africa:
There is very little variety upon this coast. Mig.

few people, called white, and crowd, mass OF mis-

of the happest negroes upon the face OF the earth Is
misplaced, theu have only to say be is past hope
and past cure.
"As live, do not believe there is one negro in
one thousand upon the coas of Africa who is as wei

Homeopathy LANcED.--The homepath
is one whose philosophy is to expect some
thing from nothing, whose logic is comprised
in assertions without proof; whose moral
mechanics require q fulcrum of credulity to
work on; who sacrifices the right to the ex-
pedient; who places his trust in crying out
one thing, and crying that one thing very
loudly; who is occasionly very clever man
with bee in his bonnet; is sometimes
knave, sometimes q fool, and often both :.
who is great tea-table Psychologist, and
luxuriates in scientific lectures adapted to
the meanest capacity; who, like the ass in
the lions skin, takes advantage of degrees,
legitimately obtained, to practice in mat
ter diametrically opposed to the belief he
expressed for the purpose of obtaining them,
and who calls this honesty; whose influence
is almost entirely exercised on weak mind
ed men and silly women; and who considers
that rowing against the stream of science is
the way to arrive at the ocean of truth
