and safety upon her union, and Vindicate her
existence by her own resources.
The day is past when treacherOus concession,
and huckstering compromises can stay back tarau-
cism and trust that the day will. never come
wh.n " meaning or insulting hOsannahs to the
Union will be able to bind her arm when made
bare strike her foe. The rival forms of society
at the North and at the South about to face
each other and shv, ring cabinets, cOnvulsive
Administrations nor dying PiTtes, can avoid the
conflict or mitigate the shock. spurious and
ldChrymOse Philanthropy, synonymous with pau
perism and riot is riltlng down upon the point
ed spears of SOuthern slavery, and either North
erD license, Southern law must triumph. Never
before have they fairly faced each other, but all
tificial obstacles rapidly disappearing, and
the contest is beginning in earnest. Hopeful and
patriotic believe that this contest would be
mitigated into rivalry, and restrained within due
bounds by the principles of the Kansas-N ebrasks
Bill. Under its shelteripg provisions they believe
that the different forms of soci ty, North and
South, could expand and develop siOe by side, and
that the m c nery of government might hence
move on without being broken in pieces or jostled
from its track The Bill Itself was founded upon
the fact that the forms of society and labor at the
North and ut the South were different aud its pro-
visions intended to secure an honorable and
amicable rivalry between them. The federal gov
eminent, as the agent Of both, was pledged 10
inhexibe neutrality while the champions of each
struggled to advance their respective This
neutrality OF the IL DelleVtQ would
allow legitimate expansion and development to the
institutions of each section, and thereby arrest all
| improper collisions. During Mr.. Pierce's admins
tration this neutrality maintained by the Pres-
dent, though prTjured Governors basrly betraying
their trusts, violated it. They removed, and
! it well known that the administration did not
| sympathise with their treachery.
Has the present administration fairly carried out
| the provisions of the Kausas-Nebraska bill? Have
they secured fair lay between the North and the
! South? The first act was the appointment as Gov
ernor of Kansas, of a man of broken fortunes and
! sullied name; needy adVenurer, who treaded up
! on the sine, rty of the South and stole into her
! confidence, through deceitful prof ssiOus. What
was bis first act? To d, bauch Kansas from alegi-
ance to the South, and deliver her into the hands
of reesoiI fanatics. To say that the cause of tine
South lost in Kansas prior to the appointment
of alker is to pallat fraud by ialsehoOd. plain
statements of facts will show the truth in this par
! tcUlir. Upon the passage of the Kansas-N ebras-
! ka Bill, Effort Immediately made by both
sections, the South to establish, the North to pro
! ihit, slavery. This issue absorbed all others, and
constituted the gravamen of every contest in that
| Territory. Companies organized at the North,
| aud money freely contributed by Legislatures and
| individuals coloDize Kansas with frpesoil incen-
diaries, and exDl slavery from its limits. The
South was aroused by the fierce and plungng prop
agandism of the North, and her sOus went to cham
piOn her cause in the new Territory and her mon
! ey was given to maintain them in the struggle. at
|
| sIs became the battle ground, where the forms OF
| society and labor North and South, strOve for the
| mastery. This the only question agitated in
| the Territory. Contest succeeded contest, the
! South won each; triumph followed triumph, and
each was embazon,d upon her banner. Three
| times was Gen. Whitfield elected the Delegate from
the Territor, and each time lie elected as the
! pro-slaVerY representative. large majority of
the members of the Territorial Legislature have al
ways been pro-slavery men, and tn constitution,
which is expected to close the Territ rial OF
KAnsss, and inaugurate her a State, is absolute
| ly in the hands of the same party. Public Law
makes this convention the absolute architect OF the
| constitution of Kansas, and usage in many cases,
dispenses with the submission of the constitution to
! popular ratification.
| Why we're companies organized and money lev
! led at the North but to make Kansas free STATE?
| Why were efforts made at the South TO colouize
| Kansas and money given TO accomplish this, but
| to make her slave StateI Every effort every
! struggle, every movement on either side, were
| made make Kansas free or slave State. The
Federal Government, the agent of both parties,
was pledged to absolute impartality between the
conJeudiug parties. The South won every phase
OF the issue and every step of the fight; and now,
when the ptre of control is in her very grasp it
| is suddenly and rudeIy torn away from her. How
| comes it that this change has so suddenly happier
| ed! How comes il that the caHse of the South has
| so suddenly gone down? PeIjured governors have
broken faith blast her cause, aud vet she brave
| " struggles and wins the victory against all odds
| Prosttuted patronage insiuuatvs its d,bauchery
and yet the Rerves of the South unslacked and
her energy unqueled. Year after year the terrific
~ Is shaken with revolt is stained with blood and
| wrapped in flames, aud yet the cause Of the south
] prosprrs, aud Ter banner Is triumphant. The last
and closing struggle is made, aud the victory is
hers when lo its fruits turn TO ashes in her hands
and despsir settles upon Ter cause. Why this so
sudden changer Is il not the nefariOus and fraud
