Abolitionists ! can rejoice at the conversion
of the President. Now let him apply his text ID
Siavery--io Kansas. Yes that is his duty It
was coincidence worth remarking, that on
yesterday, while the President was preaching
from this text to the Senate, against Fillibus-
terism, Mr.. Washburn Of Maine preached ia
the House, from identcally the same text,
against slavery and the pro-slavery outra-
ges in Kansas. May the people make a profit
able application Of sound preaching.
We hold the black republicans to The responsibility
Through their fundamentally indirectly hut no less
positively, they have up Congress constitution
for that noble state which sanctions and perpetuates
slavery For what purpose hnt TO keep open the bccd-
ing wounds Of that Inflated territory bot 10 furnish The

body OF that party. For what purpose but keep alive

For the life Of us, we cannot sec what the
leaders of the Democratic party in this State
are driving at. They have all along under
stood too well the anti-slavory sentiment of
Vermont to d6re to show their hands openly.
and TO acknowledge to their deudcd follow
ers that their party was in league with South
ern interests. They have commenced and
ended almost every ticlo on Kansas matters
with the bold assurance that "Kansas ,rW be
free State /" and Kansas wW yei be free. II

stand by The Administrations has been the gist
of all their editorials And vet, they have
known that this same Administration was so
completely under the thumb Of Southern fire
eaters and disunionists that it was the South,
and not the Administration. that held the en-
tire control of the whole matter The Re-
publican party has been accused of all man
nor Of trickery, meanncss and falschood in
relation thereto. but not word has been
said against the Southern agitators who have
all along been plotting and scheming to dc.
privc the people of Kansas of the right to
frame their own institutions. and be admitted
into the Union under constitution in accor-
dance with the expressed will Of the MAORI
ty. They have even tried to convince the
masses that the Republican party really de-
sired to keep mp agitation and foment dis
cord, for the purpose of political capital,
when the real "agitators" and fomentors of
discord have been their Southern disunion
drivers. The crack of the Slayocratic whip
was heard at Washington. and every slave IN
the gang instantly stepped to the length of
his chain. Tho bogus Constitutional Con.
yention and its illegitimate oGspring-the Lo-
compton Consttuton-wcro endorsed, and
President Buchanan was applauded for Yield
ing to Southern dictation in his attempts to
defraud the people of Kansas of sovereignty
over their organic law
What is the result of all this party drill
Simply this; while the Northern tools of the
pro-slavery party have been crying out that
Kansas 'cW be free; and dcceiving the people
into the belief that such was their desire.
'ne'' masters al the South have been using
every means IN 'heir power to defeat this end.
